    boris's stupid bike scheme

    A wee article in The Guardian yesterday, comparing the London scheme to the one in Paris.

    Cooking tips and wonderful flavour combinations

    Made a tasty basic chicken curry the other night, from the cookbook of one of Glasgow's longest running curry houses. After prep it only took an hour or something, could take less if you're not as obsessive an onion-sweater as myself. I'll fire up the recipe and pics of tonight's batch later on...

    simple video editing for mac/youtube?

    The standard blue background/white font is the Windows Movie Maker default setting isn't it? Must be piss easy to do something similar in iMovie, just place the text on the background and throw the track on, export for web... That said I wouldn't be surprised if someone had developed a tool to...

    Are you feeling the recession (yet)?

    The last thing they're going to do is give pubs any reason to make booze cheaper, as (IMO) the picture they paint of the binge drinking culture/problem is that of people spilling out of pubs at closing time and causing mayhem on the streets, something quite apart from the ASBO crew drinking down...

    Rolling (though slowly, I'd imagine) Gaming Thread

    The Hut have the Mega Drive collection for Xbox 360 for just over a tenner delivered. There's some code on the homepage for an extra quid off a £10+ spend so you could get it for 9.94 or some other stupid price, there are a fuckload of classics on there: * Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle *...

    hip hop '10

    Just noticed that a couple of the bonus tracks on Big Boi's album have André 3000 guesting on them, I guess Jive must have reached an agreement. The second of the two (with Sleepy Brown too) has a synth line bearing a serious resemblance to one of Silkie's tracks from City Limits.

    Mr.Bump (paulautonomic) UKG/8-bar/Grime mix

    Listening just now, sounds quality so far. Also big respect to the man who sticks a tracklist in the ID3.

    World Cup 2010

    How selfish can you get? Torres' wee tantrum jump was amusing but totally justified, he must be absolutely choking for a goal by this point.

    Dubstep

    Does anyone know who's responsible for the Kim English - Nitelife remix at the start of Ramadanman's Bestival mix? I've hunted high and low and can't find it. http://www.mediafire.com/?zz0zgwgmx1o

    World Cup 2010

    A good wee article about Germany's regeneration over the last decade or so - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/soccer/world-cup-2010/writers/raphael_honigstein/07/01/germany.reinvention/index.html

    Paypal and Tax

    I've often wondered how people who make a living (or at least a substantial bit of money on the side) through eBay sales go about paying taxes. I guess up to now they haven't bothered, it makes sense that IR would want to get on top of it. How is this likely to affect people selling second...

    potato waffles

    Never done the McGangBang, but I have put a McDonalds cheeseburger and fries on top of a slice of 18" pepperoni pizza before. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty good. I'm liking the egg with waffles suggestion, I didn't used to be so crazy for eggs but I've come around to the idea that a fried...

    potato waffles

    I reckon you could use two waffles as a makeshift burger bun. I'm still yet to have a go at the heart attack burger - two Chicago Town microwave pizzas used as the bun/sauce/cheese for a half pound burger.

    the "i'm rubbish, help me please" thread

    Quality, my GF is a part time art buff having done History Of Art at uni (yes I know, classic 'pointless' degree) so hopefully we'll find something she's in to amongst the openings, although saying that my legs just about died doing the rounds of Guggenheim, MoMA and the Metropolitan last year...

    the "i'm rubbish, help me please" thread

    While we're on the topic of what to do in international cities, is there anything of note that happens in New York around late September? Heading over again from the 20th to the 30th but can't seem to find much in the way of listings or events for that period online. Quite frustrating that Time...

    World Cup 2010

    Also quite disheartening to see yet another player in Ronaldo not getting the service they deserve. Portugal seem to be in a rut similar to the one Holland found themselves in during the last decade, forever playing as less than the sum of their parts. At least they don't compound their problems...

    World Cup 2010

    He didn't play very well at all after that first shot on goal at the beginning did he? One of my mates reckons it's down to the change of hair, maybe similar to Giggs's drop in form when he got his bangs cut in the 90s - aye right. For the next game I think they'd be better starting with...

    World Cup 2010

    I'm not holding my breath for football pundits to get on top of semantics any time soon. Spain/Portugal is an entertaining enough game so far, although it's not the fiery encounter I had expected. Hopefully either Spain get their act together for the second half, or Portugal sort out their...

    World Cup 2010

    I'm getting really hacked off with jorunos and pundits saying such and such a team or player 'failed to turn up' at the World Cup. Get your own fucking vocabulary, you nonce.

    rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

    Just to compliment what was said above about Ikonika's skills, she absolutely smashed it at the Hyperdub party in Spain last week, I felt pretty bad for Cooly G who had to go on after her. A great mix of dubstep, garage, house, ghetto house and juke with the crowd loving it every step of the way.
