I grew up in a small town in rural Scotland and now live in a city in England. So I miss the fields, the sea, the hills, the forests, the food, the people, the closeness, the pace of life, the community.

I bought half a dozen of these years and years ago. I still have half a dozen of them.

The claim was that carrots were good for eyesight in general but also for night sight in particular, suggesting the British pilots were scarfing down carrots by the bucketful and that was how their night patrols were able to intercept the German bombers so often.

Somewhere, I also read that German high command wanted their own pilots to up their carrot consumption but didn’t think the German pilots would go for it just because of the night sight thing, so they made up a lie that the British pilots ate the carrots to improve their sexual prowess.

Some of us, in the UK, play Whamageddon which is a concerted effort to get all the way through December up to Christmas Day without hearing ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham.

“I got Whammed in Poundland today!” is a typical cry of dismay for someone who has failed.

Sumo. I reckon the other wrestlers would just gently push me out of the ring and I’d be ok with that.

And you have fun inventing your strawmen! Such fun.

 

My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

 

Oh, Edmund, can it be true that I hold here in my mortal hand a nugget of purest green?

Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can't not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.

Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?

Come join us at Cooking with fire!

Pictured in the thumbnail is an 'Over The Top Chilli' in its latter stages, an indirect cook, also here:

We also just slap meat on the grill:

but it's not just about meat. Veggies on the grill rule too:

If you or anyone you love deeply, with all your tastebuds, likes to cook over fire then come and join us. We are a small, but welcoming community for people who love to cook over a live flame.

HT to @CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al for pointing me here!

 

Even beats the sublime John Player Specials Lotus livery.

 

When will news media stop falling for this shit?

Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.

 

This year, like every year, I have spunked a truly obscene amount of money away on anonymous Valentine’s gifts.

If you have received an anonymous card or gift, it’s pretty safe to say I sent it. I don’t want thanks, I just love to bring a little love and joy into the world.

You’re all welcome.

 

Sorry for the absolute potato quality!

 

Looking for a UK pixelfed server. One choice.

Do any furries have naked molerat as their fursona?
