Was at Plex last night, mainly for Ancient Methods, who fully delivered. Couldn't stay for Perc though - got family stuff tomorrow I need to be compis mentis for, otherwise I would have.
Got a feeling Corsica Studios is comfortably the best club in town - Answer Code Request/Kobosil a few weeks ago was bananas.

Oh man. Just found out via Facebook. A splendid man of refined taste and grace, with a bike collection befitting his character. A great pity he's gone.
RIP dmczone.

Wow. Did not know that. Almost blind TheoryGran could read it now.

I have Chrome set to resume where I left off (which may have been the cause of what just happened).
When viewing the forum for the first time today, its appearance had stretched to fill the entire screen, rather than it being as narrow as it is now and has always appeared to me since migration. As soon as I selected a menu it shrank back, so its appearance I saw and liked very much may just have been a glitch with Chrome picking up an open tab for the first time in a browsing session (similar happens with other websites). I don't see any means to adjust the view so am putting this down to a quirk, but having now seen how threads appear when filling almost the entire screen in landscape, I prefer it to the restrictive grey panels either side of a thread's content.
Can I adjust this myself? No doubt this has already been covered but I've not been paying attention.

DiY are putting on a free party all of next weekend to mark 25 years in the game. No idea whereabouts yet, but I'll be in bastard Switzerland for certain. Cannot believe it.

I'm not sure whether this got linked in the last few pages
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/20/gaza-occupation-occupier-israelis-peace?CMP=fb_otExcellent article for me. Not meant flippantly but the illustration is also very good, as is the choice to use one instead of a photo.
I think it's worth trying to understand the historical context of this conflict, but it seems to me nobody in a position of power ever learns from history. It's not surprising the Holocaust has fixed an identity for many Israelis, or that its horror has led directly to later generations 'defending themselves' to an extent matching the excessive nature to that which tried to wipe them out entirely. Both are over the top reactions, one feeding the other until they beome the same disgusting thing. That is a tragedy. Maybe when the world changes, as the Holocaust achieved, it stays changed for longer than we dare hope. Another tragedy.
None of which excuses what they're doing right now, but you have to know your enemy.

Bring me back a cosmonaut's fart, or failing that a can of Coke.

People far cleverer than us have been wondering that since we first stood upright. I doubt the next few posts on this thread will answer it.

Second time in as many days I've seen Valverde grab a drink from what appears to be a regular spectator.

Odd thing about the little man is, despite just turning 1, he looks about 4 and is already walking around. Before he's 8 he'll have an MBA from INSEAD then be bored witless for the rest of his days - so much so he'll bring back beheading, purely for sport, once he takes the throne.

I'd recommend lightly steaming your broccoli beforehand, unless it's tenderstem and nobody else can summon a more tender stalk. Don't be tempted to turn it before your palms itch, you savage.
Patches on bags are normally a cock-rock experiment gone soft, but Skid Row are still worth the advertising they don't deserve. They like braised red cabbage anyway, so fuck all long haired denim bandits with pierced extremities. Don't trust them or any answer except this. Good luck with everything ever.

On my keyring I've got a bottle opener in the shape of a hippopotamus which came out of a Christmas cracker – the animal's mouth being the clamp to prise off bottle tops. I'm never without it and use it often, each time reliving the disappointment of mushy vegetables and frosty in-law relations.
I'm not the target audience for this particular agony/ecstasy Rapha product, although being King of Pain branded I'd expect to use it for self-circumcision rather than to pop another recovery Supermalt following a gentle Sunday spin to the earth's core

What he said. Plus fresh eggs - old ones spread themselves pathetically all over the pan like diarrhea on keks. Fresh ones coagulate immediately. Use a mixture of fats - light oil and butter. Plenty of both too, otherwise they stick. Fry bloody gently.
Shake the pan soon after you've carefully placed an egg in - if you've used enough fat it won't have stuck at all, but will release if so when shaken. Remove from the heat after no more than 45 seconds and baste the yolk with the fat a few times, remove and drain the egg on kitchen towel before seasoning well. Back when Gordon Ramsay wasn't a laughing stock his test to employ a chef of any level was to watch them fry an egg.
