Apparently the Perseid meteor shower peaks sometime early tomorrow morning.
Any b3tans going meteor-gazing tonight? I'm stuck here in That London so I doubt I'll see anything sadly ...

how early?

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 12 Aug 2010, 13:03, Reply)

think it's about 01:00 to 04:00 BST for the peak, but any time of darkness if you're without too much light pollution

I'd actually quite like to see a meteor shower
but they could be considerate enough to come past at a civilised hour.

I will but first you must go through a number of obscure tests,

No not like that
really funny, like when you pretend you've slept with someone's mum a woman.

You're pretty good at pretending to sleep with women to get extra attention online though.

You just need to add a few more exclamation marks and smilies.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 12 Aug 2010, 13:12, Reply)

I do not sleep with women
I have done, and if you'd like to ring up my long-term ex and ask her if she exists then you're welcome.
I don't do it to get attention, I just don't see why I should lie about my past in order to avoid offending you.

She thinks this is the case anyway
She told me I'd failed because she knew I'd run to the cock, and I said "Yeah but you wish you were born with one."
and it was really childish but you had to be there.

There I was just now, minding my own buisness, thinking nothing special, buying some clothes in ASDA, when I walked pass the fish asil, and they were putting out a load of rapped up fish on special price
They had a mother fucking lobster for £6, but someone got there first =(

I walked away with a big thing of scallops, can't think up right now what to do with them, but I'll think of something in time for tonight.

In other news, I don't have time to go cafe today, I'll do it tomorow.

they go well with bacon/pancetta or black pudding

I was thinking along the lines of chorizo with it too.
Or maybe some sort of spring roll thing.

chorizo is the best sausage ever!
apart from mine.

I'm not really into man-saussage, sorry.
I've got some chorizo, I might do pasta with chorizo that has been diced and crisped up and add scallop and garlic. But that's a bit borring.

really nice.

sesame seeds can be overpowering though. I'd rather get more scallop taste out of my dish

^^what Vipros & PC said
wrap them in thin pancetta round outside;
sear tops and bottoms quickly in a very hot dry pan, then slam them in a very hot oven for a couple mins to finish and crisp pancetta;
serve on mozarella & pea puree.
