Turnip is a "cousin" of swede aka rutabaga

Of course I haven't got any patience....it's nearly bedtime here remember......and now I've got to formulate a reply from your reply.........sigh.


Marrows are tonight's theme - stuffed or otherwise.


The other lot have all gone walkabout 'cept Fans who is bored and intent on making mischief and was no help whatsoever.

C

how did the shopping go??


or shouldn't I ask?????

As much help as a stuffed marrow????

Me???

Well !!

Thats one christmas card less this year...

Better than expected Sylvs. No public 'meltdowns' but I felt like a puppy on a lead as I was trailed from shop to shop to shop! Was glad to get home.....for a sit down...it's mentally as well as physically wearing.


Nice to see some sensible folk back on board.......we started the day with fridge/freezer noises and have ended it on marrows and turnips....ah well.


Oh yes....Queen's head? She faces right on all her coins. Seems monarchs alternate so Charles (heaven help us) will face left.

Just thought you'd like to know that now that we have near royalty on board. If our Janey was on a coin I bet she'd be full frontal - eyeball to eyeball ! :))

Hactually.......'marrow' is a term of affection in this part of the world.....as in 'good night me old marrer'. Or so I'm told!

Passenger lists ,and only passenger lists,on FMP will not go to the page whenI click on it to make a search.

FMP email me to say I need flash to view images
I tell them I have flash and adobe and just about every other ### thing to view images.
I can view any other image and get on any other page but Passenger lists,so what they gonna do about it?
They say I need to use "enhanced viewer "then.
I say how can I use that if I cant even get the ### page up to make a search ,to get a transcript,let alone try to view an image?

Do I really seem that stupid??

Dont bother answering that one.

Can any of you get the passenger lists up on FMP please ,or is it just me?

who do you want to find on passenger list?

No one at the mo LK ,but I want to be able to use what I pay for when I want to search for someone. !

Can you get the search options up?

Thanks LK and Renes

It suddenly went funny on me earlier this week,been using it for over a year now.

It wont even go there for me,just a white page with FMP logo on at the top.
I can get a every thing else on FMP but that,oh well back to screaming at FMP.
Think I will phone em on Monday as Im fed up with emails that they arent getting what Im saying,they sure will when I phone !

I have *always* had problems with that moronic passenger search page. For me, it loads only as far down as the top half of the Sex:Any etc line under the passengers-travelling-with boxes. I have to click in one of the boxes and hit Enter to do a search, because the page won't load to the Search button.

And as I speak, I load the page on the other monitor ... and would you believe it, it has now loaded completely, to where I can see the Clear and Search buttons under that Sex:Any line, and all the way down to the "about us" and copyright lines at the bottom.

So FMP has done something, and don't let them tell you they haven't. I always figured it was some fool javascript *-up that *ed it up in the past. I can't guess what they've done now, but it is definitely something.

Try unblocking some script though if you like and see whether that does anything, if you're using something like NoScript.

Dont know if relevant or not - but Adobe /Flash gave me an auto update today

Have you checked you have up to date copy of Adobe


Renes

Your right JC,I kept getting not all the page up to click on search button thing,but I thought that was me ,being not so brill on the puter,but now I know its not just me I shall have even more to say to them "in person" on Monday..


If I can get every other image ,page transcript up on FMP with what I have it should do that one as well..yes?
Or am I missing something here.

Going now as I am getting ratty that I cant explain properly.

IT IS ONLY THAT PAGE I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH.

If it is my fault then I would have thought I would be having trouble with ALL of FMP...

Something not right about that father one fans dont you think?

ja...x

Holy Rutabaga! (I'm not trying for the plural)...

Look at that:

Same problem...same result.(today) It's almost like having a "magical healing". Hey,I got accustomed to that! Hit enter and hope what you've managed to put in made sense. Now it's way too easy. grin.

Well the plural, of course, is rutabooga.

Swede in Lotusland. It's those British pretentions, I think.

We've actually just always called 'em turnips in my family. But when you go shopping for them, you have to call them rutabagas, because turnips are the expensive little white boogers.

Mind you, when I asked a couple of months ago at the fancy far store I shop at when I visit the BFF, for rutagabas ... blank stare ... you know, the turnips with the wax on them ... that got me the answer. Right there, only they're not putting wax on them any more.

I wonder whether that was just for the summer. Just when I'd perfected how to peel the waxed things without getting wax all over the living room. Wait until you're ovening something, and shove it in the oven for a minute, and it melts the wax, then peel it.

I still say a great big sweet potato you want to cut into 3/4 inch cubes for hash is harder. Turnip you just have to cut into big chunks and then boil the * out of.

OK. Let's see if I've managed this. And no one wants bleeping booger as a collective. A booger of rutas.

Turnips aren't really turnips? My version being the waxed bowling balls {5 pin} that need a hammer and a wide screwdriver to get semi-near what you want. THEY are rutabagas?And those little white/purple thingies are turnips?

Darn.

PS -Not certain about the cooking tip re :melting the wax. I hate using the word "oops" in the kitchen.

and then which is a yam and which is a sweet potato?
