  1. don't use crappy charcoal or firelighters/lighting fuel as it will make the food taste bad for wood, charcoal and wood chips i buy from http://londonlogco.com the guy is based in Crystal palace and delivered to the area once a week. Also the butchery opposite sainsburys in forest hill also sells good stuff For most meat make sure the grill is hot and before you flip it over the first time make sure it's started to brown properly the meat will form a crust and it won't stick. after this flip often as it's the best way to get it to cook through without burning. I cook a lot of ribs, buy or make a dry rub and put on the ribs the night before, cook in the oven for a few hours on very low heat 100c you can then finish off on the bbq basting with something wet as you cook, i used apple juice and cider vinegar. it's a great way to cook for a lot of people with minimum effort
  2. Didn't ISIS expand rapidly by illegally putting cards up in phone boxes?
  3. Paris Princess Sports Direct iPrincess
  4. i always use HIFX been good so far
  5. To be fair Foxy, there's a lot of places on LL flogging decent stuff food wise but it's mainly on the mid-upper scale price wise i think we are pretty lucky with range, if only we had a decent asian supermarket like the one in Peckham i'd be happy. Non-food wise i never shop in LL
  6. I'd second Spiral, probably one of the best TV series ever. for comedy try Always sunny in Philadelphia, the US version of the office (both of these don't really get going to until series 2) and Community. a lot of people have recommended Sons of anarchy though i haven't had chance to watch it yet.
  7. it isn't turkish coffee they are selling there, it's just an automated coffee machine selling latte, americano etc. we tried it and it wasn't that great to be honest even by machine standards it was very weak. on the plus side this is the first time i've been in this shop in a long time, i really liked the previous owners and they always had good quality and interesting bits in there, but the new people seem to have ramped it all up a notch, theres a great selection of pastry/turkish bread type things in there and a lot of nice fruit and veg.
  8. So i'm the wrong side of 40 and pretty unfit, i have no interest in gyms or running but i do like football. I'm in no shape to play a match right now but would like to be I was wondering if anyone was in the same position and fancied meeting up and doing a bit of training, and if anyone on the forum is maybe a coach who could run something like this if everyone chipped in?
  9. the problem with all of these providers is the contention ratio from the local exchange, they will have a fast fibre connection into the exchange and then this is shared between however many subscribers they have in that location. so the more people who are downloading at one time the slower it gets. I think Virgin are the only supplier that don't piggy back off BTs fibre, I've found with a few of my clients that if they get a business broadband package rather than domestic, then the speed if tipped in the business connections favour, it only usual costs a few pounds a month more and you tend to get better technical support too, with BT you don't need a business to get a business package
  10. I'm assuming this is the rear entrance?
  11. Is it me you're looking for?
  12. Loving the vanilla equal opportunities policy, not sure my seven year old son is going to be descriminated against due to his marital status or pregnancy, Maybe when he's 8
  13. I'd allow about 10 hours plus crossing time for ferry or tunnel, I did it recently the motorways are really good but the tolls mount up
  14. It's terrible about that Titanic eh?
  15. I see the EDT have updated their jukebox Curl one out before you go go golden brown (texture like poo) Richard III The turdy song I bet pooh looks good on the gents floor
  16. The Sonos Play models which are a single speaker with the wireless receiver built in, you can use one of these as a mono zone. you can add a second unit and group both together at set them as a stereo pair. The other units in the range allow external speakers to be added either via the sonos internal amp or if you use the connect unit you can plug into surround sound or stereo amp. there is also the play bar which is designed to go under a TV additional speakers can be added to allow 5.1 surround I supply a lot of these units, not a big fan of the in built speaker units but are fine for minor rooms if quality isn't a real factor. great bits of kit very user friendly.
  17. Hi I have a two ring portable elctric hob you can borrow for the duration if you want
  18. I think penultimate would do what you need and the great thing is its link to evernote
  19. Scorsese films usually have very good soundtracks, Mean Streets being a favourite of mine Rushmore is great and I seem to remember Carlitos Way being good too
  20. We had real problems in our last flat a few things we did to reduce it were opening kitchen window even slightly when cooking helped a lot as the steam was drawn through to the cold outside. same with bathroom window when showering. bought a condenser tumble dryer. a dehumidifier helped a lot, it's worth reading article below about how they can actually save on your heating bills http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=638349
  21. American intelligence
  22. The resolution on the TiVo box may be set too low, there should be somewhere in the setup menu a way to change this. If tv I'd hd ready set it to 720p if it's full HD then 1080p there also maybe a setting for auto which will pick up your tvs highest resolution. If you leave the tv on and pull out the hdmi when the TiVo box is on, when you plug the hdmi back in most tvs flash up the resolution in the corner momentarily
  23. one other option does the VCR have aerial input and output? you could possibly connect an aerial cable from the aerial out to the TV (assuming it has a tuner) then retune the TV whilst a video is playing the VCR will then come up as a channel on the TV
  24. could be a couple of things dirty heads - use head cleaning tape adjust tracking on the VCR on the input settings of the TV there may be an option to change from RGB to PAL swap these around
  25. A one time client of ours called everyone, male or female 'darling' but he called his wife 'mate' they are not together any more
