Why do you need all mnemonics for all these numbers anyway?
Literally the only reason you posted was to use 'mnemonics'.0 -

Myself and my Brazillian roommate were trying to explain what pavlova was to our Estonian roommate and this eventually led to me googling pavlova and reading out pavlova facts. His response to finding out that Pavlova is named after a Russian ballet dancer was 'ahh yes, Maria Sharapavlova'.
It's probably the most stupid yet inspired statement I've ever heard.0 -
Red dotting people for no reason in particular really is one of life's great pleasures.

Looking for some thoughts from folk who have done this before.
Had originally planned to fly to Italy and travel between Rome and Venice, possibly with Florence in between, for 8-12 days. I hate flying for a variety of reasons, so looking to avoid if possible.
I've got it in my head I could travel by rail from Glasgow (and back again!) via some destinations along the way and then do the 10 days (or whatever) in Italy.
So, first of all, does this sound doable or am I in fairyland with this?
If it's doable, any tips?
Just mind that if you're buying an actual interrail ticket then rail travel in the uk won't be covered by it.

I did a pretty similar trip a few years back and used a Caxton fx currency card which was easy to use and had pretty good rates.

I'm hearing our next signing has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but cannot talk and can run but cannot walk.
Sounds like Dean Shiels, right enough.

Some cringe worthy coverage on talksport at the moment. Reading out the names in somber voices with YNWA playing in the background.
Surely to God this didn't actually happen? I near choked on my chips.

Anyone listened to The Hotelier? Recently started listening to their album 'Home, Like Noplace is There' and been chaining it since. Can't link because I'm on a shitty tablet but 'In Framing' and 'Your Deep Rest' are well worth a listen for anyone interested.
Going to see them in Melbourne in a few weeks and it'll be the first decent gig I'll have been to in about 2 years.

This is going to be a tl;dr post, but I've made my peace with that.
I feel I need to stand up for coleslaw a bit. I haven't tried it on pizza, but if the coleslaw was of decent quality, I wouldn't really have a problem having a huge pile of it on the side. I don't see it as being massively different from having rémoulade on the side of fish, beef, chips, etc.
I will say that shop-bought coleslaw is almost entirely without merit; pallid strips of sad cabbage, onion and carrot lurking in a watery bitter white liquid that bears no passing resemblance to mayonnaise? No ta.
But coleslaw? Wonderful stuff. (and I agree it's a bit annoying that many have adopted a hipster fondness for referring to it as "slaw", but this might be in reference to the fact that folk in this country have gradually come round to accepting that carrot/onion/cabbage/mayonnaise is not the only recipe available).

A story to explain the genesis of my fondness for coleslaw:
As a student I attended the Art School in Edinburgh; not the main building, but the wee mini-campus up the close beside Armstrong's vintage clothes on the Grassmarket. There was a little cafe there, too wee to have hot food facilities or a license. As such they mainly just sold simple sandwiches and cakes, however these sandwiches were both cheap and, to my mind, a delight. All were served in the soft Italian rolls with a chewy crust that seem to be ubiquitous in Edinburgh delis. You could have either tuna mayo, coleslaw with tomato, or egg mayo with tomato. I despise canned tuna, but loved both the other sandwiches, and lived off them for lunch for a considerable margin of 4 years. The mayonnaise was home-made with a slightly yellow tint and a sharpness that indicated the addition of a cheeky dash of salad cream. The rolls were over-filled and would usually drip down my face while I ate them . My mouth is actually watering as I type this, and it must be 15 years since I ate them now.
I have tried and mainly failed to recreate that coleslaw in the years since, but as with Marcel Proust's madeleines, the memory alone sustains me.
My 3 favourite (cole)slaws:
1) Basic
This makes a huge bowl, because I use up a whole green cabbage.
5 large Carrots, grated
1 Cabbage & 3 or 4 white onions shredded via the rough attachment in the food processor.
Bound together by: Decent mayonnaise with a dash of salad cream. About a 5th salad cream to mayo. A spoon of wholegrain mustard is good in it. Salt & pepper, obviously.
2) Red. Pretty similar to the first one but I use red cabbage, red onions and grate in a fresh beetroot or two in as well as the carrots. For some reason I always use dijon mustard instead of wholegrain though.
3) Celery and apple
Get all the young tender stems from the inside of a bunch of celery and chop finely along with all the leaves. If you can get the untrimmed bunches that some Morrisons and African/Middle East supermarkets sell you get a lot more leaves which is good.
Get some nice apples, braeburns or cox's work alright for this. Chop into quarters, remove cores then finely slice.
Finely chop some spring onions and flat-leaf parsley.
Combine all together in a bowl with a vinaigrette made from cider vinegar, olive oil, wholegrain mustard and pepper.
This is amazing on the side of some cold smoked fish. Amazing I tells ya.
I await the flurry of PMs thanking me for this unsolicited ramble on the joys of coleslaw.
Utter, utter beast.

I had never used tinder in Scotland before so I had a quick flick through there.
We really are a hideously ugly bunch.
We need immigration and we need it now.
