  1. @John Cuthber "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha And I was never interested in sport. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha" You are lucky .No AI was detected in Gptzero on this occasion. Wait, I have not put it through the Schadenfreude machine yet.
  2. I was just going to also say that he is a very well known quantity in the English league. I was watching the Mexico match and just had to switch off on the second half to retain my composure.(I fancied Mexico to knock England out after seeing their last match versus Ecuador in that stadium- puts the Colliseum to shame) Viva Jude Bellingham (you know he has a younger brother,too?) England can be beaten too by any of those (the US would be a surprise -mind you they should be disqualified now imo unless they accept the red card suspension in full), although that was some test and it will surely stand them in good stead.
  3. Fifa is corrupt .Everything Trump touches turns to shit(Fifa already was,of course)
  4. Right down the cloaca
  5. Looks like a Star Trekk episode to me. That was the name of our boat ,Tit Willow. We used to listen to the Mikado on our 33 (or 78?)rpm disks back then. Think it was Gilbert and Sullivan. (A policeman's lot and all that jazz https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iySVVvMGZxo)
  6. That is just the way the lower species carry on; it is perfectly natural to them. Chickadees can be sexy though,as evidenced in the words of the ISB song "Log Cabin Home in the Sky" #"With the chickadees singing a comforting song, I'll show it's you that I love"/#
  7. Maybe he swam along the bottom with a diver's knife in one. hand and a bottle of paint stripper in the other.
  8. Hush,chile.
  9. Seems crazy(must be just coincidence?) how he was claiming that even a knife could not damage the paint only to regurgitate the prepostrous notion of a huge knife gash a month later. But of course we know that he only has to think of it for things to happen(because he is President)-even things he thought about a month earlier-kind of time travel in his mind. He better not think about the 25th..
  10. The comments on the article are pretty funny in hindsight One says. "The EEOB is 1880s natural granite that will break down if painted. This scumbag can't quit destroying beautiful DC landmarks." Another says " Negative posters are fools"
  11. A skit from Monty Python I never saw before(arguably appropriate for the time we are in) They did quite a few philosophy takes (eg "Aristotle,Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle ") but this one is new to me
  12. Sophie Tucker( 1887 -1966) "Soph, I wish you would learn to cook so we could fire the chef." And I told him, "Ernie, I wish you would learn to make love so we could fire the chauffeur." (I think Bette Middler spells "make love" differently in her version)
  13. Must be AI? Can it make lyrics and music now?
  14. For a laugh
  15. Or make the Pool a Green Again.
  16. Could they silver plate the pool? I see a one micron layer of gold plate costs 30 cent per square cm https://providencemetallizing.com/feeds/blog/24k-gold-plating-cost Silver would be cheaper and shinier. A few millions with my unreliable maths .
  17. Can he deport them to some shithole country?Or to some aligator infested prison in the Florida Swamp? Must be difficult to read their residence documents with all that green slime,though.
  18. Are quantum oscillations well understood? If so ,is the nature of quantum oscillations a key to any question as to whether or not "time" might cease to exist and , like Samsung pull down all of "creation" with it and prevent its reemergence in any form at all-copper fastening a certified "death" of everything that was or could be ? I have read that quantum fluctuations can be visualized collectively as a kind of "foam:. Is there any structure of any kind to this foam or are we talking about a never ending vista of randomness?

    Good for me to know as I have windows that I have to clean or paint and which I have to reach by ladder. I eat bananas everyday so will definitely bear that in mind now since the bees live in the eaves and above the windows in question and being on a ladder is a very vulnerable place to be with agitated bees in attendance. If one gets in your hair ,you have to get away pretty quickly in case reinforcements arrive
  20. I got a very quick "site cannot handle this request" message a few times.
  21. I'll take that as a complement☺️
  22. A quick batch of dried termite flat bread?
  23. Dry but chewy? Does that work better with white bread? How do you get a thick crust? Do you put a bowl of water in with the loaves so that it crisps up after the water has evaporated ,perhaps? Or is it just a fierce dry heat ?
  24. I am clearly less fastidious. I use one kind of a flour at a time ,except that with rye I only use it in a rough 1-4 proportion with wheat.(to beef up the gluten content) I throw the flour in the bowl,add in the dried yeast ,along with some oil and stir it with a wooden spoon for about 5 seconds. Then I add the water,stirring it till it comes together and continuing for a minute at most until I convince myself that it has become a little "gluey". Leave it to rise somewhere,either in the warm or in the fridge overnight and turn it out into the loaf tin(s) to rise again (in the warm) It always does rise ,unless I have forgotten the yeast and if that happens I mix up a little batch of flour ,water and yeast that I try to incorporate with the dud dough ,so that I don't have to just throw it away. This mistake happens with scones,too -I either forget the baking powder ,the butter or the sugar and they do then have to be given to the donkeys or anyone who can't tell the difference or is too polite to point it out. (Never heard of a riflle spoon before-might be handy for scones but all the rubbing in probably takes care of any necessary mixing)
  25. Not a flat mein schaft, then?
