I got 2 albums through the post yesterday
Dry The River (Shallow Bed) and Mark Lannegan Band (Blue's funeral)

Then from the car boot sale I got:
The Distillers (Sing Sing Death House and The Distillers)
Interpol (turn on the bright lights)
Sex Pistols (Never mind the bollocks...)
RAncid (Life Won't Wait)
Alkaline Trio (Crimson)

So that will be the sound track to the next couple of weeks. That and Tweak Bird. And Mad Nurse

This week I am expecting to take delivery of:
Jimmy Smith plays Peter and the Wolf
Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue
Doug Hammond - Reflections in the Sea of Nurnen
Ben Frost/Daniel Bjarnason - Solaris

I don't expect any of these are likely to appeal to you though, Gonz.

I like the audio play "Childhood's End", probably my favorite audio play.
Never read Peter and the Wolf though.

You don't read Peter and the Wolf
You listen to it.
It introduces children (or you) to leitmotif - a theme for each character.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 17:33, Reply)

The Jimmy Smith version doesn't have any narration though
He improvises on the themes.

I've just cooked up a delicious tomato sauce
With onions, celery, carrots, garlic, basil and tomatoes. Cooked slowly on a low heat, then blended.
To this I have added fried mushroom (with lemon juice), red peppers and soya mince.

Yup, had to do it, can't leave a jar of sauce just as it comes.

Actually, I say that like I've done it more than twice, but it was fucking good. Tastes rank when cooking it, but then some magic happens at the end when it goes really rich and silky. I gotta get up on that sometime soon.

Cool, good luck for it, remember you can always jump ship after a trial if something better comes along, and it's better than a kick in the knackers.
I'd imagine although 10k is a really really high drop, it'll still be a jump from whatever you're on now. Plus not that I know you, but I know if I'm working, my mental thinggie is a lot better, so I'm more likely to pick up work.

Also went to see my nephew play footie this morning
as he was playing just down the road. Good game, they lost 7-6, but it should have been a draw as the ref awarded his team a free kick which they scored from but he blew for a foul as the ball was sailing into the net and made them take it again. The dozy cunt. I used to work with him as well.

... try the 15-second-turn thing, works well. I saw yesterday a youtube video of heston making a mushroom ketchup, saying it was the perfect condiment to go with it. I know you can buy it in waitrose, although ovb it won't be the same, I wanna give it a try. Maybe with a nice buttery jacket potato with bluecheese. Aww yeah', thats what I fancy.

I shall look for link to a 15 second turn steak.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 11 Mar 2012, 18:56, Reply)

It's pretty simple, pan as hot as you can, no oil, just seasoning, turn every 15 seconds 'till it's done.
Do you know the OK trick to tell about steak? That's another one that is perfect every time. I'd write up a guide for coll3ctive but I I need a third hand to take the photo.

Basicly
Make an OK diving sign with one hand, and the other hand squidge the fleshy bit between thumb and index finger. That amount of squidgyness in a steak is rare.
Same thing but using the middle finger to complete the 'o', the squidgness of the same part is medium-rare.
Once again with the ring-finger, and you'll have medium-well done.
Finally, little finger, and you have well done.

It works perfectly for me every time, if you think you can't feel a difference, thinking it won't work, go from index to pinky, you can deffo tell then.
