A free-for-all thread

I miss the forum looking like it used to.

[Fjar]

I can't read any threads. I miss the old look though.

Thinking of maybe making a wee trip across the water to Brum/Oxford/London before I'm not allowed to fly / chemo'd up to fuck. If anybody fancies getting slightly inebriated?

Late to the party, but then time, what is time..?

If a date is set I shall do everything in my power to get there in order to awkwardly stand with you and everyone else.

[Jobdone]

I also will do my best to be there to stare into my drink and laugh when the time seems appropriate.

I can NOT stop listening to the Bee Gees
Like, i've tried, but 2 days now, on repeat, constantly.
Particularly Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb, 15 times today I reckon.

Been looking over the archived Bloodstock Forum, the times that were.

Went to October 2008, "What pissed you off today" was already at ~300 pages.

You should be dancing and not telling us then.....

I'll see myself out

Got an appointment with the physician / department who saw that I have lymphoma but didn't say anything about it today. They've been very polite and cautious since they heard about the fuck up so it could be an interesting appointment, half tempted to slip in some sort of joke about it

So we got a reply in regards to the complaint my Mum send to the hospital who did my MRI.

"The scan was performed on the 12th of January 2015 and reported the same day by a consultant radiologiest. The report indicated that there were lesions seen on the scan that may be due to lymphoma and urgent referral to haematology was advised. The report was hand delivered to Mr N Thomson's secretary at 4.30pm that day. Mr N Thompson is the orthopedic consultant who referred Jamie for his MRI scan.

Regrettably there was no MRI report located in Jamie's notes and Mr Thompson has since retired."

All seems rather odd..

That's some conspiracy ass shit right there.

The scene before it cut away to you recieving the letter would be a voice over saying "Mr Thompson has retired" and a body being chucked in a hole.

COFFEE SNOBS, I require your knowledge and advice. I would like to expand my personal coffee and accessory range.

Can I buy decent coffee as cheaply (or cheaper) than my local Morrisons, which does Lavazza for just under 3 quid, and its own brand for about £2.30?

The grinder I have (Wahl ZX595-1, which has James Martin's name on it) isn't particularly consistent and relies on me keeping an eye on it to make sure I don't grind too finely for my espresso machine to cope. Is there anything cheap that'll do the job better?

Percolators: Any to go for/avoid?

[Tet]

Don't grind your own. Go for preground Jamaican Blue Mountain (jablum.com is a good source) and make it in an aeropress.

Disclaimer: I don't drink coffee. But the coffee snobs I know all seem to agree on that.

Disclaimer 2: It's not cheap. Snobbery and thriftiness don't mix well. But I'm told it's worth it.
