I'm very lucky, and the postie often brings me all manner of yummy bits and bobs (he doesn't miss out – he's got a bit of a thing for blue cheese, which I'm not massively keen on, so he's often rewarded).
Here's the latest bunch of postal bounty that we've loved:
Abra-ca-debora pancakes made me my very own pancakes in time for Shrove Tuesday – isn't that amazing?
But pancakes aren't just for pancake day – these beauties are the perfect storecupboard ingredient all year round – fill them with creamy chicken and spinach, or roasted veggies in tomato sauce. Scrummy.
Steenbergs Organic were established in 2003 and are based in North Yorkshire. They sent me a fabulous selection of products from their amazing array of fairtrade and organic goodies. The spiced chai sugar is absolutely gorgeous, and the flavourings are incredibly good quality. Check out their website as I can't even begin to list all the stuff they sell.
We've been drinking a ridiculous amount of this delicious Villa Maria Gewürtraminer. It was on spesh at Majestic but is sadly back up to £9.99. I'll be watching out for the next time it's on offer.
Cawston Press brought out a range of 'grown up' fizzy drinks (just in time for my failed attempt at alcohol free January): the sparkling apple & rhubarb was my favourite, closely followed by the sparkling lemon and lime (which tasted sublime with a dash of gin).
Lovely Sophie at Mullion Cove makes traditional Cornish fairings. They're gorgeously soft and spicy, and the fig and ginger had us all fighting over the last one. Oh, and apparently the word 'fairing' comes from the fact they were sold at Cornish fairs and feasts and in Victorian times they were brought by a gentleman to give to his sweetheart as a love token!
French's have brought out some new products this year: our faves by far were the Jalapeno Tomato Relish and the Sweet Onion Relish (scrummy on hot dogs, but I've taken to putting it in toasted cheese sandwiches too). I'm not keen on mustard, but English Dad insists that the new Smooth & Spicy version of their original yellow mustard is fabulous too.
Elizabeth Shaw have brought out two new scrummy new flavoured bars: Pear and Almond and Blackberry and Ginger. We liked them both, but I would have liked to see larger chunks of nuts in the almond one that came across as slightly gritty. I was, I admit, in the minority in this view, though, and they were both scoffed in seconds.
Farmison Cheese
The lovely chaps at Farmison sent me an ENORMOUS British artisan cheese box. Really well packaged, with lots of ice packs to make sure the cheese stays in perfect condition, the selection was varied, interesting and creatively put together. The Caboc Highland Cheese, which is covered in oatmeal, I think, was especially delicious (just as well as there were two of those in the box), and my other favourite was a sharp, but still creamy Keens of Wincanton Traditional Cheddar. For blue lovers there's a hand-made Yorkshire Blue and a seriously strong Colston Bassett. The quince paste and water biscuits are delightful extras. The whole box would make an amazing present for any cheese lover.
Wagamama's new chilli, coriander and ginger dressing is fab on salads and in chicken wraps, but SUBLIME on avocados, mushed into rye toast. Don't question me, just do it. We also tried Nando's Smokey BBQ marinade which is lovely with chicken, sausages, ribs and any chunky white fish.
I think that's it. Go forth and get shopping!
Firstly, can I say that this review is about the online shopping experience and not about the iron – although this iron has given me so much entertainment, I've popped a little video at the end, just for you.
When Littlewoods asked me to give their online shop a go I was a tiny bit dubious. I think probably because I'm remembering the Littlewoods catalogues my Mum had when I was a kid. Now, happily, you can buy just about anything you could possibly want, and, although you can still do that thing where you pay for things weekly, you can also pay by credit card very easily. And now, with the addition of the gorgeous Myleene fronting their adverts (check out her lingerie collection, it's gorgeous), Littlewoods is fresh, modern, and just a little funky. Brand-wise I was really impressed: there's all the big guns like Coast, Lipsy and Ted Baker for the ladies and stuff like Superdry, Diesel and – my teenagers' favourite G-Star RAW for the fellas, as well as all the usual big household brands.
It also got the boys' vote for things like the ability to pre-order games such as Halo 4 and for good value gaming bundles too.
I purchased an iron (more of this later) and was able to pay, and chose a delivery time and date all within a couple of clicks. I was also sent tracking information and was kept up to date with emails. You can also reply to the emails to easily change the delivery date if it turns out it's not convenient after all.
Delivery was very smooth and there was no waiting – the van was waiting for me on my return from the school run on the date requested. Impressive.
All in all, I came away with a completely positive experience of shopping online with Littlewoods and will definitely be back (well, now I've got an account it would be rude not to) to do my Christmas shopping.
And the iron? It's great: it has a massive 300ml water tank, a huge 3 metre cord, and is heavy enough to feel substantial whilst not breaking your wrist every time you iron a shirt. The soleplate is pointy so it's easy to get in between buttons on school shirts and it gives a big, hefty shot of steam when you need it. There's just one downside:
It is, quite simply, the loudest iron in the world. Now I don't really care, as its strengths outweigh the single flaw, but if you routinely iron while you're watching TV, or with a sleeping baby in the room? Forget it. WHAT? I SAID FORGET IT!
Many thanks to Littlewoods.
So you know the feeling, you return from holiday, suffer the Gatwick Express, then the tube, then possibly a taxi too, finally open the front door and the first thing you can think of is a nice cup of tea. But the problem is that the milk you left in the fridge two weeks ago now resembles furry blue yoghurt.
During the summer, Tesco tested out a brilliant service at Gatwick Airport's north terminal: the Gatwick 'virtual store'. Customers could view a range of products by whizzing through some very flashy moving screens on large virtual 'fridges'. They could then scan the barcodes (iPhone or Android) to put goods into their online baskets, then book a home delivery and pay. With hour slots, you could practically predict that your shopping would arrive home at the same time as you. Here's a link to the video of the 'virtual store' in action:
Tesco let me have a dabble with their online app, available here, so I could see the technology in action. I'm not massively techno-fabulous so I enlisted the help of the Death Wish Dude (my first mistake). After an easy (and free) download, he set about roaming the house, randomly scanning barcodes, to see whether we could arrange an entire shop using just the barcode scanning.
The technology, though fabulous for when you get back from holiday, is also fabulous when you're stuck at home. Someone on Twitter asked me if you could scan goods as they run out throughout the week, and yes, you can. It remembers the goods in your online basket, ready for you to 'check out' at the end of the week. No more shopping lists stuck on the fridge.
The dude's verdict? Generally positive although it didn't recognise the barcode on Nutella and we noticed random things like if you want to re-order a box of Bud, you can't do it unless you kept the box as there are no barcodes on the bottles. Still, easily searched for on the search engine.
The delivery: spot on time, VERY friendly and helpful, took away all my plastic bags for recycling, gave me loads of tips about busy/quieter delivery times, and my order was perfect, not a single replacement.
A massive thank you to Tesco for letting me have a go with the app, and huge apologies for the randomness of my order which, thanks to my youngest son, included such delights as two massive jars of coffee ('what? It was buy one get one free.') a large amount of Double Deckers, and some David Beckham aftershave. I vote to make the service permanent at Gatwick too. I, for one, could do without furry blue tea after a week away.
Shopping for school shoes with your children is never easy, but as they become teenagers, it starts to become even harder as your fashion-conscious teen becomes keen to keep up with the latest trends.
While you are more concerned with adhering to the school's rules and finding comfortable, sensible shoes, your child will be more interested in choosing a pair that will impress their friends rather than result in them getting laughed at. It's important that you both reach a compromise and you must stay patient as you explain kindly why your daughter can't wear a pair of high-heeled, peep-toe, patent shoes to school. The last thing you want is a row in the middle of a busy shoe shop.
As well as helping your teenager to choose suitable shoes for school, it's also important to make sure you find a pair that fit well. As many as 70 per cent of foot problems are thought to be caused by badly fitting shoes and many of these issues arise during childhood. Take the time to get your child's feet professionally measured. Their feet will be growing all the time, so don't just assume they will be the same size that they were last year.
Even once you have found out what size your child needs, you will still need to get them to try on each pair of shoes because every design is different. Make sure your teen can comfortably wiggle their toes and ask them to walk around the shop to make sure that the shoes feel comfortable and don't cause any irritation or rubbing.
If the shoe feels too tight on one foot, try a larger size – it is far healthier to have a shoe for the slightly smaller foot than one that is too tight for the bigger foot. If you want to make sure your child's shoes will last throughout the school year, take a look at the heels and soles. If they appear to be very thin, it is likely that they will wear out quickly, so buy a pair with a thicker sole. Even if they are more expensive, it will save you the cost of having to buy a new pair in a few months' time. It is not worth risking ruining your teenager's feet to save a few pounds by buying cheap, ill-fitting shoes and you should never give them hand me downs either.
It's worth investing the time and money to find a good pair of shoes and even if you have to nag your teenager to wear them, they and their feet will thank you in years to come.
Read any self-respecting food blogger's posts and you'd be forgiven for thinking that the only things in our supermarket trolleys are stuff like truffle oil, organic this, free-range that, puy lentils and 90% dark chocolate.
Of course I'd love to tell you that's true, but the reality is that my teenagers hit the kitchen like a plague of locusts every evening after school and yes, I'm afraid they demand crisps, sliced bread, gallons of milk and digestives as well!
Now I'll be the first person to shout that our obsession with cheap food isn't always a good thing, but everyday staples have to be bought, and essentials like eggs and bread, and those after school bickies, really add up.
Handily, Tesco have now given us a way of voting with our keyboards and actually influencing the items that we all want to see added to their new price drop campaign. All you have to do is click on The New Price Drop on Facebook and you can really help to make a difference to the price of the food in your trolley.
Of course, I shall be demanding price drops on caviar and quail's eggs too. Worth a try, surely?
For more information on Tesco's New Price Drop, go to tesco.com/pricedrop.
One thing about being back in the same country together after our long period of job-enforced separation is that we can now go shopping together.
I'd kind of forgotten about this. I'd happily tootled around shops in Ireland (just happy to be there, frankly, after the epic journeys that necessitated getting to any decent shops), picking out just what I wanted and never thinking twice about it. Now there are several things about co-shopping that drive me insane:
The trolley
Before we've even got into the shop, we've started. I like a big trolley and I like to push it. I also like to bring my own bags (they're bigger and stronger and yes, more environmentally friendly). He favours trying to cram everything into one of those small granny trolleys and has no truck with bags hanging on the front ('they give you bags at the checkout, FFS'), so I have to hold them. And apparently (bag-free) trolley pushing is the man's job. Sexism: alive and well and living in Hertfordshire.
I know what I like. And I know what I don't like. I don't like shopping a deux and wish to be finished as soon as possible. Therefore I don't want to stand around and look at all the cheeses in the deli (we always buy Cheddar – what's the point?). Neither do I want to discuss the merits of wild vs farmed salmon at the fish counter (he doesn't like salmon so it's kind of pointless). The only time I like to dither is when I'm shopping alone in Waitrose – then I could spend hours. Fickle? Moi? I also like to tut loudly at those silly arses that stand in the middle of the aisle and chat, whilst blocking everything up with their trolleys. Want to chat? Sod off outside. Shops are for shopping. I'm thinking of writing to the supermarket bosses and suggesting a special 'dithering/gossiping' aisle, so the rest of us can bloody get on with it.
I will only buy free-range chicken. As the awesome Jimmy Doherty says in his book, A Taste of the Country, 'if the chicken you buy in your supermarket is not labelled free-range, I'm afraid you are responsible for terrible cruelty'. I can't have this on my conscience. The husband, however, cannot see the point in picking up a pack of two chicken breasts for £5, when there is a pack of four just below them for same price.
The chicken, being relatively near the front of the shop, causes us to bicker all the way round the store. We've kept chickens, I argue, and you know what intelligent and freedom-loving little chaps they are. He knows, he says, but somehow his wallet rules his brain…
Hence, every time he picks up biscuits (we don't need them – I can make my own), chooses Perroni over Budweiser, or adds ridiculous items such as Rice Krispie bars to the trolley, he is reminded that he'll spend money on that, but not on the welfare of a poor little innocent chook. It's all wrong. In return, of course, I get told off for buying fresh herbs 'in bags! Pointless' and arborio rice.
We're just speaking by the time we get to the dairy aisle, then it all goes pear shaped again. It has to be Yeo Valley. I'm sorry, but I can't be doing with that watery shite and I've a special affinity with the Valley of Yeo, seeing as I've visited a couple of times. The husband picks up Mullers. I put them back. Then we spot the big pots of Yeo Valley lemon curd and grab several. Marital bliss is resumed.
After relenting to his requests for the small trolley AND his insistence on being the one to push it, he then proceeds to do the worst stacking job in history… milk is rested on top of eggs and salad is squashed with beer. I tut and move things. He tuts about pickiness. There's a lot of tutting.
So by the time we've bickered all the way round, him dithering to look at things, me charging ahead tutting at the gossipers, got to the checkout where he's flirted outrageously with the woman behind the till (he's never that nice to me), and we've huffed out to the car with my 'ridiculous' bags… we end up driving home in silence.
So I'm afraid I've asked for a trial separation. Oh not permanently, just every time we need some shopping.
I just need to be on my own… to find out who I really am.
I hope you understand, Hubby, it's not you, it's me. I hope we can still be friends…
My lovely friend Lorraine runs the incredible website The Party Times. Here are her ten tips for a perfect family Christmas:
Christmas is a time when tiny lights shimmer in shop windows, gifts twinkle beneath the tree and the smell of decadent festive treats wafts from every home. Share the spirit of Christmas with family, friends or neighbours and enjoy a fun, festive and completely stress-free December with our top 10 Christmas tips
1. First impressions …
Welcome family and neighbours by lighting pathways with garden paper lanterns, LED light sticks and fairy lights wrapped round tree trunks or branches. Have guests met by a beautiful red berry wreath and windows decorated with 'Ho ho ho' stencils or stencils of snowmen, reindeers and Christmas trees using snow spray.
2. Sprucing up the tree …
A tree full of glistening lights and an array of colouful decorations heightens wonder and expectation around Christmas. Colourful fabric decorations and other beautiful pieces will stand out against dark green trees. Pick out timeless and unusual decorations with a nostalgic touch such as charming wooden decorations or for something unique, silver and red personalized baubles. Add a few edible chocolate treats and candy cane sticks; something the younger members of the family will love. Save any spare fir branches from the tree for napkin decorations or to add above the fireplace for a touch of nature. Look out for make your own angel kits or fabric heart decorations, a fun weekend activity to do with your children and a perfect creative accessory for the top of the tree.
3. 'Tis the season to be baking …
Cookies and biscuits are great additions to a family Christmas and children will love helping you make them. Look out for christmas cookie cutter sets that come in a variety of shapes such as star, reindeer, snowflake or Christmas tree designs. Store your baked treats in tins and hand them out to friends who drop by, served with a steaming mug of hot chocolate. Hang biscuits on the tree by piercing a hole and threading pretty ribbons through them or wrap them in cellophane, tie with curling ribbon and hand them out as end of term gifts.
Other wonderful festive treats include Christmas popcorn (caramelized and dusted with cinnamon) chocolate snowball truffles (coated in desiccated coconut) or chunks of gooey marshmallow-filled rocky road. Hand these out as end of term gifts or to family members, sealed in festive christmas party boxes.
4. A gingerbread house …
Create a Scandinavian fairytale gingerbread house, good enough to eat. Not only will it look and smell appealing, it will bring out the child inside of everyone. Get your children to help build and decorate it with you and you can put it in a windowsill lit up or use it as a table centerpiece, adorned with hundreds of sweets!
5. All dressed up …
Christmas themed tablecloths do all the 'dressing' aspect for you, there's so much colour in the print you just need to add a centerpiece to give it some dimension such as vintage santa themed tableware. But if you're opting for a more traditional table setting with plain red partyware, greens and whites then choose decorative cotten napkins, fun placemats and novelty place card holders. Fill bowls with colourful treats such as candy cane, peppermints and other shiny wrapped treats (Roses or Quality Streets).
Alternatively festive baubles in vases or cardboard cut-out reindeer centrepieces or sleigh and reindeers or Christmas trees. You can then arrange candles and nightlights at differing heights to create a dramatic and cosy atmosphere. Red crystal gemsand festive confetti scattered in blank spaces on the table will glisten and catch the light, evoking a sense of enchantment. And don't forget party poppers, chocolates and make-your-own party crackers – a few essentials that make a big difference.
6. Winter brews …
Hot chocolate ganache sticks stirred into mugs of warm milk are wonderful seasonal treats for the family. Then top your steamy brews with frothy cream or mini marshmallows – heaven on a cold wintry night. Yet nothing fills a house with festive aroma faster than mulled apple simmering on top of the stove. Children will love drinking this too (without the alcohol) and can help prepare the apples, studding them with cloves.
7. A flicker of an idea …
At this time of year everything seems to gleam so fill your house with lots of tiny lights such as green christmas fairy lights. Fairy lights play an essential part and can be draped from beams, twisted round staircases and hung around door frames for a winter sparkle. Rustic rattan reindeers nestled in a corner and wrapped with fairy lights look stunning and magical.Light your Yule log or homemade cupcakes with angel flames – candles with a party piece of their own! When lit their flames burn red, blue and green creating a magical effect that children will go crazy about!
Tie white LED illoom balloons (filled with helium) onto the backs of chairs using curling ribbon or tie them in clusters around the room.
8. Shop online …
Make life easy and buy your children's Christmas present online which will eliminate aimless shopping trips and mean you won't have troubles trying to hide their gifts whilst you're out shopping with them. Write a gift list and a budget before you shop online, otherwise you can get carried away.
9. Wrap, tie & tag …
Try to wrap all your gifts as far in advance as possible, this will make you feel more organized. Look out for Christmas tissue paper, perfect for wrapping stocking-fillers and use some red curling ribbon for a special touch. You can add ribbons, tags and bows later on, but label with sticky notes so you don't forget what's what. Chic satin ribbon can add colour to the simplest wrapping paper and can be used to tie around napkins or to hang decorations. Run out of gift tags? Cut up old Christmas cards into gift-size tags and use them instead.
10. Don't leave it to the last minute …
Brainstorm all the jobs you need to do in preparation for Christmas and put it up on your pinboard at home. Mark off the jobs as you do them and give yourself an extra day to get everything done. Think what food you can prepare in advance, (things like sauces, brandy butter etc), what you can freeze and try to avoid the supermarkets during the weekday evening rush and at weekends. It's always useful to update your address book, in preparation for sending out Christmas cards. You could always get your computer-savvy child to help you type out all the addresses to avoid having to use your scribbled out address book.
A few special touches …
Buy a few small things that will make your Christmas celebrations extra special. Things like edible green glitter trees will add sparkle and shimmer to cupcakes, biscuits and festive popcorn and children will love the magical element it brings. A pack of sky lanterns and a giant Christmas musical cracker game or snowball splatter game hidden away and brought out on Christmas day will add a special touch and if you don't use them they'll be perfect for New Year parties too. Shaped sugar lumps in fun festive shapes such as mistletoe, fir branch and pinecone are thoughtful additions for after-dinner coffee and guests will love them (visit Cox & Cox).
Last but not least …
Fill gorgeous mini fabric party cones with little surprises as going home gifts (they work well as a room decoration too) and can be kept to keep little gifts such as jewellery and toys inside. Hang the party cones between two fixtures or above the fireplace. Can also be saved and used year after year.
Enniskillen today, then. Our once a month trip up North to replenish the cupboards and restock the freezer usually begins with a very fast drive-by of the school, pushing #2 out randomly by the school gate and shouting 'bye!' before performing a nifty handbrake turn and hightailing it up to the North.
RANDOM FACT: I have been stopped for speeding three times since we moved to Ireland. The last time (erm… yesterday) I was doing 117 kph in a 100 kph limit. This is patently not my fault as I just don't think in kilometres per hour. I'm not hard-wired for it. In the same way that I'm not hard wired for adding up, dividing or taking away, working out exchange rates or changing pounds into grams. Sorry. It's just my biology. I blame my mother. Anyway, when I'd explained all this (at considerable length) to the very large, impatient-looking Garda standing at my car window holding the speed gun, he sighed, muttered 'well just slow down anyway' and walked back to his squad car. Hubby is disgusted that I got 'let off! Again!' as the last time he got stopped for speeding he was doing 117kph too and he got an €80 fine. He still starts muttering under his breath (something about 'blonde' and 'cleavage' and 'fluttering eyelashes') every time anyone mentions it. Men – they're so bitter.
So where was I? Oh yeah. Cue the 'Catch the Pigeon' music and here's how our shopping expeditions go:
So not stressful at all, then, really.
It occurred to me recently that I've loved so much stuff lately that I really should share it all with you. There's been pictures I've really enjoyed… new blogs I've visited… websites I've loved… competitions I wished I had time to enter… you name it. So here, for your delectation, and with apologies to Nutty Cow, who did this first, and better, is all that is wondrous about the internet this week. Enjoy.
Stuff to read:
DBM's wonderful book review. If this doesn't make you want to rush out and buy this book, I'm a monkey's uncle (apologies to my nephews and nieces there, only joking x). And yes, I know little Bugs is my cousin, but bloody hell she writes so effortlessly, doesn't she? I'm feeling seriously inadequate. I'm going to take this book to Walt Disney World (did I mention I'm going to Florida??)
Baino's lovely 'Mummy Meme'. I've been tagged for this one and really must get round to writing it, but Baino sums up everything that's wondrous (and horrible) about being a Mum. I just loved it.
On the same theme, K8 the GR8′s lovely piece. If answer no 2 doesn't melt your heart, you're that rock bloke out of that film with the man who bursts into flames and that fella who used to be in Nip/Cut. What the hell was that called? Anyway, you're him.
Laura runs into an ageing serial killer in the supermarket. No, really.
Brighid's Easter egg hunt was surely the weirdest I've ever heard of. I laughed out loud.
Blogs to visit:
A whole blog about chocolate. Seriously. I visit there just to drool on my keyboard sometimes.
Canelle et Vanille. Possibly the prettiest food photography ever.
Gorgeous photos:
The photos on Lors' fabulous Italian Foodies website. Definitely the most beautiful blog on t'internet.
Coastal Aussie's beautiful dingo, Taj, pretending to be a lion. In fact, check out all Aussie's amazing photography.
Things to do:
Enter the competition at allrecipes.co.uk. It's called 'Share your secrets to win £500′. Submit an original recipe and photo for the chance to win. The winner will be decided by the recipe that has the most reviews on the closing date of 15 May. And yes, of course I'm going to enter. Just as soon as I have a spare second.
And then there's shopping:
The fab teenage t-shirts at Cool Green Attitude (ethical and organic too).
Le Creuset's new white glossy cast iron collection. Droooool.
Oh and I wish I could afford one of these delicious Orla Kiely bags to take with me to Florida (did I mention I'm going to Florida?). I'd like the pink one, please, Fairy Godmother.
Oh, and finally I thought you'd like to see this: the view out of my kitchen window as I was cooking Sunday lunch. A sunny day, a comfy spot and a friend to hug, eh? Who could ask for more (oh and check out the sparkly new birthday trainers. That won't last).
Oh and did I mention I'm going to Walt Disney World? Oh, right. Sorry.
Shopping today, then. And it struck me that so many of the things that really make my day certainly aren't of the Gucci handbag/Jimmy Choo variety. Here's today's list:
Just little things, but I'm as happy as a pig in poo. Oh, and filling up the marshmallow pot for those hot chocky moments:
And you can keep your Jimmy Choos – I'm far too discombobulated to walk in heels anyhoo. How about you, then? Any simple pleasures?
So you'll like this. I'm bored of the Friday photo. I'm always hunting around for something interesting to happen, and then when it does, it's Saturday, and by the time Friday comes around again, I'm wondering if it's not really so interesting after all.
So anyhoo. I've just been shopping. Yup, up to Enniskillen – naughty, I know, not supporting the Euro and all that, but I only go once a month, honest, hofficer. The rest of the time I drive miles to pay double for less choice. And I thought how nice my fridge looked, all full up with goodies. So I thought I'd show you. And guess what? Next week it's your turn. A description and a lubly photo of your fridge, please. And we'll carry it on until we run out of photos, or get bored, or er…. well, you get my drift. Off you go, then.
Oh, and just in case you don't fancy looking at my fridge, here's a snow angel, competently demonstrated by #2 ('y'see, Mum? You have to kind of flap yer arms and legs'. 'Okay, darling, I promise I'll come and have a go in a minute').
So for some reason #1 has a random day off school. This is a bugger as I have quite a bit to get done and, not trusting him to stay at home (he could well burn the house down) I decide it's safer to take him with me. My first mistake. On the way there, we have a very in-depth chat about global warming, the methane produced by Ireland's dairy herds, how Johnny Gatillo is, like, the wickedest greyhound EVER (apart from Bert, obviously), why Razldazl Billy dropped dead, why Eric Clapton's such a legend, and I explain, yet again, why he doesn't actually have to drink the wine we've laid down for his 18th birthday all on the actual day.
We decide to split up initially, then to regroup an hour later in the game shop. This is my second mistake. When I find him, he is standing playing an X-Box game in the corner of the shop:
The Game Shop
Me: Well, have you decided what game you want?
#1: Yes, I want this Star Wars one
Me: It's a 16. You'd better phone the boss.
There follows a long, tedious phone call and even longer rambling explanation to his father about what the man behind the counter said about why it's got a 16 rating and why it's totally, like, random as it's only the same amount of violence as the film, y'know, like light sabers and stuff… While this conversation is going on, I stand imagining the look on Hubby's face (and those of his colleagues) as he interrupts his meeting in Knock to have a one-sided conflab with a thirteen year old on the amount of violence, fake-blood and flying body parts in a Wii game.
#1: Dad says yes if it's ok with you
Me: Okay then, let's get to the till.
#1 (lingering by the PC games): Or there's this Spore one I quite like…
[Half hour pause while #1, who has obviously befriended the spotty lad behind the till, has a protracted chat with him about the merits of Spore versus the merits of the new Star Wars one]
#1: Nah, I'm deffo going Star Wars. Erm…. yes. No. I definitely am.
Me: Thank Christ. Quick, pay before you change your mind.
The Guitar Shop
(via McDonalds where he woofs down a Big Mac, large fries, large coke and an extra cheeseburger, burps and stands up to leave before I've even touched my lunch). I have orders to buy four new sets of electric guitar strings and two plectrums:
#1: Ooh they've still got that savage French electric guitar in the sale [flutters eyelashes hopefully]
Me: No.
#1: It's a bargain…
Me: No.
#1: Look how cute I am when I beg. And you have a credit card… I know you do…
Me: No.
#1: Can I have a plec in the shape of a skull, then?
Me: Yes, if we can go.
#1: Done. Ooh, and I'll have this one in the shape of an alien too…
The Shoe Repair Shop
We have to get him a back door key cut in the shoe repair place. #1′s eyes light up in wonder at the sparks coming off the key. He fiddles with the plastic key covers on the counter, knocking them everywhere:
#1: Oooooooh, deadly! Can I have a green plastic thingy on my key?
Me: No
#1: Oh go on
Me: NO!
#1: Plllleeeeeeeease???
Me: NO!!!!!
Man behind the counter when passing over the key, taking pity on me: Here you are, you can have the green thing for nothing.
#1: Serious? Wow that's savage! Thanks!
Finally, we're off to Specsavers where I've still failed to choose the new glasses I need. #1 rushes around sporting an enormous pair of Terry Wogan frames, fetching every ridiculous pink, spotty, stripy and violent green pair he can possibly get his hands on for me to try on, before getting bored and playing with the machine that takes your photo to help you choose glasses to suit you. I give up trying to find glasses and my last glimpse as we exit the shop is seven different views of my son's ugly mug gurning out of the photo machine. On the escalators back up to the car park he has a violent fit of the giggles because the lady in front has a hairnet over her pony tail which apparently makes it look just like a willy. Everyone turns to stare at us. On the drive home I am treated to a précis of the combined plot of every one of Garth Nix's Morrowdays books, an insight into how much he's going to earn when he's a fighter pilot, how he's going to work in the game shop in the holidays to earn extra money, and reminded of the story of how Obi Wan Kenobi first gave Luke a light sabre and how he cut off C3PO's head with it.
We get home. He goes off to play his new game. I go for a lie down.
Ooh, I love post. One advantage to living here is the extra excitement that builds on the walk down the drive to the postbox. Nobody in Ireland seems to have a letterbox in their front door. They all have a lovely little tin box thing on the front gate that you have to open with a key. A key! Hubby hates post because he gets all the bills and crap, so I get the special job of walking down and emptying the post box. Sometimes it's even a parcel. I reallylove a parcel. I must be the only 38 year old woman who still gets excited opening her pressies on her birthday (and I got some right corkers this year). I am also lucky to have incredibly thoughtful parents. Me Ma sends little cards and letters (often with a very welcome €10 for the boys) and The Disreputable One will often send jokes and stuff to the boys, and cut clippings out of the newspaper about things that he thinks will interest me. A recent photocopy of an article about censorship in Ireland being a good example: did you know that as late as 1967 (when the Censorship ofPublications Act was finally reformed) Ireland had probably the toughest censorship laws in the 'free' world? And did you also know that the list of authors whose books were banned by the Irish Censorship of Publications Board included Hemingway, Steinbeck, Shaw and even Raymond Chandler (my goodness, how did the people of Ireland live without Philip Marlowe?)? Anyhoo, digressing. The point is that my Disreputable Dad knew instantly that I'd like it, and was kind enough to stick it in the post. Ripping it open and reading it as I wound my way back up the drive absolutely made my morning – like a little chat with the aul' boy even though he's not here.
One downside of this love of parcels is a serious Ebay addiction that knows no bounds. This, though, combined with the memory of a goldfish, means that I'm permanently pleasantly surprised by my purchases. I've been trying to cut back, as you know, but this morning even our seriously overworked Postie had to admit defeat and leave one of those little yokes in the box that means you have to pop to the Post Office and pick up your bulky items (I love those too).
Four parcels offered up such wonders as 'The Water Boy' DVD (LOVE that film: 'Youuu can doooo it!'), a DVD of the original 'Italian Job' which I really want the boys to see ('you were aownly suppaowsed to blaow the blardy doors off!'), a copy of Helena Frith Powell's 'Two Lipsticks and a Lover' which I've wanted for ages (I just really need to learn the secrets of Parisian women), and the pièce de résistance: a signed copy of Nigel Slater's 'Eating for England'. I just love a deliciously new pile of books by the side of my bed. And you can almost guarantee that by the time the pile's back down to two or three, the 'To Do' list in my phone will have another huge list of books and films that I've read about, or been recommended, or just remembered that I liked, and after a couple of glasses of Merlot and a lubly Ebay session, the little tin box at the end of the drive will be full again. Bliss.

There's quite a few new things going on:
We're back a the farmers markets. The first few weeks have been pretty disorganized, but last week, we started getting things a bit more under control and more variety at the markets. For right now, we are focusing on having a subset of the usual bake schedule at the markets. Check our bread schedule, and you will be able to find most of the breads we normally have at the bakery at the market. We have been limiting the pastries to just cookies, but I've been getting a lot of requests for scones, so I might bring a few of them to Saturday's Marquette market.
We added a new cookie to our daily lineup. It's a Snickerdoodle, and not being able to leave the traditional recipe alone, we added cardamom to the dough. It gives them a bit of a peppery punch. I love them and hope you will too. As always, feel free to give us your opinion.
This Thursday is the last Thursday of the month, so we will be baking Cornish Saffron Buns again. We'll have them out early — around 7:30am. The quantity will be limited, so call us to reserve some if you have a large order or want to pick them up late in the day.
In other new, we bought our first new piece of baking equipment — a mixer. We've been overloading our first mixer — a wonderful circa de 1950 Hobart we got from the Munising Bakery when it closed. The new one uses a completely different mixing technology, and I love the doughs that are coming out of it. It's much more gentle so we see the biggest difference on the delicate doughs like rye and spelt.
That brings us to our latest project. We are starting to work with whole spelt — an ancestor of wheat that many people who have wheat intolerance find less problematic. We made a test run with it today, and I am not happy with the results — too heavy. Maybe there's no way around that when working with whole grain spelt. It does have a nice flavor for being whole grain. I will continue to work with it and let you know when I have something I'm ready to sell. In the mean time, if you have any interest, you can try our experiments.

Granlund scores pair; Russia dumps Slovaks
CIVIC CENTRE - Finland defeated Latvia 5-1, but must still beat Slovakia on New Years Eve to qualify for the quarterfinal. Latvia goes to the relegation round.Finland Latvia 5-1 (2-0, 3-1, 0-0)The big question before the game was whether Finlands forwards would finally start to generate some serious offence. The Finns had only scored three goals in their first two games, both losses (3-1 versus Sweden, 5-2 versus Russia). This was Finlands first win at the 2009 IIHF World Junior Championship.The reply came only two minutes into the game (on a power play) when Teemu Hartikainen dropped a pass to Tomi Sallinen, who flipped the puck past Latvian keeper Nauris Enkuzens.Nestori Lahde, parked at the doorstep, doubled the lead twelve minutes later after receiving a cross-pass from Niclas Lucenius. The good start allowed Finland the luxury of missing a penalty shot with two minutes left in the opening period. Antti Roppo shot a backhander over the crossbar.Roppo redeemed himself midway through the second period by notching the 5-0 goal. By then, Finland had basically put the game away after a pair of goals from Mikael Granlund.Finland outshot Latvia 56-18.The biggest cheer of the evening from the 9,376 fans came after Latvias only goal, 14 minutes into the middle stanza, when Roberts Jekimovs connected with a two-man advantage. That period featured some chippy elements, and saw Latvias Vitalijs Pavlovs receiving a game misconduct for kneeing.For the Finns, the game was just the first step towards securing third place and a spot in the quarter-finals. They must defeat Slovakia on New Years Eve. A win in OT or shoot-out will get it done, as both teams have three points each (1W-2L). Finland has never been involved in relegation struggles in the World Juniors.The Latvians will now head to the relegation round. As they will not carry over any points, the Latvians will most likely have to win both their relegation round games, against Germany and most probably Kazakhstan. They will open their quest to remain in the top division on January 2. Latvia was in the same position two years ago in Vancouver, where their lone relegation round win versus Norway was not enough.The top two teams in that round will retain elite status and take part in the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship in Saskatoon and Regina.NOTES: This was the first time the two teams have met in the IIHF World Junior Championship. Finland gave goalie Harri Säteri a rest and backup Juha Metsola played in his first game of the championship.Russia - Slovakia 8-1 (2-1, 4-0, 2-0)CIVIC CENTRE - With an 8-1 thrashing of Slovakia on Tuesday, Russia set up a New Years Eve showdown with Sweden for top spot in Group B. The Russians have won three straight games, while Slovakia has a win and two losses.The Slovaks will face Finland on New Years Eve, which will determine the last Group B team to advance to the Playoff Round.Captain Nikita Filatov led the way for Russia with a hat trick and an assist, while Sergei Andronov had a goal and three assists. Maxim Goncharov scored two goals, and Igor Golovkov and Sergei Korostin had singles. Maxim Chudinov also racked up three assists."We've been playing better and better, and now the team is ready for Sweden," said Filatov.Adam Bezak scored for Slovakia.Russias Vadim Zhelobnyuk got his first start in goal of the tournament. Overall, Russia outshot Slovakia 31-27.There was plenty of skating and puck movement but very little hitting in front of the crowd of 9,149, and that suited the Russians just fine.Filatov was visibly Russias most dangerous forward. To kickstart the offence, the Russian captain rang a backhand off the crossbar and, seconds later, raced in and put another backhand through Slovakian goalie Zdenko Kotvans legs for a 1-0 lead at 2:12. Filatov had two more exciting solo rushes in the period, including one that knocked the goalies mask off as he crashed the net.The Slovaks had a fine opportunity on a 2-on-1 rush in the eighth minute, but Russian defenceman Mikhail Pashnin played it perfectly, toppling Ondrej Rusnak before he could shoot.Slovakia tied the game at 13:12 when Bezaks wrister from the sideboards floated over Zhelobnyuks left shoulder.With 1:26 left in the first, Russia went up 2-1 on the power play when Goncharovs blueline drive through traffic went through Kotvans legs.The Russians blew the game open with four goals in the second period. Yet another Goncharov shot from the blueline made it 3-1 just over a minute in. Next, working another man advantage, Andronov sent a beautiful feed from behind the goal line to Filatov, who one-timed it from the slot past Kotvans right skate at 4:29.Igor Golovkovs rising slapper beat Kotvan on the stick side at 8:32 of the second to give Russia a 5-1 lead. That was it for the Slovak goalie, who was replaced by Jaroslav Janus.Swapping netminders didnt prove to be a momentum-changer. Filatov completed the hat trick halfway through the game on a great lateral feed from Andronov. The power play goal was reviewed due to potential interference on Janus, but it stood.When Filatov was asked afterwards whether he realized that his three goals temporarily tied him with Canada's John Tavares for the tournament goal-scoring lead (five), he replied: "No, I don't care about scoring."The teams skated out an uneventful third period, with Andronov and Korostin adding late goals to round out the scoring."This has been a good group for us," said Filatov. "We've had relatively easy games."In the previous World Junior meeting between these two countries, Russia won 6-2 in Kelowna, British Columbia on December 28, 2006.LUCAS AYKROYD

How To Donate A Car Home Page
How To Donate a Car
Those seeking information regarding how to donate a car are met with options that can be difficult to discern. There are organizations that facilitate the transactions between private parties and charity organizations, and there are thousands of non-profits that will gladly accept your donation. However, throughout the process, the importance of documentation cannot be stressed enough, as the IRS is tightening tax credit restrictions annually. To donate a car properly, be sure to research all of documentation that the IRS requires before you begin the process, and you'll find that this very rewarding act benefits all parties involved. Understanding the options, organizational procedures, and tax codes will prevent any unexpected delays or nullifications of your tax claim when April 15th rolls around.
Where to Turn to Donate a Car
There are several databases on the internet that can give you factual information regarding thousands of non-profit organizations that accept donated vehicles. When turning to these resources, be sure to research the credibility of the organization. Once you have an understanding of your options, the choice is yours. Who would you like to help? Are there any organizations that you genuinely believe in the cause? The donation is yours to give, so feel free to select groups that help in ways that you respect and agree with. Now that you understand the group you'd like to donate a car to, begin researching the organizational procedures. Do they have a track record of coming up short on detailed paperwork? If so, find another beneficiary. By considering these topics throughout the process, you'll have the best experience possible when looking to donate a car.
What You'll Need to Donate a Car and Get Proper Tax Credits
The paperwork involved to donate a car can be a bit dizzying if you aren't acquainted with what the IRS is expecting you to have, and what you are eligible to claim once the donation is made. First and most importantly, you should visit the IRS online and download any important forms that you'll need. Be sure that you get everything they require as you are making the donation. Any slip up here can cause you to lose your tax credit. Once you understand what's required, it's time to consider how the process will go. There is 30 day window to get all the documentation from the charity, including the car's value (which you can research yourself), the gross sale amount, or what the car will be used for. How do these things affect you? Well, if your car is valued at a market price above $500, you can only claim the gross monetary gain that the charity received upon sale. Should they decide to utilize the automobile for operational needs, which they sometimes will, you will get fair market value (consult Kelley Blue Book, for example) for your donation. In either situation, documentation from the charity is very important, and any misstep here can cost you the entire tax claim.
By paying close attention to the requirements and necessities to donate a car, you'll ensure that everything goes off without a hitch. The benefits will resonate exactly where you intended: those in need and your tax situation. Whatever your motivation for donating, the certification of a reputable charity hinges directly on the amount of research you put in. Always keep in mind that just because a vehicle doesn't run, it still has value. Most non-profit groups are in desperate need of aid, and every donation helps, no matter how small. Consult with the IRS online resources, visit a facilitating website, and get proper documentation from the benefitting charity, and your old car will become a life-saver for someone that needs a helping hand.
Rest assured, when you decide to donate a car it will be welcomed by a charity and help worthy causes.

I play one or two games that use the Unreal 3 engine and they look stunning on the highest GFX setting. I have a £1200 gaming rig (It was that much a year ago, hehe) Intel Core i7 920, 6GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770 and expected to be able to play Bulletstorm on Medium specs at the very least.
Turns out anything higher than "Low" on 0x AA and VSync off causes choppy gameplay. What's up with that? It wasn't any of the issues posted here so I went and contacted EA support and their support rep told me that my PC didn't meet the "best configuration" which was essentially the specs on the back of the box. Specs that were LOWER than mine. he said the game runs best on a Windows experience rating of 4.2 and as I am a 5.9, he told me I needed to match the recommended specs.
I told him that couldn't possibly be right and quoted the back of the box that says better performance may occur on better PC's and he said he needed to escalate the issue (totally bottled it!).
I know this isn't Epic Game's support I'm talking about here but as they are listed as the official Bulletstorm support I guess I'd want to hear your reaction or any tips YOU guys might have)
EDIT: Oh and I may as well add that ever since EA have suggested a few fixes to me, I can't Alt-tab from the game because it just crashes.

Product Type: Maclaren prams, pushchairs and strollers
Newest Review: ... the maclaren brand as a mum favourite, and to be honest I opted for the Triumph as it is the cheapest in the maclaren family, and ... more
Another Triumph by Maclaren
Maclaren Triumph
Member Name: jensterc
Maclaren Triumph
Date: 02/03/09
Advantages: Lightweight, portable buggy
Disadvantages: Strange recline function, no foot rest
After having spent a small fortune on my Phil & Ted's double pushchair, when my older daughter reached an age when she was able to walk the majority of the time I began looking for a relatively inexpensive small lightweight pushchair for my younger daughter.
She was about 5 months old at the time so i didn't need anything that fully reclined so after doing a bit of online research I decided upon the Maclaren Triumph. It is one of the lower range Maclaren's and I it was on offer at Mothercare when I purchased it selling at £79 however i believe it normally retails at £110. I would suggest you hunt around to find it discounted as I do belive that £110 is a little steep for this pushchair. I went for it as i never really intended it to be used as my main pushchair, i thought i'd just be using it on holiday and for weekends away....how wrong was i? After pushing round a hefty double for the last year, I fell in love with this lightweight little buggy, it was a real treat to be able to just chuck it in the car and not have to worry whether i would get through door frames that i began to use it more and more.
I am really pleased with the purchase although I think if I had known how much i would use this backup pushchair I would perhaps gone up the range a little to the next model (The Quest) as the Triumph does not have a footrest which i think would make it much more comfortable. My youngest is now 16months and when she does sleep in the buggy, her legs are just hanging down . Also the recline function on the Triumph is a little strange, you use an adjustable strap and clip which does take a little while to get used to. As the Triumph is so incredibly light, weighing only 5.kg, you can't hang a great deal off the handles or it will tip over and I've lost count of the number of times that this has happened after taking my little girl out of the seat.
The buggy has a small shopping basket underneath however it is quite difficult to access it if the pushchair is in the recline position. The Maclaren umbrella fold means that the buggy collapses in a really portable and compact way and the Triumph even has a carrying strap making it great for holidays and travel.
All in all I am completely chuffed with the pushchair, I love it but my only regret is that had i know how much it would have been used, i would have upgraded to the Quest.
Summary: Great lightweight pushchair

My girlfriend and I went here for our last night in Barcelona - originally first for drinks, but decided after cocktails that we would stay for dinner as well. We left the place a few hours later thinking - what a mistake! First of all, the place itself has great potential, nice seating area, interior from the 50's and air... More
We popped in for a final cocktail on the last night of our holiday (Thursday) and drank a deliciously naughty Cava cocktail and a perky Ginger Pimms in this dark and sultry bar.

Ginger was a great place to have "modern" style tapas with a great selection of cocktails and interesting wine list. Highly recommended for a great night out
Lovely little out of the way cocktail bar. Little quirky building, cocktails are fantastic. Been here many times. Never eaten as always come for drink only but the food looks great! Absolute must visit!!
Didn't eat here (but the food did smell amazing!), but having come across it the drink we popped in for turned into several. Great atmosphere and real gem. Tucked away near Jaume but do go seek it out as definitely worth a visit.
Admittedly it was very quiet when we went in which was suprising as it was Easter and most places were heaving. Maybe that was a clue. The owner, as many have pointed out is English, having been in Barca 25 years. Some people found her rude. We didn't but she wasn't charm personified. The service was OK. We wanted a... More
After the disappointing main stream tapas restaurants this was a real find, great food, pleasant surroundings, friendly service.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"This easy-to-make meat sauce is so much better than anything you'll get out of a jar . . . and it's ready to toss with hot cooked linguine in just 45 minutes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, minced
4 large carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1 (16 ounce) package linguine, cooked and drained
Grated Parmesan cheese
This recipe was good and easy to make, but I would definitely only use maybe 2 carrots next time... this was VERY carroty. It also needed a lot of doctoring up with spices. I will definitely be making this again!
This is very bland. I would omit at least half of the carrots and toss in some roasted red peppers ad maybe some bacon or presciutto. Needs more moisture to, double the tomatos. Add beef broth in place of the water.
6 Ratings
I made this recipe as is and my boyfriend and I thought it was wonderful. You really felt healthier eating this as opposed to a rich bolognese. And I served it with whole wheat linguine...super healthy!
Very good. I added beef stock in place of water and i didn't have basil so i used italian seasoning, parsley, and thyme. I also put in half of what the recipes said for carrots. and i added roasted red pepper. turned out very good
very quick simple and the kids love it!
A good solution for days when you don't know what to make. Uses things I normally have in the pantry. Quick and easy. A little bland. Used less carrots than called for.

Jamaica entered the finals of the Regional Four-Day Competition by beating Guyana by 133 runs in three days at Sabina Park. They took control of the game after the first day, on which they were dismissed for 196 after choosing to bat. Donovan Pagon and Tamar Lambert scored half-centuries but Jamaica collapsed from 131 for 3, losing seven wickets for 65 runs. Three Guyana spinners - Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo and Narsingh Deonarine - took three wickets each.
Guyana, however, were shot out for 126 in their first innings, conceding a lead of 70. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, unbeaten on 47, was the only batsman to pass 20. Nikita Miller claimed 3 for 16 for Jamaica, while David Bernard took 3 for 35. Jamaica could not improve on their first-innings performance in their second, though, getting dismissed for 189. Bishoo took 5 for 62, and Permaul added three more to his match haul. Xavier Marshall top scored for Jamaica this time with 59. Their lead, however, ensured Guyana would have to make the highest total of the match to reach the finals.
Chasing 260, Guyana were dismissed for 126 once again. Miller took 4 for 28, and Odean Brown had figures of 3 for 42 for Jamaica, ensuring the match did not enter the fourth day.
Sulieman Benn took 9 for 63 in the match to help bowl Barbados into the final with a 227-run victory against Trinidad & Tobago at Queen's Park Oval. Having chosen to bat, Barbados made only 223 in the first innings. Most of the top-order batsmen got starts but nobody carried on, and Jonathan Carter's 47 was the top score. Ravi Rampaul and Kavesh Kantasingh took four wickets each for T&T.
The Barbados bowlers, however, gave their side a huge lead by dismissing T&T for 84. Benn bowled with the new ball and took 5 for 28, while Carlos Brathwaite had figures of 4 for 12. T&T were 63 for 3 at one stage and then lost seven wickets for 21 runs.
Barbados made 216 in their second innings, setting a target of 356. Carter once again top scored with 52, and Brathwaite followed his success with the ball by making an unbeaten 45. Shannon Gabriel was T&T's best bowler, taking 5 for 78.
The target was always likely to be out of T&T's reach and they fell massively short. They collapsed once again, from 79 for 2, and were dismissed for 128. Benn took 4 for 35 in this innings; Javon Scantlebury-Searles contributed 3 for 22.

Hello this is MidnightTofu.
I'm shutting down my EXO artblog from today onwards because people refuse to follow the simple rule of not re-posting and re-editing.
I've recently found my art (including the ones from my NSFW sideblog) posted on forums, printed on T-shirts without permission, sold as mini prints and I'm just extremely unhappy about it.
I'm all for sharing art and all that jazz but I think some people in this fandom don't realize I'm drawing a genre that's not exactly widely accepted OUTSIDE OF TUMBLR. Not to mention, EXO are real people and it would be extremely awkward if they saw my stuff.
I've seen many artists take down their artworks and shutting down their website because of ignorant people's inability to follow simple rules and I never would have imagined to be one of them. It was extremely hard for me to delete everything of this blog and stop drawing Kaisoo.
Please stop bothering the other exo fanartists about me.
Also, thank you for those who DID reblogged and enjoyed my artwork!! For those who ordered my prints, I've sent out ALL ORDERS and if you didn't received yours yet, just drop me an email!
Goodbye ^^

1080p fix needs some fixing? |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Dashboard, Major Nelson, Microsoft, VGA
If we're going to have to make a list of every complaint made since the 1080p fix, we're not going to get this article out in time. Let's just say Major Nelson's blog post about the 1080p fix is swamped with complaints, and it's gotten so overwhelming that the Major has passed all comments and concerns over to the Dashboard team. There are also a few running threads on the the same topic in the official Xbox forums.
Jump to the Digg about this topic, and it mentions the Ring of Death, VGA adapter malfunctions, and Microsoft not acknowledging the issue and billing US$ 140 for repairs (you do know that the Major said that the 1080p is a WORLDWIDE release, eh?), although the "not acknowledging the issue" part would be out the window if the Dash team's looking into it, as the Major points out. (Billing for repairs are something else, though).
Ultimately, until Microsoft itself finally comes up with an explanation or a fix, we can't say why this is even happening. Maybe it could just be overblown isolated cases of consoles not working for any number of reasons, none of which may have to do with the 1080p fix - but then how to explain what swamped the Major since his blog post?
(The source link below takes you to the comment where the Major says he's passing all concerns to the Dash team.)

Ofcourse it has to do with the fall update. One of hundreds of threads
about this on the Xbox Live forum has over 70 000 views. I experienced the
same thing, my console worked fine the day before the update and
since I updated I get nothing but crashes all the time.

what a bunch of idiotic coments —

I read on this site it only happens with a certain versions of hacked DVD firmware. Microsoft didn't test it with hacked firmware so it's leading to problems. My XBOX works great since I didn't screw with it. All I've got to say is ha ha! If you're PS3 fanboys making up sh*t go back where you belong!

2006-12-04 07:49
I'm very happy for you but I am afraid it is your comment that is idiotic. It's happening to many unmodified Xboxes. Just because yours is working doesn't mean that they all are.
you are a dumbass —
2006-12-04 07:52
the majority of people with this problem did not ***** around with there console it is a bug in the update i had the same problem and had to send my console to m$. if you did modify you dvd drive you only got banned of xbl and if you made another account with that 360 if would not accept you cus they blacklisted your 360, why the ***** would they break there consoles if they modded any way even bill gates is impressed with the modding community btw no *****ing ps3 fanboy made this up i agree with chris there have been thounds of post on xbox.com about the update breaking there 360's l8rz

Qj.net had an earlier post about this update and that's what it said. They're not always right, but I'd rather believe them than people who don't even make up a name or their title is you are a dumbass. They issued a patch for it anyway. That's too funny you had to send your console back. I'll let you know how good Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas are while you're waiting. BTW I said HA HA!
are u stoned —
2006-12-04 11:29
can i say can you make up your mind please!!! who's side are u on quote"Don't modify your DVD drive's firmware, retard" you first dissagree with qj.net by saying this because they are saying that it is a bug then you agree with them by saying quote " Qj.net had an earlier post about this update and that's what it said. They're not always right, but I'd rather believe them than people who don't even make up a name or their title is you are a dumbass" oh and your name is original to is it oh yer no it is not and i have gears of war and completed it and i don't give a ***** about vagas the only gd tom clancy's game is ghost recon and it ant costing me a penny to repair me 360 bought 02/12/05 still had the 12 month guaranty at no extra cost
