Would anyone like a history section or any other specialist section?

by eddie Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:01 pm

I've noticed that there are a few history threads which are of great interest to a couple of posters.

Anyone like the idea of having a "specialist section" for history, cookery etc?
It could go under science for an example.

Also if there are any other topics of interest - feel free to make a suggestion.

If it's a crap idea feel free to tell me to shut the hell up

I've run it by Ben just waiting for him to wake up from his drunken slumber......and answer lol!

by Guest Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:06 pm

Seconded.

by Eilzel Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:07 pm

I think a History section would be good; but to avoid ending up with too many small sections I think if we are to add some new ones then those less used should be merged.

Good point, you could merge all five politics sections into one

by eddie Mon Mar 02, 2015 3:12 pm

Brilliant idea
Thanks guys

Just thought it'd be nice

My know,edge of history is so poor, and I think that it might be nice to be able to just go to a section and "learn" something without having to hunt for it.

by Original Quill Mon Mar 02, 2015 4:47 pm

Very good idea.

by Ben Reilly Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:10 pm

I like it, but today's my busiest day at work so I couldn't really tackle anything until this evening -- say, within about six or seven hours at the earliest.

I think we at least need Politics - Anglosphere and Politics - World. Thoughts?

by Original Quill Mon Mar 02, 2015 5:37 pm

I think you're doing a good job covering both politics and news.

This would be more of an "Academics" or "Humanities" section...discussions about timeless things.

by eddie Mon Mar 02, 2015 6:09 pm

Im happy to go a,OMG with whatever

Ben I'm sure I know how to create a new section - I've run a forum before

But if you'd rather do it I'm happy to let you afro

Commas are the difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma." Smile

Actually I'm in the process of moving my stuff out of Veya's room because apparently I'm "too controlling."

I would say it is an "art". To prepare food that not only tastes good but that is more-ish and healthy too.

My cooking is more Art than Science Cool

Mum says she doesn't know how I can cook with out recipes and minimal measuring of ingredients.
I learnt from my French Grandparents (dad's side) and worked in restaurants while at school/uni

been making Home made Chilli Sauces recently. Got one that is really good
"Mild Ghost Chilli sauce" a little bit of an oxymoron as ghost chillies are insanely hot but I have mixed with milder chillies and tomato and onion to make it palatable to all but the most chilliphobic

by eddie Wed Mar 04, 2015 10:16 pm

I cook,exactly like you veya! No recipe - I just make stuff up and I'm usually pretty good.
I also had french grandparents on my dads side!!

affraid

by Cass Wed Mar 04, 2015 10:31 pm

I do both from recipes and make things up.

I say art.....cause I'm one of those, according to eds, boring people who post pictures of my stuff on facebook. :p

I warn you all now, none of my recipes will contain onions due to allergy and no peppers, coffee or coconut due to icky factor.

Have you tried adding peaniut butter to a curry?
Its yummy
I also have a secret Bolognese sauce passed down to me and my siblings which every one is after once they have tried it. Again it is very rich but so good, no matter how full you are you just want more.

That's a good idea - perhaps the cookery and health could be subsections of the science forum?
