The older teenager is descending into deep spod. All-nighters on the laptop. Attempting to make cheese on toast by putting the cheese into the toaster with the bread.

Ill, not going anywhere. Exertion not possible, hot and cold sweats, gastric fun. Yay flu! I have a notnews in mind but no coherent thought to string it together. nyecamden is going to Vagabond's to have fun for me.

Toastabags (http://shop.toastabags.com/epages/es109145.sf) are your friend - well, your toaster's friend, anyway. Couple of quid for a pair in Tesco, very nice toasties. Teenager proof. :)

We want to encourage greater kitchen competence, not less!

exactly what I was going to suggest; more practical and cheaper than using the grill to do this.

Small mercies; at least it wasn't beans on toast.

larval stage? or all night myspace sessions? hand them a compiler and some math textbooks to ensure the former.

Spodding, I fear. Spods are below geeks (smart and useful), nerds (smart and not very useful, but have complete Buffy collections) and dorks (not that smart, smell funny, have large comic collections). All they do is game. Probably one game. In this case, Runescape, which is a cross between a MUD, an MMORPG and MySpace. OH GOD.

give them a unix box and a paper copy of the jargon file and some tea and maybe it'll evolve into something useful?

Given a few hundred million years and frequent lightning strikes, maybe. This is an Ubuntu laptop.

I'm shagging one of the blokes who codes it and even he thinks it's shit [grin]

So much for getting her hooked up with them ...

You should ask angua about her unremittingly miserable nightshift GM job for it.

ETA: which thankfully she quit.
