Really? Chicken tikka and few other tikkas as well are food of Indian sub-continent. "Masala" is a gravy that was apparently added for British people.
That gravy alone has taste and salt so can't be British food.

Dont be daft, we Brits love salt, we sometimes make it in to a solution using vinegar and serve it with a side of fish and chips.

Can't argue.
Both Yorkshire pudding and chicken tikka masala are both English recipes, so it's as English as it gets.
I think I'd prefer a combination of shepherd's pie and trifle, though.

British cuisine - there's an oxymoron for you...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Swedish cuisine - Wikipedia[^]
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Thanks to IKEA I was under the impression that Swedish cuisine main ingredients were sawdust and epoxy, and that instead of cooking the dishes are to be assembled
Actually I kind of like IKEA restaurants, even if they serve a lot of local dishes in Italy. I particularly enjoy their desserts, but then, I enjoy also british and ameraican desserts...

I love Yorkshire puddings Some people eat them as a dessert - Blackberry & apple Yorkshire puddings | BBC Good Food[^] and 15 Insanely Delicious Yorkshire Pudding Recipes[^].
Don't be fooled by what others say, a lot of our food - when prepared and cooked properly - tastes pretty good. I guess that's the same for most places

Great opening line:
"The Swedish cuisine is the cuisine of the Swedish people"
I'd rank it right up there with "It was a dark and stormy night".

To be fair it could have been based around dishes cooked using swedes (the vegetable, not the people [^])
Also, I now know what a rutabaga is (we always called them swedes)

I only found that out myself a few months ago -- along with the fact that I should have been calling kakis "persimmon".
Where was this knowledge hiding?

Is that the one where Tom Cruise infiltrates a Russian nursing home?

Pretty Close. 88 minutes of the 90 minutes you believe it is a Russion nursing home, but than the masks go off and team beta was testing Cruises team in a remote state of the USA.

Actually it says "StopCode WHEA" ... after so many re-boots with different settings I need to get re-souled, but turns out killing Skype ... after a system restore ... enabled me to limp here to scream. Anyhow, I know the entities that pulled this off are just making puns at my expense, as well as smirking and laughing, damn their tentacles.
The last System.Restore point I have says it was done at 5am on the 13th. (GMT + 7), but the computer was turned off at that time ... so: it could be the same people who follow me, video-taping everything I do, then slicing the videos into millisecond-duration clips that are cleverly inserted in any video I watch on this computer, often concurrently flashing (I'd estimate for less than a millisecond) certain words, like: "die," "kill," "hate," "Pepsi," set in black type against a white back-ground. If they can get into my house any time night or day, if they can climb walls like a Gecko, and hang upside down, to film me from strange angles, I am sure they could start my computer and have their perverse ways with it. Perhaps the only clear sign of my sanity I have left is that I can see what they doing, although, of course, their motivations, origins, ultimate purposes, etc., are opaque (which may be a blessing).
Note that I am too polite to describe here the various perverted distortions used in these subliminal video clips where my redacted is seen redacted with redacted.
Getting back to Win 10 fail: the symptoms are:
1. I get to the desktop; after about 30 seconds the mouse freezes, the keyboard doesn't respond. Nothing to do but reboot. This suggest to me a problem loading some dll.
1.a. whether 'tis a fluke that this one time (enabling to log in at present) I was able to get online, by killing Skype, or whether that's just an accident ... to be seen.
2. No sign of over-heating, no strange beeps.
Of course, I'll be happy to hear your story of violation and ruin; after all, suffering shared is suffering diluted.
cheers, Bill
