Interesting site.

Turns out that Lawrenson is a closet blue - or at least thinks that Everton are better than their actual results reflect.

He's even further off the mark with QPR though!

Ha ha ha! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-21243965

(apologies if cross posted with epic fail)

Lol we haven't a hope in hell. The only top 4 side we beat with ease regularly are those West London rent boys.
I don't believe we have beaten Arsenal in 5 years and we have never won at the Emirates

Aren't Liverpool supporters supposed to have long memories... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/14514681

love it, had to look the guy up: Harry Gruyaert

Coincidentally, maybe, that photo is being displayed in an exhibition that's just started at Somerset House - http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/visual-arts/henri-cartier-bresson-a-question-of-colour

Speaking of butchery classes, has anyone tried these guys ?

I've been thinking about a Ginger Pig one for a while and then found a link to these a couple of weeks ago.

Niki Lauda has said that Hamilton is the world's best driver. I actually think Alonso is better, but it's all the more surprising as Niki Lauda has been strongly critical of Lewis in the past.

He's not always right, but this was probably a smokesecreen: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formulaone/lewishamilton/9566468/Lewis-Hamilton-will-turn-down-Mercedes-offer-and-stay-at-McLaren-believes-Niki-Lauda.html

Niki's probably just toeing the Mercedes line now he's working for them, but I wonder if he will put a different spin on this now: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/motorsport/3633091/Lewis-Hamilton-risks-KILLING-another-driver-warns-Niki-Lauda.html

+1 for Nisbets

Copper pans look nice, but I'd recommend Le Bourgeat Tradition stainless saucepans (from Nisbets) which are great. More functional than pretty, but look as they could last forever!

Their nonstick frying pans are ok as well and the coating lasts a long tme.

I think if I remember correctly I was shocked how cheap it was last time I was in there at about £5 kilo.

Thought it was £8.50/kg (but could be wrong!)

At the junction with Ritchie Street/Bromfield Street (near the Angelic)

Rider was lying in the road, being attended to by 4 or 5 people with lots of police around (the road had been closed). Two ambulances arrived as I came out of Sainsburys at 7:15pm

Looked serious, but I'm hoping it wasn't.

Pub quiz - who are the only team never to get relegated from top flight football? In the uk obviously...and have actually played top flight football.

Wigan Athletic!

Bone in pork shoulder might be better, but Morrisons are doing boneless shoulder for £2/kg at the moment.

Whilst I am very excited about the Olympics in general, I am very unhappy that soon I will be hearing 'medal' used as a verb again.

And 'podium'.

Ok, what cut of pork for pulled pork, was tempted by belly pork as its a mixture of fatty and meat for the perfect slow cooked pulled pork. Or tempting by shoulder what would you recommend

Shoulder - every time!

As far as I know Loake are bog standard UK true-to-size. They are decent too, if you go with their proper benchmade in England line. They do plenty that seem to be made here but are pretty shoddily put together in the far east. I once had a look at some Loake L1 derbies, made in India, and they were ropey as fuck.

I have a pair of Loake 1880 'Chester' brogues that have lasted and aged well. They're currently back at Loake being resoled and tarted-up generally.

That said, the difference in quality between them and my Tricker's is really apparent. The leather on the Loakes is ok but not remotely approaching the Tricker's. Where the Loakes have creased and cracked (despite my utmost care and attention) the Tricker's just get better and better. Maybe it would be better to spend the money if you can and go the whole hog with a top drawer maker?

I'll have to look at Trickers. I've had several pairs of Loakes over the past few years (from 5th Ave Shoes and pediwear.co.uk) and all have been very comfortable and have 'aged' well - even with daily wear. One of their fittings/lasts fits my feet very well!

There was a story about Loakes in the Guardian ages ago where the story of a shoe was described - then, the leather was shipped to India (already cut?) to be treated and tanned and was then shipped back to the UK to be made into the shoe. Don't know if that's changed.

It was the first day for the market today so it was quite quiet.

Indeed, I went past the area this afternoon (along Shaftesbury Avenue from the British Museum to Cambridge Circus and didn't notice anything about it. Sounds good though - I 'll look out for it in future.

Amazon just dropped the Gaggia Classic to £149.97 lowest price for 3 years

A bit less if you can collect from a high street store near you (I suppose there is some reason that the prices have just gone down?)

Fuck match day predos, end of season table will be most likely something like this:

1. Man City
   .
   .
   
2. QPR
   
   

I doubt it, aren't there 20 clubs in the EPL?

What did you think of Reina, Valdes and Lloreal celebrating in full kit even thought they didn't play?

Weren't they subs, so had a good reason to be in their kit?

I hope Erwin Schrödinger got someone to look after his cat whilst he sat for that photo above.

Or didn't...

Indeed, but how do we know that it really is Heisenberg third from the right on the back row?

Cheers guys. I figured that might be the case. Good to know to avoid jewellers.

@dmczone & @Aroogah You're both right, I just wasn't expecting it to come round so soon...

A 'standard' full service was £250 a couple of years ago when I had my sub done. Any repairs might be more - the bracelet on mine had broken through wear, so that was extra.

I took it directly to the service centre which was then in Bexley, but they've since moved to Kings Hill in Kent.

If you take it to an authorised dealer, they will send it to the service centre - they won't do it themselves.

I guarantee there will be an excruciating close-up of a cow taking a massive shit during the ceremony. Hope they stampede.

I was thinking more like this...

With regards to McLaren seemingly suffering a lack of power. They have the same engine as the Mercedes but are usually at the opposite end of the speed trap rankings. Most likely because Mercedes rely more on mechanical grip (hence the troubles with making the tyres last) so can sacrifice a bit of aero for speed. But all of the engines are so close (not sure about the Cosworth) that it makes little to no difference in terms of speed and reliability.

It's the whole package that determines the top speed, but I wonder if engine suppliers have to provide the same spec to all their customers? I'd be surprised if McLaren didn't get the same as Mercedes. Mercedes also have their trick rear wing which helps top speed when the DRS is open.

3 of the 4 suppliers have teams all through the field whereas neither of Cosworth's two teams are competitive - although Toro Rosso (Ferrari) and Caterham (Renault) aren't exactly mixing it at the front.

why can't I open the photos I spent hours taking yesterday?
CR2 format from a Canon EOS 60D, I have CS4 Bridge and Photoshop, I've checked for updates, I've cleared the Bridge cache.
I'm not really very familiar with the world of digital photography, it seems unecessarily complicated.
:(

Looks like the 60D is supported by Camera Raw 6.2 or later, but CS4 only supports up to 5.7.

You could convert them to DNG
