That's really cool. He certainly seems to be doing really well.
His solo material is absolutely bonkers in the best way, modular synth weirdness that leaps from avant-garde modern classical to ultra heavy krautrock in a single track. Though his tendency to push the envelope of taste so hard that it inverts frightened Julian Cope so much that he was kicked out of his band. It looks like no one has been brave enough to put up the most explicit homoerotic sadomasochist sleeve photos* on Discogs yet. (Hmm new project...?) The insert with a fully erect full frontal nude in Double Vulgar II along with lyrics about spilling his seed on the back seat of the Variety Club Sunshine coach etc. was probably the last straw for poor St Jules.
*There's a hilarious story about some guy visiting his farm while the rest of Coil were there and being greeted by a scene of John Balance just chilling out in the sun watching their nude dancers the Anarcocks practise moves while Sleazy and Thighpaulsandra were busy doing a photo shoot in one of the barns and deep in conversation about whether or not the model needed more viagra and/or fake blood.

Lmao that farm is literally where I lived for ten years with Tim in the house next door.

We eventually swapped houses with thighpaulsandra at one point and when I went back to visit him he'd turned it into a freaky s&m art gallery. There were mannequins with kitchen knives stuck into them in the hall.

I should get back in touch.

Wow, it's almost as if Quoting history's greatest monster even with the caveat that you're doing so to compare trans people to Hitler is a bad idea when historically Hitler agreed with everything you're saying about trans people. Except them being like Hitler, obviously.

Vaguely related to current events, last week one of our company directors was really unhappy about me saying “well, trans rights are human rights” to a client but wasn’t foolish enough to state it outright. He invited me to two zoom meetings titled “inappropriate language with customers” where he repeatedly said “you know what I’m talking about” and I said “I’ve no idea what you mean” and I believe the matter is now closed.

The UK Does Not Have Enough Fruit Or Veg To Give Everyone Their 5-A-Day, Research Finds

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/uk-does-not-have-enough-fruit-vegetables-cost-of-living-crisis_uk_63c55923e4b0d6724fcfec01

quote:

The UK is not growing or importing enough fruit or vegetables to provide everyone with five portions a day, according to new stats.

As it is, only one in ten children and one in three adults are meeting the government’s recommended five, 80-gram servings of fruit and vegetables a day.

If everyone met this requirement, life expectancy would increase by eight months on average – and diet-related greenhouse gas emissions would fall by more than 8%.

Much like the NHS ads that implore people to walk around ten minutes a day, it's very much a case of "we know it's not enough but if we tell them to do the actually correct amount they won't do anything at all"

Yep, it's the approach I take to my job and my life and it works great.

I got my morning 5k erg in, which means if I'm too lazy to do poo poo later today at least I've done something.

I also made sure to clock in to work before I had my workout/breakfast/shower

Sprouts are good, actually, unlike coriander and parsley. Maybe my soap genes override the sprouts bad taste or something.

A bunch can be made of up to 200 bananas. It is grouped in double row clusters. Each cluster is known as a hand and consists of 10 to 20 bananas. When harvested, the hands are usually cut into smaller hands of 4 to 6 for easier packing.

If you bought and ate 200 bananas you would get approximately 10 times your daily calories and many vitamins, but that would probably be the least of your worries as a potassium slurry careers out of your arse.
