Supermarket "Globus" awarded dart player Clemens Gabriel the right to have 200 Fleischkäsweck for free. Gabriel stated he would go on to buy his ones himself and donated them to "Kältebus Saarbrücken", which is a charity who provide the possibility of warming themselfes up and sleeping in a warm surrounding during the cold season to the homeless.

I always struggle with most warm sauces that require either cream or roux. I love a good dill or mustard sauce, but just never get the proportions right. So I stick with cold sauces, or simple Asian stir-fry sauces instead...

I used to have this problem, until I realised that I was frying too many potatoes at once. Also, parboiling them before frying makes a huge difference, too!

When I hit an 80s playlist on Spotify some of the songs are still so good. The standards are ridiculous from back then to now.

Will need it - just realised I was born closer to the end of WWII than to the foundation of Google.

I'd laugh, but it's equally true for me.

When the realisation hits you...

I already can do so.

Minus 2, can't feel my toes but even with no filter, don't think the photos quite justify how it looked this morning.

I just bought it last weekend, ordered a memory card and some odds and ends so havent used much yet but I am trying it out a few places on the coming weekend . I looked at the mirrorless but its just too expensive to justify and like you said if anything it will give me more opportunities for second hand f mount gear in the future, even now some is still quite pricey. I only really had one good lens left over from the D90 so it would have been feasible but I looked at the prices of Z glass too, dear lord. Funny enough the guy I bought this off of was selling because he bought a Z7. He literally used the D7500 for one field trip and trials. Shutter count was like 240... Cute story I bought it second hand off and older fellow not far from me. I went with my Fiancee to meet him and he was adorable. Invited us into his apartment and offered to make us coffee and let me check out the camera, went for a short walk over to our local department store he bought it from to verify a few things (I felt fine once I saw it and tried it out but he seemed like he wanted the walk and the company) he ended up asking us what we were doing for New Years (as it was NYE) Im pretty sure he was trying to invite us over, unfortunately we did have plans but made for a fun few hours.. anyways warmed the heart a tad. Ok cool Ill keep this in mind. I definitely want to try and develop too that seems like half the fun of trying out film

D90 is a nice camera, it has absolutely everything a beginner might need... How do you like your new D7500? The specs look pretty impressive! And I guess with everyone switching to mirrorless, the "older" F-mount lenses will only get cheaper with time, especially in second hand market, so that's a huge advantage... I'd just get a roll of B&W film for trying the old film Nikon out, it's much cheaper and I genuinely like the results better... Easy to develop at home later on too, if you get into it

Nice gear... The prices of film are completely bonkers now thanks to global shortages. Last time a week or so ago, I've been quoted 16USD for a roll of Fujifilm Superia Xtra, 18USD for Kodak Portra, and 13USD for bloody Kodak Gold... That's just mental. I gave away all my digital gear for young aspiring local photographers a while ago... But if film prices keep on increasing by 100% each year, I might have to get a digital camera again at some point

Diving back into things as my interest had stagnated somewhat with my limited and dated gear. Upgraded from my D90 to a D7500. Sorting out some things with lenses but going to have a decent little setup for nature and landscape photography On a side note my old man has offered me his Nikon F601 film camera to which he has two lenses both AF; a 28mm and a 70-210 f4-5.6. Will have some fun tinkering around with that as Ive never used film before.

Watched a few over the holidays The Northman - 8/10 - Not entirely what I expected really and thats a good thing. Its not your typical holiwoodized film. Shot more in line with their beliefs at the forefront in the gods and destiny etc. Really well done in that regards and I quite enjoyed it. The Last Duel - 7/10 - Pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Although I think the whole rape scene didnt need to be shown twice the rest was pretty good overall. Shows three difference points of view centered around the same single event. Adam Driver is just superb in everything he does, that was my main take away. worth watching but nothing special. Avatar something something water - 7/10 - Much like the first one a visual feast for your eyes. Absolutely worth watching on the big screen and in 3D. Story is secondary and didn't really matter a whole lot and its definitely too fucking long. Actually planned on rewatching the first as I haven't seen it since theatres way back when but it I didn't set aside another near 3 hours to do that in the end and I don't think it really mattered much in the end.

Swap for Guimaraes?

To be fair, a lot of shit music was released in the 80's. Fortunately most of it succumbed to oblivion.

Along these same lines I had to explain to my kids that some of the music I listen to is 45-50 years old. And I still think it's better than the majority of stuff released nowadays.

the moon landing is very interesting imo

We will turn to you for helpful tips and emotional support

This is the funniest shit to watch from afar. I love it. Eat shit Kevin, eat shit.

Hamlin is making 'remarkable improvement' in his recovery apparently. Good to hear.

Much appreciated folks!

5th of January and we almost reached the target already.

That's £10 in from me to keep this month & year rolling along

I wonder if they can crawl inside your t-shirt, bite you and disappear without being noticed like snakes can?

Took me a few moments to work that out. Also @MUFC

Tenner from me guys, too. Hopefully that's us nearly there for January now. Keep up the good work all.

Throwing in a tenner.

A belated Happy New Years and Merry Christmas to all you guys and gal! I hope you all had a great holidays. I was out of town so took a break from internet and things for a few weeks

Interesting thread.

Breakfast today. And now a spiced roasted vegetable/sweet potato/black bean stew for tea.

Fried potatoes, never crispy enough.

I will soon be able to say the same about myself...
