been trying out the vegan steak burgers from m&s. i don't know how to use the grill on my oven (all the dial symbols have been eroded of course) so i fried it instead. a bit tough with that method, but very filling. need to try out a little peppercorn sauce to make them really pop.

If you think they are of equal nutritional content by size to meat then you would be wrong, otherwise have fun and don't neglect the B12. :)

Was looking why our asylum barge was called Bibby Stockholm. It's not a Miss Snuffy twee villain, but the company that makes them are called Bibby.

They've got a website, and to the fury of gammons everywhere, it turns out that it's not actually a floating prison, instead it's offering "luxury living", boasting great features such as ventilation.

I'm also glad more places are teaching quaternions now instead of the garbled Victorian vector analysis that was used until recently.

I was under the impression that quaternions were used in the early days of 3D modelling but had been superseded by *something* more streamlined. But maybe I was misinformed? Still proud of my special Irish -ions

They're still used for storing rotations. 4 numbers is smaller than a matrix, and fits neatly in 16 bytes.

JA: If you do look into the Geometric Algebra stuff I posted, the result of multiplying 2 arbitrary vectors (a * b) is equal to the dot product plus the cross product - a scalar plus a vector. This is also a quaternion, and represents a rotation about the axis perpendicular to the 'area' it also defines (through the complex axis). You can describe the operation of a quaternion as a rotation via two reflections, one through any plane that contains the 'axis', and then a second rotation through that plane rotated by half the angle. This is one of those things that really needs a diagram - but the point is, a rotation gets described by two reflections separated by half the angle of rotation. Which is why quaternions can describe angles from +/- 360 degrees instead of the usual +/- 180 degrees we expect around an axis, and also the mathematical basis for spin-1/2 behaviour, taking two full rotations to get back to where you started.

I know that it won't be the same for everyone living in a London borough, but vans appear to be exempt from the ULEZ which covers most trades and small businesses, otherwise if you live in London why the hell wouldn't you use the abundant public transport?

Just checked and my car is subject to ULEZ charges, but it's a 18 year old diesel so I'm really not surprised - and if I moved to London I'd sell it in an instant, happily

They are allowed to leave the boat, it's not actually a prison, as far as I'm aware. No doubt the locals wish it was though.

Facebook didn't stop people from going to the corner shop (?) to chat poo poo. You did that to yourself, Person Writing Poems on Facebook.

The best venue for chatting is, of course, Something Awful's UKMT thread. You can't red title someone at the corner shop or change their face to a bolognese.


Edit: well I suppose you could and it would probably be cheaper but the corner shop had better have a tin opener.

Bollocks. (Accepting the premis that the double negative "but we'd never cause no shame" was not in fact intended to be taken literally as in "we did cause shame". Seeing as many people use double negatives just as negatives.)

Pre internet days:

When my sister was 14 she had an emergency appendectomy.
It was spread all round the school by the gossips that she'd gone for an abortion.

Oh and one time it was spread all round town that I was getting bonged up every night with a woman I only ever met for a grand total of 30 minutes in my entire life.
