because they want to minimise the cruelty they indirectly cause as much as possible, but couldn't hack a vegan diet? (which, being honest, must be fucking hard to follow)

for bars, i usually go out in el raval- there are a couple of decent ones on the rambla, one that i always went to but for some reason have forgotten the name is just off it in a small side street, on the right about a third of the way down. if i remember it i'll tell you! bar manolo in calle lancas...

what about a fucking coconut then? i like how he refers to a 'well-made' banana though, as if there are sweatshops in the phillippines churning millions out every day

always been a bit wary of massive fucking bits of water....a bit weird as i voluntarily did kayaking for 8 years on some pretty big rivers

my random one is cotton wool.....it sends serious shivers down my spine to think about it, let alone rub it between my fingers

i don't really shoot anything in particular as i'm still a pretty casual photographer, i got the 50mm because i wanted a nice portrait lens to go with the the 18-55 stock lens the camera came with (i still use it, you can tell i'm a newbie ha) i sometimes find the 50mm a bit tight for what i need, w...

nice firky! i only started a few months ago but i'm getting into it now, seems like a hobby that drags you and your wallet in a bit...i'll stick a few of my barna flicks up on here tomorrow i'm looking to get a prime lens next, but keep getting different advice...some people say get 80mm, i've tried...

i'd be a cowardly conchy bastard

so basically...i'm completely devoid of inspiration myself, so i'm looking for some ninjas to recommend some good photoblogs to me! nothing too specific, one with lots of variety that posts at least a picture a day, but more is always better! :D: two i've found so far are: http://thisalso.com http:/...

i do, what part do you want translating exactly?

i like to think that, somewhere, there's a genuine african prince furiously sending emails trying to give away part of his fortune and wondering why he never gets any interest

i like how the sun is always completely rabid about paedophiles, but doesn't mind showing a clothed 15 year old girl along with a countdown to her 16th birthday when she can get her chebs out on page 13 and how they need to CAPITALISE certain words in sentences because their readers are too FUCKING ...

he really shouldn't do that weird grin thing he does

cunning journalism from the mail, stick a quote in saying that 'most of the parents at our kids' school are on benefits', then the stupid readers will assume that all the other parents take the same amount from the system....when they won't be taking anywhere near as much plus, the amount spent on b...

some people should have a look into the correlation between the decline in religious belief and the increase in ufo sightings

strange how they always target the usa as well.

humans were coexisting peacefully and sustainably for ages before modern civilisation came around

welsh rarebit- a complex recipe not to be undertaken by amateurs:

i believe that there are very few inherent human characteristics....the vast majority are defined by environment and upbringing so we should be pointing the finger at modern civilisation, not the individual cogs who have created something they have no control over

i've just bought my first slr and i'm playing around with it, mainly pretentious, middle of the road type of photos

check them out anyway!

i fundamentally reject the idea of a controlling human elite, because i'm a human and i know what we're like. there's no-one at the rudder of this chaotic world people turn up to work hungover, make pillow talk with their wives, secrets emerge and one that big would be the same as for 9/11....my opi...
