it's round, like always

for all the food science advances of the last few years, real cheese is an unassailable bastion of flavour that vegan alternatives cannot match. the person who cracks this conundrum will become insanely rich

i dunno about that. the only thing they'd get is dominance over the vegan cheese market, which is a bit like being the largest military power in norfolk

Why would it do that!?
I got myself a noice 55" TV with Ambilights earlier this year, very please and not too expensive. In the last couple of weeks the aerial freeview signal has gone though, so we haven't been watching any live TV... so now I'm thinking what's the point to keeping a TV license? I was wondering why BBC crap like Dracula was appearing on Netflix, but I guess this at least gives people the non-license payers a chance to watch such golden telly.

i actually think of all counties Norfolk would have quite a few modern day armed yeomen and probably they get together in pubs to get angry together. that's a military power of sorts imo

the global cheese market, known as Big Cheese, is about 69 billion dollars (nice)

I'm surprised there wasn't more pushback against the TV license when Sky really got going. You have to pay for the installation and upkeep of a separate broadcast system, plus every channel is ad supported, but you still need to pay the BBC in full before you're allowed to watch them? Even more so once Freeview came in, and suddenly everyone had access to a couple of hundred other channels, also ad supported. And there isn't any concession to low income households other than the elderly or visually impaired, so it seems like a really crap model all round.

There's been protest groups and petitions and whatnot all the way along its just that every time there were tides of people going "oh but we need the BBC, because it's the only channel that's guaranteed to be impartial" and well, look how that turned out.

hmm, yeomans could be scary yes, but I find it hard to be scared of people with regional accents. Like I know i have a 'reginal' accent myself (estury english) but lol if some bum-gently caress from norflk or suffolk tries to intimidate me with words. I would probably just find it quite funny.

Likr you crispix, you are from norn ireland right. Any times i read your posts, I imagine that you have had to inhale helium b4 posting them, to detract credibility from what-ever you say/type.

It is slightly strange how doing something considered 'manly' make you feel like more of an adult man. I remember fixing something on my car once, something that a dealership or service place would have charged me £££ for, but I did the fix on the cheap and it worked.

I swear that my biceps got like 20% larger after I realised the fix worked.

Hay, look at me ladies, i fixed this car and everthing!!! lol

Is it true that Norfolk is the only county in the UK that doesn't have any kind of Motorway.

Sorry yeah, I just checked on google maps. gently caress THE SINGLE LANE IN EACH-DIRECTION A303.

back in 2001 I had a job working down in bideford, so I remember driving atleast that far into the west-country. The A303 was a torment. At the time I was driving a lovely slow car, so If I got stuck behind something on a single-carrageway road I would have to sit behind it for mile after mile after mile. I'm sure there is a motorway that goes in that direction though. I am trying to remember the drive from maidstone to bideford and it was mostly motorway.

you'd have to leave the M5 at junction 27 and go along the A361 for like an hour to get to bideford. I lived down that way for 20 years

Ahh yes, the famous Blackdown Hills. I just drove along there, in fact. You should try living down here, great part of the country but getting out of here in the summer to go...anywhere, is an absolute nightmare.

Theres no doubt achieving something useful is satisfying. The most satisfying feeling always seems to involve chainsaws (and maybe patios).
