Gossip from the Forest
Still here, WW. Forests come and go, of course. Here is one that came and went, yet is still here - the submerged forest of Borth, on Cardigan Bay. The tree stumps are exposed at very low tides, and date to around 1,500 BC. The legend has it that th…

RAAAAAAAVE!!!!
Oh yes, I can see how you got confused. Those are called PG Tits, which are consumed in a similar fashion. Served hot or cold, PG Tits has become a staple not only for it's superb taste, but also medicinal qualities. All in all, a delightful a…

Admins - Can We Get a New Look
I'm not too worried by looks. But I do want easy access and the restrictions on members is redundant and sad. Wait...this is the personal relationships thread isn't it?

All About Will
I have the sense that Will only spends a small part of his life doing Frapp. Since ToU, he's done a lot of incidental music for BBC wildlife shows, his Moog Ensemble, film music, the Picard in Space opera, and no doubt more.

I wholeheartedly agree that we shouldn't rush to judgement on the basis of a press report. But @folklore doesn't post without thought. And in this case, the Mirror's story about Hannah Groves' suicide appears to be quite fair. …

Its a phrase that is readily adapted to similar situations. As I believe @KatRobin points out in her sex ed book

Then it is good for you that your weltanshauung includes a solid belief in right and wrong. It was the first thing I checked when I was in the ambulance - "Before you stick that needle in my arm, can I just be assured that your weltanshuung is…

^ yes, part is due to the inaccessibility of the forum, with all the barriers to joining. In some other message boards that I frequent, individuals often seem to go missing, but the sheer weight of numbers in the group overall means that there is al…

Some believe that's all that true medicines do anyhow. Maybe, but that would be wrong, unless the term "true medicines" is used in an unusual sense. Because if I have overwhelming septicaemia or meningitis, for instance, IV antibioti…

Em interesting @whispered - mixed it with olive oil and pepper for the dog potion. It seems it might be a bit of a placebo - nothing wrong with that if it works for you. Yes, I'm a big fan of placebos! Its just a way of saying that a given &qu…

What is really funny Whispered, is that I looked that up before I wrote it as I could not remember the exact phrase, and when you type in 'one man's milk, you get a lot of hits that finish with 'is another man's poison.' The…

Well I see everyone just ignored my brilliant, insightful 'Poe' allusion. As we say in the states "whatever motherfuckers." ....carry on. Heaven forfend, PG. I have simply been reeling from the brilliance of that insight. What …

^Just heartbreaking, folklore. And yet, as you say, Jeremy Cunt will stand there and say how terrible it is and how "they" have got to do better.

The Sex Ed Thread
A woman can watch porn outside of her sexual orientation and still get turned on. It is pretty interesting. It certainly is. I was reading about chimpanzee politics again yesterday. After a fight between two males, a high ranking female will usual…

Tumeric is well regarded in my lupus group, but some of us can't manage it, including me, sadly. Pineapple tastes better too.

PS one of our gerbils died yesterday. I can't decide whether her innards ruptured or whether her best mate cannibalised her entrails. Not nice, poor thing. Gerbils can be trickier than they appear. I had two - both females - in two large, c…

True, it's the only bit of escapism I'm getting at the moment. Talking of which, we watched the film " Imaginaerium" last night, you've probably all seen it ( and spelt it correctly), but if not, what a whimsical treat. Grea…

A little something while we wait
I first heard the Frapp after I was told that there was this woman called Alison Goldfrapp who played the theremin by dancing with it. I went straight out and bought Black Cherry, which had just come out. On first hearing, I assumed that Will was s…

Lovely, UT. Y'know, what that little collage also does is remind me how much GF has been part of my life all these years.

The Utopia thing is interesting. The initial vocal, which as UT says, she hasn't sung live for some time, by my reckoning, hits "high A" (A5). But the closing operatic phrase goes 3 semitones higher - to "soprano C" (C6), an…

New York gig 26/27th April @Brooklyn Steel
^In that recent interview, Alison highlighted that she has lost the very top of her vocal range, so I would imagine she will be taking great care with it in future. My guess will be that any tour(s) won't be extensive.
