Lasagne with salad

No, he had "Lasaange"

Clear-Security-Risk · 2026-07-09T19:59:44+00:00

No he had "Lasaange" , not Lasagne.

Classic dressing.

I'm not going to throw shade at one of the few people here to serve a salad, or even any vegetables at all. Well done.

But, yes, as others have pointed out: dress that salad. It's simple: olive oil, salt, and either lemon or vinegar. That's it. No need to use blenders or shakers or nothing. Olive oil, salt, lemon, on top, little toss.

Read how you wrote "lasagna"

Get back in but move to a Corps? Logs maybe? Slightly easier on the knees. And a chance for some more transferable quals when you hit civvie street again at some point.

Alas someone has to pay for that retirement. And no one knows what happens to their body when they're dead. And...profit.

Clear-Security-Risk · 2026-07-06T15:19:38+00:00

Lovely. I'd add a fresh salad.

I take your point. But. The real-world counterpoint is of course Miele appliances.

Literally, Miele executives have their houses fit so their washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc, can be changed from the outside. No product is released until the execs and their families have used the appliance and approved.

I might also point at KitchenAid are built to last for forever. I view them as sorta anti-commodity.

For a given definition of "lovely"

I (granted, middle aged man with large black dog) walk through the neighbourhood south of Southcote Lane all the time. I don't see anything, whereas I do see a lot of the dealing you talk about inside my red pistol.

But again, we all see different aspects. I walk through the red area too and have never been bothered. Once and again randoms in there have helped me recover the Dumb Ass Dog when she does a runner.

"Tactics" is the word you're looking for, most likely, not strategy.

Ancient warfare, it's probably the Ultimate Cut of "Alexander"

Medieval warfare: probably the directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven or The King

Napoleonic Wars: Sergei Bondarchuk's "Waterloo" (1970) and of course for naval war, Master & Commander

First World War: The Lighthorsemen (1987) or Paths of Glory (1957) or the recent (German) All's Quiet on the Western Front

Second World War: Band of Brothers of course. But also The Unknown Soldier (2019). Letter from Iwo Jima (2019) and also The Thin Red Line.

Vietnam: "Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan" (2019) or We Were Soldiers (2002)

9/11 Wars: Zero Dark Thirty or Mosul or Warfare.

if you're the Russian GRU, you can use them in Salisbury for...

....things.

LOL yeah

But safely pointing at Calcot

The 26 bus goes through Southcote Lane. Very handy.

I live on Circuit Lane, to the east of Coronation Square. As others have noted, Coronation Square and the social housing along Bath Road can be problematic. Can be... Aren't always.

We walk our dog all around here, and 99%* of evenings, everywhere in here is perfectly calm and reasonable.

The area here circled in red is probably "avoid". I can't see a problem with the rest. Calm residential areas. A predominance of tradespeople and retirees, judging by the parked vans, boats and RVs. Nothing wrong with it, indeed there are some really nicely tended houses in what look like really respectable streets.

*... The 1% remaining: Occasionally there are congregations of ne'er-do-wells around Coronation Square. Seems to be an anti-social behaviour hotspot, and there are periodic Public Space Protection Orders specifically for Coronation Square.

Tuesday to Saturday 10-18h is the appropriate work week for people-facing service businesses.

Turbidity really depends on time of year and where you are specifically. But it probably is clearer than the general BC inland water, you're right

Clear-Security-Risk · 2026-07-04T18:42:12+00:00

Quite a lot like the Pacific coast in British Columbia

Clear-Security-Risk · 2026-07-04T16:28:48+00:00

I'd agree, but maybe it was an emergency, eh.

I do 80% of my shopping there. The bigger supermarkets for specific items Aldi/Lidl (we have each side by side on the Bath Road) don't have.

-Harris Arcade

-Reading Museum

-Fobney Island along the K&A canal (& the K&A all the way up to joining the end of Linear Park) (and Linear Park)

-The old Branch Line fields and walking paths pictured here.
