Need to get some wine to drink whilst I wait for my orders from Portugal and Germany to arrive. Since they're all 90+pt wines, I think I'll spend the next week trying supermarket own-brand wines.

Tried a few from Monoprix in Paris and they were decent, but perhaps pitched at a lower level than the UK supermarket brands because of the overwhelming choice in France.

Hope the Sainsbury's local down the street has a decent selection. Need a Pinot Noir and a Riesling, or perhaps a Gewürztraminer.

So many butcheries and bakeries in Edinburgh close at 3pm or 5pm. How do people with day jobs ever manage to get food from anywhere but supermarkets?

…do the people running these shops not realise that the whole point of retail is to work when everyone else isn't, because that's when they have time to go in and spend some money?

Ah, the wonderfully temperamental Blurby.

Adobe's final attempt. But you're right — Linux is either used by those in places where Flash never had any hold in the first place, or by people who know better.

Absolutely!

Looks like someone managed to brute force my Steam password.

Should've strengthened it years ago. Good thing Steam Guard caught it.

Adobe resurrects Flash player on Linux [rss.slashdot.org] This wouldn’t have anything to do with…I dunno…a couple of other platforms dropping it, would it?…

I won’t bother then. What an annoying function.

Question: this oven has a microwave function.

Do I have to take all the metal out before I use the microwave mode?

I hope I've calculated and budgeted correctly. Will certainly be overspending this month as I bulk buy wine and general supplies to last for the next few months.

300GBP of wine, for instance.

It is unfortunate that wine in the UK is so expensive — unaffordable for cooking. So I've ordered 15 bottles from Portugal. Even factoring in shipping (and they're not just shipping me those 15 bottles — there'll also be 3 bottles of port in there), it works out to 3GBP/bottle.

Which is 3x what I'd pay for cooking wine in France.

Damn.
