Second, when the young Morse got shot in the leg, they stated that he'd likely end up with a permanent limp. This explains why the elder Morse does just that, even though it's almost imperceptible. I am of the opinion that it is an artificial limb, and the writers of Endeavour were creating an expl...

Skye isn't so much the dark horse from Trumper's stable, but a screaming pink unicorn. One is surprised they make it; it is unexpected. It certainly would seem to fit the story of an attempt to be modern, but I don't know if that's entirely true. It does not contain whatever that evil 'oceanic' synt...

This dates back many years and came from a family member.

Maybe the recipe is well-known, or perhaps you can't be bothered to write it out and describe it, but it is quick and easy to snap a photo and show us! This is what I did yesterday morning - a loaf of no-knead wholewheat bread and a custard pie (not the throwing kind! A baked egg and milk custard fl...

All sorts on the go at present. By the bed is Albion's Seed , a fascinating study of four groups of English immigrants to the Americas. Characterised by religion, area of origin and their folkways, they gave flavour to different parts of the USA still seen today. For example, the New England puritan...

For me, I'd say I like The General, but I love my Livis.

The Crown, at least so far, has got it right. A tortured and trammeled existence that one wouldn't wish upon anyone. You don't need to know much history to understand it, and I suspect some well-informed historians were used as consultants in writing the script. Even where we know there is imaginati...

They certainly, maybe still do, make a bath soap in the scent. I have a couple of cakes left in the box of three I bought many years ago. It's lovely, and reputed to have been WSC's favourite bath soap.

Vendor's business-related posts really ought to go in Shopping, but since I feel sorry for you I'll leave this one here.

Turns out I have three Vitos soaps Red (Almond), Red (Coconut), and Green. I used the coconut this morning - the scent has degenerated into something rather unpleasant, but the soap performed just fine. Not gummy.

Here's a question: did Vitos get gummy? It's the only other soap I can think of that has hydrogenated tallow in it. Couple of things I've been thinking about that could be causing the gummy factor. Gary, you've used Vitos a bunch. Chris Moss, you've used everything. Is there anything else that gets...

Done!

You name it, Tim. I'll fill it in.

Well cut it the other way.

Ms Brown has been posting spam ads for students to employ someone to write their college essays for them. She is gone.

There seems to be a new trend in spammers with western female names, an IP spoofed to appear to come from AZ or NY, and dreadful English.

C.

The above has been banned for spam about student essay writing services. I doubt she can read by the quality of her own English.

C.

Well, blow me, that's cheeky, not to say unintelligent, to go and add your own spammy advert to a thread where your predecessor has been caught. Bye bye "Katherine".

I had a breakfast FaceTime with the boss who is on her monthly session up in Sydney, NS this morning. She mentioned that she had been getting a lot of pressure from the local autism association to approve the use of cannabidiol (she's a child psychiatrist), so while we chatted I did some googling. S...

Our problem is that the trials done have been with small numbers or are of poor quality. There is a JAMA review of published trials , and it's pretty disappointing. Some evidence for pain relief, and for reduction of spasticity, but little else. On the other hand, there are many unsupported claims o...

Tried it out for the first time, and it's not hard! This is the stuff used for profiteroles, chocolate eclairs and the dreadfully decadent croquembouche. http://drmoss.ca/Web%20Images/IMG_0311.jpg With cream cheese, fresh figs and cream: http://drmoss.ca/Web%20Images/IMG_0313.jpg With whipped cream,...
