Even the Tassies display parochialism :-) I did my time up your end, based myself in Shearwater, but the north just didn't have the same 'feel' to me as the south has. Not that I'd never visit the north again!! If you're anywhere near Shearwater, and like oysters the size of your hand, let me know and I'll let you in on a secret spot the locals showed me..... after they decided *I* had brought the rain with me from Queensland :-) Next time we go down there, we're going to go and stay at The Nut for a few days. > > On Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:56:03 GMT, in rec.food.cooking, PeterL1 > > wrote: > >>http://www.sbs.com.au/shows/gourmetf.../1/h/Episodes/ >> >> >>Apart from the beautiful scenery, the magnificant produce, and the great >>recipes.... it's filmed in what will become my home State..... at >>sometime in the future. >> >>Plus he is mates with a bunch of people I know, and have worked with >>down there. > -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia Killfile all Google Groups posters......... http://improve-usenet.org/ http://improve-usenet.org/filters_bg.html |

No, we don't practice that in the North. That only applies to the strange people South of Oatlands. No, not that close to Shearwater (I am at Greens Beach) though it is not a long drive (less than an hour). I don't have any oysters closer than 1500 hundred metres, though I can get abalone in front (about 100 metres or less, depending on the tide) The Nut is great! I was there 3 days for the long weekend with 31 other bushwalkers in January and the weather was superb. ....Alan |

I wouldn't even try.
Backup all your data, clean the drive and install XP.

Like telling roosters from hens :-) For a trained chef, he's rather sqeamish about killing his own food. The SO and I did a Blue Cheese making course at Bruny Cheeses with Nick and Ross a couple years back. It was then that Ross told us he was starting out with another chef and doing rare breed Charcuterie. Some of their stuff is also included in the cheese club boxes that are sent out. Particularly the Pork Rillette. Which makes me think that this current show is at least a couple of years old. |

I am very used to XP these days and my new laptop came with Vista. Vista is, IMNSHO, a steaming crock of the proverbial. Windows 7 can only be an improvement but I am loathe to upgrade after the Vista experience. No wonder Vista, like Windows ME before it, had such a short market lifespan. Best advice, copy any and all files you want to retain to an external drive or CD/DVD, then do a fresh install of XP wiping out any trace of Vista. Note that XP is no longer supported by Micro$oft so bug fixes won't happen in the future. That could be an issue. I am assured by my IT boys that some security fixes will be released for XP however.

No wonder Vista, like Windows ME > before it, had such a short market lifespan. Yeah. I even tried Open Office, but I have to liaise with several Govt departments, and none of them seem to like anything but "original" o/s's. Then there's the problem that some have XP, some have Vista. > Best advice, copy any and all files you want to retain to an external > drive or CD/DVD, then do a fresh install of XP wiping out any trace of > Vista. Yep, pretty much what is being said across the board. > Note that XP is no longer supported by Micro$oft so bug fixes > won't happen in the future. That could be an issue. I am assured by my > IT boys that some security fixes will be released for XP however. I've never been a fan of 'windows automatic updates'. If I get a program, and it's working, I don't need any bug fixes. I've always had good anti-virus/internet protection, so intrusions aren't a problem. Thanks for the advice. |
