I like to call them tendicollo, balenette, ossicini, stecche, stecchette, or simply bacchette per il della camicia.

Made the mistake of investing in a Tyrwhitt bulk order around Xmas 2019, and have not gone back to the office since. Photo evidence from this year's work Xmas drinks, which I didn't attend, is that male work fashions haven't moved on in the slightest, though...

It is odd that 'golf club' has two related, but very different and potentially confusing meanings.

Very superficial research suggests that both meanings of 'club' derive from 'clump' - of wood, or people.

I really should be wrapping some presents, or something.

Camembert pronounced awkwardly

Reporting live from West Norwood

They do say South Norwood is the new West Norwood

I think the arms are usually at different heights, which makes the shape less obvious.

Thanks. Yes, a good discount.. thinking...

This is dredging up ancient memories, but I used to have a lot of friends in fashion retail, and I'm sure this exact issue occasionally came up.

They are apparently available for imminent delivery here.

Are they Shimano freehubs, and where are you please?

I'm not defending Clapton on any other aspect, but this is urban myth; it wasn't his apartment, and he wasn't there, let alone the cause.

Yeah there's a name for people like that.

looks like an egg pod that rolled off a camel spider's back.
the mother will probably be looking for it.

Poachpods are great

if you want a funny-shaped soft-boiled egg. Not if you want a poached egg.

Spoiler alert dude

Fair enough, my fabric screen printing experience was fairly limited.

CMYK halftones rely on transparent inks. Screen printing ink is opaque.

Can we see the resulting artwork?

You could’ve counted the number of people wearing masks at the bonfire night at HHV on two hands, out of several hundred (a thousand?) attendees. There was some ugly fat fuck ranting about how masks are useless and you’re more likely to die on your bike than from Covid

Is this the prominent member of the HHV community it sounds like?

I vaguely realised 'advocaat' was Dutch for 'lawyer'/'advocate', but cursory research - while slightly feverish with a cold - seems to indicate 'avocado' is entymologically related as well, via Spanish. This may render attempted puns above null and void.

But with 17 (or generalising, (2 to the x) +1 pots), you can avoid drops entirely and just derive all the blends from 50/50 mixtures of other blends.

I'm not actually claiming this is any easier, but it is far more elegant mathematically ;-)

Slightly more elegant if you can find an additional 'zeroth' pot.

Then that pot (0) is white, your last pot (16) is black and there are 15 blends, each with 16 drops. The middle pot (8) is 50/50 white/black. Pots 4 and 8 are 75/25 mixtures.

De Bols Advocaat?
