Nah, mushy peas originated around Yorkshire (I think) I think they used them for repairing holes in their shoes back in the old days... :)

They wore shoes in Yorkshire? I thought it was just a London thing.  :roflmao:

Legend has it that there was only ever one pair of shoes in Yorkshire and everyone took a turn at wearing them, hence the need to repair the rather worn out old things with mushy peas... so I've heard, but don't quote me on that... :lol:

(I think the posh git's in London had 3 pairs... :) )

Answers: well other machines can't...

Play Paula audio with the exact same same quality that the paula actually produces...
Display interlace screens with the same annoying flicker that I actually quite like...
Run 68k code without the use of an emulator of some kind...
Beat the Amiga's bootup time...
Run lots of progs on only 2meg of chip ram...
They don't do screen dragging...
Allow you to get involved in a mad bidding war on ebay to pay a crazy price for a decade old or more piece of kit...

and many other quirks of the Amiga too numerable to mention...:)

Beat the Amiga's bootup time...


You haven't seen MorphOS boot have you Franko? If you have to boot your Amiga from a hard drive (not just rely on ROMs) , I think we may have you beat.
The POST that the machine performs before booting takes longer than booting the OS.
In that fashion MOS is very Amiga like (small, efficient, and quick to boot).

Nope, your right their Iggy I haven't seen how quickly a MorphOS system boots. I can only speak for the couple of iMacs I've got and seeing other folk using PC's.

The iMacG4 can take anything upto 1minute 15 seconds to boot and this new iMacG5 I've got can take as long as 1minute 48 seconds and sometimes they take even longer to shut down, not exactly fast eh... :(

I just tested a warm reboot. From shut down to booted back up - 34 seconds.
This ain't OSX!

Btw - I must be spending too much time around the English and Scottish. Those mushy peas are digusting, but the bangers and mash are making me kind of hungry.

All this talk of food was making me feel hungry too, decided to have some nice steak pies for dinner... (no mushy peas... boak...)
What I don't get though is cooking instruction number 3. Encourage an even bake by rotating once during cooking...

I stood in front of the oven and turned around once like it said but they still  came out burnt on the one side...

...

I ended up with this...



Reckon next time I'll trying spinning around a few times, give a few cheers and a small round of applause and see if that helps... :)

(binned it & phoned for a nice home delivery Curry instead... :) )
