Next time use a pressure cooker, it works quite well for tough old buck meat.

But women are does Bert, not bucks.

It's Canada. Anything goes.

Awesome on both occasions Mark!


By the way, K5 or K-1 Mk II?

Either way, ample reason to not buy a K-3.

[StiffLegged]

She’s better looking than you, Mark. (either one... ;-) )

Neither! Annabelle forgot to bring the K5, now hers. And the K-1II is in Japan.

That's not hard!

Happy Birthday to Mom and Annabelle!

You're looking fit and trim Mr Mark!

Your University is so old it must be falling down. I graduated from universities founded in: 1869, 1965, 1966, 1991 and 1991. They are young enough they are not falling down and do not cost ridiculous amounts in building maintenance - except to take asbestos out.

Nah, they have relocated since then, out of the city (which is now once again in the city). The ambulance chasers are still stuck in buildings from the 1850ies, but the rest are housed on a campus built up from the 1930ies onwards (and still being expanded).

When I visit the library of that old place I find most of their students seem to be reading Latin, Greek and classics, despite the famous portraits of people like Isaac Newton hanging on the wall.

The only people you will find studying Greek and Latin here will be a handful of linguist students. And what little the quacks need for their elitist lingo.

Actually, most of the Uni curriculum is in English these days, especially for the natural sciences. Studying History I read quite a bit in Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish as well, but everything going on outside of Scandinavia was in English. CS and Maths, all English. It's quite interesting how much this has changed from before WWII when German and French literature made up the bulk of the curriculum.

Looking good, Mark.

How many snow shovels do you need Charlie? Looks like 3 or 4 leaning against the wall there.

I think you got that dog just so you could say Shih Tzu.

Every shovel has a purpose...his and hers general snow shovels, a small spade reserved for Shih Tzu turd removal, flat mouthed long handled steel shovel for ice removal, a rake the roofer left behind, and a wheelbarrow for transporting drunk neighbours back to their front doorsteps....and a turd bucket.

And yes, Shih Tzu is fun to say although I call her (Cozi) a dozen things instead....Starch Bottom Square Pants, The Angry Island (when defending her place in the middle of the bed), Kozimodo (her Japanese name), and the list goes on. :-)

Nice pictures Mark. And nice that the restaurant must have a No Lycra policy ;-)

Well the phone is certainly competing with the K-3, eh?

And the K-1II is in Japan.

Oh?

Is it on holiday?

Why aren't you there with it?

[savoche]

Has anyone seen Norsemen? They have it on Netflix, I believe. It's like a gory version of The Office. Well, sort of...

I really like that they don't try to speak "good" English. I've just seen it in Norwegian, though. They recorded every scene twice, first in Norwegian, then in heavily accented NorwEnglish. Here's some quite gentle clips.
