So someone sent me this tonight (truly) and wanted me to make it something. Okay, I made it something. Lauren Bacall.

So someone sent me this tonight (truly) and wanted me to make it something. Okay, I made it something. Lauren Bacall.
I fondly remember getting my first elephant and reading the instruction manual, cover to cover, on how to operate it.
I'm sorry, I can't imagine what that is like. It's like from an alternative reality to me. My kids go play in the field down the road without threat. They go to school without active shooter roleplay or bulletproof screens in the classroom. I just can't contemplate it at all. I'm sorry.
Had fun making this for @wulfhelm.bsky.social and #Wülferhampton #Wulferhampton #Wülfhelm I didn't sing it but did the lyrics (my voice box would be across the room) Cut short cos 3 min limit. The outro was amazing though.
You seem to be having a lot of trouble with piss these last few days.
Smoked paprika can add a savoury meaty flavour to vegetable dishes and it intensifies stews. You can make your own seasoned salt with it too. ¼ cup coarse sea salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon turmeric And shake!
I always love cooking with herbs and spices. Taking a bland dish and lifting it up. I don't have a spice rack but a pull out shelf cluttered with intriguing little pots of tastes to mix in. I'm currently having a smoked paprika fad.
I'll get my assistant to type one up for you. She's 10 and at primary school at the moment, so it'll be later in the day.
Oh, squiggel. Your daily exposure to Wülfhelm has left you cynical and misanthropic. That'll be 50 quid for this therapy session. Or a 100 acorns and 30 chestnuts.
What does the crystal ball show for the future?
There's going to be an announcement from the Oval Office. My suspicion is that Trump is either too ill to carry out his duties as President, or that he's received official notice from the Nobel Committee that they're giving the peace prize to Greta Thunberg and he's announcing war with Norway.
It saddens me that they're cooking such crap bacon. It only has a semblance of bacon from the poor end of the cut. I'm more recoiled at it than Mamdani is.
Just a bit of myself tinkering modelling a vintage Hollywood. A fabulous Joan Bennett in 1935 posing against a cabinet that if I was rich enough, I'd have in my home. Dust catcher or not.
It's a special Italian glaze, Lord. Shall we drown the Italian that did it in the cesspits?
What about rogan josh made with goat? You've got to be kidding me.
My son is now year 8. My Saffy Duck is year 6 at primary, but no phased return attendance. She is fuming 😂, incandescent with rage, even. Erin: "I don't have to start until next Monday, guys", just rubbing salt and vinegar into the wounds 😂😂
Having been elevated recently to within stabbing distance of our Lord's inner circle from my lowly status of cesspit caretaker, I can testify there are plenty of bodies at both locations. Although you won't catch me testifying to that.
The advisories are something to ignore until a wheel comes off.
My son, on finding out he goes back to school on Wednesday instead of Tuesday shouted, "Yesssssss, get in!" Saffron, "What about me?" "Unfortunately, you start Tuesday. Tomorrow" She cries, "Noooooooooo!" with tears.
*Pollo
Igor (or 'eye'gor) was very proud of it and called it the 'Quadro Polo'.
His 4 legged chicken was a great invention to improve Sunday lunches. No one could catch it to see what it tasted like, unfortunately.
I propose a nine day week. 5 days working, 4 days off. That does mean we'd have 9 months a year at 40.555 days per month, so we'd have to lose 3 months off the calendar and come up with 2 extra day names for the week. I suggest Joyday and Solarday.
I have never wished ill of the dead. Though there are plenty still living I wish ill of. Patiently waiting.
I thought your bible studies consisted of burning churches, plundering priests and vice versa?
KNOCK KNOCK! Who’s there? - Note appears through letterbox - “We tried to deliver your parcel, but...”
It's a good night from me in my particular part of our spinning rock in an 'infinite' universe. Here's a colourised Lauren Bacall from the late 1930s.
Maybe someone else will vote with an axe or sword? If it were my way you'd fall out of the North tower accidentally along with the bodyguards who were trying to save you. If any are just badly injured and not dead, they'd accidently fall out of the North tower again.
Erin does enjoy her temporary power over them by making them clean up while she sits drinking milk and dipping her chocolate biscuits 😂
Perhaps you need a target to aim for? Doesn't have to be a fly, it can be a sticker of someone's face.
Although there are plenty of alternative breads, has anyone told her about brioche bread? She can have a go at that. My brother gave me a burger on a brioche bun and it was the equivalent of having a Victoria sponge cake with a burnt meat, onion, ketchup and mustard filling.
Kids not impressed by the news I'm leaving early tomorrow to go to Cambridge. "What about food?!" "The fridge has microwaveable meals, there's milk, porridge & golden syrup, there's crisps & biscuits. There's the neighbours bins to go through for scraps." "That means Erin is in charge. She's evil!"
Woke up, put on the news and then exclaimed to my partner, "Fuck me! Princess Diana's dead!". The resulting hysteria grew worse over time culminating in her funeral with all the flowers being lobbed at her hearse. All the papers sobbing "The people's princess" despite contributing to her death.
Charged with two counts of rape and one of sexual assault on a separate occasion upon the same person. Released on bail, but tagged and banned from entering within the M25 area.
Thing that happened today in Aldi. Young woman with a fractious baby of maybe a couple of months old. It was crying it's heart out. I noticed quite a few older women clutching at their breasts.
I did and I'm probably going to get my research access revoked now to the devs. I'm appalled at myself.
I like it when I send my children to bed they say, "Wait, when are YOU going to bed?!" "When I want to. That's the privilege of being a parent. Now get to bed" Reality is about half an hour after they go. Rock and roll lifestyle 💪
I like it. Very Christmassy.
All I asked was make this tin hat a feminine version. Shall see if I can make it hotter?
Here’s a farewell verse in the spirit of jisei, for the samurai who dares to eat a ham sandwich he made at breakfast he stashed in his office drawer until 2pm: Left by my morning’s blade, Ham now turns to dusk. Fear between pearl slices. I feast upon regret and crumbs, Honour bound to every bite.
"What scenario can I think up where I can justify beating up a child. Oh, here's one my monocellular brain just farted out"
Trump trying to burn the Epstien files not thinking there are hundreds of copies.
My father was a patriotic as they come. Twenty two years military service plus two in national service. He said, "Always suspect those who like to wave the flag or bible around. No good will come of it" I didn't understand at the time, being young and dumb.
I would say certain states should start recruiting now for 'a well regulated militia' for their security as free states against an overbearing government. Trump ordering troops into certain places is him exercising executive and federal over-reach.
We all know what you really mean, 'patriots'.
Exactly.
😂😂🥕🥕🥦💀
They'll have a huge and tacky state funeral and bury his coffin 10,000 feet down on one of his golf courses, so he's nearer to his best friend. Or bury him at sea in the Gulf of America, so no one can pee on his grave
I bet RFK jr is feeding Trump raw liver and kidneys from animals he's hunted, right now. I'm sure he'll have someone on standby 24hrs a day to align the President's chakras and apply emergency crystal healing.
Oh, and I do like your recipes you post occasionally, Snigdha.
My attempts at making vegetables with the same taste, texture and vitamin content using purely animal protein, are coming along nicely.
She was one of those overly intense proselytising types, who seemed to define herself by her veganism. It was all rather bizarre. I have a very good friend who was a strict vegan for many years, but has slipped into vegetarianism for utilitarian reasons. He's not at all like that.
30 years ago mum used to feed the birds wild bird seed she bought cheap off the market. Anyway some of the seed took over the flower beds & grew into lovely tall purple flowers that turned out to be opium poppies. Police came and cleared the entire garden for her, which was nice.
I was once told by a vegan that I, as a meat eater, was culturally appropriating vegan culture by eating tofu. They got a Paddington Bear 'hard stare'.
Even the fracking companies themselves now admit it's not financially viable due to the geology being too unstable to this form of extraction (earthquakes?). All the surveys now show this. The only efficient extraction they achieved was govt grants and various tax reliefs.
The Reform councils seem to be rapidly descending into chaos. They thought they could get elected and then shout at everyone to do what they want. When they realised it involved actual work to help everyone in their community they started resigning. Then they can't even work with each other.
You still get blown up, but with extra splinters.
Mine was on Facebook. The place where older people are more easily scammed. All my aunties and uncles (and my 11 year older bro) are on there, so I try to warn them of all scams.
I had Martin Lewis, from Money Saving Expert for a while. Then Elon Musk popped up trying to sell something called a Dogecoin. The former - fake, the latter - real.
Colour experimentation with Lupe Vélez, Hollywood starl of the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Beautiful woman, but tragic end I'm afraid.
I love a good grilled offal tube, I do. Extra chewy 😂
The investment in wind farms is driving up costs. Once in place the network costs should drop. Anyway, those wind and solar farms will be more dedicated for generating power for industrial/business use as domestic consumption falls away. That's why the whole nationalised Great British Energy shtick.
It's painted on as part of the big rotating dome we're living under, so my QAnon forum tells me. Also pigs can't look up.
I like eating a good Lincolnshire sausage or a German one. This is not double entendre.
I saw some flags on lamposts & a badly painted cross on a mini-roundabout today in a run down council estate, which I feel is the point of the problem. The more affluent areas prefer to be racist behind closed doors, where the poorer ones vent their anger publicly as a protest at neglect.
eat. Couldn't stomach the taste, even with brown sauce" "You're making that up!" I look at her. "Ooo, maybe not" "Anyway, he got really hungry & couldn't face eating any more of his pal, so went to his local takeaway & confessed whilst eating his chips & curry sauce. I admire Dahmer's dedication"
"It's a butchers, Erin. I'm sure they'll have a sausage making machine." "Ooh, Jeffrey Dahmer made sausages and served them to a neighbour in a sandwich" "I once went to a murder, where a guy killed a guy on a rack..." "A rack?!" "... & in effort to hide the body, sliced off bits & fried it up to..
Taking my now recovered eldest daughter for a sleepover. It's always a joy just driving & chatting with her. She told me there's an old fashioned butchers near her college that has pigs heads in the window & everyone holds their nose walking past it. "Do they make their own sausages do you think?"
If they can come with an injection for tinnitus, then I 'may' become a believer.
The 'protein' wraps cost the same as normal wraps, but there's 6 smaller wraps in a pack instead of the normal larger size with 8. All the regular is missing is the extra pea (protein isolate) flour. So they're really taking the P.
The domestic consumer is reaching a point where they can be no longer a consumer anymore. This is what the big fossil fuel and energy producers fear most. No longer being needed. If the government invests more in heat pumps, home solar / wind generation and battery storage, they can exit the grid.
I might be persuaded by protein wine.
Why has Aldi got an obsession with putting 'PROTEIN' on everything? Protein wraps, Protein yoghurts, Protein ready meals? Just stop.
Cortisone? My shoulder calmed down after 2 injections. Never had a problem since.
Contemplating an electric car. I drive a diesel and it's getting old. Saw an emergency services lease/hire/buy deal where they pretty much sort everything. Tax, insurance, maintenance, tires, with no upfront deposit. Very tempted looking at the figures. 7p per Kwh.
Someone from England raging on FB that he couldn't take his favourite cheese into France. It got confiscated. Pointed out he couldn't take his favourite cheese from France into england. He just didn't understand.
I've given her lots of fluids, biscuits and toast. She's back on track and has had some dinner tonight. She's slept most of the day.
Taken the day off. Eldest daughter's not well. Been sick a few times, so she wasn't fit to watch over the younger two ding-dongs, all day. "Are you sure you're not up the duff?" "If I am, dad, it's going to be the new Messiah." "They'll still get nailed up for asking people to be kind" "True"
I'm lucky that I've got flexible working hours. I can carry a deficit of no more than 8hours over 6 weeks. I start usually at 10 & work till 6pm, missing rush hours, but even then I've only got a 20 minute commute. Some like doing 7 while 3, but it's usually just me holding the fort past 4.
My late 2nd brother had a team of maintenance guys in his charge. They were supposed to be in at 6am with him starting 8am. Anyway, he surprised them all by being in at 6 one day and watching them all turn up between 7 and 7.30
The nearest my eldest gets to a hot date is playing Roblox with her gay friend on chat, whilst I bring her milk and chocolate biscuits in bed.
Erin was 10 at the time, Gabriel 5 and Saffron 3. It is only natural that they ask about her. There's a whole history that's only suitable to know when they're older. Erin knows some, but the younger two don't.
Yeah, I have the diversion tactics which I bat off to the boundary. Sometimes they ask about their mum, which is always difficult to address. I will sit and answer honestly. Even Erin, at 17, asks about her mum and I will tell her tales about her time with us and stories her mum and dad told me.
Forgot 'from my son'. His sisters tease him mercilessly, so he gets scared to ask.
I usually have suddenly an "I've got question, dad" at bed time, mostly completely random, but occasionally something that worries him. It's frustrating that they do that, but at bedtime when they're alone without siblings listening they then have the courage to ask. I never want the opposite.
Just doing some lazy Sunday colourisation.
I think he's a bit off course. Just had a look to see if any are due today. They seem to be due over Derbyshire.
Just been subject to a spitfire strafing run.
If that's their council accommodation that they're criminally damaging, they may soon find themselves convicted, fined, evicted and be of No Fixed Abode.
Thankfully they were eventually listened to & a string of convictions of networks of hundreds of men & women have shown it to be a huge scandal of a failure of care of these children. The 'man' the post is about is an ignorant fool and a paedophile apologist.
Many were from care homes (child residential centres) & these individuals would wait near to pick up girls, grooming them with the love & attention they desperately needed. The authorities at the time also thought they were bratty teenagers, ignoring the problems for years. 1,400+ victims in the UK
Having listened to child victims of grooming, trafficking, sexual abuse & rape, these girls (and boys) were targeted precisely, because they were vulnerable to exploitation. They plied with drink & drugs, & then sold to a network of men. This has had long term mental health repercussions for them
Sounds like they would be up for a shag in a cubicle near the showers at a swimming pool.
From FB. My daughter Erin five years ago on a morning before school. "Daddy, whatcha going too today? A murder? A stabbing? Dead body?" Me: "No idea, Erin. We don't prearrange these things." Glad I'm done.
