A dark, evil place.
We definitely do have doughnuts. My dad used to make them when my parents had their tearooms. He had a foolproof recipe: he'd make up a batch of scone dough, then roll it into balls and deep-fry them; and then inject strawberry jam into them with a special nozzle on a piping bag.

My husband has come up with a variation he thinks would be a winner, if only someone would make them for him: steak and kidney doughnuts.

He's bonkers.
:Wha:

I was thinking 'oh god I'm gonna get fired for internet abuse......'

Yeah, me an all. God, does anyone do any actual work at their day job when AW is up??

OMG that sounds delish! Must try that *drools*

Um... yeah, lil tiny bit :crazy:



Oh oh oh! I have a granny smith apple that I need to use up! And cider! (UK alcoholic kind, not that weird American idea of cider - I don't even know what that is. Isn't it just apple juice??)

Oh wait.

Crap.

EGGS!!! I HAVE NO FRIGGIN EGGS!!!

Fritter fail...

I expect we'll have a similar problem tomorrow AM.

I can't stay up again, but as soon as I can I will restart things.

Mac will be back soon, and I can get Official Authorization to change some things to prevent this from happening.

(Do Brits even have doughnuts? Or are they donuts?)

I'm up for having both, whichever way they come. Apple doughnuts... :drool lol, guess it's doughnuts.

Glad everything's back up and running. :)

Just because people have expressed concern—

1. We have redundant off-site backups.

2. We have even tested the backups by restoring them.

3. We even have a redundant server and second vBulletin license Just In Case.

That's all very well, Medie, but do we have a spare set of hamsters to keep the wheels turning?

Thank you ...

(umm, just an observation, not a complaint AT ALL ...

since AW came back up, the < back button on my Safari browser doesn't work properly with AW - to get out of a thread and back to a forum I have to manually scroll up to the link to the forum and then click ... Acckk! Manual labor!

maybe it's just me ... ? The < back works fine with other sites ...

No complaints though, my fingers can use the exercise. {am i just imagining this? not sure})

Hmm.

Thanks for staying on top of this Medi!
Evil Asian bots. Bad, bots, bad.

I think we should be buying you doughnuts.

*Skips out*

*Returns with 2 dozen assorted (no steak and kidney))

Can I also offer you a shot of your favorite libation once the onslaught of foreign bots had been subdued?
