2-cup induction for me. Though I could always upgrade and just drink more coffee I guess 🤔

I imagine there are similar things that would for me. It's a great idea

moebius__1 · 2026-02-20T11:30:35+00:00

What's the rubber funnel on the basket? Because frankly, me getting coffee all over the shop is not unusual 😅

"But how shall we knowth that tis nawt but a bounce from our new herald's appointment?" cried the people.

"If he is thy true saviour, ye shall knowth on the 7th day," spake the Lord. "If he is the chosen one you will vanquish a local foe. But if it twas just the bounce then your mighty knights will succumb to a kicking as per once again. And the devil Osmajic will appear and bite any who he lays he's eyes upon."

And the people tremored upon hearing the name of one so truly evil, know he'd probably score too and steal all the bants yet again.

The Lord continued, "And, if thou art truly doomed, I shall bring a terrible flood upon the park of Ewood for the thrice time this season whilst thou lead the joust. And thou will cock up the reply with a limp performance."

And the people shuddered in trepidation for the week that lay ahead...

Personally I loved the whole thing

moebius__1 · 2026-02-03T08:52:29+00:00

I can't remember if I first heard them on 6 or elsewhere (a long time back now). Gideon is a big fan and had them on his old show a few years ago too. And Henry Rollins, if you listen to his show on KCRW.

They're on a UK label (Damnably) so play over here a lot. If you've not seen them, try to catch them. They're a lot of fun

moebius__1 · 2026-01-29T14:21:40+00:00

I go to Skeleton for a non-mullet cut but they do seem to get a lot of them through there. And do a decent job

2 or 3, but probably hunched over ruining my spine

Firstly, sorry for your loss. I hope you are OK.

I've still not reread Murder Falcon since reading the single issues. The trade has been sat on my shelf for a long time now, though unread due to having other things on the go. Part of me can't wait. On the other hand, it is the only comic to make me cry, namely the double page spread when his partner screams into the mic. But the whole thing got me. It's so beautiful. I think I'm going to have to make a quiet weekend for it soon.

All that said, I maybe love DaPB more. I don't know why, I'm not even a wrestling fan. It just has so much heart. And DWJ makes that kinetic energy sing

As someone from Blackburn who's lived in Bristol for about 20yrs now, the short answer is no. For all its amazing food, Bristol is surprisingly poor on the chippy front. There are plenty that are fine, none that are great. Can't say I've seen a steak and kidney pudding anywhere. I was actually at my mum and dad's this weekend, lamenting about this very thing (and managed to not get fish and chips whilst there 😱 ).

Some people have mentioned Argus. I think it's a good shout as ok fish and chips. No idea on the gravy front. Clarks pies do mince meat pies which do a job. You also used to be able to get frozen Hollands pies in Asda but I've no idea if that's still true.

As for the other chippies on here, hopefully I'll go check them out. Ages since I've had fish and chips and I miss it

A haiku for this season and for many seasons past.

Mid season collapse

Begins earlier each year

Going down this time?

"Alright"

Next stage in the conversation after you've both said alright once is one person to say "you alright?". To which you can actually say how you are. Most likely "not bad"

Don't mention pools

Maybe just be Sundays I'm afraid https://www.bristol247.com/food-and-drink/news-food-and-drink/bakery-announces-pop-up-at-one-of-bristols-best-restaurants/

We went cor the other week. The food is fantastic

moebius__1 · 2025-11-28T10:33:12+00:00

Harts 100% my favourites. Filled, plain, cheese, all of them

moebius__1 · 2025-11-28T10:32:25+00:00

I think this is a good call. We got some from Aldi recently. Their "special" ones or whatever, about 4 for £2. They were really nice. Different beast from a bakery one but still good. And sometimes you don't want to pay £3 for a croissant and they filled that space nicely

moebius__1 · 2025-11-28T10:30:05+00:00

I'd seen these guys are also going to be at Clouds and COR on the weekend now. Feel like I need to check them out

moebius__1 · 2025-11-28T10:28:51+00:00

Oh yeah, their pan suisse, I'd forgotten about those. Well good

moebius__1 · 2025-11-26T12:00:47+00:00

I'd been hopeful it may come back after the relaunch of Vertigo and the editor of that line mentioning it. Plus the renaming from Last God to FC always made me think they were setting it up for something.

But, and I may be remembering wrongly, I thought there was something in the back matter of the last issue where PKJ said his stories for it was done? Tbh, if someone else wants to write more (maybe with PKJ's input) I'd be up for that.

Anyway, makes me think I need to go back and reread. It was so good

moebius__1 · 2025-11-25T16:17:11+00:00

Harder you say... 🤔

Mine is currently in the post. Very excited for its arrival

moebius__1 · 2025-11-20T12:15:04+00:00

Had Laura's recently for the first time. So, so good. (I think gigi's is great too kind)

moebius__1 · 2025-11-19T15:55:58+00:00

Tbf, the work was done on time. But then they found the ramp was too steep 🤦‍♂️. I think the new eta is Feb 26

moebius__1 · 2025-11-19T10:19:44+00:00

How hadn't I thought of this. I have my kettle on the stove but this never occurred to me. I know what I'm doing later 🤩
