Not tried it yet...




This is fucking gorgeous.  Only thing I've tried so far is 50/50 with normal olive oil for frying eggs, but its fucking delicious...



...next will be with balsamic vinegar & bread for dipping once I fully recover from cold/flu.

Other chilli stuff included 20 dried naga pods, bag of naga flakes, and some 1.5million SHU chilli oil (not too sure about this though!).

New cycling gloves, couple of gardening books and the rest was cash/cheques.

Treated myself to a ReadyNAS Duo 1 Tb (with free 1Tb to claim).  :thumbsup:

yep
i have had one before but this one was dead easy to set up.basically put the batteries in and screw the remote unit to the side of the shed.
although as i said above i've got another one thats stopped working.i have only tended to use it to see what the temp is outside as i'm miles away from any climbing so the forecast wouldn't be of that much use.

Alpkit Filo jacket in pedestrian Black  - I'm not brave enough for yellow!

I ended up getting one in Chili because they didn't have yellow in my size (XXL just right) and my wife thinks that red will look less tramp like when I have covered it in sheep shit, beer, vomit etc (she only has my 15 year old bright orange Rab reject to compare it to).

Also, a 24" monitor so I can watch pr0n myself films about wildlife in glorious HD as well as see what the fuck I am doing when editing videos. Many thanks to all the in laws and outlaws for their help in contributing to this :dance1:

I got 3 new hats - one that my mother-in-law's toy boy didn't want and one that my sister has embellished with a logo of a pint of lager and a starfish - the other one is is red.

I also got a multi-pack of M&S socks (I asked for S&M clothes). On the packaging it says that these socks are worn by Pentathlon Team GB and that they contain silver which kills germs and shit. In my book that trumps Accapi's claims. My feet already feel like they could out run Christopher Reeve (I mean before he actually died, obviously).

I got my usual Years Best Sci Fi Collection edited by Gardner Dozois, of course.

Also got some poetry, an electric toothbrush and a beard trimmer.

Best of all has been seeing my pregnant wife (who does not enjoy being pregnant at all) getting more and more joy from each present I gave her. YYFY!
