Super into these guys at the moment, hardcore punk from Cardiff UK.

I haven't listened to the whole thing yet. I found telegraph avenue pretty terrible when it was released (just as I was typing this I had it playing and my 5yo daughter started dancing around so there you go, maybe it's a youth thing). Rancid isn't a band I listened to much until my late 20s. Mainly...

Margaret Atwood is a boss. Elizabeth Moss is really good in this too.

Sorry to hear that Serra. Sucks about health issues stopping you doing field work. Getting into the bush is definitely my happy place. My ex was dealing with anxiety and ptsd, and even though it's cliche as fuck now, mindfulness courses did seem to help her. For a bit at least anyway. I'm doing OK w...

Another one up, no track list yet tho

Thanks man. Other than two or three friends I think you are the only regular listener. Appreciate it!

I hope shit gets better for you Andy.

Dementia is tough. Especially when they come back for a little bit and it seems like everything is normal and then they're off again. Watched my Grandma go through it.

Thanks Serra and Pert.

I don't really know why I posted this but everyone look after each other cause shit can change real fast.

What a shitter of a year and its not even June yet

Hah yup I'm pretty shit at this.

To hold you over there is a Spotify Playlist:

He's painted fucked. A matter of not if but when.

I've never been but I might actually pull finger for this one.

Excellent release. I wonder if/hope there'll be an Arse-end Compilation II coming out eventually...

I just realised I bought this on vinyl years ago and ave never actually got around to listening to it....

I guess. If you like wasting money. Otherwise just get a cheap knock off which does the same thing.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02651/Luminaries_cover_2651971a.jpg Thought I had better give this a go. It's ok, I'm not really a fan of period drama. I find the astrology stuff with each chapter shortening by half pretty gimmicky. Although it does mean the pace is picking up.

I reckon it looks pretty fucking mean

The mass is what's important. Real anvils are only hardened on top too.

So sick

Yeah you can get pretty fucking deep into it eh. If you know how to weld a 2 x 72 seems pretty straight forward to make. Rip a variable speed motor out of an old treadmill and get some cheap skateboard wheels and you're pretty much set. I was looking at getting one of these just for shaping handles ...

Also, and this only really applies to old farts (I mean old farts as in actual old people who don't even use the internet, not the older posters on here), don't write off something just because it's made in China/Taiwan. Bahco's socket sets are made in Taiwan and they're good as fuck. This. I'm on ...

I spent two hours tryna do my back lawn with a weed whacker on sunday. I was horendously drunk and couldnt get the line in properly and it kept flipping out after a couple minutes of whacking. I should of really given up but on i went. The neighbours would of had a hoot listening to me swear away. ...

I bought a second hand Masport 4 years ago for $180 and it's still going hard. The timing was always a bit fucked and I've only changed the oil once but it still does good job.

I love doing the lawns. Something really satisfying about it.

How the fuck was this release so low key?

Perfectly realised labour of love

Speaking of drills I thought this was useful: http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/thiswayup/audio/201827995/the-truth-about-electric-drills I don't even know what brand my drill is, my partner had it already when I moved in with her. I've managed to get by with it the last couple of years b...

Phil, get hold of Shea Stackhouse, he sells damascus billets and is the guy who taught me. He'll be able to sort you out. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=shea%20stackhouse There is always the Pakistani stuff for cheap but it's a bit a crap shoot as to whether you get something decent or usele...

Thanks man, I'm finding out it's a lot harder to do without the proper tools though. I'm missing having a properly set up workshop. This guy, Richard van Dijk, makes some of the nicest stuff in NZ I reckon. He made swords for Weta Workshops for The Hobbit and regually sells knives for over $5000 a p...

I've been slowly building up my tool collection over the last few years. I love being able to fix/make shit and learn new skills at the same time. Makes me appreciate even more some of the amazing craftsmanship out there.
