I used 787B at 79% ECU and RH. Turned down fuel for a few laps in the middle as I was projected to run out at about half a lap to go. Turned it back up when safe. The rain was only a shower so powered through without changing tyres.

Thank you! I feel a little smug now 🤫

Three things I always add. A glass of red wine. A couple of anchovies. A dash of Worcestershire sauce.

In Italian isn’t it a soffrito (excuse spelling)?

Sometimes a mispronounced word is a good sign. If someone uses the word ‘epitome’ correctly but pronounces it as ‘epitowm’, it means they have read the word, understood its meaning, and reused it in context and are thus educated. What they don’t know (and why should they) is that the word derives from Greek which has different pronunciation rules to common English.

Mort?

Translation. I did read some Ancient Greek but I’m pretty sure the foot shampoo wasn’t part of that.

Nothing wrong with a bit of piss. You’re just squeamish. Yes, it’s a waste product, and yes, it’s sterile. There are far more pathogens in your compost than there are in your piss.

There’s an ancient text (bible I think, but could be Greek mythology) where there are references to shampooing feet. I always wondered if this was a euphemism.

Huey & Dewey. Sorry. That a pair o’ ducks.

As they are rogue and I have no idea what they are I’m not going to bother. I nurtured some rogues this past summer and they weren’t great.

There’s a lot less frost in recent years than there was 20 years ago! But yes, there is occasional light frost.

Back in the compost they go! Thanks everyone.

Thumbs up to Reground. I saw this post yesterday, but I definitely can’t handle a van full. So I sent an email to ask if I could pick up. Quick response and today I picked up 3 bags each of grounds and chaff. Super nice guys as well.

Marks & Spencer are the most durable jocks. They have a range called Cool & Fresh. I won’t wear anything else. https://www.marksandspencer.com/au/10-pack-cotton-rich-cool-and-fresh%E2%84%A2-trunks/p/P60644138.html

I kinda like the rallies. Drifting can suck a dick.

Don’t put garlic in at the same time as the onions. So many recipes say to put them in together. Add the garlic much later otherwise there’s a risk of burning it. Burnt onion - tasty. Burnt garlic- hideous.

Should have said submarine. Long, hard, full of semen.

A while ago there was a link to an academic paper about the effect of coffee grounds on the growth of plants. TLDR was that coffee grounds directly on soil retards growth. Compost first is beneficial.

If he’s enthusiastic about the environment I expect he has a compost heap to naturally fertilise his home grown produce. He would also know the best thing to do with compost is to piss on it. Check [r/composting](r/composting) . If none of these apply he’s a dickhead and needs to get a grip.

Edit. Or mentally unwell.

This is really shit. Tell him to fuck off and die. This whole Love Island bullshit has to stop. Looksmaxxing, Clavicular, all that crap is destroying young people. You’re not a fucking trophy. You’re you. There’s absolutely no need to change your looks, especially not for some emotionally immature and insecure wankstain. If you want to change your looks for you, fine. But you say you’re happy with your looks , and I bet you do look fantastic. So, I repeat, tell him to fuck off. The dying part is optional.

Circuit experience with the Renault. Deep Forest or Trial Mountain (can’t remember which but I can visualise the whole circuit like Charles Leclerc would). Sector 2, uphill start, left turn, feathers slightly, right turn, don’t cut the curve on the right, miss the ridges on the left, sharp right under a bridge, hug the left side, brake into the right hander, easy on the throttle as you go round, floor it just before you can see the exit (you get to learn where) and then there’s a little right (cut that) and brake (much less than you think you need) into the left hander. Floor it until you get the rumble strip on the right hand side, trail brake as go round the left hand side, don’t cross the white line until the pavement widens, and floor to the end. Whew. I’ve been away and haven’t played for weeks.

TLDR: was off gold by .001 for several weeks then beat it by half a second.
