I'm writing the pub quiz again for tomorrow and I'm debating if I want to piss people off with a "what's the longest border with X country" round and including France (correct answer; Brazil)

Debating 5 of the music questions being on videogame music - they'd have to name the franchise and the console/platform it was released on. nerdy but then a good amount of the people who move to luxembourg and come to the quiz are in the millennial nerd demographic. I wouldn't make it hard, obvious poo poo like Zelda, Tetris, Halo, Minecraft etc. And the other 5 music questions will be Disney songs.

I wonder what they call teacakes in the places where they call bread rolls teacakes Edit: quote:Although most people refer to a teacake as a cake containing fruit, in East Lancashire, certain areas of Yorkshire and Cumbria the name currant teacake is used to distinguish fruited 'cakes' from plain bread rolls. That's stupid sorry east Lancashire, certain areas of Yorkshire and Cumbria

I would buy bread rolls from the supermarket or a bap or a breadcake from the chippy. West Yorkshire looks like it's got everything going on there so it makes sense

One of my closest friends died today of monkeypox. I spent every summer of the last 14 years of my life with him in Turkey, chasing good times and connecting with so many people. I had to call his ex-girlfriends and friends to tell them. The fact that so many people are grieving him is testament to a short life incredibly well lived and loved. poo poo sucks.

Torquemada posted:Jesus, sorry. Did he have any other health issues, or was he unbelievably unlucky? His immune system was always kinda fucky and he had some extremely rare blood disease that they had diagnosed in the past but nothing that suggested this. He was an engineer but then turned a hobby for photographing meteor showers (on the Turkish beach I was at all summer) into a full time job and became one of the best astrophotographers in the world and wrote the literal fuckin astrophotography bible, travelling around the world taking incredible pictures. At least he lived more in his short life than most would with 100 years

Lady Demelza posted:You're not, poo poo does indeed suck, and I'm sorry for your loss. Astrophotography sounds like one of the coolest jobs imaginable, and it probably sounds really trite, but how amazing that he had the opportunity to do a job he loved. Not trite at all, I have a huge amount of respect for how he turned a hobby and passion into a career that led to him inspiring thousands of others with his work @alynwallace if you want to see his pictures on Instagram, he was incredible

kecske posted:I'm trying not drinking in the week and it's harder than I thought, which is probably evidence that I should keep not doing it Keep it up! With my own boozing I've never been someone who wants to drink every day or indeed more days than not so going the week without booze is fine (if I do nothing social in a pub/bar). My issue is always when I do drink not knowing when to stop and even though I tell myself I'll feel like poo poo the day after, somehow repeatedly convincing myself in the evening that no, tomorrow will be the one time that I'll wake up feeling fine with no hangover anxiety that makes functioning a billion times harder.

Growing up with an alcoholic mother who would drink anything in the house if it wasn't hidden or nailed down (including some gifts to me from special people that I was keeping) meant that I actively looked forward to getting my own place so I could have a booze trolley for the occasional cocktail evening or dinner party or whatever because I like having a nice bottle or two of gin, rum, tequila, whisky etc to savour on occasion. Going out to socialise in basically any of the bars in Luxembourg on the other hand means I basically drink for free because the bartending community here is close knit/incestuous, which is where my self control starts to evaporate.

Failed Imagineer posted:In my experience if you're a bartender and only a functional alcoholic rather than a degenerate cokefiend you're doing comparatively ok Lol The guy who I was covering for by writing the pub quiz the last couple of weeks had taken some time off to try to reign in his unhealthy habits I saw him on Saturday before I started a shift at the bar at 6 and he stuck his head round the toilet door to offer me a line of coke (I said no) Solefald posted:Overcoming my lovely relationship with alcohol has been amazing. Congratulations on levelling off, it's nice to hear from people who have done that instead of having to go fully sober. I quite like getting mildly inebriated sometimes! But as you obviously know having a parent with drinking issues makes it harder for our own relationship with inebriants to be healthy.

Thicker than mince that one.

I'm less fussy about spoons but I'm more particular about my forks. If it's for the main course then four tines or bust. The longer the tine the better. Can't stand stubby three-tined fuckers.

I'm in Madrid with my mum because she wanted to see an artist's gallery here. We went to the Reina Sofia and saw Guernica which made her cry and stopped at a bookshop where I asked for any interesting Spanish books and ended up with what looks like some erotica written around the time Franco died and we've eaten some excellent tortilla, croquetas and found a bar that did craft Spanish beer and cheese. A+ first day of short Madrid break

FreudianSlippers posted:Anything else I absolutely need to check out? Affleck's Palace is an interesting indoor marketplace with all kinds of independent shops selling eclectic poo poo. Or at least it was last time I was in Manchester, my knowledge is at least a decade out of date. Canal Street as the centre of the gay district is worth a night out. The Imperial War Museum in Stretford along with the Lowry Gallery next to it are worth a visit if you have a rainy afternoon to kill (which it being Manchester you definitely will)

I'm on the train to Cardiff on the way to my friend's funeral. He always used to make fun of BBC Wales for the things that were considered newsworthy, next to the serious politics poo poo you'd get on BBC England or UK. The train is displaying BBC headlines and one is I poo poo you not 'poodle rescued after getting trapped under kitchen'. Lol. The irony also wasn't lost on me when his death made BBC Wales headlines too, given he'd done some work for them in the past and was eminent in his field.

Not the most ridiculous road accident to cause a diversion that's ever happened though; I'd argue that the time 10 years ago I was diverted on the way up to the Yorkshire coast due to an overturned lorry of instant mashed potatoes wins that particular prize

Nettle Soup posted:"Let's go to wagamama, oh no let's go to the curry place, no let's go somewhere else" then we went on a long walk through the arndale, where we decided that that wasn't where we wanted to go at all, and we ended up in wagamama anyway because somebody had to make a decision. These people all need to be murdered with great haste.

If I'm involved in any kind of group eating activity then I'm either happy to defer to someone who has a suggestion, or I'm gonna make the choice on other people's behalf because I can't stand uhmming and aahing. Or if you can't please everyone then just split up and meet after for a drink rather than dragging someone along to a cuisine they can't stand or a vegan to a place with poo poo vegan options or someone who wants meat to a vegan place. For my birthday trip to Budapest I was like 'ok for dinner I want to go to this restaurant that serves traditional Hungarian food which is mostly meat, everyone do what the gently caress they want and we'll meet later at so and so bar'. No fannying around that way.
