Also on a related note, the car-jacking prevention locking system, whilst a good idea, does my fking tits in several times a day.
Me too but you do know you can switch this "helpful" little feature off don't you?
i don't really want to get carjacked though.

Do they come out a freezer?
They do, and they're pretty good.
Those pizzas are lovely.

when having the key in my pocket whilst washing the S8, it keeps thinking i am thumbing the handle buttons so the fking thing locks and unlocks constantly. I have to unlock it, start it (so the door mirrors unfold), turn it off, exit but not lock it, then put the key out of the way somewhere.
Why do you have to start it, the mirrors unfold as soon as you open the door on mine, and fold when you lock it.

The way I figure it we don't live in down town Beirut so really, how likely is this to happen? The car will still auto lock when you start moving so just take a quick glance around when you are getting in to ensure no undesirables are close by.

This same pizza was recently the cause of my own first world problem.

Living in the tax free country I do, with 365 days of sunshine, means that although I can still get a Dominos, I cannot purchase with a Hot Dog and mustard crust. Imagine my satisfaction at spotting this Hot Dog Crust in the Non-Muslim section of the supermarket a few weeks ago?

It immediately went into the bottom of the trolley hidden away from the health conscious wife, and on (another) non-rainy day I proceeded to cook my pizza. Was extremely disappointed to find what looked like a Hot Dog crust was just some hot tomato sauce.

Why bother putting in the Non-Muslim section, just make the Pepperoni out of cow, rather than pig, and don't get my hopes up!

If it were based on volume, it would take the square root of the time ((?R)^2)
I'm going for thickness ^2 +c (mass)

The oven heat can transfer from anywhere on the pizza's surface, plus a small allowance for the mass to allow for the fact that more mass needs to have its temperature raised and therefore the first law of thermo-dynamics or something may apply.

Clue is in the name
Pepperoni has to contain pork as it was named after Peppa pig.

I did actually but not for that reason smile. Although obviously one would.

weird, i thought mine used to do that but i seem to have changed a fking setting somewhere that means they only now open when i start the car!! I shall investigate...

We can't find the time to have a test drive of a 4c as too busy earning money, going racing, going on holiday.

It is the first Alfa I have had a soft spot for since a 145 Cloverleaf with every extra Inearly bought about 20 years ago...

Very good. clap

Seriously - I did not realize until I got here how many thinks have pig in them. Walking around the non-muslim section of the supermarket lots of strange things have pork in, that I wouldn't know.

I guess you wouldn't unless you were religious or vegetarian but lots of things (I can't think of anything except Pop Tarts at the moment).

You actually engage your staff in conversation? How quaint.

I must admit, I'm not sure where to actually find ours. frown

More trouble today. The engineer has been out to sort the beans-to-cup coffee machine out. he's spent all morning here, and now after much prodding and coding and doing stuff with a machine emitting a loud bleep every few minutes, he's gone.

The reprogramming has had a negative effect on the taste of the coffee, which is now weaker than it was before, in what I can only presume is an attempt to save money by using fewer beans on each cycle.

New PC arrived at work today. About 8k worth retail. However it's been sat in our warehouse for six months or so.
Powering up, Mr Gates informs me that I might like to do something else while he sends me 187 updates. What did they boot it with? 3.1?
