UKS = United Kingdom Safe:
Came across in the Wikipedia, quite by accident. Quote: The idea of frying fish in the stereotypically British fish and chips, for example, was introduced to Britain by Sephardic Jewish immigrants.[4]
The [4] references a 2003 article in The Guardian by someone named Jay Raynor.
And I thought things were bad when I found out that French American fries were . . .neither

He's a food critic - not a bad one, except (like all his breed) he's rather fuller of himself than he is of ability to cook the food he berates or praises.

if you got away with the odd job [in the antipodes] you'd be known as a "Tin Ass" (or more loco-correctly "Tin Arse").

Bloody hell I've not heard that in a long while. I think you got the interpretation wrong, it is when you get lucky (or highly skilled). An example may be when an average pool player sinks a particularly difficult shot his opponent may call him a "tin arse" or just an arse shot.

Sharon?
It's a girls name, there's the Sharon Fruit (which is also a Persimmon I think?) and there's the screeching harpie of low-rent 'talent' show fame.

Is absolutely correct! You are up Monday. 
I had hoped people would overthink it ...

So I'm volunteering for Florida State Parks and the park I just did 5 months at was petty remote and my hot spot device was used by Fred Flintstone so internet was dicey at best and sloooooowwwww when I did have it. I am now in a less remote park for 4 months and have a new verizon hot spot and the difference is astounding, instead of a page loading while I make diner its now almost instantaneous.
Only drawback is that at the other place I had 10 channels on the TV and here I've got 18 but can't watch them until evening...that I can live with.
It's amazing living without certain technologies and what you can get used too.
Now I can take some of those online classes I've been wanting to take.
Yay!

Welcome back, thank you for your service... and sometimes it's nice to 'unplug' for a while.

Thanks Tim
Yeah it is nice to unplug, kinda hard when you've come to rely on internet but there are ways around it.

Excellent!
1) Get yourself the DVD boxes of any complete Star Trek series you can get your hands on.
2) Start coding something that's a lot of fun and highly experimental.
3) Always have a small video window open where you can see your Star Trek episodes. They are not too distracting because you know them all, but they allow you to get away from work to get a more critical look at what you are doing. You would not believe how many bugs have disappeared after I said something like "Sir, there's a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder."[^]

Hi all,
Coming from Visual C++.
I'll have a little bit of time in a while and I'd love learning C#...
Which book would you recommend me?
Thank you!
