Watch a truckle of Cheddar mature on http://www.cheddarvision.tv/

If you time your viewing right, at 10am (GMT) the truckle will be manually turned over.

Did someone cut the cheese?  ;D

Found it, I could spend all day watching this.

I'm so excited...in about an hour, I get to watch them turn the cheese... ;D

If I am indeed still awake, I most certainally will. 

Counting down, 45 minutes to go. 

This is second most exciting thing that's happened to me since I woke up about an hour ago.  The first was that I talked to a friend online, she finally got her microphone hooked up so I got to hear her cute Boston accent for the first time.

Where's the Cheese,Please?

Oh, great!  Something to replace that ridiculous yule log this year.  :D

I keep missing the turning of the cheddar.  :\'(  I always remember 5 minutes too late.

The cheese has a myspace too.

How many friends does it have?

Apparently it DOES have a facebook profile, although I don't have one, so it's one up on me!

Over on myspace, the cheese has 1,240 friends (and counting).

No still photography or flashes allowed....the cheese frightens easily, especially at a delicate time of when it's getting it's daily massage.  :D

I would guess so, I think that is what you said earlier in the thread.  I have not read anywhere about a specific cheese turning time anywhere else though.  :-\\

5 minutes until cheese turning...

Have I missed it?

Perhaps they don't turn it every day?

It's been quiet and I've been watch (God help me) for the past 10 minutes.

I have watching for the last three minutes...

He (or she) is late!

He (or she) is late!


They'd better have a good excuse!  The world is waiting...

I have a right mind to call them and ask them when they turn their cheese.  Although to call overseas would be a slight of an expense...  :-\\  especially for cheese I'm not going to buy. 

Maybe I'll go back to watching deer eat.

Given up watching, and I will have to be offline very soon.

The cheese stands alone.  :(

The cheese stands alone.  :(
...and the cheese will be alone now, for I am doing other doings now.

They have turned the lights on in the cheese room at 5:29 a.m. (here) but I did not see anyone milling about.  I have been watching occasionally, because i would think it would take longer then a minute to turn the cheese...it's a big wheel!

May be it is 11am not 10am, which the change of the hour in daylight saving.

Doesn't look like it's turned.

Doesn't look like it's turned.

I don't think it has, as the little sample "blemish" is still where it was just as it has been for awhile.

Perhaps it's like spotting a UFO, many people have said they've seen one, but are they sure? 

I'm gonna call it an UCT - Unverified Cheese Turning...  ;D

at last i have a purpose!

i believe i've heard that this cheese is a potential security threat, so i think it's a good idea to keep 24-hour surveillance on it. thank you, sirs and madams, for your spirited defense of our precious freedoms!

lol

OK, my cheese-watching shift has come to an end for now.  It has sufficiantly bored me to where I can't keep my eyes open any longer. 

Someone check in now and then to make sure no catastrophes have befallen our beloved cheddar...or don't, cause in the end...it's all just gonna be eaten anyways. *shrugs her shoulders*  When I start getting philosophical, I know it's time to go to sleep.  lol

Oh and just in case someone happens to see the cheese turn... you can capture a picture of it if you hit the print screen button, then open up Paint (which can be found in your accessorites folder) then hit paste.  Viola you get a picture of whatever is on your screen.  Pretty sneaky, isn't it?  mwahahaha

*snappy salute* madam, staff sergeant greenspan reporting to monitor the cheddar, madam! *repeat of snappy salute*

Damn, I just wish we could eat that hunk of cheese and get it over with...  ;D

They named the hunk of cheese. ;D

Looking at the Cheddar Vision Cam, it looks like the truckle has not moved an inch.

All is dark at 9:47 a.m., but I am going to bed now, as it is very late, and so some other night owl will have to watch for signs of life.

Will we celebrate when they finally move the cheese?  Will we lose interest if it is flipped?  Tune in tomorrow for the answers to our burning questions...

It is not football, it is rugby, a sign showing the support for the England Rugby Team in the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

There has been no movement of the truckle of Cheddar Cheese since yesterday, for the label is still upside down.

Patriotic, sports loving Cheddar Cheese.  I never cease to be impressed :)

The truckle of cheese must be very happy after last night?

Don't really know here, I'm not much of a sports fan.  I think the Super Bowl is sometime in January.  and the American Baseball World Series is fairly soon (I think).  Don't know about other sports such as Basketball, Soccer, Hockey, or...Polo?  ;D

Hold on you just reminded me. London is due for a big American Football game very soon at Wembley Stadium.

Maybe they'll have a Cheese Bowl on New Years' Day?  I think it's  American College Football that has special "bowl" games around the holidays.

I'll bet the cheese will be rooting for the giants, since it has more in common with them because it is a GIANT wheel of cheese.

the cheese is sleeping

It is all too dark in the storage place.

Looks like since the Giant cheese was rooting (secretly) for them, The New York Giants won yesterday.  I believe that there is a New York Cheddar variety of cheese also, so perhaps they were rooting for relatives.  or something.  (That joke was alot funnier in my head I must admit)  ;D

It all looks back to normal for the cheese, for once again it has not moved for a while.
