For those who can't see the links above Alison has a little rest by leaning on a wall: ....but more tired than she thought she needs a sit down instead: and my favourite, where Alison proves she'll beat any of you at a game of "…

What`s the last film you watched ?
OBLIVION i have to say, its one of my favourite sci-fi films of the last 10-15yrs. Joseph Kosinski should only be allowed to direct sci fi films from now on. his work on Tron Legacy was great, and Oblivion's "look" is just as slick. n…

Love that song @recurrentdream and the Biophillia app is great fun too :) I'm still going through that as it's only just appeared for Android recently - it really is a great blend of music, information and the general left-field approac…

How do you feel today?
I stink of marjoram. Odd, but true. There is nothing wrong with that in the slightest, better that than lavender. Yeah, too much of that isn't actually that pleasant at all! Talking of not pleasant, less stress best be directed at HJ!

I've heard you can take the flowers and stick them in olive oil for a week to make a really concentrated flavour for cooking with etc? Anybody know their herbs and can confirm I'm not falling for some false info? You can and leave it to…

Can't say I've been an Uber Gaga I intend to pick up a CD at least at some point in my life hopefully eh ;) Yeah, I've always more just admired the fact she was good at what she does rather than liking what it actually was that much…

Sometimes it's nice when a release confirms everything you already love or hate about an artist but, in many ways, it's when just the opposite happens that it's most fun. Just watched the new Lady Gaga video and thought it was excell…

Super! Nature Notes
My indoor kitchen marjoram seems to be going flower-crazy. It's gone from tiny little white hairs to full on flower heads in only a few days. Just used a heap of leaves to flavour some steamed rice and I now stink of the stuff. You only have to…

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
First signs of how close it's getting - HMV has put some previous album CD's out with a "Tales Of Us, Coming September 9th" underneath. As they don't do this for every new album, instead concentrating on a handful for each …

"The tiny white dot in the middle of the pink snail is the moon" Often when people say that sort of thing they're the only ones who can see the whatever but nope, in this case that is indeed a giant pink snail!

What`s the last film you watched ?
It's trashy, it's formulaic.....and oddly enough I rather liked it! Finally got round to watching this:- Far more known names in it than I first realised - Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, Drew Barrymore, Juliette Lewis amongst others. Despit…

What's The Weather Like?
Today was meant to be a lovely day compared with yesterday so I'm up early, have had breakfast and my walking boots are on & laced.......and it's just rained. This could go either way between here and when I hit the coast. Sigh.

Sexy Women
Did no one ever answer that, Carpy?!!?! Of course, YES. What makes Ms. Hepburn such an icon, to me (hmmmm, maybe same with Alison), is that her beauty on the inside exceeds her beauty on the outside, which is nothing to easily disregard. A gent…

Suddenly I realise how bloody weird I am, with all my little ways and that....plus having a bed in the living room. It's only in the last few years that I'm realising that these quirks are the things that make me not somebody else and …

trying to cut down if i can..... that damn comfort eating..... Find healthy things with biiiig flavours that you love so you can still comfort eat but with smaller portions & a happy heart.

Wow, we got spammed
A well done spam fritter is actually pretty nice. That's where my spam-praise ends, though!

Board fault / improvement collation thread.
However many times I post on here, my post count remains at 4.Worry not, it isn't just you - it seems to have happened fairly early on in a lot of users accounts. It'll suddenly catch up when you get a few more on the clock. No idea why b…

Television....
Conflicted is a good word for it, whisperit. I've watched it all so far and the last one is set to record but I can't shake the nagging feeling that a shorter, simpler & better story is itching to shake free of how it ended up on tv. …

Ohhhhh, "plan b". Mwaaahahaha! Sounds like we're keeping the box marked 'secret' over the top of Plan B for now. It can be unleashed at any moment, though. Oh, yes.

Korean food is so, so different in taste to others and I'm quite a fan. When we got our first Korean grill house here I was well happy!

What Are You Eating?
My Korean lunch - the reason I'm sooooooo full right now. A pot of rice tea, some iced 'Morning Sunshine', lettuce with seasoned soybean paste and a bit hot-stone bowl of super spicy tofu, kimchee & tuna stew.

A lot of Korean food. Nothing left to show for it though, already.

Suggestions For Other Music.
At the moment, and knowing this place, I'm going to say Moon Wiring Club. Imagine if Chris Morris produced albums somewhere between early Art Of Noise and Boards of Canada but themed around strange 60's and 70's tv series, cake, cats…
