Beware; Duct tape is like 'The Force.' It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. ;D

Have you moved to Dorset then?  :

Thanks Mate, yes CK et al are right.  So what we may do is just make up a home video type thing as a trial and send it to you guys for judgement.  I might even get Mark to dress up in a Vader suit to give it some authenticity.  ;D

I will ask Jengo to do some contracts for me!

Just watch him Rossy, he will have you converted to the Dark Side (and natural gas) in the wink  of an eye  ;D ;D ;D

That is what we are here for!

Hi Cory, CK, Ashes.  I value your comments and I agree with them.  It will not be easy, but then I am offering this to CRO with no hidden agendas and we can collectively decide if there is something to make out of it for the benefit of all. I am quite prepared to give a beta version for free to certain members so that they can pass a considered opinion and if need be we can change it to suit.  I am just posting an opportunity, and before a throw off this mortal coil I would like to contribute something back to this troubled world. 

Anyway guys despite my last post, I am not really that sensitive. I have been around a long time and can realise positive from negative; well most times when I am not p***ed and wiring up the house or fiddling with a PC  ;D ;D ;D

Just broke my rules and did a takeaway banquet  (10 courses) for local visitors.  I was quite impressed with little old me as I did the lot from bare bones (no bases) in 90 mins.  I couldn't do that as a full time job.....  Phew

Happy Cooking

For the benefit of some, the two Latin phrases are:  'Opportunity knocks', and 'From the Dark Side'  I cant speak a word of Latin, I just used a Web translator for a laugh  :

Yep, Him and Woks Up are on aboring/moaning attack again.  Nothing better to do I suppose.  And, with regards to dead languages Yello Fingers, if you had the ability to translate, you see some dark humour there.

Anyway Yellow Fingers if you had read the various topics I have posted with reference to Mark, AS YOU CONTINUALLY TELL ME AND OTHERS TO DO!, YOU WILL SEE THAT MARK IS A PROFESSIONAL CHEF WITH BRILLIANT CREDENTIALS AND WAS VOTED AS ONE OF THE BEST INDIAN CHEFS ON THE iSLAND.  I am not throwing my toys out, I just get pissed off with you because you seem to contribute very little and moan a lot.  Yes I have read through most of the threads and you and Woks UP seem to be in the centre of controversy each time.  I don't have to justify my credentials or any one else's.  But maybe you should explain your credentials and what gives you the right to complain.

Stop Moaning ;D

Ok, I have spoken to Mark, my BIR Chef friend and he likes the idea of doing a video if the proceeds go to charity.  I have some video production friends (semi-pro) who also might do the production for free on the same basis.  So if you are interested and Admin can find a way of selling this through the site we can go ahead, alternatively there are some charity sites who will market & sell things like this and collect the proceeds.  So I have kept my end of the promise (you may even get to see me on screen, and that's worth a few bob ;D), and now it is up to you guys & gals.  I am having a meeting with Mark next Tuesday morning so I would like to get a feel if this is a goer or not.

On the humungous question of the BIR taste, we had some long discussions on this and he is very understanding about the issue.  Mark is going to do some demos for me prior to the video.  We have been talking about this tricky subject and his initial response is it is down to technique/heat, the order in which simple spices and meat or veg are added, but no secret ingredient(s) (except his sauce, which of course you all have now!).
