We have the new Jammie Oliver book, cook meals in 30 minutes, well I can tell you it can;t be done. I mean I and the wife are no slouches in the kitchen, but even we could not get any of his 30 minute meals cooked in that time.
So I reckon that what you see on the TV is not how it really happened, by that I mean his TV shows must have been edited, and edited hard.

Surround Sound
Why are there so many diferant cables need to connect a surrond sound box to a tv and a cable box?
I mean you have scart, Hdmi then component and also audio leads, why> so many, why can't there just be one cable type that does what ever it has to do and you just plug it in to each box?
I have had to buy a new surround sound box, nothing wrong in that I suppose as the old one did last a few years and it did get used very heavily.
Now because things have moved on (and not necessary for the better) I find that I need a optical cable to link the surround sound box to the cable box as that is the only way the surround box can get a digital signal... Why?
So as its Sunday I will now have to go get an optical cable from somewhere so that I get sound from the cable box on the tv.
Hissed off is what I am, wish that the audio and tv companies could get it all sorted.
And no before you say anything none of my tv or cable box is older than 2 years.

Reading Now
Now reading Flood by Stephen Baxter
Which so far has been a great read, the way that he destroys London is so real that you feel that you are seeing it on the TV, at this stage in the book 200 pages in I don't have a clue as to how its all going to turn out.
As I only get the chance to read for an hour a day its going to be a few days yet until I find out, and I can't wait to see what Stephen is going to do.

Old TV Shows
Just caught a program on the Discovery Channel about painting by a guy call Bob Ross, he made painting look so easy, so I decided to look him up on Google, only to find out that this quietly spoken man died back in 1985!
So watching tv can take you back in time.
