@tree-fancier123 and I share a joke.
-
I’ve always had a weird mental blindspot for sequences. I didn’t know the months of the year in order until I realised at about sixteen that everyone else knew them and I was a mong. Similarly I can’t work out my age from my birth date without really concentrating because of the year tripovers. I changed Sailor’s date of birth to 1st January 2022 to make it simpler. I must also be running low on storage and deleting/archiving things I think aren’t important because I forget trivial shit like my age but snap into sharp focus and can tell you the VAT treatment of gingerbreadmen or anything else that interests me.

So you should be sime49. Are you some kind of idiot?
-
Are you being serious or did you notice that I edited my post from 38 to 37 (because I’ve started to forget my age)?

Prices for eveything else are raging. The gold chart looks like a skateboard ramp. But £2 cider is still resolutely £2. Bread and circus.

Tonight's dinner - bread, butter, marmite and suspiciously inflation-immune £2 cider.

We need an art thread.

I've started walking with a stick. I'm 37.

Maximum contact with pan (less curling), more sizzle, more brown. Bit of a lid too.

That's her. I'm sure she's the sweetest of sweetnesses and the lightest of lights when not acting up for the camera. But she's probably made more money from one video than I have this decade so who cares what I think. What I do like about her is the slam cut editing. No need to watch onions frying for 10 seconds. I'd worked it out in the first 0.5 seconds. Slow mo can sod off for the same reason. I can make it slow in the player if I want. What I do definitely want though is to see is it at normal speed since I live my life at normal speed. I've drifted onto tree work videos now. Hinges don't move at 0.25x speed in real life.

Since it’s not come up for while, yes, I’m aware I have Britain’s worst cookertop.

Facebook has been pushing me videos from a restaurant in London (Fallow), which I think belongs to some name or other. Really informative little lessons, the ones I remember being on pan sauces. Also seen some from some bolshy New York lesbian called Olivia about how to use stainless pans. Combined both teachings last night to fry a partridge and then whip up a mushroom, onion and red wine slop from the fond. Meat was tough. Sauce was good. Potatoes are god knows what variety but they’re rubbish for mash. Wet.

You’ve tagged the wrong Steven. I was going to use this one instead of the dog sketch but the crop wouldn’t work with the little circle. Climbing at the Roaches circa 2005.

They both work for the government…

God, it’s like Crufts in here.

Yes. There’s how we do it in the UK and how they do it in the US. No other choices or variations exist or can exist.

Music to my libertarian ears. Extremely pleasant surprise to hear it from Wales. I live in a statist swamp too.

And his lovely little Suzuki. Come back, Pat.

Funny isn't it. You get to feel like you know people from their online persona. And why wouldn't you. They're still a person; just a person talking to you on a forum rather than in the queue at a petrol station. I've seen a band whose members' videos I've watched on youtube and meeting them afterwards and saying sick set bro was a funny little hero meeting experience. I'm just old enough to remember the days before the internet so can appreciate it from a zoomed out view so to speak. Not sure how kids now perceive the whole thing. The internet might not be the internet to them. It might just be life, seamlessly integrated with the rest of life.

Oh why anything? It's a bit of fun. I have a few different watchstraps. I'm wearing the firm colours today because I'm on the phone with my web bloke. When I work on the winch, I wear pink. When I do a job or need to be hard nosed about something financial, I wear yellow, the broadly accepted colour of capitalism. The garden keys are green because plants are green. The shed keys are blue because the shed keys growing up were 'the blue keys.' Little visual things make life that little bit easier, like Mick said.
-
I do. My dog is colour coded blue. I'm yellow. Guess how many times in my life I've bought new curtains btw.
-
Rather ratifying Mick's main main message, I only really noticed you on here about a year ago. Then I found you last night in the wee chipper thread about a decade ago. And I'm reasonably good at remembering internet people.
