RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Declan A Walsh - 14-10-2021
I will look at Boards on the Desktop over the weekend. Not giving up on it yet, but something has got to give eventually. I am currently an active member on three different forums. It all started for me more than 15 years ago with Radiowaves Forum. A short time after I got really active on Radiowaves I also signed up to Boards.ie. The Radiowaves Forum was always the main one but I was gradually spending a bit more time on Boards. Then, when Radiowaves Forum was shut down as an interactive site, I already had a foot in the door in Boards and it took over. The only difference now is that I discovered the Forum Games on Boards nearly two years ago, so here I am trying to follow three forum sites!

All the upgrades tend to cause problems now, and if they're sort all the customisations will cause problems and eventually a new "upgrade" will be announced.
They could have gone for whatever platform is used here, it seems to have all the functions old Boards had and is easy to navigate.
And, its free.

Joking aside, she's always been pleasant to deal with and I think most posters know she's sent out in front of the firing squad.

Niamh is a gem, it would be a real loss to Boards to lose her.
I do wish she had another Mark, to help shoulder the load.

I'm sure all our immune systems are on holidays too after all the restrictions, so you might have picked up a seasonal (non-Covid 19!) bug. Dr. Leggy prescribes TV, fluids and rest.

But only for a few weeks. That's what I focus on. And before you realise, it's January and it starts to get brighter in the mornings and evenings

When it comes to comfort food, how does pudding rice ( perhaps with sultanas ) stack up against custard ?
Thats enough important questions for one night

I hate dried fruit in general. I'll make an exception for scones, Christmas cake and Christmas pudding. But rice? Nope. Bread and butter pudding? I won't dignify that with an answer!
Ambrosia creamed rice and jam is an ultimate comfort food though and perfect for winter.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Zaph - 16-10-2021
Dried fruit is the work of the devil and has no place in a civilised society. Neither does rice pudding for that matter, why would anyone want to eat something that looks like it's been digested already?

Rice pudding is up there with custard. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

I couldn't agree more, rice custard is definitely up there with custard - as something nobody should choose to eat voluntarily.

+100.
Rice pudding is horrible stuff. If I absolutely had to, I'd probably eat it ahead of custard as that's worse, but they're both awful things that should be scratched from the face of the earth and burned in to the sun.
I like fluffy savoury rice with a curry or chili or something. I don't like sticky rice whether it's savoury or sweet.
I do quite like dried fruit though.

I love the winter solstice. Maybe it's the inner druid in me or something, but there's something magical about knowing that this is as dark as it's going to get and that it's only going to get brighter from here on in (even if you don't start noticing it for a month or two afterwards). It makes a lot more sense as a time of "fresh start" than New Year which is pretty much arbitrarily plucked out of the calendar.

I've never had a flu jab, probably a good idea with Covid. If you went out and about with cold or flu symptoms you'd be treated like a leper.
