April Chitter Chatter - Part 1

Recommended Posts

Ok someone who owns a waffle maker please answer my question (something I was wondering about for a while):

if you put mash potatoes in waffle maker - do you get potato waffles (not sure if that's only UK thing but you get them frozen from shops)?

Dresden Dolls I heard of, but not very familiar with it

Hahaha, Frannie, I don't mean that in a bad way, Dire Straits are the best! That's the kind of music my parents like and I recently started appreciating them

talking of dreams, I dreamt the other night that Sharon Osbourne was plaiting my hair - bizarre or what?
(it was French plaiting round the side of my head and then fixed in) Strange.

excuse my language.. but CR*P like this makes me crazy:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/07/air-marshals-reportedly-stop-attempted-shoe-bomb-attack/

DENVER -- An envoy from Qatar who authorities said grabbed a surreptitious smoke in a jetliner's bathroom and then joked about lighting his shoe on fire, sparking a bomb scare and the scrambling of military jets, has been released from custody.

No explosives were found on the Washington-to-Denver flight.

thanks Kijo and BG

I was always wondering about that.

not sure what potato batter mix is but I guess I could try to google it.
How do you make potato pancakes - that does sounds interesting.
We have something similar called (well in english anyway) and it's kind of similar to potato rosti but bigger (even though I make mine small, almost bite size) - greated potatoes, few spoons of flour, bit of milk, salt, pepper, majoram, garlic, smoked sausage (e.g. frankfurters) or smoked bacon - optional. Mix it all up and spoon in hot frying pan and cook to light brown on both sides.

Bee... like the potato mix.... instead of waffle mix... I would think its pretty close to the potato pancakes...

we used to take leftover potatos, and mix it with a bit of flor and milk and what not, til it looked like pancake batter, then toss them on griddle just like a pancake..... makign me crave one of those terribly.....

i think both are wrong and inappropriate.. I understand the idea of diplomacy.. but why should this character have been released. We had to scramble fighter jets.. which I'm sure cost a pretty penny... and suppose the plane had been taken down based on his idiot response of "I'm lighting my shoe on fire".

Oh I could go on and on, seeing as how I am flying tomorrow, but I take air security very seriously

I'm sooo hungry now - all this talk about food. I don't have a waffle maker and I was considering of getting one but I wanted to know about potato waffles as I like them but the ones from shop have too many calories in it (all the extra oil/fat used) so I was thinking of making my own.

Love sweet waffles too (very occasioanly) - with some fruit compot and whipped cream and chocolate sauce *drool*

OMG sorry Frannie, I totally agree with what you're saying - in this day and age, it's taken very seriously here, even what some numbskull thinks is a light hearted quip is an arrestable offence.

All of this conversation of course, has been completely poleaxed by your new avatar, I laughed out so loud I frightened a sleepy Dennis

ROFL see my last reply.
Do you know who she is?

Character name is Fanny la Fan, Edith's mother in Allo Allo.
Rose Hill got the part aged 70 and played her all series, over 10 years I think.

Omg... just saw something on TV where workers from a Brewery are boycotting and refusing to work, because they aren't allowed to drink beer while working anymore.... they can still have it during lunch breaks, but not while working.

they seems to think this is unreasonable.....

you don't know my in-laws Gill. It will be worse than anticipated and I have already checked for the credit cad in my wallet in case I need to come home early.

I will try to hang with my niece as much as possible, at least she is sweet. Must be because she is adopted and doesn't have the DNA

people on my morning train must think I'm a nutter. I have put TBBT season 3 (well most of it) on my phone and I'm watching it on my morning commute to work. It's very hard not to laugh and people are giving you weird looks when I do laugh (but it's sooooooooo funny)

If I don't see you later, have a safe trip.

Will check in later today xxx

that's not on a market here in UK frannie (Mr B used to have HTC TyTN II but that was windows operated).

but I have find the instruction manual (in case you don't have it)
http://member.america.htc.com/download/Web_materials/Manual/DROID_ERIS_Verizon/DROID_ERIS_Verizon_English_UM_11_5.pdf

there is mentioning of adding music - your music must be on your memory card and not on phone that techically should be able to play movies/video but I can't swear on it.

Frannie - I find a solution for you!

on android forum:

Q:
Has anyone found a video player apps for the Eris that will play saved videos from the SD card in MP4 or avi formats?
A:
Video player is already built in. Just go into Albums and play the video. I play MP4 video off my SD card.
