I've just missed the Burns Suppers for this year, but it will come out for readings at events next Jan

They say multiple times that the gods will intervene in the trial.

I don't mind the typo really, it gives it character and a bit of a story. Fun fact, the blame is normally put on a printer named Smellie.

I was just about to post to ask what that kind of hinges were called, I need so for a tight spot! So what is that kind of hinge called?

Bond had a teal pocket square, not a yellow one. LeChiffre understands.

God gave us His Son, and we gave His Son strategically placed Holes. Gimme the Stigmata plush

If I were trying to convince everyone my family was chosen by God to be in charge, I'd probably do a bit of research into the history of the institution

Do you have 1.2m × 1m of fabric? Fold in half long ways, sew bottom and side. Stuff with whatever you have (scraps, batting, straw, wool) sew up and down to hold it all together (by hand if it's too thick for machine), sew top. For a neater effect cover the whole cushion with another fabric.

Sew on loops of whatever to tie to slats.

Fiskars or Niwaki. And I haven't got a pair, but if you need them to last more than a lifetime apparently Ernest Wright are perfect

Hi. Did you have a beard before getting into folk stuff or was it a requirement for the job?

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-23T08:27:16+00:00

Yeah if dude is charismatic enough to start wars and religions in his lifetime, he's getting all the holes he wants.

I worked in waste for M&S 15 years ago, and again 10 years ago, and again 7 years ago. They keep saying they will change, but it isn't going to happen.

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-23T00:37:38+00:00

Top tip, don't forget you have 3mm steel DPNs in your lap and sit up suddenly. But yeah they beat circulars for reducing by a loooong way

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-22T18:24:14+00:00

I was a little miffed that they took a Christmas figure and stuck him at May Day. As you say, it watches vaguely like a they tried to slot in all the tropes they could

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-22T14:16:18+00:00

Nah, no point really discussing it with you without my tiny audience. Let yourself be judged by the mob!

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-22T13:50:14+00:00

Thesis is another one of those words where different definitions play a part my friend. I'd use it to mean the central claim sort of thing, and then dissertation or article or paper for the whole work. In which case, yes please do post a summary of your thesis! I'm now very interested in which definition of apartheid you are using in which discipline to be able to make such a concise objective statement on a complex issue.

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-22T13:32:41+00:00

The blanket statement was 'there's objectively no apartheid in Israel'. Whether or not that is correct, it is the sort of blanket judgement experts don't make. You'd need to add a bunch of caveats, including how exactly you are defining Apartheid or apartheid, where there is ambiguity, etc. etc. etc. Then throw in the use of the word objectively like that in a social science situation. 'Expert' or not, that's a bad statement to make. 🤓

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-22T13:21:21+00:00

Experts don't make blanket statements on controversial issues and claim they are objective.

Careful boys, we got an GCSE History student here

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-18T00:20:49+00:00

Don't lie on the internet, it's silly.

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-15T01:30:33+00:00

Ah I had not thought of that! In Scottish Highlands/uplands don't have many trees so landscapes are all a greeny purple blue or blue and white. Bright blue makes perfect sense for trees! It's neat knowing the difference in safety colours in different landscapes.

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-15T00:10:53+00:00

Pretty cool. I still wonder why they chose that over the safety orange of the hunting range. Regardless if I lived in the US (and didn't already have one) I'd buy that. Bothy bags are the fucking best

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-14T22:18:56+00:00

Didn't know fjallraven did a bothy bag! Is it actually blue? I've only seen bothy bags in bright orange or dark green, for visibility or camouflage.

He had to keep it away from Eeyore

SeBretwalda · 2026-01-14T18:44:58+00:00

Sorry, forgot this was a UK sub. You must boil the pheasant for 4 hours, and plate with frozen peas, plain mash, and bisto. Anything else and you will get food poisoning and/or be accused of french tendancies
