Safety note; we would advise leaving the cake tin to cool prior to cake removal...
This depends on the cake type. If you leave your genoise to cool in the tin, you will be sorry.

instructions for making mitred corners in the paper lining for sponge roll tins
Timesaving hint: line the bottom only, don't bother with the sides. When the sponge roll comes out of the oven, run a paring knife around the edges and then unmold.
This may seem wasteful, but bear the following in mind:
1) very little cake is actually left behind (especially with practice)
2) for most applications the sides would have ended up trimmed off anyway
3) it's cake! it's not like it's going to be just left there! -
Maybe RB or someone should set up an online poll of PAS members so we can ascertain just how deep this tech writer rot goes.

*cough* Another tech writer here.
ok, this is just getting silly.

I wonder if Public Address is a haven of PA test lovers?
I don't recall my actual feelings about them. What I do recall is going home after doing one in Standard 1 (I think?) and reporting to my mother that there had been an incredibly difficult arithmetic problem - something like "37 * 10". She, bless her heart, said "oh, but all you need to do for that is shift the decimal point one place to the right."
Once we had decoded this puzzling utterance to my satisfaction I remember being extremely miffed that people had previously withheld such an incredible trick.
(Plus, I am on the Never Wagged team. And the Tech Writer team, for that matter.)

"snakes ε {R^2}"

Triggers my Inner Crocodile Dundee, that does.

I would quite like things such as a science tshirt.
When I read this I assumed you were talking about one of the xkcd science shirts, which in turn made me think, right, I want the regex cheat skirt. But then I thought wait a minute, it's not like I don't own a credit card. So I bought it.
In summary, if you are Dr M searching the web in want-mas related desperation: neener neener neener.

I got my first CSA share of the winter yesterday. It was full of sensible fall-harvest veges and long-store roots. All this talk of tomatoes and strawberries is cruel, cruel, cruel.

In the States you can pretty much start a new life with a new name wherever you want - at least that's the film cliche. Check into a hotel showing your Disney Club card, you know...
Ah, wouldn't that be nice.
In this USA, everyone from your cellphone provider to your dentist demands your social security number. I wonder how I can move to the Disney card one.

we could change our theme colour to pink and have 'Pink Frost'. Or blue and have 'Blue Beat'. I'd love to hear thousands of people singing 'a-chick-ee-chick-ee-chang-chang' in a stadium
There should be some kind of knockout-tournament Battle Of The Kiwi Songs With Catchy Nonsense-Syllable Bits.
Slice of Heaven vs. Counting the Beat
Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop vs. Bliss
Nature vs. Slice of Heavenetc.
