I resisted broadband until the middle of last year.
This afternoon my computer started playing silly b*****s. I was up to my elbows in cables, chips and software for 4 hours. Panic, how can I live for 4 hours with no internet?
Needed wine...the Kiwi SB helped, but needed the TF Riesling to finally solve it. One needs a third hand to hold the torch, and fingers about one third of real size to handle the wiring.

So, is it a woman or a child you're after?

And mayonnaise. That's the one that really gets me.

Mayonnaise IS curry, as are pickles, mustard, chillis, ketchup, brown sauce, salad dressings, vinegar (other than decent balsamic) etc. etc...

It is the very fact that I DO like my food that disposes me not to mask the normal taste with horrid condiments.
Salt yes, a little pepper IN the cooking (not on it) and a few gentle herbs now & then.
The m/c is still working, so...Riesling helps to mend computers - wine fact.

OK, I might have misunderstood your leanings.

Great wine fact and one that the Clare Valley winegrowers assn (sic) might be interested in.

Dear old m/c quit again and probably terminally. Have dug out this one and am on the internet but not got my e-mail a/c back yet.
Fess Parker has passed on, and had a good write-up in my paper.
