I was thinking he might trip getting in or out, the car would roll a bit, enough to pin him against the house door frame and then he’d end up having to sever some part of himself like in 127 hours. It could happen! (maybe)
... theme tune to Casualty plays.
Kevin McCloud looks back on 25 years of dream homebuilding
Most of which time he has spent catastrophising, especially about peoples' budgets and contingency budgets, but even more especially about whether the custom glazing would fit in the holes. It's always the fucking windows.
I get it, I do. We all want to make a mark on life, for others to be impacted in some way by our existence. Some people build, or create and their legacy is bound up into what they make. But destruction and desecration are far easier routes to making an impact on others. When you have no hope, fucking shit up is a way to stamp your existence on a society which otherwise ignores and marginalises you.
Plus, also, some people just want to tag the world.
“Who’s going to compensate me for my emotional damage?” joked one person who lost their brand new Calvin Klein set.
Another countered: “It’s actually quite romantic. You might even pick up your crush’s underwear while taking a walk on the street.”
Just a shame they're quite old images and therefore quite low res.
Me. Sigh.
Was convinced he was going to drop the rest of it while reaching. He did the double whammy.
How can anybody be so far up their arse to think it’s a good idea to push this nonsense out.
I mean there's a substantial % of the population who will be dabbing away the tears with a Kleenex while watching this, so, er, just don't watch it, I guess?
I'm not much enthused about the royals, or the endless broadcasts of 22 millionaires having a kickabout every Saturday, or 'celebs' trapped in a luxury villa while being pressured to have sex with each other not-quite-on-camera, so I don't watch them.
When I had a camera shoved up my fundament an AI was watching the camera feed to learn how to spot potential cancerous growths, precancerous polyps, etc. Lucky AI. Apparently the process is that it scans the feed, highlights on screen areas it wants the radiologist to take another look at, and they then verify if it's a real issue or nothing to worry about. In that process flow I'm entirely comfortable with it being a second pair of eyes for the radiologist.
Eventually I guess it could replace the radiologist, but I'd want to see a 100% success rate demonstrated over a sufficiently long test period before that could happen.
Chicken thighs marinaded overnight in:
Cooked on a joetisserie on a Kamado Big Joe 3, then taken off the skewer, given a minute or so over direct flame to give a little colour all over and chopped.
Served with:
Spicy pickled red cabbage
Tabbouleh
Zhoug
Labneh
And a sort of Greekish salad.
Bonus picture, some bay leaves harvested from my bay tree, washed and drying for later.
I dry brined the wings overnight with a simple barbecue rub (salt, pepper, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander seed, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder).
I brought the Kamado up to 180'C/350'F.
I put the wings on over a deflector for about half an hour then moved them over direct heat, turning frequently, for another ten to fifteen minutes.
Then I served them for saucing to individual taste (I like Buffalo, wife likes BBQ, daughter likes plain).
Dry brined then cooked low and slow (just around 100'c) for about two and a half hours (in a braising liquid made of mostly beer). Then finished over direct heat on the grill.
Then I got over excited and didn't take any more pictures.
They were ok - bought from Sainsbury's on a whim for about £5. Not that great in terms of meat/bone ratio, but good flavour.
I would gladly pay good money for re-released AC games without any of the modern day Abstergo stuff. Am I the only one? I mean, at the time it was interesting, but the modern day missions now just detract from immersion and are usually crap.
Just me or anyone else?

That's everything. Which is insane value for money. You'd be mad not to. Get it here!

I like that guy's "someone has fucked up to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars and it's not me" grin.
