Germany Netherlands was a good 2nd half after a take first half. Cracking goals and referee drama with the worst handball decision I've ever seen and no VAR to help.

Watched bits of that Roy Keane show. Sad, sad man.

Sports coaching podcast about perception action coupling and games etc. For the cricketers skip to around 1 hour mark, tlks about bowling machines, Steve Smith, games for training to work on running, throwing etc. Might be of interest

BoJo seems frazzled. Rambling, confused answers to questions. Those strange performances in Parliament.

Remember he's never actually had a real job before (well he was Foreign Secretary but he certainly didn't act like it). Meltdown incoming.

I shared this article about HIGNFY at work the other day, seems to have held up well given it was written in 2015:

https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/...british-satire

That was a great read.

I love this line about Katie Hopkins, as punchingly passive aggressive as it is...

Most tellingly, her greatest moments of vulnerability came when she was asked to accept tenderness from others. In order to survive in the harsh and emotionally retarded world of the English ruling-class male she was trained for in private school and at Sandhurst, Hopkins has clearly been required to forgo any public acceptance of warmth or kindness from others.

And you a feminist!

I really don't see anything wrong with what u quoted, explain it to a drunk man please.

Did you love Peaky Blinders opening sequence Sunday night, thought of you !

[oleras]

There were scenes in Peaky Blinders last week that would be up there in the best of tv imo.

As for Preacher...I wouldn't even try to explain the craziness...but its wonderful, 2nd fav tv show atm.

It reads like he's offering sympathy and understanding as to why she's a cunt, and that it's not her fault, when really he's just calling her a cunt.

Our Brexit point man sounds like he's losing the will to live.

The section called 'Johnson's character' is good. If you don't trust him and if he can't get the numbers, what is he exactly?

[Strewelpeter]

@shrap or anyone else who'd know
Any walk in gigs in London tonight that would be worthwhile?
Or a pointer to a useful gig guide now that time out is shit.
Plans for tonight haven't worked out.
Georgie Fame at Ronnie Scott's the other night was gig of the year so far. Great stuff altogether.

[Raoul Duke III]

Paging brianmc

we have a large collection of bushes\shrubs on one side of the back garden. They are manky and old, so I finally got around to start clearing them this morning. Was clearing one when I heard a low buzzing sound and found what was a bee's 'nest' (definitely not a hive - it was a big clump of old, mossy grass). Lots of very lethargic bees kinda fell out of it, most of them unable to fly and - the weird thing - a lot of them were almost entirely black. They weren't aggressive in any way.

Did I disturb a bee hospice?

Do you not use songkick? If not download it now. Dozens of Concerts on tonight including the London folk Festival (no idea who's playing tonight)

There are still tickets available for the flaming lips in Brixton

Songkick is a decent app/website not as good as it was but still decent

Just found this as well

Did my first Clean the Canal this morning.

A few months back I happened to see a fair few people dressed in high viz jackets, armed with black sacks and litter pickers, walking up amd down the canal near where I live.

A quick Google led me to a group that meets up on the 1st Saturday of every month and cleans up the Grand Canal.

I wanted to get involved straight away but sadly today was the 1st first Saturday of the month I've been around since so I happily rocked up at 10am to join in.

While we, as a group, collected a lot of bags of rubbish, it wasn't quite as dirty as I had expected. This may, of course be due to the fact that the area is cleaned so often. That said, we still had about 15 sacks of rubbish at the end for a relatively small section of the canal .

One thing that really struck me was the number of cigarette butts. On the stretch I did (one side of the canal from Charlemont to Lesson St) I must have picked up at least 200 plus cigarette butts.

I know most on here are off the cigs and onto the vaping but if there is any still left on the cigs, seriously, stop fucking them on the ground when you walk or out the window when you drive.

Not even Roy Keane would be such a cunt to do that...

Great shout, class gig thanks.

Georgie Fame in Ronnie Scott's, Jason and the scorchers on Shepard's Vish empire and bedouine in the queen Elizabeth hall , quite the variety of acts and venues in the one weekend.

Those DJ's whose names I've never heard of could happen yet but i don't reckon there rest of the oul lads have the stamina for more

Cool, glad you enjoyed her

[Dice75]

Can't remember the exact date but 2011 for me (although I had originally quit in 2005, was off and on them till 2011).

Was off them for a couple of months back in 99 around the time i hooked up with the wife. She was not impressed when i srarted back up about a year later.

Went off them again just over 2 years ago. Mate bet me €20 i couldnt stay off them for 3 months. Cant resist a bet. Told him id give him €2k if i didnt last the 3 months. Did the trick.

Seen a fairly amazing tennis stat this morning. Womens tennis had it's first major winner born in the 2000's last night whereas Mens has yet to have one born in the 90's.

That's some stranglehold the golden era have had for a couple of decades.

She was unbelievable last night. Took it to Serena in a big way. Wasn't sure she'd close it out after a match point at 5-1, then Serena came back to 5-5. Slightly weak Serena but still an incredible win. Can't wait to see her at Wimbledon as I really think that surface will suit her as she gets so low on the ball

Watched a minute or two of the camogie. Very disorientating that they've switched the camera so that the Hill is on the right-hand side. Looks weird.

...Some atmosphere building in the Ashes now, England beginning to look like they may survive again... C'mon Starc!...

Redzone is back!! 7 hours of commercial free football. Oh how I've missed this on lazy sundays.

...Get in there!!!...Definitely think Australia fully deserve it, they've looked in control of pretty much every test (even the one they've lost)...

They do that for the women's football too. It had always struck me as a weird thing to do.

Yep, used it yesterday evening. Pretty much have the Neapolitan style pizza mastered now. Definitely better than most if not all pizzas I've had. Problem is I keep inviting people over and spend most of the time cooking them for other people rather than eating them myself.

You're doing it wrong. You own a plane. Just fly to Italy any time you want good pizza for ultimate wankery. Easy game.

Given that it takes 30 seconds (allegedly) to cook, and doing up enough dough/sauce for 10 doesn't take much more time than dough/sauce for 1, it can't be that bad really? You can make doing their own sauce, toppings, etc part of the experience.

If they showed it from the usual side would they have ended up showing an emptyish stand?

So swap sides to give a better view of crowd/atmosphere etc

[6starpool]

I love the idea of it, but my garden is too small and I wouldn't get enough use out of it, so it'd definitely end up another thing stored away. I've no shed either so it wouldn't even be stored somewhere convenient. If I had a large garden with a decent shed I probably would. I'll make do with the oven for making pizza.

It takes about 60-90 seconds to cook with 2-3 turns needed in that time. The preparation is fine, but the live action is intense. You're making sure the oven stays hot enough by topping up the wood pellets, while also stretching the dough and getting the next one ready. To be honest putting the sauce and toppings on is a skill and if you let guests do it they'll make a mess of it. One spot of sauce on the peel and pizza won't slide off, same goes if it's weighed down too much or its sitting on it for too long. As it needs to be done on the peel they can only be done one at a time anyway.

The oven is tiny so any garden would be suitable really

Is this pizza oven one you can buy, or did you build it?

Obviously I would be up for one of these options.
