I went for industrial strength carpet cleaner - with successful result :)

Nice one on the sugar + washing-up liquid tip. Good one for arriving at work with mucky hands.

What are your tips for getting oil off hands, jeans, carpets etc?

I'm in a bit of trouble with Mrs Asito for getting dirty chain oil on the carpet. I'm sure I'm not the first, so what works best for getting it off?

Cheers!

fuck. me.

Just wow.

Which Bukowski work would you recommend I read first?

The Netherlands and Belgium share 3 spots as Benelux, and Denmark may even get lumped in there too since they didn't apply in time.

BTW, have Italy given back any of their 7 allocated places yet for team registering late? Seems rather a high number.

Keep 'em coming, John - come on Cosmic!

A heroic team effort there - that work of genius is going straight back to the scammer.

He also managed to send photographs of 2 different kitchens, the muppet.

I'm trying to work out how to reverse-scam the greedy bastard.

Looking for a new apartment here in Amsterdam, I've been exchanging emails with a guy who was advertising a nice-sounding place for a decent price. I was suspicious from the start that it may be a scam, but enquired after some pics anyway. After plenty of emails back and forth (him wanting money up front, etc.) he just sent through this masterpiece. Amazing views for a flat in Amsterdam.

What awesome news. Here's hoping that it's up and running in time for Tarck Day!

Lovely, lovely, but for the same dough you could get this one fully loaded:

Where was this popcorn at 2pm on a slow Friday afternoon?

Only just discovered this - nice way to listen to music at work given that we can't download anything on the PCs. Enjoying the Masekela posted above.

This is a friend's work from Amsterdam. Very nice.

And one of my own for good measure.

In Christ Church Meadows by tomasito

Finally we got around
to talking things through
and were close to reaching
some kind of understanding
when an eight emerged
from over her shoulder,
clawing the Isis
like a grappling stick insect,
and in that moment of distraction
everything left to say
was suddenly said -
by the traction of oars
that sent coots scuttling;
by the slap of a palm
against its reflection.

High Windows by Philip Larkin

When I see a couple of kids
And guess he's fucking her and she's
Taking pills or wearing a diaphragm,
I know this is paradise

Everyone old has dreamed of all their lives--
Bonds and gestures pushed to one side
Like an outdated combine harvester,
And everyone young going down the long slide

To happiness, endlessly. I wonder if
Anyone looked at me, forty years back,
And thought, *That'll be the life;
No God any more, or sweating in the dark

About hell and that, or having to hide
What you think of the priest. He
And his lot will all go down the long slide
Like free bloody birds*. And immediately

Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.
