Corcra aon (agus corcra dó)

Doesn't he look a bit like a cross between Don Conroy and a drawing of an owl by Don Conroy, all the same.

Well, Johnny Fox's is gonna be feckin' packed.

ça j'appelle un coup de poutine

This is not a real quote. Please stick to the endless supply of genuine jaw-droppingly inhumane quotes from the regime.

It's a good/very good album. But give Animals a proper listen first (released same year), and that will provide the perspective needed to bring it down a peg or two. I woudn't go so far as to say there's any "filler" on Rumours, but it sure ain't all killer imo.

Haha, aye, of course. I just meant, as up themselves as they can get about other nations' food, not all of their own "cuisine" is all that hifalutin 🙂

Believe it or not, sausage and creamed potato is a regular menu item over here!

Irish toad-in-the-hole obviously far better than the original Yorkshire version anyway. Just no baitin' them Superquinn toads!

Ah, so you are on bluesky, just somewhat incognito! Was just citing your Varieties book in a footnote and got to wondering if you were on here 🙏

"its author" did nothing of the sort! (à ce qu'il sache). Oh wait, now that I scan around the interface, I see there is a wee thing that seems to be defaulted to 'français'. j'accuse myself.

Before I was born, my folks lived in Yorkshire for quite a while, so both the puds and the toad-in-the-hole were semi-regular visitors to the table when I was a kid. Have to say... still love 'em both ba gum! Also didn't know until I was about 12 that "chip butty" wasn't a universal term 👀

There is an excellent fan-edit available, out there on the webs, called the M4 edit. It sticks as closely to the book as possible and trims Jackson's "trilogy" down to one epic ~4 hour movie.

Cool vid. If I could give one piece of purely constructive criticism, it'd simply be to... forget about the bad faith mob entirely. Personally, I would have been even happier watching an essay that simply presented the chiastic dimension, without premising it on correcting uncharitable philistines 🙏

Bien trouvé ! 😅

Shot for muskets..?

Plutôt décapsuler que décapiter 🙏
