i have two birds rotting in the back garden at the moment, i've a decent tolerance for that sort of thing (see my recent post in the DIY guitar making thread for context). and i was recently watching videos on youtube from durham hearing specialists, watching him pull gank out of people's ears...

oh, that sort of stuff is so cathartic.

yeah, nearly the second time in a few days i came close to losing due to multiple guesses at a single letter.

for anyone living on the northside, i've just found a new (to me) place with a good range of power tools and accessories, power tool repair services in finglas. they have every single router bit you could possibl conceive of, and all sorts of pro level tools. they claim to have fixed the...

We were once in a falconry in Cornwall, the lad there took in raptors seized by the RSPCA. Never would have lived in the wild, but being kept as pets by people who hadn't a clue how to care for them.

Jealous. Where did you see it?

from what i've seen, how difficult hills are is calculated by raising the slope by a factor of 2.5. e.g. doubling the slope increases difficulty by a factor of more than 5.

didn't know there were buzzards down there - we'd seen one occasionally over the botanic gardens though. i think i mentioned a pine marten was found as roadkill in drumcondra last summer; i suspect somewhere near griffith park.

griffith park in drumcondra? i.e. you're not in cork anymore?

John Grant must be going through tough times.

So who's in trouble here? A couple of lads doing some harmless urban exploration, or whoever had the job of ensuring all records were removed before the building was shut down...

TIL that there's a film adaptation of 'that they may face the rising sun' and it's out very shortly.
