Flat white is my coffee of choice in a café, but at home I use a plunger (French press, as y'all would say) and add full cream milk (low flat milk is too thin, and skim milk is an abomination unto god). I'll happily drink a glass of milk, or a carton of iced coffee [milk]. Maybe I should branch out and buy a 2L bottle of chocolate or strawberry milk next time I shop. Okay, maybe not strawberry.

You knew this would happen. Now it has!

This is the Deli sub-forum. Perhaps it hadn't been necessary to use that euphemism here!!!

Those of us in Australia well remember the semi-finals and finals in 2023, especially the drama after the final (although nothing quite matched the AUS-FRA quarter for drama). But the excitement of the whole tournament and enthusiasm of supporters is what will be remembered long after any drama has faded. ¡Viva España!

Suffering for football is not a rare thing. England have been doing it for 60 years, and it is yet to come home.

There was no shortage in the comments of references to the 'Grauniad' and the reason it is referred to as such.

I wasn't sure whether to post this in Tech Talk or here. Here will have to do. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2026/jul/17/rudeness-manners-whatever-happened-to-being-polite

Friends, we don't need character assessments of each other nor to have those compliments returned. We've edited out some that had already been posted. Please confine your comments to the topic at hand and not to judgments of each other. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

On my screen he's 79kg in the stats, and 85kg in the narrative. In RM, the drop-down for body mass is in 5lb increments and in SI they're in random 2 or 3kg increments. So, it looks like they calibrated it in pounds and then the mass in kilograms is rounded down to the kilogram below (even if the hard conversion has .9 in it). So not exactly accurate. Either way, he's selected 175lb/79kg then written 85kg in the text. Anyhoo, we've seen the pics. What's written is just numbers.

@Jamie21, the crowned heads of Europe were one of the earlier internationalist global elites [as long as 'global' excludes all things that are not European as they were wont to do]. And the throne of England has been ceded even to a Scot. Majority German is a bit of a stretch in a country that is barely majority Caucasian.

The thread @myophile referenced can be found by searching the escort's name using our search function, as can another he posted himself advertising that he's moved to Europe. This thread is about his prospective visit to New York, and is a separate subject, and can remain separate.

As I understand it (not with any legal certainty) is that the elder abuse statutes can be somewhat more flexible, and that they cover abuse of other vulnerable adults. Age 60 may be where they start to apply regardless of any other factors.

In the last few days, along with the justifiable praise and happy reminiscences, there has been speculation about the cause of his death. The family decided to clear the air. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jul/16/sam-neill-died-cause-of-death-pneumonia

We often read about the quality of air, and the health effects in cities like Delhi and Beijing. And then we see the air quality in a western city that, due most commonly to something like these fires have done in Toronto, or the 2019/2020 fires around Canberra, is worse than those cities where smoke in the air is a more regular feature. We smile (at the unwanted fame, more likely than actual amusement) when we read about it, and don't think about the health effects on us, in our first world existences. But we know from Delhi that the effects are real. So mask up, avoid going out and breathing it if you can. And bask in the temporary notoriety, and look forward to when it clears away.
