DIGITISER FRIDAY LETTERS PAGE
What a funny week it has been.
PARP!!!
Gannon and I did some filming yesterday, and I think you're in for a treat over the next few weeks. It has been a while since just the pair of us did any videos together, and we've given ourselves permission to not always base the vids around video game stuff.
When it comes to the next full series of Digitiser, we've agreed that the focus will be fully on games again, but in terms of generating ideas and content for the twice-weekly mini eps, it just frees us up in all sorts of ways. Inevitably, this meant there were several near-disasters... the first of which you can see on Sunday night.
But anyhow, we've also discussed our plans for that next series. It's important that we offer you something above and beyond the sort of thing we're doing in the weekly eps (and, for that matter, what we did in series 1), so we're planning something very ambitious. Something completely different. Something that will test us all in different ways... But we will need a lot of support from you lot to achieve it.
More on that after the summer. Let's do letters.
If you'd like to apear here, or you've something you'd like me to give some attention to in our occasional Plug Zone, or you've got a picture of a bin you wish to share, please send your filthy emails to this place here: digitiser2000@gmail.com
SKELLIES
Henlo Biffo,
Hope you're doing well this week. Last week I mentioned the psychology person I'm seeing now and I already hate it. Which is SuPeR FuN!!!11!!
Anyway, I experienced a very… Let's say, interesting day out in Edinburgh. I ventured over by train and visited that National History Museum place to educate and maybe learn something new about retro tech, which I was very excited about. That and they have a very big giant deer skeleton I wanted to try to sketch.
I barely did anything, apart from spotting an old Commodore system, due to a mothereffin' alarm starting to screech (which my brain did not like) and those strange fire curtains dropping at the entrances to the sections. I am confused??? What happened???
But everyone got evacuated (funny thing here, all the staff got out first and absolutely no staff were getting people out of there... That's good). It was also pissing it down and, being the big dumbo that I am, I forgot an umbrella. So I just sat in the train station with my slightly soggy sketchbook, the latest Digi video on, and my 3DS and waited for the caffeine to kick in.
Anyway, I assume you want questions, I dunno, but have some anyway.
Nummer eins) What's your opinion on Pokémon Sword and Shield so far?
Nummer zwei) Bit more serious with this one, but hey. How do you deal with stress/anxiety/the likes? Asking for a friend. :')
Anyway, thanks again for the positive comments, Biffo. I really appreciate your content and comments and... stuff. Hope you have a great day buddy.
Asho / Ash (@catastroasho)
That Edinburgh Natural History Museum experience sounds like the most exciting day out ever! It reminds me of the day I pressed a secret button behind the till in the Co-Op, and it set off an alarm, and dozens of staff suddenly ran out from the back of the shop, thinking there was an emergency. My mother was very embarrassed and apologetic, but I felt like a GOD.
As is customary in these instances, I must make the joke that I was, of course, 38 at the time.
Pokemon Sword and Shield I know virtually nothing about, but I'm considering getting one of them, as it has been years since I've played a proper Pokemon game.
Stress and anxiety... hmm. That's a tough one to say, because I don't have a technique for dealing with it as such. It's more that I don't actually get anxious. If I do, it's very, very rare. I guess I used to, but there came a time where it sunk into my head that nothing actually matters. What other people think doesn't matter, and what they think or feel is their stuff, not mine, and I can't control that. What happens is going to happen, so I don't waste energy worrying about it.
That isn't something I do consciously, though.
There was a real turning point for me over the past decade. You know how sometimes you make a wish? Like, if you pull a wishbone, or... whatever? Well, I used to wish for big things; I wish I was a millionaire, or I wish my life was better. And at some point, and I didn't realise I was doing it until I'd been doing it for a while, I'd just wish for a nice weekend, or I'd wish that I was going to enjoy the film I had tickets for, or I'd wish that one of my kids had a good day.
The wishes became more about the here-and-now, less self-absorbed and want-my-life-to-change-y. And that's when I knew I was in a better place.
I've mentioned this before, but a book which really changed my life was Homo Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. It really rams home the point that so many of the things we fret about aren't even real. Money, taxes, laws, fashion, international borders... all of it - they're just things people have made up. Also, reading a lot of books by Carl Rogers for my counselling training made a big difference.
I do get stressed though, usually when I've got way too much work on, or I'm worrying about money, or I feel that too many people are making demands of me. And I tend to internalise it, rather than release it, which isn't the healthiest technique. Not least, because it gave me gastritis when I was putting together Digifest a couple of years ago, and I still suffer from it. It flares up when I'm stressed.
I still get exasperated with people. Self-centred behaviour drives me mental, in particular. Self-absorbtion frustrates and angers me, and I want to shake people when they're stuck in a loop of self-pitying, or playing the victim, or being a big baby. That's not really the same thing as stress or anxiety - unless they're putting it on me - but I wish I could be a bit more immediately empathic in those instances. Sometimes, though, people really do just need a good kick up the arse.
But the key for all these issues, ultimately, is that nothing matters other than the moment you're in right now. Not the past, not the future. We can't control any of it, we can't control other people. All you have is now.
WALLACE AND VOMIT
I went to Nikki and Bunty's house again and I did a big projectile vomit all over their (carpeted) bathroom at half seven in the morning.
This obviously got me thinking about vomit in video games - especially after you pointed out on twitter the prevalence of poo, vomit and general excretion in the modern toy market. My favourite video game vomit is the Captain on the S.S. Anne in various Pokemon games.
What is your favourite video game vomit? When did you last vomit in real life? Do you have any vomity anecdotes?
Chai (@teacupofchai)
The only video game vomit I can think of off the top of my head is the Boomers in Left 4 Dead. They irritated me, though, because I don't like it when there are different types of zombies. Just give me your standard ones, for pity's sake.
The last time I vomited was March. I'm not proud of it, because it was alcohol-related. I'm not a big drinker, but on the last night of the Marillion Weekend I had some beers during the gig, not wanting to go too nuts as we had to travel home from the Netherlands the next morning. Unfortunately, when we got back to our chalet, I ate loads of cheese, crisps, and drank a ridiculous amount of champagne, and felt very drunk and queasy very suddenly.
And, yes, done a vom in the bathroom. I hadn't done that since I was 21.
Anyway, talking of the Marillion Weekend, here's a letter from the gentleman who bought that champagne...
LEGEND OR BELLEND
Dear Digitiser Panel,
Whatever happened to the gaming legend that once was Geoff Crammond?
His seminal work of Grand Prix 4 remains in my opinion the best ever gaming rendition of Formula One and regardless of a mod community trying to keep the thing up to date, the franchise died.
Grand Prix 5 was scheduled for an Xbox and console release but this never happened and now Geoff seems to have vanished of planet Earth except for some C++ coding, examining the mating habits of the garden mole.
So my question... what did Digitser have to do with this legend's fall from grace and can it be regained with anything more than an apology?
Love and kisses as always,
Dimples x
This is a very good question. Does anybody know anything about the man Crammond, and his current whereabouts?
I think I met him once, on a trip to the Microprose offices in the mid-90s, where he demonstrated what would've probably been Grand Prix 2. Probably. I have next to no memory of that, beyond a vague recollection of not sharing his enthusiasm for how realistic the game was going to be. Maybe that came across, and it sowed a seed of disillusionment within him, which led ultimately to him quitting the industry. I like to think so.
Also, I know I owe you an email about that immersive theatre thing, but I see that they're only doing dates over the last week in August, when I'm hoping to be away. Which is very annoying.
Yes: I reply to your messages through the Digitiser letters page now.
NOW AND HEN
Greetings Digi' People.
Can you do an in depth feature on chickens in games from years gone by? Chicken characters never seem to get much recognition and the only one in a game that I can think of was in Eternal Champions on the Mega CD. Surely more chicken characters have been in video games, haven't they?
Richard Heath. Pontlottyn, South Wales
Er... Zelda? Skyrim? Alfred Chicken? Chuckie Egg? Chickens are a video game staple! Also, they are yummy in my tummy-tummy.
WHAT A MUG
Dear Digitiser,
I've taken delivery of a Tea Prancer mug and given it to the purchasing manager where I work, because of our shared love of tea (although we disagree on which is best; I say PG Tips, she says Yorkshire)
As you can see, she's happy with the mug.
Unfortunately, I took advantage of getting an actual Tea Prancer and I can't get the bugger out from the CIO's desk. We're getting some very strange looks from the neighbouring creative agency with the noises that are emerging. Plus our biscuit barrel is suspiciously empty.
(Love the show, Digi Live was fantastic).
Richard Purves
I'm pleased your purchasing manager likes her mug, Pervert. That's a very thoughtful gift. Unfortunately, all this picture tells me is that you've shoved a mug in her hand, and told her to pose. Until I know otherwise, I'm going to assume you're a liar.
POTTY ASS
Good day Lord Bigfoot...
Wow that was some autocorrect right?
Anyhoo, Biffo, sir.
Let me be completely honest here.
Once Digitiser on Teletext came to an end, I had no idea that it eventually lived on as a website. I remember having 1 or 2 things on the Letter Section on teletext. One being "You haven't lived until you've played WarioWare with the Dancing Stage Mario Mix Dance Mat."
Trust me, it was fucking good fun ok?!
Ok the question I guess... If you could pick any gaming franchise to write the script/story for... what would it be?
With your potty ass humour, I'd reckon Conker would be a great fit for you. Also, keep up the great work on the Channel.
I love you all, especially our beautiful Octavius
fellow YouTuber CloudLXXXV
(Cloud L Triple X V)
I'm not sure I'd want to do the script for a funneee game, and I don't share Paul Gannon's enthusiasm for Conker, unfortunately.
I'd rather have a crack at something more grounded, like The Last of Us. Anything post-apocalyptic, in fact.
Or Tomb Raider, because I think the character has been ill-served over the last few games. I'm all for making Lara Croft's character more rounded and real, but does she have to be so boring?! She should be the female Indiana Jones! Give her some one-liners! Make her cynical and sarcastic! She's so utterly dull now. All the fun has gone.
ROCK ON TOMMY
I've got a serious question this week and it's unrelated to video games.
I know you like prog rock and related genres, but can you name at least five albums you unconditionally love? It's a tough one but as a big music fan I like to know these things and can waste a lot of time talking about with other nerds.
Today mine are (they change):
The Clash - London Calling
Metallica - Kill 'Em All
The Specials - ST
Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material
Choking Victim - No Gods, No Managers
Napalm Death - Scum
That's six, not five. Anyway, my SIX, in no particular order (and, inevitably, these can change depending on the day), are...
Royworld - Man In The Machine
Marillion - F.E.A.R.
Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
MR FUNNY GUY
In the creation of any video game, a variety of artists are drawn upon for their talents. Writers, artists, composers, programmers, poets, sculptors - just some of the myriad talents combined into a finished game.
However, all these endeavors are converted into a list of numbers. As players, we consume the product, appreciating (or not, as the case may be) the smorgasbord of delights presented to us.
And yet all of our interactions with any game can be summed up as changing some numbers into other numbers. All that work, all that creativity, just to toggle bits.
All videogames are experienced through the focal point of numbers. My question is this - what old school game do you think should get a remake?
elnikoman
Husssssss.
While I am at least three weeks late for this, because I either get distracted by work, a lack of sleep or a video game or something, I thought I would share my experience regarding DigiLive.
I remember arriving on the scene just before The Teletext Fringe Event opened. I saw some Teletext-using televisions, something I haven't seen in decades and played a Bomberman style game against some complete (very friendly) strangers. Then I met up with Mentski and followed him to Morrisons for beers.
After I had a few, I started feeling a lot less anxious. I got to say hello to some friendly YouTuber Type People, like Jaws19 and Gaming Muso, and I got to meet up with a lot of people from the lovely community put together by Nikki and Bunty. Like Nikki and Bunty.
Unsurprisingly, they were all very lovely. I think I spent a fair bit of time hanging out in a car park drinking beer and talking to nice people, so even before the main event, I can safely say I had a lovely time.
Then the main event happened. And it was amazing. I am glad other people managed to capture footage of the event, because I think so much amazing happened between The Tribute to Bronk (RIP) Pac-Man For Real, the Antiques Roadshow bit, Sniffing Mario's Pipes (EEEEEEEEE!), the David Braben song (No, it won't escape my mind either), Octavius' tribute song and the whole Clive Sinclair Saga (I LOVE HORSES), it was hard for me to remember all the things what happened. I know I am forgetting something!
The only negative was as soon as the show ended, I needed to hightail it back to the train station to catch the last train home, so I didn't get a chance to say hello to any of the performers at the bar. This may have been for the best though, because I may have just said something awkward and embarrassing like "Hello. I like show". Or something.
To sum up, Had a great day, thank you for making it happen!
El Greenio Screenio
PS. Before the show started, did Mr Safety's Safety Song from Biffovision get played? I vaguely remember it did, but I had spent most of the day in a sunny car park drinking, so I won't rule out imagining it.
Yes! Mr Safety's song was indeed played before the show. As was Future Kids from Biffovision. I thought that'd be fun for those who remembered them. Glad you enjoyed the show, Greenio. I think we're all agreed that it was one of the best nights of our lives. We will do another. Heck, we were even batting some ideas around yesterday...
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD
Hello Mr Biffoo,
What colour pen do you use when writing?
(Okay, I might have watched too much Chris Sievey/Frank Sidebottom recently but still its a good question).
The amazing youthful looking Daphne Blake (not the scooby doo one)
I don't know what that question has to do with Frank Sidebottom. Ignoring the fact you're being whimsical, probably, I would prefer to use a black, medium nib, Sharpie.
ENJOYNA
Just thought you should know that I bought an Enya CD the other day.
Jon Clay. Taunton, Somerset
I genuinely liked the first Enya album, Cassius. The day I bought it, I also bought myself a Chinese takeaway for lunch, and I sat in my bedroom listening to the album and eating the takeaway.
Anyway. Who buys CDs in 2019?!? Have they become some sort of hipster thing now?
KING DONG
Good Evening Biff Finder General,
I only just got round to watching King Of Kong, the documentary detailing the rivalry between arcade gamers nice guy Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell, the world's number one twerp. So my question is this - do you have a kid's bum wipe moment, a time when you have neglected your real life duties because you are due to get a high score or something like that?
Mine was when I was on support for work and I ignored several phone calls cos I was having really great round on Battlefront. I think I told them I was tending to my sick wife.
Yours in anticipation,
I don't know if I have ever really done that, J. Edgar. I've certainly put off getting out of bed because I've been playing on my Switch. Though that has more to do with really liking my bed than getting lost in a game.
Hi Mr. Biffo,
Following your request for more insights into life on the water, this week we'll be focussing on tunnels.
Tunnels were invented when canal builders were too lazy to go around hills and decided to just go through the middle of them. Typical of pre-Victorian inginuity, they were built by tying a load of rabbits together and telling them there were carrots waiting on the other side. However, this did not work and they instead sent large men down shafts from the top and told them to dig sideways until they met the other large men.
Some tunnels are a few miles long, and take about 45mins to get through. It's a bit like a 2mph but more dangerous version of that Desert Bus game, just with cold, damp, and drippings from above. To recreate the experience I would recommend sitting in a car (at night) in a dark windy spot when it's raining, and wind the windows down a bit, while staring at a single teeny light in the distance.
All tunnels have at least 3 ghosts. Usually these are people who've died in the tunnel at somepoint (perhaps by hitting their head and falling in and drowning, or having the life literally squeezed out of every orifice in a construction mishap).
It's good to know however that they do tend to work in shifts (some tunnels get quite busy in the summer months), and they can be reassigned from a less popular tunnel to another one during the holiday season.
Typical tunnel ghost work involves hair pulling, making spooky noises, and farting talcom powder into unsuspecting boater's faces, but it is possible to avoid these supernatural nuisences by learning from video games!
In Earthbound, you progress through a haunted tunnel by simply playing loud music as you go through. The same Is true for boat tunnels, and I can happily say that so far I've yet to have my hair teased, or been perturbed by strange noises, and my face is talcom fart-free!
These days people drive through using 'engines' (part of the fun there is trying to keep ahead of the exhaust cloud you're creating (which is also being drawn to the exit) and hoping you don't get gassed!), but in the olden days they'd attach legs to the boat (legging) and it'd walk through, or they'd just throw the horses in and make them swim ahead.
So there's some sorely needed educational content for your readers, and everyday advice that be can applied to almost any situation. Plus, I know you enjoy art so here's an image of what tunnels look like when they think no one is looking, you can even see the horrors inside!
Mr S.
This is the most exciting boat tale yet! I now want to steer a boat through a long tunnel. I am imagining it's like that weird scene in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, with the chicken getting its head cut off.
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing...
50 Qs OF WHYTE
421) Due to Rockstar & Take Two's 'creative' accounting procedures (allegedly), does this render their in-game satire toothless? It strikes me that, as with so many before them, they like to act like outsiders but behave just like any other rich company.
422) What do you think have been the biggest stories in computer games? Gamer Gate is surely one, but what are the others, not necessarily scandals, that define computer games journalism?
423) Could it be argued that, because of the games he developed, but also due to the engines that he was primarily responsible for, John Carmack is the single most influential person in computer games history?
424) On a related note, whom would you regard as the most influential woman in computer games history and why?
425) In the spirit of Playstation's recent Twitter question, what are your favourite games for each Playstation console?
I will split mine between my favourites and those which I would most associate with each console.
PS1 - WipEout 2097
PS2 - Metal Gear Solid 2
PSP - God of War: Chains of Olympus
PS3 - Bayonetta
PS Vita - Gravity Rush
PS4 - The Witcher 3
PS VR - Rez Infinite
Most Iconic:
PS1 - Gran Turismo (just)
PS2 - Shadow of the Colossus
PSP - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
PS3 - The Last of Us
PS Vita - Lumines Electronic Symphony
PS4 - Horizon Zero Dawn
PS VR - Blood and Truth
There are so many I could choose instead but they should do. I honestly believe that Sony has the most diverse range of good games across its consoles.
John Whyte
421) I've learned a lot from you, John, when you ask me questions about things I know nothing about. Usually, I'm forced to have to go and look it up. In this case, I've looked up this matter and can't find what you're talking about. You've finally stumped me!
422) I'm loathe to call out any particular gaming journalism stories (because most of the ones I can think of ARE scandals). The first one that springs to mind is Doritosgate, but that got taken up by the Gamergate cause. Back in Digi's heyday we often called out our fellow journos, and I feel a bit guilty now that we in some way contributed to sowing the seeds of that whole "fake news" thing.
423) John Carmack? He's definitely influential, but I dunno about being the most influential. Tomohiro Nishikado deserves way more credit; he invented Space Invaders, and rarely even gets mentioned.
424) Blimey. It says a lot that I'm struggling to answer that question. Roberta Williams, for sure. And I hope Amy Hennig becomes influential, because lots of games could benefit from her work.
425) Okay... let me see... I suspect it'll be a Naughty Dog-fest...
PS1 - Destruction Derby
PS2 - Jak 3
PS Vita - Uncharted: Golden Abyss
PS4 - Red Dead Redemption 2
PSVR - Superhot
SWITCHES OF EASTWICKE
So, I finally caved and bought myself a Switch. I've always thought Nintendo are the tippy-toppest, and love pretty much everything they do, so it's weird that such a fanboy like moi is so late to the party. But, you know, money doesn't just pop out of question mark boxes in real life, and these bad boys are not cheap...
But man oh man do I love this thing! I had assumed I would never undock it from the telly, but it actually does work great as a handheld too. And everything has that quality Nintendo feel. It's great. Not a fan of Luigi's stupid patronising mustache face asking if I need help when I keep dying on Mario Maker, but that's on me I guess.
So, obviously I'll be buying all the standard first party game choices (eventually), but what would you recommend, indie download-wise? I know you weren't into Cadence of Hyrule, but I love me some rythym-game action AND Zelda, so I'm really enjoying that. Especially as it (and the Switch in general) seems geared to quick gaming bursts while I wait for tea to cook or whatever.
But yeah, the e-shop is a bit overwhelming, just for the sheer volume of things on there, so any kind of a steer would be aces. Maybe a top 5? Or 3? Or none. You're the boss.
Also: loving the variety we're getting from the Digi Minis. Keep 'em coming!
Sausages.
Dan
I too love my Switch. It's fast become one of my favourite consoles of all time. Indie-wise... get any of Mr Shifty, Ape Out, Dead Cells, Celeste, Katana Zero, Shakedown Hawaii, Yoku's Island Express, or Owlboy.

I've not yet looked at Sod's Facebook page, but I'm sure it's excellent. Why don't you go and check it out, and let me know if it's worth a visit?
And with that? That's the end of this week's letters! New video Sunday, don't forget. It's an explosive one...
WhatHoSnorkers
We went on a canal boat holiday for my friend Chris' birthday. The tunnels were coated with what can only be described as "Ghost Jizz".
Huge amounts of the stuff.
Tunnels are where they deposit what they collect from Ray Stantz.
Mr.S
Sounds like a very popular tunnel

It's just one big ghost

Albums we love unconditionally, you say? Why, this is something I can actually contribute on!
Here are my 6:
The National - High Violet
Performance - (We Are) Performance
British Sea Power - The Decline Of British Sea Power
Pixies - Doolittle
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Mclusky - Do Dallas
Very nice to see some Mclusky love
I have fond memories of hopping around The Kam Bar in Cambridge whilst Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues blares out.
Oh yes, similar story here. I'm very excited to be seeing them next month; hopefully my 40 year-old limbs don't let me down. 15 years since the last time I saw them, jeez...
Pete Davison link
This letters page does not have enough fart noises. Where is the thumbs down button?
Apparently Geoff Crammond is keeping a low profile these days and contributing to a few programming projects here and there. He hasn't done anything "big" since the early '00s, though.
CloudLXXXV
Paul Gannon has good taste ;)
Honestly though, i would totally play a PA game penned by yourself.
On a side note, I still buy CDs to this day.
Only CDs of albums or bands that I really love of course.
Meatballs-me-branch-me-do
The best video game vomiting has to be Theme Park, because of the sound effects and chain reaction leading to an endless cacophony of the sound effects.
Second place might be little-known DOS beat em up "Executioners", wherein the first boss would grab you and vomit on you.
I don't know about Crammond, but I did discover yesterday that obscure container ship game Ports of Call is still going and an update to the mobile version is in the works, too.
Mr S, that canal tunnel photo has fritted the shit out of me. The Rosie From the HMS Ragdoll especially.
Ten points.
Robobob
I spent so much time on Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 2, 3 and 4.
The original PS1 Psygnosis Formula 1 game (and to some extent f1 '97) was the first F1 game that truly blew me away because it looked and felt so much like F1 on the TV - but it was the Geoff Crammond games that had the depth.
I even bought the shitty GP 2000 add-on pack/CD that added the Sepang and Indianapolis circuits from memory (and not a lot else).
they're still sitting in a box up the stairs along with all manner of random PC games from that era because I've never quite understood how you play them on modern Windows yet never quite been bothered enough to actually find out how you do it. I assume it is possible, yes?
Sedric-and-Charlie
I'm a bit of a Syd Barrett wonk when it comes to Pink Floyd, but I do love that soaring guitar solo on 'The Final Cut''s title track. I don't know why it got dropped from 'The Wall', considering it obviously would go on side 3 and side 3's mostly just filling time until they can get to Comfortably Numb
Dunno about six best albums, that changes a lot apart from 'Pawn Hearts' by Van Der Graaf Generator usually hogging the top spot
My missus still buys loads of cd's. Came as a shock to her when her new used car didn't come with a CD player as it turns out manufacturers have been getting rid of them for half a decade or so.
I feel her pain a bit, when you're driving cd's are easy to navigate and change without much fuss. Navigating through your albums on the in car entertainment or on streaming services is downright dangerous.
I swear to god I can remember that Wari Warr Dance Mat letter from back in the day!
(and my memory is usually quite quite bad)
Wari Warr?!?
Waro Ware!
Yeah, thanks a lot Apple autocorrect!
Wario Ware!
Was sending my email on my iPhone and yup..
Good old Apple Auto Correct.
I'm sure there are other games that only use the D-Pad + A & B Buttons on the GameCube.
WarioWare though was damn perfect for it!
I was looking like an ejjit even before the Wii released! Lol

Thanks for the plug. The search continues for the food shop called Mr Biffo. Not a bar as I originally thought. Narrowed it down to the 10 Portugues speaking countries at least. If only they'd put their bloody address! We could've parachuted in on Google earth and snapped it. In all of the interwebs they've only got that Facebook page with 2 cryptic photos to go off of. The search continues. There's a trip advisor account called Biffo so maybe they'll find it for us because they're probably as intrigued as we are.
At least I found out I can get aardvark on a pizza in Kilmarnock. YOLO

Sunday Supper at Union Market is a major fundraising effort for the Executive Education Program for Women in the Culinary Industry, a collaboration of the James Beard Foundation and EDENS—the developer of Union Market and one of the nation's premier retail real estate companies—to provide important scholarships to identify, cultivate and advance the next generation of business leaders. "Having women in executive leadership roles and women in equity positions, is not just a social good, it's good for business," explains Jodie W. McLean, CEO of EDENS and member of the James Beard Foundation's National Advisory Board. This intensive leadership course will provide the tools, techniques and financial training to support women entrepreneurs in food and beverage. With a strikingly small percentage of culinary leadership positions in America held by women, the Executive Education Program is aimed at experienced female chefs and craftspeople that aspire to top jobs and ownership of restaurants or culinary business. Joining McLean at Sunday Supper will be James Beard Foundation President Susan Ungaro and Executive Vice President Mitchell Davis along with a host committee of culinary greats and avid supporters of women in the culinary industry, including chef Ris Lacoste and author Joan Nathan. "Three years ago we launched our JBF Women In Culinary Leadership mentoring program for junior chefs. Thanks to Jodie McLean's leadership, and WICL's success, we are delighted to take this important initiative to the executive chef level," says Ungaro.
TICKETS FOR SUNDAY SUPPER are $250 per person ($200 for James Beard Foundation members). Proceeds benefit the James Beard Foundation and the Executive Education Program: $150 of the ticket price is tax deductible, $125 is tax deductible for the Member ticket.

Today JBF continues in the same spirit by administering a number of diverse programs that include educational initiatives, food industry awards, scholarships for culinary students, publications, chef advocacy training, and thought-leader convening. The Foundation also maintains the historic James Beard House in New York City's Greenwich Village as a "performance space" for visiting chefs. For more information, please visit jamesbeard.org.

I've been lucky enough to visit the set of Corrie – and now Emmerdale to interview cast members for Lorraine.
I say lucky because the feeling of walking onto the cobbles – then more recently lingering outside the Woolpack – was one of a prize winner. A soap fan in her pyjamas eating Digestives who has crawled through her tv screen.
And Emmerdale was something else. A real village built just for the show – a gorgeous stone church, houses, the local shop, the Woolpack. Perfect, in fact.
And the feeling from actors was that they couldn't get over their luck in coming to 'work' every day surrounded by the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside with a group of colleagues they considered friends.
To boot, the press officer was hilarious and the Lorraine team, as ever, an absolute joy.

Minister to reassess situation after tender for Cyprus-Greece ferry link fails to attract proposals
Vassilis Demetriades, Cyprus Shipping Deputy Minister said he will begin contacts to reassess the situation after a tender for sea passenger line, linking Cyprus and Greece, aided by state subsidies, failed to attract binding offers.
The maritime connection between Cyprus and Greece has been inactive since 2000. The Deputy Ministry sought to revive the connection with a €5 million pen annum of state subsidy approved by the EU's DG Competition. However, the tender for proposals ended on Friday without attracting any binding offers. Under the tender terms, the connection was due to commence in the summer of 2021 amid the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We will begin contacts immediately to chart the way ahead," Demetriades told CNA, stressing that the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated uncertainty concerning the commercial aspect of the connection should be taken into account seriously.
Under the the EU rules concerning general economic interest services, the state subsidy was solely associated with the passenger aspect of the sea line.
Demetriades said he will consult on Monday with the Deputy Ministry's technocrats to assess the situation and decide on the way forward. The meeting will determine whether the tender was negatively affected by the pandemic or by other reasons.
"If it is evident that the pandemic was the decisive factor that affected the tender, we would have no problem in relaunching the tender at a later stage," he said, adding that the Deputy Ministry is determined to pursue the task in a manner consisted with EU rules.
On his part, Thomas Kazakos, General Director of the Cyprus Shipping Chamber, commended the Deputy Ministry's efforts to promote the sea connection but added that the commercial circumstances, combined with the negative impact of pandemic, were not conducive in attracting long-term commitments.

Internet Relay Chat protocol for client and server.
The way the IRCClient class works here encourages people to implement IRC clients by subclassing the ephemeral protocol class, and it tends to end up with way more state than it should for an object which will be destroyed as soon as the TCP transport drops. Someone oughta do something about that, ya know?
The DCC support needs to have more hooks for the client for it to be able to ask the user things like "Do you want to accept this session?" and "Transfer #2 is 67% done." and otherwise manage the DCC sessions.
Test coverage needs to be better.
Variable MAX_COMMAND_LENGTH The maximum length of a command, as defined by RFC 2812 section 2.3.

Whitespace near str[length] will be preferred as a breaking point. "\n" will also be used as a breaking point.
Convert a value to an integer if possible.
Parse an IRC mode string.
The mode string is parsed into two lists of mode changes (added and removed), with each mode change represented as (mode, param) where mode is the mode character, and param is the parameter passed for that mode, or None if no parameter is required.

We here at E! News like to dream, and the 2018 Emmy Awards sure were dreamy.
The fashion was gorgeous, the drinks were flowing, and the celebs were mingling, making us all a little envious of the glitz, the glamour, and the friendships sure to be forming.
One thing we also saw as we scoured social media accounts and professional image sites was a whole lot of squandered nostalgia potential as celebs who formerly starred together on beloved TV shows didn't appear to take the time to publicly pose together, meaning they deprived us of the reunions we're literally always dreaming of.
Here we've compiled a list of all that squandered potential, all while letting those celebs know they've still got time at all those afterparties to make our dreams come true!
Christina Yang and George O'Malley were both in attendance tonight. Oh was nominated for outstanding lead actress for her role in Killing Eve, and Knight was with his fellow cast of Genius: Picasso, which was nominated for outstanding limited series. Would it have killed them to take a pic together? Or to dance it out together in the aisle of the theater? We don't think that's too much to ask.
Listen, we've got a fever and the only prescription is a Nurse Jackie reunion. Need we say more?
These three being everywhere is likely going to continue for a while since they're all very buzzy people on very buzzy shows, but that only means there are more opportunities they're not taking to get together. Just think of all those Team Jess fans still trying to hold out hope that Rory's baby somehow belongs to him!
Glover has long moved past Community to become one of today's most respected artists, but sometimes, we just really miss Troy. An antic or two with Alison Brie, who played Annie and now stars in Netflix's GLOW, is really truly what our heart desires.
Remember when Peggy and Pete had a baby together and Peggy didn't even know she was pregnant? It would be totally cool if Moss and Kartheiser got together to take a pic and to also wonder what ever became of their child, to then be joined by Alison Brie (who played Pete's wife) and Kartheiser's real-life wife Alexis Bledel (who played Pete's fling) for one heck of a Pete party.
Justice for Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden—the real ones, not the actors, who both won the Emmy for those roles. But also justice for us for not getting the pic of them together that we require.
Clear eyes, full hearts, where is our pic of Landry and Tami catching up? Imagine Tami discovering that Landry has since had a baby with Kirsten Dunst! He sure has come a long way since helping Tyra murder that guy.
This was truly a night for SNL stars former and current, and Bill Hader did just reprise Stefon when he hosted SNL earlier this year, but any time Hader and Mulaney are in the same room and on camera and not giving us Stefon's latest tips for a great night out is an opportunity missed.
Did we miss any potential reunions? Hit us up at @eonlinetv!


Phthalates are man-made, endocrine-disrupting chemicals known to be extremely harmful, even if you don't consider the obesity slant. Thus far, phthalates have been linked to endocrine system disruption, reduced sperm counts, testicular atrophy and structural abnormalities in the reproductive systems of males and liver cancer. This chemical is typically found in personal care products such as perfume, lotions, nail polish and cosmetics; varnishes; medication or nutritional supplement coatings; plastic flooring and wall coverings; food processing materials; toys and more. Beyond childhood exposure, children may also be exposed to phthalates by their mother while she's pregnant. Currently, The Nemours Foundation notes that 1 in 3 kids in America are overweight or obese. While there's no doubt that excessive portion sizes and an almost total lack of exercise contribute heavily to the childhood obesity epidemic, it's scary that chemicals, which are all around us, may also play a part. You can help lower your own child's exposure by using safe, non-toxic bath products and by avoiding plastic toys, plastic water bottles and other child products containing harmful chemicals.
Wow, that's insane. My question is, is this causal or correlative? Are parents who live lifestyles that lead to childhood obesity more likely to expose kids to phtalates? Or is the phlalate the cause of the increased BMI? I ask because obesity is also associated with lower incomes; and the cheapest baby care products tend to have the more toxic ingredients.
