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... :) )

Any questions?


Yes...

Do you know where I left my good pen (you know the silver one that always writes first time) I put it down somewhere and now I can't find It... :confused:

How about an modern Amiga in spirit and not just name, nobody seems to be working on that...

Verdict? I seriously considered putting my own eyes out. I'd even eat the mushy peas if I could renounce those images.

I'm not sure that would work. I'm pretty sure that's where mushy peas come from!

Ask Franko. But i'm pretty sure Yorkshire is somewhere up the kilt?

Anyway we could stay more on topic? I'm surprised that post of Kesa's didn't get us shut down like the fat lady thread.

My ideal new system to carry forward the Amiga concept?
I'm not sure it wouldn't be too different from an Xbox360.
Multicore PPC related processor.
GPU on the same die as the CPU (only with a more integrated approach than the current Xenon).
Obviously more memory and expandability (and a keyboard and mouse).
Modern genlocking and VIVO components and high quality audio would round it all out.

All with a big enough backer and large scale production, yeah 500 Euros might be possible.

This IS a family thread! Were you offended when Marilyn Monroe's skirt went up because of that air vent below? I think not. How is the above any different?     :confused:

I don't remember seeing Marilyn's rear or private parts. And I personal would have prefered that. Frankly, even though male, I find no particular beauty in male posteriors or genitalia.

Enough with the gay porn. Put some boobies on if you want though.

So for those people who said 'the future is dead' explain how the end will come.

Amiga is Betamax.

As far as the end goes, it'll dwindle as successive computer using generations come into their own. Right now there are people who have completed highschool who weren't even born whilst C= were still a going concern.

In a few years time they will be graduates. Whole generations who, outside of a tiny handful of geeks, will never hear about, much less use an Amiga.

@Archan RE the fpga stuff: They're much smaller than the original hardware less delicate due to age and if the minimig is anything to go by, cheaper than "original" hardware of a comparative spec. As for uses for one, excluding games?

Demoscene stuff.

/me goes back to lurking :)
