McDonald's restaurants have re-opened in Russia under a new name, Vkusno & tochka ("Tasty and that's it" or "Delicious, full stop"). Despite the name,...

We'll see. I hope to have another one finished for December.

I noticed that but I haven't been able to get in to my PayPal to pay it.

What's that, a writing prompt? Anyway, it's too late now.

No. Difficult second album, that kind of thing.

Just use a text editor. Word processors are shit.

Yes, I completely understand. However, (a) I'm not going to rip apart the discussion by deleting a bunch of posts that have received replies, and (b) ...

@"karl stone" I'm leaving your posts here because they've received some good replies, but I'm warning you: they are off-topic, evangelical, and plainl...

:up: The Talk Talk influence is very much in evidence on that one. Sounds like "New Grass".

Seems to suit me fine. But when I decided to put it on while I was working yesterday, the nostalgic melancholy was so unbearably poignant as to be dis...

I like his work with Tim (No-Man). Not a huge fan of the other stuff.

I recently found “The Album Years” with Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness. It feels like radio to me, or how it used to feel. 30 years ago I tuned in to m...

Tuesday wine is incompatible with my regimen.

For first breakfast, at 5:30 AM, I had a bowl of Greek yoghurt, oats, raspberries, and banana, with coffee. Following a 75 minute bike ride I had a se...

Dismissive of Emotions Overly Critical Combative Socially Clueless :wink:

That's me! Except maybe the last one. Depends on the type of conflict. Sorry to embarrass you but I was curious, and now I shall reveal your weaknesse...

Good point. As wine goes down the esophagus, rationality goes out the window.

Hard-nosed rational philosopher before lunchtime, unrealistic idealist for the rest of the day.

Hm, not sure that test was accurate.

Join the club.

Just found out that I'm INFP too :cheer: INFP-T, apparently, meaning I'm more turbulent than assertive. I don't really get that, as I feel like I'm bo...

I found the poll: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/12143/holiday-short-story-competition-discussion-and-poll/p1

It's true. https://dolphins.org/uploads//miscellaneous/kidsdolphin_5.jpg

If you're wanting to know who won the last one, it was me. :strong: :blush: I don't know where the poll went though.

Yep. Works for me.

Nope, sorry. I just go by the pictures.

Yeah I've been buying lots of those. They have a picture of an amphora on the label and cost more. That's how I identify them.

Is it fashionable these days? I've been drinking it since I found it on the menus of basic, traditional Georgian restaurants. At first I assumed it wa...

I really like rare seared tuna. I also like Polish sausage.

Inspired by ND's forthcoming trip, I had tuna nicoise salad and two negronis for lunch. Grilled lamb neck fillet and Georgian orange wine for dinner.

No more of the Depp stuff here please.

Sounds like great fun. Yep, flights within Europe can be very cheap.

:party: Places I especially like in the south of France are Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the road from Saint-Raphaël to Cannes, Aix-en-Provence, Carcassonne, ...

You're a New Yorker, you would say that. I wish you luck in your voyage to Catalonia.

Exactly

Correct. My image of Florida is a confused mix of sunny beaches, drugs, Cuban sandwiches and fish tacos, alligators and Hemingway.

Scotland's Florida is Spain.

Good luck! Cut down on the roll and sausage.

My Mum's only 75 :razz:

I sense inner conflict.

I assume your Russian and Chinese relatives veto any decisions the rest of you make.

I knew that one. It’s fairly common.

I didn’t know that was allowed.

Ah. My store of knowledge expands...

I mean aside from when we're talking about Willard Van Orman.

"Quine" is a new one on me.

I'll have to take your word on that, because I've managed to avoid Aberdonians in my life so far.

My Dad, who is from Leicestershire, once went to Aberdeen when he was young, and genuinely assumed they were speaking Gaelic.
