Just the year they were founded tbh but it can sometimes be a bit concerning how many folk don't realise 1888 has Nazi connotations and just assume it's a Celtic FC thing. Paired with their "Hail Hail" patter it makes me wince more than the Apple reseller we had in town for a few years named "Stormfront".

Delighted you've ditched that shirt sponsor. Gambling sponsers aside, anything with the number in the 88 branding gives me the fear. Best case scenario? Celtic reference. Worst case? Nazi's. Our old DPD delivery guy had a totally unsubtle 88 tattoo that was always on display. I never asked questions and don't like to make assumptions like but even here in Central Scotland I'm 95% convinced he wasn't a Celtic fan.

You're worrying me a bit here @Andrew. I might need to file a Subject Access Request.

I'll give you that. Love curry, just need them on the hot side. I'm one of those unfortunate folk with whatever gene it is that makes us perceive coriander as having a soapy aftertaste. Barely noticeable if it's buried under 20 layers of other scorched earth flavours. La Chouffee can still get to fuck though.

Who ever suggested adding coriander to food earlier in this thread can absolutely fuck off. It's like using Fairy liquid as a fucking seasoning. I'm no beer snob but "La Chouffee" is an abonimation. Who the fuck puts coriander in beer? I'd rather go sober. Or worse, drink Carling or Fosters.

Looks absolutely class @Tom . I've been a bit smitten with semi-hollows for the last few years after being totally indifferent to them for most of my life.

Exactly! Invite Johnnie Walker over whenever there's a game on.

Vegan mate of mine was telling me recently that the only decent vegan cheese substitute he has ever tasted is made from Sauerkraut. I usually trust this guy's judgement but cheese made from pickled cabbage can definitely fuck off.

It's now showing as out of stock so I'm guessing they've just been looking to shift what stock they had to free up warehouse space for their quicker sellers or whatever new stock is due in early next year. I scored a similar deal on a Bassbreaker 45 Head from Thomann a good few years back, new for about £300. Few weeks later looked at their website and it was as if Thomann had never stocked any of the BB range. I get what you're saying though, markdowns like that shine a huge fucking light on the kinda margins these retailers could be making on a lot of this stuff though. My Epi SG is like this, can almost use the neck as whammy bar just by breathing on it. Think it's more a case of unstable green wood than the thickness of the neck or general build quality of the guitar. It's a fucking lottery in that regard.

Doug Stanhope's big routine on helping his mum go out on her own terms is great (albeit dark as fuck, naturally). I think his book was named after the whole ordeal but I haven't got round to reading it. Surely only two outcomes to trying DMT on your deathbed. That, or this:

Not meaning to take anything away from anyone's experiences, you lovable cunts all need to read more Poe. "Sleep. Those Little tiny slices of death.".

Jesus you cunts must be rarer than Stirling Albion fans. Out of curiosity have you ever spent much time pouring pints in Dunkeld?

I'm still just raging that I took Villa to beat City, only for Gemmill to Jinx the Man U/Chelsea result. So raging in fact that I couldn't even bring myself to have a bet today.

I dunno, Bent might have this one right. He'll be a decent utility sub for most of the rest of his career, he's just a good few levels behind being an absolutely top class player. Clearly he'll graft and do exactly what he's told. The goals for both Scotland and Man U seem to come from the fact he was originally a forward. Wasn't so long ago Steve Clarke was playing him in a back three, so while he's no world beater he clearly has his uses.

Is it really that much warmer in London than Glasgow? Ange seems have ditched the perennial concerning cough and summertime knitted jerseys for chilling in a full suit in fucking December.

Frighteningly similar experience for my last testicular cancer screening. "Has your left testicle always been slightly larger than the right?" "My left or yours? Don't leave me hanging here Simon."

Well that sucks HMHM, especially with the interview timing. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise you're getting this addressed now though and not a matter of days after you've started a new job. You want to be fit and firing when you start something, especially if it's something you're looking at as more than just a stopgap. Sick-days while on probation can put a right downer on a job that might otherwise have been a cushy and plain-sailing affair.

I still reluctantly maintain that the blame for that whole Nu-Metal scene lies firmly at Max Cavalera's feet. Chaos AD and Roots sowed the seeds that a lot of that shite sprouted from. Soulfly watered the seeds and gave them the light to grow. I'll agree Patton is much closer to Max on the blame scale than, say Ice-T bit it's still all Max's fault for me.

I was just thinking about this again and have to tip my hat to Josh Scott for pairing solderless DIY pedal kits with IKEA branding and marketing it like it's basically like building Lego. If it catches on I'm out of a side gig, but fair fucks. Did you end up going for one? Klons are fun but if you already have a good boost and an overdrive thats in ACDC territory you're probably not missing much.

I forgot Karius was even at Newcastle. Kinda feel bad for him, the British press completely assassinated him even long before the in the Champions League final. He's surely fine as a short term third choice. Was only a couple of years ago Liverpool had Andy Lonergan in as an emergency backup, and looking at the state of Onana it's not mental to suggest you could do far worse than Lloris Karis as 3rd choice goalie.

Yeah really strangle call that. Seemed to let City play the advantage and then called it back for foul when they were clear through on goal.

Hitchens wrote and spoke about Pascal's Wager quite a lot (unsurprisingly) and as with a lot of things he has to say on the broader topic of religion in general, absolutely hits the nail on the head for me. Worth also pointing out he stubbornly refused to go back on this view when on his deathbed.

Tomahawk were great and a lot more accessible. This live performance is absolutely next level.

I quite liked some Bungle tbh, but the whole project screamed "Mike Patton's just discovered Cardiacs"

I hadn't really thought about it. Mrs B confessed a couple of years ago on a drive to down to Wales that she wasn't familiar with much FNM besides the singles. I think I glossed over the Mosley era and just played We Care a Lot, then most of The Real Thing and Agnle Dust. By the time we got to King for a Day I think I probably only played 2 or 3 songs and went "fuck it thats enough of that". Some of Patton's other projects interested me a bit more, (thinking mostly of the fantastic record that is Mit Gas).
