Basically trying to spoil our national park

Seems appropriate from Fluffgar. I’m terrible with real wool, have shrunk any items I’ve owned. Which is a real shame, as a Fair Isle knit would go down very well at the moment!

Gonna leave this here then. The most beautiful track in years imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slWcQORjPUk

And going back slightly more

Plenty of beauty to be found in metal. Agalloch, Within Temptation, Pain of Salvation, Mastodon, Insomnium, latest Avenged Sevenfold album are all dripping with exultation, sonorific emboldenment, and discernment around life, death, relationships, our natural environment

Equally, would love to hear about other genres with metal touches. Hmm, perhaps a metallica cover from someone strange next Monday!

Heh, gate keeping has always been a thing in the metal community. It’s better these days, but don’t let anyone else tell you what is trash or not

Think I found my Metallica Monday track for today!

Great to see Edinburgh and Glasgow winning, great start from a Scottish perspective. Now to back it up next weekend and be pole position for home lasr 16s

Didn’t change any positions, they started on different tyres. No problems

Fairly uneventful in the end. Norris doing what he and McLaren should have done 2 races ago and played it safe. Great to see, and he’s a fantastic new winner

Thanks, really well hidden feature here for someone I’m sure

Ooh, got any links on how Leap does this? My searching isn’t yielding much

Turn 1 spiceyness. Max ending up with Oscar behind him, but some minor damage so only just. Norris keeping clean, but running 4th. Max pits early for alt strat and new front wing. Then has to hunt. And he does, car after car taken each lap and he’s back in 4th himself. With Russell in 3rd having taken fresh tires himself. Oscar beside himself with the 1st, but Norris still keeping it clean and managing the gap. Then we see Russell go wide in a strange corner, blaming a wind gust/back marker. Max takes 3rd and Norris is next. Norris basically pulls over to let him through, wasting no time at all on Max. Oscar now sweating bullets does the same, tries to back Lando up to Russell, who does not want anything to do with being kingmaker. Retires the car so much so. Then Tsunoda is there, in 4th and he wipes out both McLarens on the last corner in a very obvious team call. Meaning the FIA have to decide: scrap the last lap from standings or let it stand. Lawyers are armed and ready, this to be the most legally fought for racing lap in history with the FIA announcing a special last 2 lap shoot out to occur in 2h instead. All cars in park ferme to receive 2L of fuel and to start on the grid in 2h in last but one lap order. Then Lance stroll, somehow in 5th himself, causes a last lap 10 car pile up and causes a red flag. Shoot out is declared void and last 2 laps too, meaning Lando takes it

Popcorn at the ready

Yeah, totally is. There’s a reason nobody publishes diffs

We are underprepared in the west for sure. But that’s probably all right. One of the big points from WW1 was that large standing millitaries meant they needed to be used. Armies beget war as much as any other factor. This is why NATO is so important. The collective force of it means that we don’t need to be as prepared. Which has seen unprecedented levels of peace in the west since its inception

Patching means rebuilding. And packagers don’t really publish diffs. So it’s use all your bandwidth instead!

Port of Leith Pedro Ximenez my top tip for sherry for you, amazing stuff. Nearly did my back in hauling my tree down the street last night, it is muckle!

The PTA obviously mean well, but the hall was way beyond capacity too. Suspect takings well down with the switch

Nice one. Is the ice rink still standing by the beach? I know the pool has been demolished!

School fair the now for me. They’ve gone cashless and fucked it up, massive queues!

Tree is in, decorating the morn. But needing some exercise aifter double work party week! Swim early doors for me

Then it’s the F1 finale and rugby this weekend too. Sportstastic, come on Lando!

I’d sooner take France than Ireland at the moment, far too many years of hurt

Argh, fucking Ireland again!
