Yep, that’s where our cups are super easy, all colour coded. A blue cup of ‘x’ and a yellow cup of ‘y’. As you say, no measuring no adding and subtracting small amounts, just scoop, tap, go.

That’s genuinely a level of palate or taste that’s above mine. If I was around someone’s house and they handed me a glass of beer there is zero chance I could tell if it had been poured from a can or bottle, unless I saw it.

I use a set of cups for those simple little recipes that are just easier with cups. Just something simple like, for instance, porridge. Getting the proportion of oats to milk correct is super fast and super easy using cups. Idiot proof every time.

Are people suggesting that in a blind tasting they could tell whether a beer originated from a can or a bottle? Or is this purely an aesthetics bias?

It’s only the second flag I’ve ever been commissioned to do, but again I’m expecting a pretty good reaction to it.

Yeah, my Les Big Byrd is delayed somewhere on the M4, so in the meantime, yet another ‘last’ Scratch album, Heaven.

Several years ago we were attempting to collaborate with a U.S. based aero engine company. They were using what they described as metric inches. That is to say, they would tell us a measurement and it would be expressed to 4 decimal places of an inch. So for instance they’d tell us something had to be 393.7008 inches. But when we converted that, it was apparent really quickly that was 10000mm. So we were asking for the original source material, and they always claimed their inches were the original design dims. Like bollocks they were.

Yeah, you just swallow whatever line the man feeds you. WAKE UP!

Yep, I’m half way there with that sentiment.

I’ve only ever known one LibDem. He bought the local football club whilst I was involved with the supporters club. He asked me for a significant wedge of money, which I declined to hand over. He called the police, told them it was his money and that I’d stolen it. He then called me to a meeting where he wanted to raise funds to relocate the club to a new out of town stadium funded by selling the current stadium. I had to tell him I was a little concerned that as the club owner he didn’t know we were a tenant and the council owned the stadium. For that news, he phoned the local newspaper and told them I had a football banning order (I didn’t). His next move was to ban me from games for non attendance at games. He rang me and told me the ban would remain in place for as long as I was boycotting games. I told him I wasn’t boycotting games, he’d banned me. He told me he would lift the ban, but only if I started attending again. His next plan was to buy the lease for the ground (which wasn’t for sale), he was going to do this by raising funding from the community with one giant event ‘like live aid’, but with a twist, it would be a cheese and wine party in a local park. Based on this sample of LibDems, I’m not keen.

Anybody still using any imperial measurements is sub human scum and easily the dumbest person in the room by a country mile.

Went along to see the recording of an episode of QI yesterday evening. It was about, two, two and a half hours and it was very good, very funny and entertaining, though how it will be edited to make an episode of QI I’m not sure. Most of it was Nish Kumar talking about giving dolphins LSD and then wanking them off. In the ‘warm up’ audience participation quiz, I survived 3 rounds longer than the current MrsChris, so bragging rights will become a big thing today.

It was the manner of what happened. It was an industry that needed reform, but the way it was done was contrived to extract a crushing victory, enabled by an egotistical NUM leadership that didn’t spot coal reserves being built up in preparation, didn’t go for a proper ballot of members, and began a coal strike in Spring and through the summer. An ugly trap was set and the idiot jumped on it.

It was a bit of an eye opener for me, a bit of a coming of age, seeing what the police were capable of given half a chance. Groups of police from out of area basically wandering around looking for trouble. I was stopped any number of times and prevented from getting home. I was searched for no reason. Stopped and questioned for having left the house. I saw cars damaged and then people booked for having broken lights. I saw collection buckets kicked down the street by police walking past peaceful fundraisers. It was a police state for a while and the police loved it. The tories don’t like being called scum.

From the planning portal:

Are there any real world examples of Boeing actually hiring inferior pilots?

Do you know the height dimension of the shed? 2.5m is fairly tall for a shed. For info., you can erect a fence on your boundary without permission that is 2.0m tall, so if the shed was 2.0m or less then it wouldn’t be an issue. If it’s taller than that, then unfortunately it might be down to local quirks in planning and if you’re on a relatively new estate you might even need permission from the original builder. Easiest route, is to know how big a shed it is, work out how much it would stick above the garden wall, if it’s more than 2.0metres tall and could be seen by the neighbour, just knock on their door, say hi, and tell them your plan. If you go on the planning portal, it should ask you to put your post code in and direct you to your local planners advice page. But there is info down the planning page I’ve linked that might be sufficient for you.

Gutted. I had Chelsea, Man Utd, and Davankov on an accumulator.

I thought the original post was about the campaign letting down or puncturing tyres on bigger cars. That campaign, or certainly the europe wide version of it that has been going a while, is not solely about carbon emissions. It embraces the whole problem with bloated cars in an urban environment, sharing streets with much smaller and softer users. But it’s easier to just write it off as not thought through, or jealousy, or not considering whether someone has photo voltaics on their roof as a trade off for dominating the streets. But it’s not like I’m their spokesperson, it might just be they don’t like G Wagons but would be ok with a similar sized Fiat, as some on here believe.

The Karman Line is generally accepted as the boundary. 100km above sea level.

You left out the Toyota and the Mitsubishi.
