Flour and water make paste (or fruit cake) - not very tasty (for most of us). Then, of course, there's cookies.
Same thing with tofu. It's easy to get it wrong. But I've seen carnivores scraping their plates after seconds at my table.
No sh*t.

You will find your stockings* stuffed with coal (made of charred bacon).

I have big stockings (and I'll route them into the coal bunker for when it gets really cold)!

Nah, I wouldn't use them - the coal dust will fall through the holes and it's a bugger to get out of carpet.

I just posted an Android Article
and Christmas Eve tomorrow...
|
|
|
|
|
I saw it in the moderation queue and it looks like it'll shape up into a good article as you progress with the project. Well done on your first Android - that's two more than me!
|
|
|
|
|
I dropped my first CP article, it seemed to go down well thinking about a second it is addictive!
|
|
|
|
|
Can't wait to see it - even it's unlikely I will ever work with Android...
Good luck!

I'm just about to start working with Android, as a hobby, as soon as I find my bloody phone battery. Took it out in my bedroom because the phone was drenched, but was in a hurry to catch a flight. Came time to leave the battery had vanished. In one room. I've since returned and still can't find it. I have no cleaning staff that would have moved or stolen it; it is still somewhere in my bedroom. And not under the bed.

You may try this:
The Place Where All The Missing Socks Go[^].
Or this:
Find Lost Objects[^].
Or you may whistle to it
Or go and buy a new one.
The day the new will arrive you will find the lost one...

I have planned a trip to Edinburgh tomorrow but just found out that there is a yellow warning due to heavy wind etc. My plan was to stay there for xmas and do a day tour to highlands on 26th. But not sure if it's a good idea due to weather condition.
Is anyone from Edinburgh or around Edinburgh who can confirm it's crazy out there and I must cancel my tickets.
Thanks

Scotland & highlands in autumn/winter is incredibly beautiful, scenic & BRACING (aka COLD) if you are southern Wuss like me. If however you are from the Northern Parts of the UK (and have more than a passing acquaintance Iru Bru!) it should not be too bad. However the weather forecast is for flying cows so I would think carefully about it now, (off topic, Why are there so many people shopping like its going to be the siege of Stalingrad)

I almost wept when I saw it for sale in a supermarket when I lived in the middle east. Being from Newcastle I re-iterate almost. However, I did shed a tear when I found the truthfully-titled "Pork Butcher".

Mmmm, strange how it's main stream ("like dude, it's forgotten where it came from") when I was a Kid my family bought a Soda Stream and my Mum (born near Newcastle) was in shock it was available as a flavour, as we only had it when one of her relative either bought a (Glass, returnable) bottle down.
Ah well 'Barrs Irn Bru mad in Scotland from Girders!'

It's been available around here as far back as I can remember (though originally in the bottles you describe). Used to be one of the three tipples of choice when getting a paper from the chippie (the others were Tizer and Dandelion & Burdock). I think Barr's had a plant in Newcastle.
Rust-coloured goodness in a glass.
[Edit]
Cracked and had to go to the canteen to buy a tin.

Because the shops are closed for one whole day!
Obviously, you have to stock up on perishables: you need a dozen loaves of bread because you might get fifty visitors who want a Turkey Sandwich on Christmas day, obviously. And they are all going to need a dozen cups of tea, so you need 40 pints of milk and a couple of kilos of sugar. And another bottle of vodka, three more boxes of chocolates and a turkey so huge it won't actually fit in the oven1. And quick - we need a sack of potatoes, I've got to cook a kilo of roasties each, and grab those sausages, and the sprouts we all hate - no, just kick her, she'll let go, they are ours - What's that red thing? Dunno? Grab it anyway...
One place in the south of England I used to live in the locals would take two trolleys with them on Christmas eve: one for food, and one for bread...
1 I had that problem with a Goose one year - had to cut it in half to get it in the oven, but Mum wanted Goose for Christmas so I got one. Foul thing, tasted horrible and never got another.

The whole shopping thing is bizarre, but I can see the not having to go out, allowing for "I'm gonna spend four days drunk" but come on... After Christmas dins I always fall asleep and don't really to eat for a good 48 hours (but I try darn it!) It is madness tonight I am going home and do no work related programming for the rest of this year or get out of bed (wish, but wont happen). Might have a geeky play with the Adrino's & Rasp PI's but that for fun, not profit!

It seem that thing are really bad out-there...
