Bairnardo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Nigella Lawson completely ruins* Saturday Kitchen. Can't stand the way she pouts at the camera. *The wine experts are also annoying, but I suspect that isn't an UO. Nigella Lawson is a despicable person, and furthermore, is a really poor cook/chef 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flats at the barbican are stunning (from the outside anyway) and the whole complex is a really interesting way of configuring urban construction projects. We could do with more like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Any touch - no matter how inadvertent, below the knee - of a defending player that the goalkeeper picks up should be deemed as a passback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Brutalist architecture is much better than a lot of the new build monstrosities you see these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a bold statement, but I quite like the Gala Fairydean grandstand. The Galashiels taxi drivers were probably nipping everyone's heads about it in 1964. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Almost tempted to start an architecture thread...on Brutalism, I attended a conference on this in Dundee in 2007. A lot of love for Gillespie, Kidd & Coia. For me though the big thing is St Peter's Seminary, Cardross. Beautiful building, brutalist. sadly left to ruin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 There's a reason so many photos of brutalist buildings are in black and white. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I quite like the smell of ground, unsmoked weed. It reminds me of Braithwaite in Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I don't like nature programmes. Here are some plants or animals in slow motion while an old man whispers rapturously over them. So? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it's cool that the lesser-spotted hairy-arsed tarantula rides into battle on the back of the screaming bovril parrot, but I can understand the concept without actually seeing it happen myself in slow motion HD over the course of an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
