Food
It's late evening.
It's fucking hot. 28°.I had a big batch of ragù alla bolognese I needed to do something with.
So, instead of portioning it and freezing it like a sensible person, what do you think I did?
What any other normal insane person does when it's this hot and muggy: fire up the oven at 220° and make lasagne alla bolognese from scratch.
- Dios Mio, in this weather?
It looks wonderful, but you're cooking yourself inside and out, you mad bastardNairn - It was like eating a meat and béchamel flavoured brick. Oh, but what a glorious brick.Continuity

recent vinyl finds
I got a call and went to visit a woman in town who said her husband died 3 years ago and that she wanted to get rid of his collection which was now in the garage. She told me she planned to put them into auction sometime but as she saw my ad offered me the chance to take what I wanted for £5 each. So I spent over £1,500 and she was very happy with that, even inviting me to come back in a few weeks before they all get carted off to auction and the pictured selection is just a quarter of what there was. She said just wants shot of them and doesn't care about their possible value, but I didn't take the piss, I basically took what I actually wanted to keep as there were so many I had never seen before and I have been collecting for over 40 years! There were whole runs of Tom Waits, Cure, Soft Machine, Nick Drake, tons of reggae, punk, jazz and folk, sometimes it was like flipping through my own collection. So these pictured are just a few of the ones I have been listening to and enjoying in the last week or so, but I'm looking forward to going back again and digging deeper. I left thousands of CD's, box sets, so many unopened, but I can't even imagine when I'd get the time to listen to the entire Spooky Tooth back catalogue for example. The experience has also made me reconsider what I should keep of my own collection, so many of his were in such good condition I have upgraded many of my own and so will be doing a big cull to make room for his and put ones of mine I have not played for years back into the wild, what goes around comes around.
Excellent late 70's comp produced by Hal Willner, which came with a label catalogue.
Another great compilation, this one of mid 70's progressive Virgin artists.
Lots of Robert Wyatt related records including all his solo albums and appearances like on these three.
I left all the Steve Miller related albums as I pretty much have them all, but I had not seen this soundtrack before.Other odd ones I liked to look of.
This double on Dead Oceans was a sweet surprise too.- Curious... What is your most expensive (value) vinyl? Do you ever find some gems in these collections you get? Just wondering. :)hydro74
- I sold my most valuable one a few years ago : https://gripsweat.co…Gardener
- I still have super rare stuff squirreled away of course lolGardener
- The Banksy sold to a Paris art gallery, I took the kids on holiday with the proceedsGardener
- those matching mole records have been on my wantlist forever... i'm sure i remember watching an interview with zoot horn rollo recently where he mentionedkingsteven
- that virgin compilation.kingsteven
- That Bill Fay. He has the best Jesus etc cover, but There is a Valley is one of those hits. Great find.garbage

- Designed by ex-Apple Jony Ive and Marc Newsom (and their studio LoveFrom)NBQ00
- is the target market ultra wealthy people who believe they are ironically buying a car which angers poor people.kingsteven
- I think the design is fine, like NBQ00 said below, it doesn't fit "Ferrari" IMO. Everyone and their uncle are redesigning it / the hate is strong...ideaist
- ...announced YESTERDAY!
Lolz @ the pace and immediacy of said hate.ideaist - I quite like it as a car. As a Ferrari I think it's terrible, at least externally. Especially at that price. If it was a 'budget' model? Yeah, sure, why not.Nairn
- Anyone dropping a half mill on a Ferrari isn't going to want this. It's just so odd.Nairn
- I like it.Continuity
- it probably looks really dope in blackneverscared
- Does it come in black and will it call me “Michael”?PonyBoy
- It's got the horsey and it's expensive, looks like a Ferrari to me.palimpsest
- From what i read this morning, it looks like the performance is 'about as good' as a higher end BYD or the Tesla S,w hcih costs a fraction of this thing's.Nairn
- To be clear - the inside and the general UI looks great, and evolutionary. Somewhat beyond mere cars even, I'd suggest.Nairn

- Ferrari is the one car institution that could afford to take its legacy of stylish ICE cars to its grave, avoiding electric altogether, why did they bother?prophetone
- It's not because of environment or affordability, it's not to improve on its established image, I mean it's a great design exercise I suppose?prophetone
- You could buy 3-4 certified pre-owned ICE cars for this price pointprophetone
- If this was sub-100K I think everyone's tune would shiftprophetone
- All things considered, though, even the negative reactions to this are pretty muted compared to the Jaguar re-brand.Continuity

Hyper-literal Danish words
Half those words are basically German, and another quarter are Dutch.
I'm afraid Denmark hasn't cornerned the market on lexical weirdness, sorry.
- *corneredContinuity
- Zipper = "Lightning lock"
Fermeture éclair in French.
Which makes more sense because it's the act of closing, not the lock itself that is quick.palimpsest - Unless they meant the pastry.palimpsest
- ^Continuity
- Fermeture éclair is also decidedly better than "zig-zaggy pully thing".Continuity
- Zipper was definitely a design by committee name. By the same team that named the Frisbee.palimpsest

I’m flying to Lisbon today for a ten day Portugeasy trip. It’s already stupid fucking hot here in the UK, so may as well go somewhere that’s even hotter. Any recommendations of places to check out, lemme know folks. X
- A shame Shapesalad's not here to wax on about all the Portuguese spots... .Nairn
- Be sure to go to Porto, too. And while you're there, the city Gaia on the other side of the river. Maybe Peniche / Baleal. Tourist spots, but nice ones :)jagara

PhanLo
Such sad news. We were honoured to have PhanLo share his time, views and art with us on QBN.
Being a creative and artist in Edinburgh we have a lot of shared friends or friends of friends. PhanLo was always someone I always thought I'd bump into somewhere and share a fellow QBNer moment.
Having such a social overlap the amount of tribute posts I am seeing daily on my instagram feed is truly incredible.
I saw one from his younger cousin talking about how uplifted he would feel when PhanLo complimented him on his art, it seemed he'd been a mentor to him, and many others.
I totally felt that comment. When I shared my art or design on QBN and got a positive comment from PhanLo it really meant something getting kudos from such a talented artist.Your art posts and vibes will be missed on QBN.
RIP PhanLo
<3
