I have started sorting out my late mothers estate, which is going to take quite some time. She collected antiques and she inherited things from her mother and grandmother, so it will be tricky going through her old things which I will have to decide on keeping or moving on. Amongst the ornaments in her cabinet I found this odd, delicate and quite beautiful 7" high, glass model of a German Howitzer bomb! Decorating the sides are dates and depictions of 4 battles, the sieges of Maubeuge, Namur and Longwy as well as the Battle of Liège, all in August/Sept 1914, at the beginning of WW1.
There is a visible crack to the lid but otherwise it is pretty amazing that such a delicate piece has survived 2 world wars in Germany, I think it belonged to my great grandmother who was born and lived in there until the late 20's when they emigrated to America. I thought I would share some photos of it as it is pretty unique and a beautiful but sad reminder of such a terrible time and if anyone knows more about this glass bomb I'd be grateful for any info. I will be keeping it of course as I remember looking at it when I was a kid.

Punches For:
I'll give you an example of Architect-thinking. I might've written here prior, or perhaps on Discord, or NTC.
Years ago in Italy, I and some friend were asked to come and help move a cupboard down some stairs and into a garage.
Person asking was an architect, one of the other people helping was an architect, and then there was me and another guy who is someone who advises organisations on how to make wine.
I take one look at the stairs and the cupboard, and say bluntly - we need to take this thing apart. Wine guy agreed, to the point of insistence.
Cupboard owner and other architect insisted it could be done without taking it apart. Ok, fuckit,not my deal, so we go with it.
After a half hour, scraped paint from walls and cupboard finish, there was the gradual admission that perhaps it would've been better to take the thing apart, which we had to in-situ, half way down the stairs,whilst it sat at a jaunty angle,because it would;ve taken another half hour to get it back upstairs again.
Wine guy and I took it apart in about five minutes, then another few minutes to get it downstairs and set up again. Job done.
.
My step-father was an architect, of some renown. Smart enough guy to set up business concepts beyond his well-renowned Northern English practice.
In an absolute sense, of course not all architects are shite, but by god is it a profession filled with people who have very little common sense or even a handle on their own profession.
Please allow me my rant, in this most rantiest of threads, which comes from an earnest and well-comprehended place of experience.
- it all went downhill when they stopped wearing bow ties...and dressed black.neverscared
- whats the cupboard owners job? let me guess... creative director... flippin pricksneverscared
- Not at all. Both of those architects are hugely competent in their respective domains. They just miss... something.Nairn

- to architecture... who knows maybe thats where it happens.. the missing or not missing thing.neverscared
- everyone thinks architects understand structure, whereas they rally haven't a clue. the people who make buildings stand up are the engineers...hans_glib
- ..employed by the architects to make their shitty sketches work. architects just fanny about, without a clue how real people actually live.hans_glib
- My wife works with a lot of doctors.. and huge amount of them also missing the "common sense" area of the braindee-dubs
- i doubt that... i had 2 years of -tragwerkslehre- structural enginnering at university...u build and have to calculate quite a lot...its only later that uneverscared
- decide specialising as engineer or architect. so to say- have no clue - is a lie.neverscared
- except austria is the exception in teaching to become an architect.neverscared
- if they ever return the favour it'll be to redesign the stairs so that the cupboard fitsFax_Benson

Food
Still home alone and had been jonesing for a pre-made tasty meal, but despite going to all of the local supermarkets, nothing stood out. They promise so much, but you know they'll just disappoint. So I've ended up making various combinations of pseudo-Levantine food circling overly-spiced chicken, yoghurt tahini sauce, salad with pomegranate syrup and lemon juice, rice and pitas.
I've particularly wanted Indian, but Sainsbury's and Tesco's offerings are shite, M&S isn't so good and my local Waitrose is quite small, so invariably doesn't have the specific things they offer in other stores that I enjoy.
So on my way walk home last night I took along diversion and went to Morrison's who do I quite a respectable 9as in filthy and oily) Indian and Lo! Two mains and two sides for a tenner. Wonderful. Too much for one, but fuckit, I wanted to gluttonise.
Bought some pre-made poppadoms because I couldn't see the fryable ones,then closer to home found a pack of the fryable ones.
I ended up eating all of it. Both mains, both sides, and eighteen fucking poppadoms. I fucking love poppadoms.
I writhed in glorious borderline-gestational agony for hours after and have shat four times already this morning. Probably more to go.
Worth it.
I might do the same tonight.
