Yeah, I know, but...

well, you know how it is!

I love your oven gloves!

My poor Moses has a lame leg and is off his food and looking very sorry for himself :(

I cant see any wounds, swelling, sticking out bones, or glass or thorns in his paw, and he's not been crying, but he's not putting any weight on it, and will get him checked tomorrow morning if he's the same. I've run out of Metacam which is a pity. I just want to take the pain away!

Meanwhile I'm going to have a long, anxious evening trying not to check on him every 5 mins. :(

Those do look really neat :)

;)

Bad luck. A shattered humerus is no laughing matter (sorry) ;) How many pieces did it break in to?!

The medics will always advise 8 weeks min for breaks but you may find it OK to go sling-less after the first few, so I would have thought you wont have to wear it in your wedding photos.

The pain subsides faster than you think it will, so hang on in there!

From the clavicle thread - https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11962439/ - but you should find some relevant experiences on there.

^ Wouldn't go down well in Australia.

Kickstarter can get a little weird..

WTF?! And there I was thinking this was strange:

Being professional doesn't guarantee you're any good though!

Today I called out to a ridiculously glamourous woman in a Chelsea tractor, which was partially blocking the road, to get off her mobile phone, to which she yelled back: "Fuck off bitch, I'm only parking!"

Um, OK then!

a while ago when I use to cycle

Shame you don't cycle any more!

you hold your arm to indicate at a certain angle of tolerance

Hi Sam - what is this crucial angle? Does it have to be exact in order to activate the LEDs?

And what's the delivered light like with these?

Lastly, is that ^ red board ^ attached to the wristband?

If you call me bro, can I call you sis, just to balance it out a bit?

lolol

fuck off wiggings, you're not helping.

This.

At least Ross Lydall points out the reality in the article.

Grrr, why doesn't Wiggo focus on the causes of death, rather than accessories that offer no protection whatsoever from lorries?

Also, as our ambassador, what has he done for every day commuter cyclists in London, other than occasionally issuing these kind of prophesies and warnings? How much riding does he even do down here?!

Thanks for spotting that Oliver!

Thank you ExTra! xx

On Channel 4 now they've just featured the world's most expensive coffee - £325 a shot!!!!! Apparently because "life's too short for bad coffee". Jesus.

^ Good dredge @TRA.

I badly need some message, preferably in SE London.

Anyone...?

Crikey - so you'll have to live AND work together!

I think you might seem like a bit of a twat if you demand the best room, tbh. This is the 21st Century.

Unless you actually pay their wages and/or they are extremely irritating and/or you're living in Downton Abbey*.

• In which case you should also have a bell, a butler and a chamber maid.
  

I know, I know. TVs are toxic really - it's all too easy to turn to them to fill silences, pass the time, procrastinate, or whatever, and end up flicking aimlessly through so many sodding channels, and half-watching hours of utter crap, including repeats of irritating animations like W&G and American rom-coms.

Not that I ever have of course.

Now it's barbeque season, almost, there's constantly a jug of this sweet sticky smokey BBQ sauce in my fridge, adapted from Post Punk Kitchen's. I find most of the bought ones so cloying and artificial tasting.

We serve it with grilled broccoli, roast squash, bean or mushroom burgers, seitan, rice, chips, you name it. Or mix it in to tofu/pepper/tofu type stirfry.

You need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
Fresh black pepper
Large pinch of salt (how I take most things, tbh)

Saute onion in oil, in small pan, until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for two-three mins more. Season. Take off heat. Leave aside.

Then, in a mixing jug, blend together all the following, until smooth:
1/2 US cup vegetable stock (or I often use Marigold)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or Agave/brown rice/golden syrup)
2 tablespoons molasses/dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard (I use French or Dijon)
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (I use Hot-Headz! - sold on Amazon & in WholeFoods)
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce (less/more depending on your preference)

Now mix in the cooked onion and garlic.
Blend again or leave as it is - I quite like the texture of the onion pieces.
Check seasoning.
Serve immediately, slather it over grilled or BBQed things, or chill for later.

I have an awesome Korean type marinade that's also featuring heavily in ALL THE DINNERS lately but I shall shut up for now.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Do you even own a television @Oliver Schick?

Interesting. Will look it up. I hope you get something out of it :) x

That sounds interesting and actually not a million miles away from CBT models I've seen whereby patients are asked to keep thought records so as to identify patterns, do behavioural experiments (or 'exposures') to challenge habitual actions and unhelpful theories, or develop visualisation exercises that can enable new theories to be 'tested out' by repeatedly enacting them in the imagination.

It's been interesting to hear mixed reactions to the news that the 'anorexia gene' has now been identified. There's always been so much emphasis on the social/environmental causes of the illness (pushy parents, fashion industry, sexual abuse etc etc), knowing there's a defective gene that could play a much greater role, could be a game changer.

On the one hand, the more that is known about the biological basis of mental health conditions, the closer we are to developing effective prevention and treatment. My worry is that if too great an emphasis is placed on the genetics, patients and their families could become fatalistic or hopeless about recovery, and/or expect too much from the drugs developed to 'cure' the sufferers, when there are clearly so many other factors and high-risk personality traits involved. People love to think of nature and nurture as mutually exclusive when they're evidently not..
