Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted August 9, 2016 #101 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Watties,baked beans or spaghetti.mmmh the best. Watties 1 Heinz 2 spc 3 homebrand ya doing it tough son. I'll agree with you there as far as baked beans go ... except since the Heinz ones are made in NZ that means they are produced by Watties (which is now owned by Heinz). Logic says they should taste the same but, I don't know why, the Watties ones do taste better. Can't comment on the spaghetti - once I discovered real spaghetti I could never eat the tinned stuff again. On our last cruise I ordered a spaghetti appetiser one night. It tasted like it was fresh out of a tin. :eek: Edited August 9, 2016 by OzKiwiJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't found anything to quite match it here. It was perfect with a good strong cheddar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't always get baked beans on Princess overseas. But on P&O UK, you can have 'em for brekkie every day, hot chips with them if you like. All smothered in HP sauce, the way the poms like it.

It was perfect with a good strong cheddar. OAK is dairy, flavoured milk etc. Chutney????? As for a good strong cheddar, roll on wine' o clock, merlot and cheddar. I was in Bega yesterday, home of Bega Cheese, if you are down there, pop into the factory, just north of the town, always some different cheeses to the ones in the shops. http://www.begacheese.com Edited August 9, 2016 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs and mrs Posted August 9, 2016 #108 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Certainly never been accused of being a SNAG, it has been said that I can act a bit rash at times. The family just say I'm a nutter, always thought it was because I was good at nutting out problems, maybe it's because I like Cashews, perhaps I should start a poll and see what CCers think.;):p yes please New Thread,Im not entering Mics domain of river cruising.

Different OAK. It was a company in NZ that made baked beans (among other things), in competition with Watties. Both brands are now owned by Heinz. Not sure the OAK brand is made anymore.

Rare MicCanberra Posted August 9, 2016 #118 Share Posted August 9, 2016 My local community FB site has a fair number of posts from people reporting problems with the census website.

The_Big_M Posted August 9, 2016 #119 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Was bound to happen, I did it last week after the spokes person said that they like them being done early.:D I think that was the same spokesman who last week "absolutely" "guaranteed" the site would not go down, and had been thoroughly tested with much higher loads than needed. As dodgy as the election operation this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As dodgy as the election operation this time around. Quite possibly. They had several spruiking the Census qualities and security and such. As for the Census website I am not sure if it could handle it or not but the servers of all the individual internet companies may be a different matter.

GUT2407 Posted August 9, 2016 #122 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Strange goings on re the census. Able to handle 130% load they said No risk of hacking they said ..... Crashed due to demand they said Hacked they say...... What story next I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 9, 2016 #123 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I've been stupid enough to start a Uni course online (boredom makes you do strange things), totally gave up last night the 'net was so slow. It was fine till about 6:00 local time then slower than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted August 9, 2016 #124 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) And I love the ads this morning from ABS telling everyone who didnt complete it last night to do it now. Website still down. Sigh. Its a worry and imagine the guffaws when they release their findings of the census. Australia's population - 2 million! Dog ate my homework excuse.

Embl Posted August 9, 2016 #125 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I think that was the same spokesman who last week "absolutely" "guaranteed" the site would not go down, and had been thoroughly tested with much higher loads than needed. As dodgy as the election operation this time around. Did he also absolutely guarantee that it would be impossible to hack? This morning on the news, 2-3 attempted hacking episodes with the final one being successful which is why the system went down. At least for the spokesperson it wasn't due to overload. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
