Wonderfully nihilistic, i hate when people have these pseudo-intellectual tattoos of some shallow "meaningful" expression that everyone's heard a million timesIndeed, and thank you, I'm really pleased with it. Will eventually get it added too - not a sleeve but a continuation of sorts on my upper arm, ending on the back of my right shoulder (parsley, thyme and a cluster of mushrooms, respectively). this is all a bit contradictory to me and i'm willing to accept that i just don't understand the thinking behind it. (sorry to the bearer) i suppose this phrase means as much as the egg behind the fence does? ie: nothing, there's no point, it just is... but doesn't this tattoo fundamentally contradict nihilism? if so, then it's as pseudo intellectual as any other shallow meaningless expression whether you've seen it a million times or not. i'm genuinely interested, if asking for explanation makes me a cunt then so be it. i'd say if you can't handle someone asking, genuinely interested in the thought behind the writing on your arm, then you're a bit of a cunt yourself. you're perfectly at liberty to simply reply "it's personal" or "mind your own business" or even "fuck off you cunt" if you don't want to explain. (last bit to essines). No offence taken at all! I get a lot of very mixed feedback from it. To be honest the intention wasn't to convey nihilism particularly... Well, perhaps realism verging on nihilism. There was a thought process involved; It's a combination of two quotes, the latter part taken from my favourite writer Dylan Thomas, who you could say was rather nihilistic. I like the way the two quotes both contradict each other, and yet harmonise also - they flow nicely into each other, especially when said aloud - audio aesthetics is a big factor. The first part, said by Cartier-Bresson with regard to artistic expression, followed by a rather forgettable yet all-emcompassing statement in Thomas' Under Milk Wood - in which he is describing the daily activities of a small Welsh Villiage - declaring it all well, futile and meaningless, but in quite an exquisite and poetic way is all part of the joke. Life is meaningless and futile, especially if you don't have your own idea of a higher power or purpose on Earth. But live life we do. This probably sounds really wanky on my part. But that one line from Under Milk Wood (which you can't even find reference to online it's that unimportant) managed to stay with me. And to be honest, it helps me to chill the fuck out when I do get into a neurotic/nihilistic mindset. Oh, and I like thistles. it's clearly very personal to you and i can accept that the words may be nihilistic without necessarily contradicting the act of getting a tattoo. also thistles are cool. thanks for the explanation!

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light, and telescope. Unless it's bedtime, when it's ok to use a night light.

you're getting some lines of writing (don't know what) on your body (don't know where) and you want to know what people think about that? as long as it's in nice calligraphy i'm sure noone will give a shit. I was asking for opinions on where to get it. Sorry I realise I didn't make that quite clear. The text is the following; However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Font suggestions would also be good too actually. definitely comic sans.

spiced chicken sandwich isn't the least bit spicy.

good you got reimbursed. i just wondered how they'd account for (write off) the money.

... I didn't know this could be done. "hey boss-person, I need money for drinks and frivolity and shite" "ok" lol what kind of business is it?

well blow me down, he received his camera earlier than expected and everything seems legit. Please let her know that a panel of electronic music enthusiasts registered a protest with the sunflower judging board, and our inquiry is pending.

yeah that's what i said but it's also the smallest so i lose.

having a 'sunflower race' and my sunflower is deformed with 2 heads, much to the delight of mrs.k...

I only heard this week they were opening over here. This weekend, I'm there! yeah i heard they were opening. any good fenton?

that's it i'm making burgers this weekend. slightly related... had a steak sandwich the other day and the guy asked if i wanted mustard, i said yes please, then he asked if i wanted horse radish sauce... mustard AND horse radish sauce? i'm not sure i could appreciate either of those strong flavours while all mixed up together. and i would have picked horse radish given the choice from the start. surely it's either/or when it comes to mustard v horse radish?

Well, I don't know if you know this but most olive oil sold at the grocery is not actually olive oil, and a lot of it is allowed to spoil as well. (before being bottled) Secondly, consuming PUFA's (poly-unsaturated fatty acid) that have been allowed to oxidize (cooked at high heat) is not good for you. I think actual pure olive oil is safer, because it is something like 8% PUFA, but like I said before, you aren't using real olive oil most likely. (like a 70% chance you aren't unless you are very discerning consumer) So, some good alternatives are almond and avocado. Coconut oil is one of the best for cooking because it has a very low PUFA content. (like 2%) Putting oxidized meats and fats into you body is bad for you because it causes lots of free radicals and cancer and shit. A good way to combat this when consuming cooked meat is to take some vitamin C beforehand. It is anti-oxidant and will help fight those cancer causing elements. Or you could just use grassfed butter all the time for cooking. Here is some reference. http://www.kumc.edu/school-of-medicine/integrative-medicine/health-topics/healthy-cooking-oils.html http://butterbeliever.com/what-is-pufa/ heating olive oil is fine, burning it isn't so good. decent extra virgin olive oil has a higher smoking point than low quality stuff. those other oils you mention have a higher smoking point so you're less likely to burn them. basically don't burn your food and you don't need to worry too much. I imagine most people burn their olive oil though. Anything above medium will most likely cause it to smoke (at least on my burner). It is also pretty hard to cook any type of meat without burning unless you do it on lower heat and for longer a period of time. Most people don't have the patience or see the necessity for it. well i don't concern myself with all this alarmist stuff anyway. i like to cook a steak high and fast so there's good charring colour outside and juicy red flesh inside. no oil in the pan at all, just a light rub on the steak before seasoning.

spot on patto!

my dad's bought a camera online from a dodgy company in hong kong. there's terrible reviews all over the internet about ripping people off, sending used, reconditioned, faulty or fake goods, zero support, non-existent warranty, the list goes on and on... no matter how much i warn him about this stuff, he still thinks he's got a bargain. a £260 camera for £190 is too good to be true! :siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh:

pour apple juice on it?

Sorry but I read that in the voice of Rab C Nesbitt and it wasn't sexy. Should have tried for Gerard Butler (oooooooohhhhh Gerry!!!). If you'd read it in Sean Connery's voice, you totally could have taken a poop on isaki. i got it.

punches myself in the face punches everyone in the box is that matthew barney in your av?

hot office, shit aircon, woman who talks complete and utter shit all day is back from her holidays.

i just had an amazing sandwich... baguette with pastrami, emental, homemade coleslaw & pickled gherkin. yum!

It is in a smallish country town and there is a garden round the back. I say we do have room for a tree. Previous owner built a stupidly big 2 storey garage over half the back garden though. I'd rather more garden less garage.
