Chumbles messaged me angry about what he perceived to be mocking comments about Sahar Tabar. It would appear he has decided to take time out from the 'box, whether temporarily or permanently I don't know.

Without looking back, I'll wager Mr Tiddles' unclean fiver that it was 100% Shenguin's fault. |

Bloggie left as he realised it was he who messed up Gongfarmer's pc hard drive at work and it would all get a bit awkward if it came out. It's that or something else work related.
I'm listening to Guy Garvey on 6Music. Like his show, good music & decent chat. Still can't stand Elbow though. Which I now feel bad about.
Currently constructing creamy chicken pie.

Refusing to take my own advice, I'm finding that the Guardian article and the accompanying picture that kicked everything off seems to be quite misleading in that it claimed that Sahar Tabar was aiming to look like Angelina Jolie and that her look was the result of cosmetic surgery alone.
First of all, she is (or rather was, since her account has since been deleted) aiming to create on Instagram the look of a zombie version of Angelina Jolie, so this is indeed deliberate and not the result of cosmetic surgery gone wrong.
Secondly, while there is some cosmetic surgery involved, I'm somehow reassured that the effect is mainly achieved with makeup and photoshop, the latter particularly obvious in the improbable pictures showing her with a skeletal body.
Rogue cosmetic surgery exploiting harmful unobtainable beauty ideals and mental health issues concerning body dysmorphia are obviously very serious issues that come into play here, which is why people were rightfully concerned about Tabar's state of mind. However, maybe it is her run-in with the Iranian authorities that we should be most concerned about.

Shame about Grumbles, I rather enjoyed his tales of torture at the hands of nursey and also his mighty bonce spaghetti. Mostly the torture, though. I find it difficult to believe he flounced because of some mocking on here, as this is the place for that sort of thing. Just ask that cock-nosed git Shenguin . Tuffers You can keep that soiled fiver, it's got form. |

Chicken pie was a delight.
A delight I tells you.
Basically onion, mushroom, carrot, chicken, garlic cooked in white wine with a little stock crumbled in and a wee dod of tomato paste. Some frozen peas and then at the end some creme fraiche and a little pimenton. Decant (ha!) To an oven dish and cover with mashed potato. Shove in oven for 20 mins.
Probably even better with leek instead of onion.

Oh god.
As it is wet and drizzly here I spent a happy pissed afternoon burning up a humongous pile of garden rubbish... mostly tree branches/ivy/ brambles etc. Nothing malignant or nasty.
I have just had a full A4 diatribe posted through my door by some anonymous climate change activist re my destruction of the atmosphere and impending planetary eco-collapse. I will post it here when I get some charge back in my phone for the perusal of the hive. Sometimes I wished I still had the 7 litre Pontiac so I could ' take it to the tip' as he/she suggests. From the handwriting I'd guess teenage girl. What does she think they do to garden rubbish at the tip?

Not burn it in a residential area? Sorry, I dunno where you live but I'm assuming a built up area. At least it was drizzly.
My neighbour diagonally out the back has ruined several almost dry washings by burning garden waste. I've had to redo the said washing taking time and money. Happened at least once every summer since we moved here.
We get garden waste picked up every week by the council. Anyway...

I do pay the council for garden waste disposal, however 1 bin every 2 weeks barely covers weeds and lawn clippings. Branches etc are outside their remit, and I have a big garden with many trees. What is too small for the woodburner gets burnt, and the ashes go in with the compost heaps. My conscience is clear.

The porridge defeat is humiliating. At least we thumped San Marino at football, though there is some suspicion that they were in fact us in disguise.
