Damn you guys are good at this sexual bread product naming. I can't think past 'hot cross buns'.

buggeringbakers to the lot of you!

Are scones more genteel than bagels?

Oh wait... more /gentile/ I suppose!

Have you heard the phrase "take a flying fuck at a rolling donut"? Well this is far more concise. Maybe the wrong phrase for Lyer25.

@Jinxy245 Oh god I'm so stealing that one :))

Reminds me of Q.I. when Stephen Fry asks about the sphincters of the participants. Very nudge-nudge, wink-wink to proceed with the statement the the human body has so many sphincters that "nobody knows". Awkward and hilarious...

Are you sure that it's not the other way around? ;-)

My first thought was "Ah! Even the Dalai Lama has a guru!"

Mine was "the cat must be jealous his human has more lives".

Mine is a 6 vs2. But I also have the 3i that I bought in late 90s or early 2000s. Bought the new one because the old one failed. Later got the old one repaired. It sounds better!

I remember replacing a 120W amp with that 50(?)W 3i and wondering if it was a mistake. Turned it on and found it to be a glorious success! Never since have I heard such a difference between two amps!

6 vs2 repairs: the mute switch doesn't work. The remote does, so it must be the switch. I'll take it back next time I have to go that way.

Apparently I just missed @Koth Ganesh, with an Eddie Current amp, at the repair shop.

yep, I ran out of deoxit.

Sounds like you need some New Wave. Talking Heads only make so much sense. Even when Born Under Punches you can overcome. Find your Road To Nowhere...

Pass me that cactus when you've finished sucking it!

I listened to a couple of interviews on that guy's site. Interesting stuff. Makes a change from guys restoring shapers and machining shafts!

I've been reading quite a bit about various unconventional therapy options for depression, only one of which is legal in my country (Ketamine infusion.) Micro-dosing LSD and mushrooms in the morning is another one. I hope that in the future more research will be done, and if it truly is effective as some believe it to be, it will be an option.

Always very sad to lose a pet.

It actually did not seem such a severe injury, even to the vet. But it was worse than it looked, stuff got infected, and.

I now have the mother and one youngster. I think the mother has more street sense than to get involved with dogs. I'm thinking she would have run to the rescue. She's a heroine!

.
<-- Oh, I have the father too, of course.

Thank you @Colgin. I may be projecting, Hmm, probably am, but I suspect that his mum is missing him still. She did show a certain amount of favoritism.

Like Colgin, I missed this profile post. Condolences on the loss of a furry companion; may his memory never fade.

Thank you. He was such a characterful kitten. Unforgettable.

God bless God for making cats! I hope everything works out.

The other Kitten (Priya)... vet said get an xray. But had to go a different clinic die to his decorating. Different vet sad, not much wrong with her, x-ray fine, take her home.

Due to all that, missed seeing post-op Venki today. The news bulletin is that he's still alive. Will see him tomorrow.

Sending out good kittie vibes from the Ringingears household. Cats are tough human beings. Our 19 year old is hanging tough, even though she’s skinny as a rail.

It's good to have friends! :D

@geniekid, I'm not good at 'Exciting.' Can you make do with 'occasionally surreal?"

PM - I can give you some evasion tactics.

Well, earlier in the day I was confident about my youngster. Now I am not. In fact I'm very worried. Back to vet tomorrow. I'm /hoping/ for another telling off for worrying too much. But... his state is not good.

I went to sleep with sad doubts, but young cat very much alive today! More so than yesterday.

Still sufficiently concerned about below-skin swelling, and lack of eating to take him to the vet later.

Too early to count my chickens. Err... Cats.

Cat is, as people say here, admitted. At least overnight. He is much better in himself, but vet wants to further investigate this refusal to eat or drink, and think a bit more about whether or not to lance the fluid build up.

Oh... Yes, "Cat" has a name: Venki. Which is short for Vencat. Which is like Venkat, but not quite the same, because... he's a cat.

I shall say a prayer for its safe return, lol.

I miss my old Cyrus CD Player. Prayers for you.

Sorry mang.

.
<--- Let this fellow into garden. Although the same water was available in the house, first thing he does is drink a lot. So I guess I'm glad I let him out.

Then he has gone to his hiding place, which is not accessible to me, but at least I know where he is

Update on...
<-- This Fellow's Health.

More-or less all healed up now :)

I'm with you. I've only heard good speakers out of a proper vinyl rig a handful of times in my life so far but they thoroughly beat headphone audio, and those were store demos. Hope the repair man revives the integrated :)

I've heard a few good speakers in my time, some of them very good :)

I do not include the pair on my desk :(

lol

My possibly-fried Cyrus integrated amplifier has been checked into the local hospital today. As the controls have gone crazy, and that's all digital, I really fear that a proprietary chip may have fried.

Anyway, it couldn't be in better hands than those of Sayeed of Chennai --- who sends his regards to @Koth Ganesh

Great to see you again! Don't think you missed much that's interesting, save perhaps for someone not recognising Marvey :))

Hope you had a relaxing holiday. 6 weeks! My wife can take about a week, maximum. Once a year if she’s lucky.

Folks, I had a great holiday, although, for me, it is quite a long time for a home-lover to be away.
@Lyer25, I caught that yesterday. The LH Labs Droid doesn't know who Marvy/Purin is. The only thing that is not hilarious about that saga is the real money that real people are loosing

Wearing extra layers early in the day, but after that it is warming up nicely to low C 20s.

Getting warmer and warmer.
UK seems to have relocated to the tropics!

Let me put it another way ;)
London was not hot for me. It was almost my ideal temperature, and mostly ten C degrees less than Indian home!

In fact the 26/27C days, which made Londoners grumble... That is the temperature I set my Aircon to at home!

I did break into a sweat when I ran for a bus on one 30C day. Otherwise, fine. Lovely! Even 30C is comfortable.

Have a ball!

Cheers all.
Currently London shoping mostly. Met with an online friend from another forum this afternoon and evening and ate good food.

@Deep Funk, yes I have a towel.

It's a soft, fluffy, pink microfibre towel, such as Ford Prefect could not have imagined in his wildest dreams!

I'm ready for anything!

Needs to burn in a bit first for maximum flavor

I am ashamed to admit that whenever I see "stock", I either think markets or store inventory. Argh, I need to cook more!

@FallingObjects: Lightly browned?

@Biodegraded , what a genius comment!! Lol

My cat gets shit all over herself regularly and then does the butt scoot on the carpet to get it off.

Today, I could even say yes to the litter tray.

Tomorrow, I hope to be able to say no to that. But maybe ok sicking up grass on the floor. Especially as we have a maid to clean up after cats!

As to kissing after she takes a crap, Well... now you come to mention it, I'm not so sure about the tongue stuff. But kissing is academic today.

Hoping for a better tomorrow!
