Hard to believe, given your present sunny nature. :up: Fuck such! I can picture it now. Colorado, with moose and such. I watched that but could not se...

I see. Well, since the notion of vaping without nicotine is absurd to me, I had not considered the possibility that somebody might misunderstand my po...
December 03, 2023 at 10:38
And the bit when I said I'd given up nicotine completely, in the first sentence of my post? Try to give that up too.
December 03, 2023 at 10:33
That's what I did.

Thanks. A friend of my younger brother just died of lung cancer. Four years younger than me. I haven't really avoided all the triggers, and I've been ...

I gave up nicotine completely about six weeks ago. People say, "oh, the third day is the worst," but I'm thinking it's more like the third year is goi...

I was 27 years old. Probably I was a cynical bore, so don't take my word for it, but for me, although it felt pretty cool to be going into a new centu...

It occurs to me that the lights are not in the keys themselves, so what I need is new lights, not new keys.

Can I be a wind-carved bogman too?

Praxis is correct: So it's not showing on your phone only because you're not logged in. I would struggle if I had to use my phone for TPF. I use a des...

Finally somebody's put some monster erotica in this thread. Well, I was intrigued, so I found the cover: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51R4lFiGb...

I have several times enlightened the Shoutbox about the provenance of American whisky and the word that is used to refer to it, namely "whiskey." I'm ...

:cool:
November 29, 2023 at 21:20
That is idiotic, for reasons I've given above.

Thank you. I'm salmon-like.
November 29, 2023 at 18:23
The word is "it". The word is "thing". There is something about you that brings out the worst in me @"universeness".

Among the malts I guess I'm an Islander: Lagavulin, Talisker, Bunnahabhain. But often I prefer good blends like the Leith Whisky, Glenlee and Johnnie ...

Amadeus specifically said, or at least implied, that he did not want to hear from Scottish people:

It’s real all right; I’m just not sure it’s Leicestershire.

I discovered something accidentally this evening. If you fry sesame seeds a lot longer than you think is wise, well, they just get better and better, ...
November 26, 2023 at 19:30
Is it? I didn't know. All the foxes I've seen have been outside Leicestershire. I'm not sure what we can conclude from that, but it's true. It's a mid...

That's making me hungry, and I ate not 40 minutes ago.

It's curious that when I posted a picture of myself in Kazakhstan, only my manhandbag was mentioned, not my receding hairline, which is significantly ...

Something doesn’t add up though: the arch in the photo—the triumphal arch of the Patuxai if I’m not mistaken—is clearly non-pointy, that is to say, Ro...

I am very sorry to hear that. I always enjoyed my exchanges with him and even just reading his posts. He and I came at things from different angles bu...

I tend to call that "Scottish weather" but I guess it's not unique to us.
November 21, 2023 at 16:09
I'm not sure if grey is an improvement or an unprovement on beige. I think the latter, because when I saw the golden brown nut-like object on the floo...

Both rural Ontario and the moonrise sound great. I think I might want to live in the country one day myself. If it was one of those massive orange moo...

I can confirm. My best stargazing experience was in the Lake District, floating face-up in Derwent Water some time after midnight in the summer of 99.

Reminds me of the wanderings of my own youth, although they did not take place in Edmonton. Whether or not the experiences mean anything depends on ho...

The SEP is excellent. Another good one, which is more approachable than the SEP, is the IEP: http://www.iep.utm.edu/ Otherwise, I enjoyed Russell's Hi...

The grass of your paddock looks extraordinarily fluffy and desaturated. I’ll wager what we’re seeing is the freshly exposed undergrass, as it’s called...

I'm using all this as an excuse to write about trees I like... My favourite kind of tree is the pine. It's partly to do with the beautiful coastal pin...
November 15, 2023 at 11:03
My favourite definition too. But I see it more as a lack of curiosity about the ideas and opinions of others, rather than, as you seem to describe it,...

A satisfying conclusion to your story, though part of me wishes your suffering would continue just for my entertainment. My favourite bit was when you...

Classic Spanish breakfast. It’s shocking that olive oil should be expensive in a country that produces it. I feel I’ve one-upped you today because I h...

:up: But I stand by it. Not Sagan and Coogan but Sagan and Partridge.
November 09, 2023 at 14:18
To be fair, Sagan and Partridge are not so different.
November 09, 2023 at 13:12
I've got one too: what's the significance of putting Alan Partridge alongside Einstein?

Ignore the haters, naysayers, and mockerers: that dinner looks delicious and I applaud the combination of pork and apple. The fact that the pork chops...

I surmise he means some special Hanoverian seasoning.

Nobody noticed (or nobody cares).

The most interesting thing is that the behaviour is thought to have spread from one influential orca, who was somehow traumatized by a bad encounter w...
