Gotta say, jambon, that girl's work is ticking all the right contemporary boxes, the frieze/london fashion week crowd will lap up the stomach contents no problem.

It's a tired and dusty chestnut but it was only ever Dein who reminded Arsene that he was a "football" manager rather than a soccer professor.

Dammit
I get my veneer here - croydon, not cheap though:

BMMF,
lovely Janacek there, how about a bit of Ligeti?
Alas the *Musica Ricertata he described as "a knife in Stalins heart" *is removed, however this is pretty good;

Ha!
Spot on CYOA, luckily he spares us the celebration and substitute the ball for stolen Q-tips from the wife's make up kit.
Not sure I fancy myself as 'arry either.... -

Caldicot front, Paraffin last man

Happy to say that the boy Paraffin is back to himself after the sewing incident, more bendy than ever.
We had a magnetic cat flap for a while it was not so great, but did provide amusement when we worked out that the clatter from the kitchen was Caldicot with an empty tuna tin from the bin bag attached to his collar!
-
Watch out when you're sewing!
This little fella - Paraffin - ate a needle and thread on Wednesday evening he's ok now after a 1am operation which has destroyed the credit card... going to the vet again tomorrow, not quite himself yet.
he's been getting food stuck in his cone! Which is funny at first then a little sad.
Seriously though thread is really bad for their guts even without a needle. -

Hi imp, drawings def needed here!
Why not source an old hot shoe and simply make an angled bracket?
Many people use this for small specialist parts with good results: http://www.emachineshop.com/
You can draw online don't need CAD software. -
Nice one Goodhead!
Buckley Senior covers both ends of chill and out there with the wonderful "Starsailor" being the latter.
"Buzzing Fly" is one of my favourites - such a lovely lyric too.
A deserved icon for sure. -
Followed by a bit of this:

YouTube- Bill Laswell - Beyond The Zero
This is working very nicely at present...

Well, I found the shite good shite.
Film's a different kettle fish and people have perhaps other demands of it.
I liked the space, time scale, small gestures and details of the relationship on screen better than in the novels around similar themes.
Enjoyed Kafka On The Shore very much, it has some of his best characters and a great deal of wit.
Look out for Johnny Walker.

Ha, that's an online forum, love.

"Just read "The Wind Up Bird Chronicles" ...Murakami's finest IMO."
Too right, I love the writing and world of Murakami.
However, as one would expect, his most popular are his least imaginative.
It's a matter of personal preference of course, but I prefer the dense, layered, freewheeling and unresolved to the rather sentimental although tender examinations of relationships.
Dance Dance Dance was a winner for me and Wild Sheep Chase too.
Some good stuff in Hard Boiled Wonderland as well.
Mr Smyth have you seen Toni Takitani? Murakami resisted movies for an age but this was one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema I have seen in recent years.
Go Mechamorgan! a seeking mind is a great thing - we are surrounded by the consumers of dumb pop culture all too afraid to do anything not validated by their "mates."
A crowd is usually my cue to head another way.....
The pretentious do not read the books they merely exhibit them upon their furniture to be seen by others, Rouleur anyone? -
Ha, wouldn't worry about it Mr Crane, I am probably better off knocking bits of wood about with my hammer and rather than confusing myself with the digital age.
: ) -
Duh, you mean the lo-pro which is very nice it must be said.
Sorry I got no clue. -
Hi I don't know but if Mr Crane says Aende I'll go with it.
It has a beautiful paint job with script for one Luc van Acker (Belgian?) and a shop in Ostend on non drive side? Frame is numbered and it has shimano dropouts.
Bought it a year ago from Jos (TdeV) and I love it.
Any other info from the Crane? -
I've been getting about on this:
Crap pedals replaced at weekend but tape still grubby.
Well impressed by all the recent DIY machines I hope this becomes a theme. -
YouTube- Tortoise - Prepare Your Coffin
Just had a windy cycle back from Cluster and Tortoise live at Festival Hall, both terrific.
