Anyone got an interpretation of this track. Been bugging me for years that I can't get my head around it.

Is the Q..The Queue for the bag of drugs / and there's just a small amount left tiny rock sort of thing and people craning their neck around to try see if they can get some? And with the "charred beak" (crack) hits the glacial mass (pipe)'.. Imagine he's on about smoking crack from a glass crack pipe, and the nitties aka lepers in lead shoes hanging around for their turn etc?

So second verse is about the high and what comes with it. And the service of the civillian is the drug dealer shotting said drugs?

It's the second verse I wanna get my head round:

"We will now serve civilian a trillion and four

And snip the instrument for insolence positioned in his jaws'

Yelled a smug steward chewing on his tenth peppered steak

Cold hands rubbing at his wet lettuce face

Step forth, the doors dissolved just for him

Ushered into black clouds painting silver skulls on his supple skin

Muffling the wolf whistles streaming from beneath

That used to form an iron shell around his featureless physique

Now, his flesh slipped off him, to reveal his bones

Had grown mouths of their own to scream freedom for once

And each muscle slid into the sky dripping sweetened blood

Melting through the icy floor slipping on a sea of slush

Beating heart pukes a new gospel

In a stubborn gut takes a bow and crumbles in a puff of dust

A short fat cripple caught his eyes in a rusty jug

Inflating them to twin suns burning brightly up above

Lips stretched into plush red carpets

Unfurling further, phlegm forms the varnish

Every brain cell swanning out into the carnage

To pause for the cameras flashing, every pattern matching

His minds splattering an intricate design

On every grinning speck of space spread in infinite supply

Nothing left but a grain of salt shrinking in the sky

We will now serve civilian a trillion and five"

It's just mad as fuck and so specific I know it's direct from Jam's POV and telling a story but wtf is going on!?

Love the setting for raves in the woods. Tribe Of Frog / Dnb takeovers etc.

Anyone know of any other UK raves held in the forest with similar vibes & atmosphere?!

SI Joint Pain / Gluteal Tendinopathy / GTPS / Hip Impingement / Lower Back Instability / Piriformis Syndrome...How to find my way out of this HELLISH maze (UK NHS)

Can anyone help advise me in the UK?

I will keep it short. For 5 years I've had lower back, hip, left glute issues.

Seen NHS physios 4 times and they rule out sciatica. One physio said it's a hip issue. One physio said it's nerve related and a back / lumbar spine issue / one said GTPS.

One said to do minimal exercises and gave me a list of 4 exercises. And another I sae today said to start running again (I can't walk that well) going to yoga (Yoga - downward dog cause me agony). He has said he will refer me to the spinal specialist team who will see me in 8-10 months approximately.

I've mentioned an MRI on multiple occasions and still not been an option. The physio today said the spinal specialist team might see me ask questions and give me exercises or discuss spinal surgery (I don't want this.)

I see on social media many 'specialists' in all the areas in my title, and a lot of the symptoms I have for many of the things.

Is there a way I can pay / go private to find someone who can diagnose what I have? Once I know I can them work on the right exercises.

My lower back or hip or muscle or tendon is not grinding and crunching and giving me pain like arthuritis maybe? Not sure.

Is there anyway I can just find someone to tell me what's going on?

I'm at a loss, in pain, and just want to be able to play football with my 4 year old toddler, pick him up out the bath or even sit and have dinner at the table without having to stand up and walk around every 2 minutes.

Please help if you have any suggestions to isolate what the issue even is?!

Anyone tried adding it to your roast spuds? What technique / stage did you ad it to coat properly and not coagulate? Or is it best to heat the marmite up slightly and map turn in some melted butter / goose fat / beef dripping etc to make it more of an emulsion then coast the spuds?

I remember many years ago my friends Mum used to make amazing roast spuds. Part of her trick was using marmite.

I've tried twice now to failed attempts. First I added a dollop to the oil which spread around and coagulated.

Second I tried a drizzle which just slightly coated a few spuds here and there.

I was wondering if anyone ads marmite to their roasties and technique used / at what stage?

How many of you actually stay down after the shot? Do you stay down until the ball goes in? What about if it's a miss?

I know you are meant to but it feels unnatural but I am working on it.

Does anyone know the reason you stay down after the shot? As obviously if you have hit the white and it's left the cue... then you can't influence what happens after that? Is it because if you stand up too soon you might begin to break form / stance as you cue through the ball? Or is it if it misses you can look to see what you did wrong and adjust?

I've been doing a deep dive on finding the best bolognese recipe.

Some were helpful from the recent post someone made about their bolognese.

I see Marco Pierre-White uses a cartouche to cover his bolognese. (I like the idea of the grated soffritto and surprised this isn't done more)

I am obviously not someone to question a pro chef. But I also cook a lot and have been using the maillard effect to great success browing everything, meat and onions mostly etc.

So Marco sears and caramelises the meat then deglazes with red wine.

I then was surprised with the cartouche as I would presume leaving it uncovered (in the pan) and wrapping the oven lid in foil would trap the steam (stopping it drying out anyway) but you would also continue the milliard reaction when things stick to the bottom of the pan and a skin will form on the top and sides which can then be stirred into the bolognese which would add more depth I would guess?

I cook a lot of BIR curries. And there is a chef called Richard Sayce (Misty Ricardo) and he taught me to leave the curry to 'blip' and stick to the pan, (it takes trial and error to not leave it too long to burn but you learn to 'hear' when it needs a stir) But scraping all the caramelisation off the sides, bottom and top of the sauce ads deeper, richer, concentrated flavour back into the cooking sauce.

So would a cartouche not prevent that on a bolognese?

Marco's sauce also used a lot of passata at the end which seems backwards from what I see other pro chefs do as would almost dilute all the hard work of concentrating the layers... From what I've seen tomato paste only. Then the only 'liquids' water, milk / half and half, red wine are added... But what do I know?!

Ahh the search continues!!!!

Also thanks to the other post comment about Angela Hartnett & Nigel Slaters bologneses. I think I will take a tip from each to create my own.

Part 1.

Hello All,

Gonna try my luck with a random post.

I'm going to Bristol this weekend from Southampton. I want to turn up to the occassion with a couple of REALLY good cheeses!

Will be driving up and wondered if anyone knows of anywhere I could pick anything up more than the bog standard supermarket / or what supermarket is best and what cheese would you pick?

I was after something like a Sage Derby, or some extra good cheddar or some other cheese that blows the rest away!

Cheesey Help Needed Please!

Read Ronnie's autobiography a few years back when I was also running a lot. And seen a few interviews with him now where he'll be chatting to Jimmy White or whoever talking about his 6+ years drink and drugs benders coz he felt so anxious and uncomfortable in his own skin.

I just watched for the millionth time his 5 minute 147. I know Ronnie has always been abit of a gurner etc. But after the worlds fastest 147 he sits down, wipes his nose with his hand. Gets a red hanky / cloth and wipes his face and gives his nose abit of a blow and a wipe and a sniff up etc.

Now having done a lot of drugs myself over the years and knowing that numb drippy feeling you always have to have a little sniff / wipe incase you have polo nose as you can feel it sort of seeping abit and want to make sure it aint obvious etc.

I play pool more than snooker and in our pool league a swear so many of the lads are in the bogs snorting and the blokes at the higher levels are deff up to it. Even to the point of blatently doing a big snort up one nostril with finger over the other at the bar etc middle of a league night etc. And admittedly, I've played some of my best, easiest pool after a couple of stripes.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has always thought Ronnie has never been totally proud of that 147. He says he was in fear and just wanted to get it out the way and says he wasn't playing that well etc. But I wonder if he feels like the world record is somehow 'marred' with the fact he was sniffed up at the time.

Did they do routine drug tests in pro snooker back then?

Has anyone else thought the same? Watched the 147 and his nose wiping and sniffing after and thought "I've seen that a few times" Well he continued in that championship and didn't win that year but also no signs he had an ongoing cold.. apart from the columbian cold.

I'm not a Ronnie hater. Like I say, read his book followed and loved him for years but I can't be the only one who's thought there was a good reason for his ability to play as the 'rocket' back then.

Obviously the most gifted of all time but I'm sure there might be abit of performance enhancement there....
