Kept the dial-up account with Hutchison, but they got out of the ISP business. Didn't bother getting a new one. This was the first serious cable glitch in ages. I don't know whether it's worth the cost of maintaining a dial-up ISP just for emergencies.

Your favourite meal presumably? You wouldn't last 10 seconds in this house.

I started with Insalata Caprese - homegrown heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced, layered with basil and thinly sliced buffalo-milk mozzarella, drizzled with fine extra virgin olive oil. Followed that with the same thing I did during the week - the chargrilled, organic free-range chicken thigh cutlets, etc. Mrs finbar did a fine dessert - individual Bread & Butter Puddings made with pannatone. I made Passionfruit Icecream to serve on the side.

Funnily enough I think it's time for lunch.

Sorry, you don't qualify for the special personalised menu. Only Hydey does. Though you would've loved Mrs finabr's Bread and Butter Pudding - made with pannatone - tonight with my homemade Passionfruit Icecream on the side.

For some reason I'm having trouble fitting the chicken, potatoes boulangère and passionfruit icecream into my cable modem. Fear not, I shall prevail.

Idiot! You can't actually put the food into your modem.

You have to get a food-delivery peripheral.

Sorry, Doc, I ended up scraping it all out of the modem and eating it myself. Maybe next time.

Its not so much that we care what you think, its how it affects his Highness that bothered Hydey I suspect.

But if Deity cares about what War thinks (which I suspect he will since it was complimentary ) and you care how Deity acts in response, by extension, you must care what War thinks.

That is unbelievably flawed reasoning.

The only thing I care about with War4 is watching that little puff after I destroy his military units.
