Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

It was November 2 years ago Anj, we came down and watched Spurs on the Sunday before the gig.
Like you we could have seen them in Glasgow but even the band were blown away with the home crowd that night.

Yes that was the one. Brilliant night.

Awe thanks @blue1948 I’m a vey visual person and this helps greatly. Is this a tool that you became acquainted with when moving to Finland? Or is an English thing?

I have mentioned it here before (some of you may remember that Karl and I had a conversation about tea and hot chocolate) but in Colombia we use a special tool called a Molinillo to stir our hot chocolate and get a frothy top. Perhaps as long as 2,600 years ago, Mesoamerican peoples began using cacao beans to brew up a bitter drink, and for probably as long, molinillos have been used to beat the mixture into a frothy drink. Taking on various forms throughout Latin America, today the molinillo is still very popular all around Colombia, where chocolate is a daily staple in almost every home.


We also use a specially shaped pot called a chocolatera to warm milk or water on the stove, then we add the chocolate. After the chocolate melts we use the molinillo to froth the chocolate. The chocolate becomes frothy up the sides of the pot, but the tall round shape that tapered near the top keeps the chocolate from splattering over. Here is a pic of it.


I find it interesting that each culture has come up with their own kitchen tools to meet their needs and food desires, an evolution of kitchen tool as diverse as our world.

Hi all, just wanted to take a minute to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy year, most of all good health! These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random message and send it on. So after all we've been though together this year I want to thank you for your friendship and wish you a happy and fulfilling 2018 - you’re the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for. Best wishes, Helen xxx

Hi Sassy, tell your mum a big happy birthday from the gang when you see her I hope she has a great day.
If you and @barnfred join the attached video at 2:15 you will see a brilliant fairly recent performance from Gary Numan and his daughter which you can dance to next time you're both in the mood.

Excellent LT. Not seen that before. I thought it was very "Persian" appropriately.

I like OMD but I thought Electricity was shocking.

Shocking @jazzy. get it?

My poor kids are brainwashed by 80s music. All those school runs in the car! However they have both independently come home from pre COVID pub quizzes and said "Hey Mum. There's was an 80s music round. Smashed it!"
They also have been to OMD gigs with me. I was at that gig at the Empire - was it the 40th anniversary one? I could have gone to Gateshead to see them on that tour but I love seeing them in Liverpool.

For anybody who hasn't seen OMD live, they are amazing. Well worth checking them out.

Anj - you will remember a Flock of Seagulls an 80's Liverpool band.

Well a mate of mine was a singer in the group and left 6 months before they released " I ran " to persue a legal career .

To this day he still isn't sure if he made the right decision.

Shocking @jazzy. get it?

Of course!

 

[Barnfred 55]

Of course!

Sorry. Thought you were wowing because you thought I really didn't like it. Brilliant song.

It was Old Grey Whistle Test anniversary special from a couple of years ago, well worth watching the whole show on YouTube.

Given your double post, it seems you are still not fully recovered from you hangover ?

I agree that was an excellent musical duo, thanks @larbert toffee for sharing it.

 

[jazzy]

One of my favourite - relatively unknown Liverpool - groups of the 80s was The Lotus Eaters .

If you haven't heard them @Sassy Colombian check out "The first picture of You " off "No sense of sin " it is fantastic and uplifting

And Pete Coyle the founder is a massive Blue.

EDIT - I'd like a video of there's like LT if I had a clue how to do it. No , no Sassy don't go to the trouble of another tutorial !

Fred my use of emojis ( Mrs J tells me that's what they are called ) is as bad as my knowledge of IT.
I once got into terrible trouble sending the wrong emoji on my phone - because stupidly I didn't have my glasses on - and ended up sending a finger rather than a thumb!
