Thinking of joining IDNet

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 18:36:53

I don't have a thingy, Malc, none of the staff do - but if I did I'd be an Ultimate Netter - In is headed that way now.

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 18:37:45

No thingy. Oh

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 18:41:40

Yup, we give up our thingies when we join the staff. Selfless bunch, aren't we.

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 18:57:01

Do you get them back when you leave? Are they stored in jars?

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 18:58:08

We each have our very own canopic jar by the door.

MoHux · Feb 07, 2008, 19:07:38

They used to call 'em spittoons!!

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:08:59

They still have 'em in Yates Wine Lodge in Bolton!

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 19:14:22

No wonder I can feel a draught.

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:15:39

Not as I go there, I don't drink, gave it up years ago.

Don't really like the taste, hate the morning after feeling.

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 19:16:53

I haven't touched alcohol in almost 13 years - it interacts badly with my medication. I miss it very occasionally, but not often.

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:18:01

Not drank for probably 20 years, however chocolate, now that's a different matter.

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 19:20:19

To remove chocolate would be to remove my life support system.

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:21:13

And chips, and roast spuds.

Si · Feb 07, 2008, 19:21:30

What about chocolate liquers....?!

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 19:22:25

Chips - yes
Roasties - yes
Liqueurs of any form - no

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:23:05

Well, they are ok, you'd need a lot of them to get drunk.

What I call sweet alcohol is ok now and then, with meals, like Shandy, sweet white wine etc.,

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 19:24:31

My GP even has to check if there's alcohol, of any form, in anything he prescribes. Allergy about sums it up...

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:25:48

Roasties are an art form.

Here's what I do, cut into small pieces, part boil, drain add a bit of flour, shake then put in oven in half inch of oil, on quite high (7).

Any tips Rik, to improve?

Rik · Feb 07, 2008, 19:26:31

You'd have to ask Sue, Malc - I just stand in awe and eat in plenty.

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:27:23

Sounds good to me

Si · Feb 07, 2008, 19:36:50

Goose fat...

Best. Roasties. Ever!

Malc · Feb 07, 2008, 19:38:39

Must remember that. Thanks

Pintosal, don't think about joining just do. Join you'll not regret it and the tech staff are very helpful and friendly.

Do yourself a favour and come and join this Great Internet Service Provider
