I saw a post on FB mentioning Frank Sanazi was playing a free show at some old blokes birthday party in a rough pub in an even rougher part of Dundee tonight. So I went along with my wife for an evening of alternative entertainment and we were not disappointed. There were about 50 folk there and most if not all were there for the birthday party, so we probably stood out a bit especially as there were no seats left and we spent the whole show leaning on the bar. It was cheap drink and free food and 2 half hour sets of Frank doing his cheeky mix of jokes and crooning.
In the break we sat in the other (quieter) bar and Frank wandered in and beelined to us, as we probably looked the least drunk folk in there. We chatted to him for 20 minutes about his comedy show experiences from Glastonbury to his forthcoming show supporting a re-formed Fine Young Cannibals at the London Palladium later this year. He was a lovely, funny chap although very pissed off that the birthday guy who hired him insisted that the Hitler image he performed in front of stayed where it was. It wasn't quite right but was so typically Dundee on a Friday night it kinda worked and the crowd were in stitches the whole show through, so a splendid time was had by us all and I managed to take a couple of pics.
- It was not the image Frank wanted behind him, he complained but the guy who's party it was happened to be dressed in Stormtrooper gear...Gardener
- so it was all a bit odd really, don't think Frank wanted to rock the boat, making sure he got paid. It was NOT a Nazi Party, although that joke was made.Gardener
- Halfway through the big fella in the top pic threw up over himself, staggered out of the room and I never saw him for the rest of the evening.Gardener
- He also mentioned he had played in Berlin several times too which would have been pretty bizarre to witness.Gardener
- The big pukey fella and his shirt were going through a messy separation.garbage

Signs your getting old?
For gardening / yard work, seriously looking at luxurious tools like the following:
Folding Kneeler Stool
https://www.leevalley.com/_next/…
"The only way to thoroughly weed flowerbeds or vegetables is on your knees, low to the ground. This often means wet, cold, dirty and stiff knees. This kneeler solves the problem and, when turned over, provides a handy seat as well."

The Perfect Albums thread is more like "some of my favorite albums" thread; By the look of it, lots of the albums on there are really good, but far far from perfect. Why do I care? I need another drink.
- Hooked on phonics!palimpsest
- Agreed. Another drink...sausages
- Plenty in there close to perfect - as there is no perfect albumgrafician
- ExactlyGardener
- Surely music holds different things for different people? I've posted some albums in there that perfectly capture a moment in my life.Ianbolton
- I see the reading here not as album that is perfect for you but perfect within itself.palimpsest
- not as *an albumpalimpsest
- Which doesn't mean that all the pieces in the album has to perfect themselves but essential to the album being what it is.palimpsest
- But if an album is perfect for you it's your perfect album. It's just different readings.palimpsest
- Indeed. Therefore Krassy's point of some being far from perfect is purely subjective in that sense.Ianbolton
- Whenever we talk we're always talking about semantics.
I wouldn't say it's subjective, not in the way I'm explaning it because I'm framing it a certain way.palimpsest - The reading of the *concept* of a perfect album is subjective, as every reading is.
But I think that my reading of a perfect album is less subjective...palimpsest - .... than the result of the albums proposed which seems to be a more subjective reading of the albums themselves.palimpsest
- That is to say, that I don't consider my favorite albums to be perfect ones.palimpsest
- It's like asking "What's your idea of ȧ perfect date?" and people answering "March 25th".palimpsest
- Saying that March 25th is perfect or far from perfect are both subjective readings of the date.palimpsest
- But answering "March 25th" is a more subjective reading of the question.palimpsest
- "March 25th" is a great band nameKrassy

State of QBN 2025
So turns out after all these years none of know who actually runs the site huh?
When I search for more details it says things like "QBN, LLC" or "Quorporation." Seems almost like they are taking the piss.
- QBN is like that abandoned space ship in Alien Romulus with no captain.NBQ00
- Some do. There was contact with them a while back to see if things could progress, but there wasn't any interest.Nairn
- It's as Nairn says.Continuity
- I do. I've let them know about the cert issue. :)mg33
- It's me. I run it. All this time, it's been me.pseud

- Met him. Wouldn't out him though. I tried to do some community stuff for a second, but it didn't get much support.shellie
- But he keeps the domain and server going, drops in to see if we’re still alive in here, waters the grass, leaves.shellie
- Maybe they can water the grass with some additional, modern social media embeds fertilizerprophetone

- Folkert Gorter and Jason Kristofer were the guys who started Newstoday and QBN. Now the design community equivalent of Red Dwarf.

- @XC01 Yes I think I knew that part. There was also a guy who played in this band who was involved at some point.

Signs your getting old?
No skin cancer!
The thing beside my nose that clearly looks like basal cell carcinoma showed no cancer after the biopsy and is just a benign mole. What a relief, especially after the week I've had last week.
Ended up in the ER last Thursday afternoon with the most horrible stomach pain you can imagine. Might have been food poisoning, dehydration, and stomach irritation from spicy wings I had after a 24 hour water fast.
I couldn't even lay in any position to get comfortable. Could not stand up straight or fully exhale. Three up three times at home, couldn't even keep down Pepto Bismol. An Immediate Care doctor had one look at me and said "you don't look good," wondered if I had an obstruction in my stomach or intestines. Sent me to the ER quickly, had to wait a couple hours, couldn't sit still, could barely walk, and right as I was throwing up in the lobby, my wife arrived back after taking our kids to a neighbor's house, and right as a nurse came with a wheelchair to get me to a room because I couldn't even stand up.
Pretty much had a full blown panic attack on the way to the room, balling my eyes out the pain was so intense.
Hooked me up to an IV, drew blood for tests, gave me fluids and nausea meds, and morphine, which did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Then gave me Dilodid (like 6-8x stronger than Morphine if you're not familiar with it) and within 15 minutes it was like all the pain faded away, I got drowsy and fell asleep.
Had a CT scan and x rays, and NOTHING. No obstruction, no organ issues, no heart issues. Stayed for about four more hours, pain meds wore off and pain came back somewhat, decided against staying the night, went home at 12:30am, my wife picked up my. prescriptions at 2:30am, took them by 3am, and a melatonin, felt better, fell asleep, woke up at 9:30 Friday, still really worn out but the pain was completely gone.
Craziest pain I have ever experienced. If they had found something that required surgery, I would have been like "DO IT. DO IT RIGHT NOW. WHATEVER IT TAKES"
- Great nose news! Second issue sounds like gall bladder stones. My partner and some of her family had them for years. Worst pain they ever had.Fax_Benson
- Fist two took yrs to diagnose. 3rd one told the doctors and it was diagnosed straight away. Then my dad had same symptoms that would appear from nowhere.Fax_Benson
- we told him to ask for gall bladder check. That was it. Simple op - fixed. Can be set off by fatty / spicy food.Fax_Benson
- Well, that was quite an adventure.CyBrainX
- Good stuff - Your post made me go see a dermatologist. I went today and all good!stoplying
- Thanks everyone! The nose news was such a relief. Fax_Benson - would a gall bladder issue have shown up on a CT scan?mg33
- Good going stoplying! I get my moles checked every year. I've got 50+ so in the risky category for mole owners. :Dmg33
- @mg - I think it depends if the stones are big enough. Partner had an ultrasoundFax_Benson
