It scares me that poor Americans will vote for something that bad for them and great for the rich
because they believe it won't affect them as they will be millionaires tomorrow.

I have 8 tattoos and 5 piercings and every now and then I think "Phil, you're in your 30's take them out" I do and think "Fuck I look weird" and put them back in again. Last promotion I got I took them out for the interview and the boss told me not to take them out next time.

Altalt. After a successful scrumping session in the campus orchard on wednesday and a windy night last night, I'm heading down there at lunch time to nick some more apples. Then tonight I'll start the pressing.

I have never seen the appeal of piercings, just personally that is. Nothing against 'em, like.
But I do have the 'Froggo, you're in your 30's, those couple of tattoos you had at 17/18 don't look as 'fucking sweet' as you once thought' thoughts.

Don't worry, its not weird or anything
I just get turned on by looking at old mens chests.

Truth is he's always gardening with his shirt off so in the summer months his tattoos are on display on a regular basis.

In the winter months I have to use a photo.

An ex of mine's Dad had loads of tattoos from his time in the navy. He was covered in them, and got them all over the world.
He had a really cool Viking on his leg, and on each arm he had a caveman, one saying 'Hey you?' the other saying 'Who, me?'

His were also from his navy days

I wouldn't get anymore, but I do like those more 'traditional' ones.

Can you make cider from any kind of apple?
Only there's a metric fuckton of apple trees in the local hedgerows, some are crab apples, some are not.
I'd like to make some sort of alcomahol from them if possible.

Well I took a bite out of each type when I went picking to make sure they tasted ok
So I'm not overly concerned about putting them all in together, but if you are worried make several little batches and blend the nice ones and chuck the shit ones. Its pretty much free as you don't need yeast or sugar. Just let the juice do its natural thing.

I don't think cider apples are usually suitable for eating.
I'm not sure if it works the other way around though.

If you can't find proper cider apples a mix of cookers and eaters will be fine

I was thinking of doing small batches - maybe a demijohn each - and seeing if I could blend it to taste.
I quite like a cider, as long as I can see through it and it doesn't taste like either :-
a) something made in the chemicals factory in Runcorn or
b) Something's died in it.
Can't stand the 'real ale' types who won't drink it unless it looks like the water drained from an old cast-iron radiator and has been strained through the gusset of a traditional cordwangler's apprentices' skroving smock.

Trouble with home made cider is the juice browns much like an apple does so its often cloudy
but depend on the apples
