11:59.13LeedsHKevening all
12:00.49dick_turpinLeedsHK: Merry Christmas
12:01.03LeedsHKcan I confirm that the big news from the UK this week is that there was a (largely) bloodless coup by a dour Scotsman, there wasn't enough rain to stop Tim Henman being knocked out of Wimbledon again, and someone tried to blow the centre of London into lots of very small pieces?
12:01.14LeedsHKdick_turpin: it's National Day, not Christmas

15:55.47goibhni1shit that seadragon/photosynth stuff is impressive
16:01.43rhowehey, is anyone near chinatown?
16:03.40[Clive]Not presently
16:03.42[Clive]alas
16:04.04[Clive]My favourite restaurants are near there
16:04.47[Clive]New World and melati
16:09.26rhoweNew World is kinda pricey
16:09.38rhowebut they do have dim sum trolleys, which redeems them somewhat
16:10.22[Clive]My favourite dish is chilli and garlic crabs
16:11.27rhowemm, crabs
16:11.29boudiccas[Clive]; sounds painful
16:11.41[Clive]Nah
16:11.50[Clive]I like crustaceans
16:15.01boudiccasi reckon the best crabs that i've ever tasted were/are Cromer crabs from the town of the same name in North Norfolk
16:15.13[Clive]The melay/indonesian cuisine at melati is nice too
16:15.27*** join/#gllug AnneC (n=AnneC@cmarfw01.marlow.spinvox.com) [NETSPLIT VICTIM]
16:15.35[Clive]Yeah Cromer crabs are lovely
16:15.51boudiccasyou've had some! wonderful :)
16:15.59[Clive]It's sad that the Sunday fish stalls outside pubs have gone
16:16.28[Clive]I used to buy crabs regularly for sunday tea
16:16.50[Clive]my dad used to prepare the insides
16:17.12boudiccasthere used to be a fish stall on Norwich market that used to sell tasters of various fish and whelks and stuff on a Saturday morning. me and my kids used to love going down there before doing the shopping
16:17.12[Clive]and I cracked the claws and legs to get the white meat
16:17.34[Clive]I don't like whelks and winkles
16:18.02boudiccasi tried whelks once, never again. they're yuk. i used to like mackarel with salt and vinegar
16:18.06[Clive]But if I go to the seaside I always have a punnet of prawns on the piers
16:18.41[Clive]and I love satay prawns

16:19.15*** part/#gllug JohnDoe666 (n=JohnDoe6@p548704BA.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
16:19.45[Clive]i like lobster too
16:20.29boudiccasdon't like satay stuff, don't really like 'cooked' peanuts
16:20.55[Clive]I don't much like uncooked ones
16:21.06[Clive]i love pickled walnuts
16:21.07boudiccasthey're nice salted :)
16:21.14boudiccasyes, i agree
16:21.46[Clive]Other than that I don't really eat nuts
16:22.51[Clive]There's no fishmongers here anymore
16:22.51boudiccasi like sweet chestnuts, plain and roasted
16:23.13[Clive]Mmmm I like em roasted with salt
16:23.35[Clive]Like you get in bags in the west end
16:23.55boudiccasi don't know of one at all in Maidstone, in fact i don't remember seeing any fish here except in tins at the supermarket or swimming in the river
16:24.16boudiccasnever had them with salt, must try them sometime
16:24.24[Clive]there's not one in crayford, bexleyheath, or dartford
16:24.39[Clive]You can get dressed crab at Sainsburies
16:25.27boudiccasits a shame really, they were always interesting places to browse at and ask questions when i was a kid
16:25.57[Clive]i don't think I could dress a crab actually
16:26.00[Clive]I wish I'd learned
16:26.21boudiccascan you? never seen it or heard of it there. i could only do it after a quick phone call to my mum asking how to do it :)
16:27.09[Clive]Sainsburies do dressed cromer crabs
16:27.20[Clive]around 3.20 quid
16:27.52boudiccaswould be a nice treat :) i might do that when my boat comes in
16:28.14[Clive]Tecos used to do lobster thermidor in the expensive food range
16:28.59boudiccasnever had lobster thermidor [to the best of my knowledge]
16:29.12boudiccasi've got fish for tea! :)
16:29.15[Clive]I have exactly once
16:29.32boudiccassardines over rice with a tomato sauce
16:29.39[Clive]I've got prawn satay
16:29.44boudiccas:)
16:29.55[Clive]and some spring rolls
16:30.11boudiccashas the security situation in London calmed down somewhat now?
16:30.22[Clive]I doubt it
16:30.41[Clive]There's two big events in London tomorrow
16:30.47[Clive]Gay Pride in Soho
16:30.57[Clive]and the Diana memorial concert
16:30.59boudiccasi.e. transport flowing normally and people able to go about their normal business
16:31.11[Clive]I'm not working
16:31.18boudiccasand the following sunday its the tour de france
16:31.43[Clive]Last news cast said those areas were cordoned off
16:31.56boudiccasah, still a hiatus then
16:32.29[Clive]You'd expect a high security level anyway
16:33.07boudiccasits been high for over a year now
16:33.16[Clive]Pride always has a high police prescence
16:33.22boudiccasand i don't see it lessening in the near future
16:33.49[Clive]and security will be very tight tomorrow for the Diana Concert as the 2 princes will be there
16:34.02[Clive]and I think the new PM too
16:34.12boudiccassounds like apop group 'the 2 princes' :)
16:34.21[Clive]Lol
16:35.00boudiccasanyways, tea time :) nice to chat with you, catch you later
16:35.15[Clive]have a good tea
16:35.23[Clive]Nice to chat to you too

20:29.09clive-hHiya morsing
20:30.20clive-hI've no idea what those are boudiccas
20:31.34boudiccasclive-h; they're outline-type programs, where you store information in a tree-like format
20:31.55boudiccasclive-h; http://notecase.sourceforge.net/index.html ... if you're interested
20:32.18clive-hOh I see
20:32.51boudiccasI find them very useful for storing info rather than using post-it notes :)
20:33.04clive-hI've used stuff like that under DOS
20:33.42boudiccasthe linux versions are probably pretty similar

20:40.47morsingBeetles
20:41.08morsingIn my bedroom
20:41.14morsingTheyŕ're big as well
20:41.45morsingI can't figure is out but I can hear them at night
20:41.45boudiccasdon't they hatch from eggs?
20:42.02boudiccasperhaps they fly in when the windows are open
20:42.05morsingWell, maybe, theyy're everywhere when I get home from work
20:42.15morsingNope, they're identical
20:42.18morsingFrom the same batch
20:42.34morsingAnd I can hear them behind the wall
20:43.00boudiccasi've found some moths flying in through the boiler vent during the evening as the boiler is off for the summer
20:43.35boudiccasi'd be inclined to get a can of 'Raid' and spray them
20:45.38clive-hI once came home to find a bunch of wasps that had nested in the wall over winter
20:54.54morsingboudiccas: Well, yes, but they have/are all hatching somewhere
20:54.56morsing?
20:58.26boudiccaspresumably in the wall, so if you keep spraying them when you see them hopefully you'll get them before they mature into adults and lay their eggs
21:02.52morsingMmm... They look pretty adult to me
21:37.36goibhni1morsing: are they cockroaches?
21:37.49goibhni1We've got buckets of them here too
