        Is attheraces usa racing always a terrible picture? I know its sd rather than hd but other stations manage to get watchable sd. This is like lego bricks rather than pixels.

          Re: water charges. Let's say the government came out and said 'OK I suppose we do pay for water already through xyz tax (was there something about it being rolled into motor tax years ago?) but having it as a transparent charge run through a separate entity is obviously the way to go. As a conciliatory measure we will remove the following: ________.

          What would _______ have to be end all this?

                        On to a vastly more important development. Our apartment was rented without an oven, much to our surprise but apparently standard here for non-furnished places (which is 90%+ places). Been trying to work out how you install an oven this last while, in between many 'wtf?' Anywho we decided to instead go for a multicooker.

                        Jesus, the future has arrived. Fck me, but they are brilliant. Excellent risotto involved chopping things on some other automated gadget we got for a total time spent of a minute. Throwing everything in the multicooker. Pressing a button. And 15 minutes later: ta-da!

                        Pressure cooker, regular cooker, steamer, baker. And with fairly brill outcomes. As you can tell I'm rather excited. Did start the purchase decision thinking of the past brilliant ideas of slowcooker, ice cream maker, and the very-close-to-buying dehydrator (wife: think of the money I'll save on dried bananas) and sous vide contraption (me to wife: your stomping on my Michelin dreams).

                        How are these not more widely known / used???
                        I cooked a chicken in a gas oven today. Still hate the cutting up bit (those youtube vids make it look so easy). Only modern innovation was using a digital thermometer to make sure it was done.

                            We have this bookcase:





                            Made of glass and chrome and no attachment to the wall or obvious way to attach it to the wall. I'm a bit concerned about eventual baby climbing even though it's stable enough. How would I go about ensuring it doesn't topple. I was thinking maybe wrap some metal wire around an upper shelf and then screw that wire into the wall with one of those special restraining screws. Doesn't seem the best plan though.
                            I'd attach the wire to both of the upper 'legs'. I still remember one of my nieces, more than 20 years ago pulling down a crt TV off a table. It was quite a bit of good running that she didn't end up under it.

                                The excitement is at fever pitch, Cant see him sleeping too well tonight. Made this before the 2011 final and sent the link in as part of the comp on 2fm. I think him singing live on radio won it for him.

                                As if Semi -finals weren't nerve wracking enough, will be up the walls in case he drops the flag or something.

                                      I'd say that's at least my 4th one, though I haven't been keeping notes.

                                                      BTW think I only used my cooker twice in the last 12 months and both times was to boil water for porridge... Rather proud of that fact actually!

                                                                              Spacey, drone-y, heavy, tense and beautiful.

                                                                              They're supporting The Waterboys on their upcoming Irish tour in Oct/Nov, a really ballsy move by Mike Scott who has been a long-time supporter.

It has a hole in it to screw to the wall. I didn't screw it in though and have 2 small boys who climb everything and it's still standing / they're still alive.

Made this before the 2011 final and sent the link in as part of the comp on 2fm. I think him singing live on radio won it for him.
