We had a couple of -19's in Yorkshire (Topcliffe, Thirsk) the week before last. I left Leeds at 8am to head up to Newcastle and it was -5. By the team I got into North Yorks on the A1 it had dropped down to -10

Just been on the local news that Skipton had dropped down to -15 by 5pm. Leeds Bradford airport was also -7 by 5pm!

No snow here (hooray) but we have a howling NE gale from Siberia with a windchill of -10, and rough seas that are up to the marrams having removed most of the beach, and at Scratby is crashing on the rock berm at the base of the clay cliffs. Bad news for the bungalows ever getting nearer to the edge!!!

Post by: tonyco1 on December 25, 2010, 04:12:29 AM
That seems to be  PROBLEM all over the uk - we are shrinking and over-populating - I won't be buying a bungalow on a cliff any day soon!!

Wasn't Methuselah the oldest man in the Bible?

I kindly didn't mention Tony's teeny mythological slip. But then I'm not a ravening Harpie or one of the Furies. Leave him alone, girls. Have some respect for the elderly and mentally infirm.

It was more of a pun, not a slip and not intended to be factual,
merely a play on words.

Actually the name Methuselah is commonly used to refer to any living creature reaching great age, (Jimbo for example).
It was also used in the Hebrew Bible, accordinging to Sorce as the oldest mentioned person in that particular book.

Medusa was a Gorgon, in Greek Mythology. A late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a beautiful, ravishing maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," priestess in Athena's temple, but when she and the "Lord of the Sea" Poseidon lay together in Athena's temple, (not Hotel), the enraged Athena transformed Medusa's beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone.
The only cure in those days was Kumquat Jam, (Receipe below), Today we use Botox to transform our faces to "Stone".

Please note no mention, comparison or link to the above, was made to any living soul working in any Hotel in San Stefanos!

KWIK-KUMQUAT JAM

INGREDIENTS:

500 g cumquats (de-seed and chop finely), around 3 cups full.
1 cup water
4 cups castor sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare kumquats, half fruit and remove seeds, chop coarsely or slice thinly (Can be put through food processor).
2.  Combine chopped kumquats, water, (and equivilant of:Sure Jel if you wish). 
3.  Add sugar and bring to a boil and reduce, (until it cannot be stirred down). 
4.  Continue to boil for one minute. Pour into sterile jars and seal.

Microwave method
Place fruit and water in deep bowl and microwave (650 watt) for 10 minutes.
Add sugar.
Cook on high for 12 minutes.
Stir every 4 minutes.
Let stand to cool, Pour into sterile jars and seal.

Or Get some from Romanza - it'll be nicer!!
