Alphas Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 And also Venezuela, the only country in the world that runs at a half hour difference to the rest of the world. EG if it's 40 past the hour in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, it's 10 past in Venezuela, awkward fuckers.I think Australia has half hour time zones as well. Does that fuck up sun dials?

Mr Owl PhD Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Sri Lanka has some weird half-hour stuff going on too. I was there for about five days before I realised I was half an hour ahead of everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several countries with half hour time differences. Nepal has a 15 minute difference though which is fucked up. /Professor Time-Zones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanette Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I think Australia has half hour time zones as well. Does that fuck up sun dials?It does. When I took a short flight from Melbourne to Adelaide I had to change my clock by a half hour. Even more confusing that the being a million hours ahead in the first place!

Anything relating to paying taxes and employment I know nothing about and just blindly hope i'm doing the right thing.I have only recently (in the last 3 yrs or so) fully gotten my head round the following words: mortgage, collateral, assets, capital, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Nothing. I don't really like texting and I only text her if she's text me to be honest.I'm the opposite. My phone stays on silent at all times, and I never answer it. I hate talking on the phone. If it rings and I see it ring, I wait till it stops, give it 5 minutes and then send a text saying "Sorry I missed your call. Whats up?"Text or fuck off.

Lemonade Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I answer the phone to my girlfriend because she shouts at me if I don't answer, and to my parents because they only phone me if someone's died. Anyone else:I'm out in the club and I'm sipping that bub and you're not gonna reach my telephone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I've never pre-heated an oven in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I've never pre-heated an oven in my life.What? My dad was like that and he did it for the first time and for him it was a revelation.It's the same as boiling the kettle and having the hob already on instead of trying to heat up cold water from scratch. Just makes everything better.I didn't know how to cook until I moved in with my gf and she taught me how to cook. I was 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 My kettle is shite and takes longer to boil than cold water on the hob. Non pre-heated oven still makes pizza turn out fine. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 It's heating up while you're cooking the different ingredients (have your dish in already so it's hot) then once chicken/pasta/veg is ready to put in put it in, put the cheese on top and launch in the preheated oven. cooks in less time and you eat sooner. You'd be doing stuff before the oven stage so the only difference to you is quicker cooking / warm balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 in the old days when if took half an hour to get an oven up to temperature is would be appropriate, my fan oven heats up in no time, so lobbing in a frozen pizza when the oven is cold is no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I like doing it though. I'm like Jamie Oliver when it comes to cooking. I've got to have everything ready and at hand so I can arse it up as much as he does and it still look ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oven Pizza's are better when there's burnt bits. Same goes for Pasta bake actually. I just like having everything ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Confession - I cried myself to sleep the first time I saw Green Mile.I also cried in the cinema at Ice Age. I have no idea why. And everybody was looking at me.I cried at Up in the cinema. Luckily I had 3D specs on and no one saw a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
