I normally buy my seeds from the garden centre or Wilkos. I've also had good results in the past from planting the seeds out of the dried chillies that you can buy in the supermarket. For a greater choice of varieties, there are specialist chilli websites.
Just bought a couple of new mini propagators, ready for planting some seeds in the next few weeks.

Was unable to get onto the site at all last night. This morning I'm getting on and off problems in which a page pops up telling me that there is a problem with my SQL server. Just now I got a message saying that there was a fatal db error. But then I tried again and was in without any problems! Quite relieved to hear that other people are experiencing problems, though - I was beginning to think that I had a problem with my internet connection!

Not really enough there to make it worth our while traveling all the way to Porto. May try to catch the Pixies in London.
-
Yep, I'd agree - there were some great line ups last year! This year the line ups, so far, are looking no where near as strong imo.
-
Lucky you - I would love to visit Cuba! A friend from my last job went there twice in a year, which adds up to a whole month, and never managed to travel beyond the hotel enclave and the nearest beach - a total waste of a trip, if you ask me! Do you speak Spanish?
-
Yeah, it is a shame - Korn and Ministry were awesome in 2012, but, then, so were The Pogues!
-
What about more punk? The tent was packed for Anti Nowhere League the other year.
-
200 quid is a lot of cash to part with if, like in our case, there's only a handful of bands that stand out. We'll probably also wait for the rest of the line up and then go for a day, if the weather's okay.

I'm not familiar with Fuckin' Bollocks, but I want to know more about him/her/them.

I'd be very surprised to see much, if any, metal at Sziget this year - it seems to be something that the festival is keen on moving away from ...
-
Way too expensive, I'd say .....

I got to page 68 of that Besteveralbums.com linked on the first page of the thread before I found a page that I didn't have any album I own listed on it, so I suppose I'm relatively well listened. I did notice a lot of bona-fide classics pop up that I've never heard, the ones that stick out are U2 albums and Thriller, and I'm completely ok with missing out on those. I might listen to some more Beatles though, I've only heard Revolver and Sgt Pepper, and I don't actually own anything by them whatsoever. It's about time I listen to the Talking Heads too. Some absolute shitters have slipped onto that list, and I don't recall seeing Searching For The Young Soul Rebels, Cheap Thrills or Vauxhall & I anywhere, I could have overlooked them as it was a bloody long list, but it's clearly broken if they aren't there. I also remember both Parallel Lines and Psychocandy were lingering in criminally low positions, and surrounded by some properly heinous records.

Well, I finally found the time to listen to Horses by Patti Smith and, yes, it's brilliant, yes, it's a classic - and I'm off to buy it right now!
-
I never did get to see The White Stripes, and really wish I had!
-
The article says: 28 de enero se presentara el cartel completo, which translates as: on 28th January the full line up will be presented.
-
I friggin love Dinosaur Jr! They were brilliant at Primavera Porto last year!
-
I actually find it quite difficult to believe that Sziget have booked another dj firework party main stage 'headliner' after the reaction from last year! Feels like they're determined to force the idea onto festival goers, whether they want it or not! It looks to me like they're either trying to mould the format of the festival in a particular way or they have financial constraints (or both), and it doesn't really give me much confidence regarding the rest of the festival line up.
-
Better than expected, but not enough to make me want to buy a ticket just yet.
-
Hmm, so on 28th they'll announce the full line up, and it will be 'the most balanced in the history of the festival'. We'll see! Can't say that the Dum Dum Girls excite me very much!
-
Who would you recomend flying with from UK. I see Ryan air and BA are my two options. I've flown Ryan air to Prague before which was ok. Is it worth paying the extra for BA?
Absolutely, if you can afford it.
-
Yeah, taking into consideration the timing of the announcement, It'd say it's extremely likely that it'll be Outkast plus a few non-headline bands.

I do enjoy a good biography - for the simple reason that I'm really interested in other people and their lives - and I'll even read about people I don't know much about, or even like sometimes, for that matter, because it fascinates me to see how various people's lives have panned out.
As for escapism, I've only fairly recently discovered Terry Pratchet, and I've been busy trying to catch up on his back catalogue.
I think, for many people who don't read for pleasure, it's because it seems like too much effort, when other diversions, like tv, require almost none at all. You know, like in the Bill Hicks joke about the man in a diner with a book? I, personally, like the fact that I'm free to create my own version of the world of the book, rather than a tv maker's interpretation ...

Congratulations!
And, on the plus side, it could have been worse - my poor sister in law, who is tiny, recently endured 24 hours labour to give birth to a 10lb baby boy - double ouch! Understandably, she isn't keen on having another one!
