Masterchef 2017
BazBaz
Baz I've decided that the way the programme is formulated these days is spoiling it ....I preferred it ....and think it was much fairer...when they had sections such as the palate test , and ingredients test....that way contestants had to do more than cook their own ethnic cuisine all the way through .

Portmanteau

Roger the Alien Now that's some top class trivia, ta Eugene ! I've seen Fred Hoyle in documentaries, never guessed at that though [ more ]
Eugene's Lair That's right: in cinema, "portmanteau" is basically a fancy way of saying an "anthology film". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthology_film As for culture: here in the UK, the best known examples are probably those made in the 60s by Amicus, the "other" British horror studio after Hammer. Having said that, "Dead of Night" was made much earlier by Ealing. One of it's more bizarre contributions was as the inspiration for Fred Hoyle's Steady State model of the universe - now widely rejected in... [ more ]

Jen-Star Just gonna leave this here This shows the way these two politicians have VOTED on a range of issues over their careers. Not what they've said about it to television cameras, not what newspapers have told you. This is the way they've voted when it's come down to it. [ more ]

Who Do You Think This Is ?
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Eugene's Lair Ah; now there's a story... At the time, Noel stated in interviews (e.g. with the NME) that "Wonderwall" was indeed written about Anais' mother, Meg Matthews (who was his girlfriend at the time). However after they divorced he claimed that wasn't true, and the press had made it all up... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...ll_(song)#Background [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities The only caveat I would say is make sure he is reputable or ensure there is no material that can be traced back to your home. You see too many programmes where these guys take your cash and dump your waste in all sorts of places - fly tipping! [ more ]

Bank text 'smishing' scam
Jen-StarJen-Star
Jen-Star The thing that got me about this scam is that the messages can appear in the same 'thread' if you like as the previous messages sent by your bank.... I'm suspicious of anything to do with bank accounts and being contacted by anyone in relation to it. I may have thought it was really from the bank though! Would never click and enter my details but i might have contacted the bank concerned rather than brushing it off as a scam. [ more ]
El Loro Saint, I get many phone calls and emails from people trying to scam me but it's been many years since any of them succeeded. When I first signed up for the internet some time in the late 1990s I got an email the following day from the ISP wanting me to confirm my credit card details for the charges. I replied as I hadn't been aware of that sort of scam. But afterwards I wondered and I got in touch with the ISP and they confirmed it was a scam. So I got in touch with the credit card company...

Other countries exiting the EU

Garage Joe It's quite fascinating! Not only do a lot of the rabid Brexiteers want to spoil our economy but they wish to see the EU collapse. So far the Germans and Dutch have rejected the fruitcake parties and one can only hope that Johnny Frenchie does the same. [ more ]
Carnelian I doubt any nation will leave the EU once they see how utterly stupid the UK is in following Brexit. Most EU countries don't have right wing foreign press barons who couldn't give a damn about British people running their media like we have. [ more ]

Quiz: How well do you know your Glasgow bands?
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I actually like feedback in fact there was a period in time when I was into a band called Spaceman 3 and also a chap called Sonic Boom and other associated acts. I Recall a gig at the Leadmill where one song seemed to be 20 mins long, we had bright lights trained on us, everyone sat on the floor and we were presented with a song consisting of rhythmic repetative chords with lashing of feedback and sustain until we were enveloped in the sound. Truly marvellous. [ more ]
Eugene's Lair This was their biggest hit - Top 20 in 1986. Actually, "Taste of Cindy" would be my first choice, however the heavy use of feedback as a musical instrument - despite being the defining characteristic of the Mary Chain's style - can be a bit off-putting to some. "Killermont Street" is a long-standing personal favourite, but as the band behind it is the answer to Question 12, I'll post it in the "What are you listening to right now?" thread... [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Trouble is that it seems to be thought, these days, that if the post code starts with a 'G' then it is Glasgow and that if there is no break in the 'built-up' area from the centre of Glasgow then it is Glasgow.
