We sit on the verge of possibly the greatest football game of our lives and all we do here is bang on about yet another sacked manager at Liverpool. Disgraceful.

ftfy

Interesting info on the subject here and here.

I was going to ask if there was a stall warning system or stick shaker, but the info in one of the links says not. I guess that, apart from when landing, the SR-71 never got into many slow speed and/or low altitude situations!

The gf is surfing Amazon reviews and came across this gem

I attempted an explanation of Manure's financing, but she was snoring loudly after 5 or 6 seconds...

It's not the only one!

Hmm, I'll try a shorter time, but I like the extra depth of flavour from a cafetiere over drip. If it starts tasting stewed, I'll cut the time a little, or adjust the grind.

I don't use a cafetiere often any more but this is what I normally do:

Get a measuring spoon, they often come with catetieres but if not a tablesoon of coffee.
Water just pre boiled/just off the boil, pour on about a half a centimetre to 'bloom' coffee and leave for 45 seconds.
Pour the rest of water on, leave for about 30 seconds.
Plunge slowly and pour into cup (no maelstroming!!)
Guzzle thoughtfully, definitely with a biscuit.

This is for good quality, freshly gound coffee. If you're using pre ground then it won't make much difference!

Do you only brew for 45+30 seconds? My method is to:

Boil kettle and leave for 1-2 minutes
Pour water on to freshly ground coffee (I grind two scoops of beans per mug using the 7g measuring thing that came with the cafetiere)
After 1 minute, stir once
After 2-3 minutes more, plunge slowly and pour into warmed cup/mug

If any-one wants a good sourdough starter I'm happy to give lots away. I always have more than I need.

Will post anywhere in the uk for free...

Me too! PM'd as well.

Now then, Massa, why does he even have a super licence, let alone a Ferrari seat? He's utterly talentless. He's the Emile Heskey of F1.

Well, he could have have won the World Championship in 2008 instead of of bring a point behind Hamilton if Glock had actually resisted Hamilton in Brazil and Kovalainen hadn't done an impression of a chocolate fireguard (allegedly on team orders) in the German GP.

I am in charge of the work experience boy. I need humorous things to send him off to ask for, preferably IT related.

Negative shim?

Barca 6-0 up with 30mins left

What's that - 4 goals in 10 mins?

You can get proper salt cured beef brisket (corned beef outside UK) as served in Brick Lane beigels from the butcher in Selfridges.

Think its the only place I've seen it retailing and pretty sure its from Hensons who's website says they do supply butchers and delis.

If you mean Jack O'Shea (who did the fresh meat section), Selfridges terminated his contract a few days ago after discovering that he'd been selling fois gras under the counter.

The height of the plane seems to be no good guide to how close to an airport this is, as it appears to be a composite image.

The height is deceptive. It looks close to the building, but the aircraft isn't configured for imminent landing so it would have to be a few miles from the runway.

If it were taking off, an A319 would almost be out of sight of a medium/wide angle lens (needed to get the building in frame) before it flew over the end of the runway, let alone any buildings.

There's a link in the reddit thread that says it was taken in Naples.

Milroys on Greek Street?

^^ got the same (and the retraction) - and I'm on 50Mb. Suggestion is that I'll be upgraded to 100Mb, but not until October.

I was informed by my grandpapa today that he will be cracking open a bottle of sauternes from chateau d'yquem. He didnt say which year but I am looking forward to it.

Great save!

Been thinking about the one at the E5 Bakehouse.

Cheers guys.

I've had it serviced (By someone independently not Rolex). They fixed the perpetual motion bit and gave it a bit of a birthday. It worked for 2 years but has only recently stopped. So yeah you're right, it might want a full on Rolex service. I dread to think how much that will cost.

I had mine done in 2009 and there was a standard charge of £250 for the service plus an 'age surcharge' of £35 (mine is early 70's). I took it to their service centre myself - it was in Bexley then, but they've moved to near Maidstone since then.

Can't really see cause of the sun, but this smoke is coming from Clarence Road, which is right now on BBC news. Mental, the images are just down my road and I can't cope with this shit... W:T:F!?

Same here - just seen some footage from the corner of Pembury Rd and Downs Park Rd. Heading my way!

Ha! I haven't noticed this thread before, but I saw this sign today and thought of lfgss!

It was!
