Taking the kids to the Livarot cheese fair.
I expect this to be something they will remember for many years."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

All the talk about sky yesterday, I basically stopped watching cricket for years when they got it but they do a real good job... The half hour they spend before the start going through batter and bowler fields/options and the masterclasses they do are brilliant.
Must be great for a kid or someone who coaches kids to see stuff like that when sitting on couch stuffing their face
*They do need to hire the BBC or RTE music guy though, as their music choices, while nice, are always fairly obviousLast edited by Guest; 03-08-19, 10:00.

Got a nasty bout of food poisoning, guessing from 3x oysters I had as a starter.
Went to bed relatively early, idea being not to peak too early in the long weekend. Was looking forward to running Brighton and Hove parkrun.
Woke at 3am doubled up in pain. Spent the next four hours camped on our host's bathroom floor trying to get some sleep in between bouts of my body violently evacuating everything from it from both ends.
Nasty. Body did a good job of clearing it though as I feel ok now. Horrible shit.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

The smell of them coming out of a jacks at 5am causing me to puke more than I probably would have means they were the last oysters I've ever ate.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

As for hearing of them, they haven't had an slbum for 13 years, have never been on streaming platforms until yesterday. have an album coming out in a few weeks so the streaming stuff was great marketing.
The albums are pretty different, here is some person's view on reddit:
Everyone will have different opinions, because the albums all have different vibes and people enjoy them in different orders.
Here is an easy break down (that is subjective, and largely my own interpretation. Grain of salt needed). Choose what you think you'd enjoy most and perhaps start there.
Opiate: Earliest work. Very rough around the edges, and not a good point of entry. It's good, of course, but not where you should begin in my opinion. The theme mostly centers around resentment toward religion and ideology.
Undertow: The first major release, recorded at Sound City (a legendary studio if you aren't familiar). Not as musically complex as later works, which has a lot to do with having the original bass player on this album. He was replaced with our beloved Justin, who really did bring a new dimension to the music. This album focuses on pain, abuse, anger, and sort of wallowing in the muck of it all. It's about acknowledging issues and bringing them to the surface. Notable tracks are Bottom, 4 degrees, and Prison Sex. There is an incredible duet between Maynard and Henry Rollins in Bottom.
Aenima: From this point forward, Tool has really developed and favorite albums can range from any of these going forward for most people. Their talent in Aenima on, musically, is (arguably) unmatched in their own way. Aenima is about purging the inner demons brought up in Undertow, and then some. It's full of Jungian psychology and acknowledging the need for inner growth. Songs like Pushit, Jimmy, H, and 46+2 specifically tackle these issues beautifully. They are some of Tool's best work (again, in my opinion). This album is absolutely a prime starting point, and my recommendation.
Lateralus: The spiritual album. This is after the inner work, and the realizations that came of it. This is the awakening. Songs like Lateralus, the Grudge, Parabola - just incredible masterpieces. Most fans that I've spoken to consider this their greatest album and work to date. I can't say I disagree. This entire album is a masterpiece.
10,000 Days: The album of reflection and healing, and the most mature of the albums. Incorporating all of what the others went through, which are direct reflections of Maynard's journey and mental state. That's why he hides on stage. He has said that he is only 1 of 4 instruments, and not a focal point or a front man in the traditional sense, but also that these songs are incredibly personal and raw for him. They are not frivilous. They're personal. Through his albums, we've watched him evolve, grow, and heal, and he helped many of us to do it alongside him through interpreting of the songs in a way that works for you. a TOOL for your own growth, if you will.
Notable songs on 10,000 Days (a reference to how long his mother suffered in her condition following an aneurysm that occurred when he was 11 years old - also referenced in a handful of other songs, like Jimmy, "Judith" by A Perfect Circle, etc.) are Wings for Marie 1+2 (listen to them back to back as it's intended), Reflection, Rosetta Stoned, and Vicarious.
Salival is a live album, with some variation on past songs. Notably, Pushit is amazing on this short, live album. Not a good starting point, but Tool porn for fans.
That's my own breakdown, and FULL of my own subjective opinion, but I hope it helps you decide where to start. Welcome to Tool, man.
Some cool fan made videos here:
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Had oysters in Cancale recently. As I'd say most people know it's the most famous home of oysters. Couldn't shake the feeling that Howth's oysters are better. Where does Howth get their oysters from? (please don't say Cancale)"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Decent article in the IrishTimes today about Uigher situation in Xinjiang.
Journalists & diplomats allowed a state visit to some centres recently, the numbers are staggering, nothing about the organ harvesting but incredible how much the region is monitored by Chinese government

I've never heard any person in real life moaning about the latter though. Probably says something for the company I keep.

One day cricket is about scoring quickly. It doesn't much matter how but you have to attack.
Test cricket is chess. One day cricket is snap."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

We have a kids bed that looks a bit like this. As it is drab as fuck, we got a cover for the top of the bed to drape down over the sides and make it feel nice.
What is the word for something like that?
IKEA suggests 'bed tent' but thats a whole different idea to what this thing is. The type of thing I'm looking for fits like a fitted sheet on the top.
The closest I got was 'canapy', but that seems like a whole different idea.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.
