IPods are great. You have all your music in one place; they are
portable; you can play them through a speaker system indoors, saving
looking through - in our case - thousands of cd's; their data is
easily updated.

See, they make one, someone buys one :-)

I make chips for a treat for the kids by shallow frying them in
olive oil in a frying pan.
Deep fryers are good too. I have an ordinary one without a motor
and use olive oil in it.

A motor? What would one have a motor for? Do they now shake the
chips as well?

For music I use a CD player, a radio, or a guitar. For
amusement I either read the paper, do the difficult killer Su Doku
or go to the pub and take the p'ss out of solicitors and suchlike.
The latter is most fun.

Each to his own. As we all play a musical instrument in this house,
we make our own music a lot of the time. Can't understand why you
would want to take the piss our of anyone though. Life's too short
but if that's how you like to spend your time, it's up to you.

Some people watch other people having the piss taken out of them on
the telly. I don't have a telly :-)

The only electrical invention to which I have succumbed is the
slo-cooker which I can't believe I have done without for so long
... and it is easy to wash up as the cooky bit comes out. £20.
Bargain.

Waste of time, IMNSHO. Better to use a modern version of a hay-box -
no cost after heating up on the stove-top then transferring to the
box for several hours.

On our boat we have a pressure cooker, various pans and a GBP3
Canadian camping toaster.


Yes, but I would forget and leave it on the stove. I boiled the
kettle dry yesterday, wasn't half hot when I picked it up.

Give up frying chips in a pan whilst you are still alive :-)

Technology, schmecnology. And I'm a programmer.

I was a programmer in the '70's. Autocoder;Cobol;Plan. That was
when programming was exciting.

So was I, COBOL and PLAN too, when ICL as ICL :-)

Phoooe! I was a programmer ten years before you, Elliott 803 machine
code and then various assemblers.

But then you were already old when Engerland last won the World Cup!
