Spain is shit, really, there you go. There's a lot of food I hate in Spain. And why are you buying precooked frozen crap? Buy ingredients raw and fresh or raw and frozen when fresh, but unless you're buying something exotic that comes from far away there's really no need for it?

Not at all, it's perfectly nice cooked over coal with just salt. But it's naturally tough so a long cooking time is better, you could say the same about some beef. The video I posted uses the meat to give flavor to the rice primarily, it's the other way around, and the result is a very rich dish if make properly. We look at the UK in the same way with their sauces and bland stuff. Anyway, you have a pre steamed octopus in a bag, look forward to hear how that's better than something frozen from fresh and defrosted before cooking. Octopus is maybe only kind of meat that naturally works better frozen and defrosted for an unexperienced cook since it breaks some of the fibers and makes it softer. A bigger animal might be more flavorful but difficult to cook, it'll vary from hard to soft to hard again as it cooks. Regarding the olive oil, better quality is always better but there are very different flavors. Normally you'll find it stronger and a little more imposing if it comes from most of spain and lower portugal, from dry plains where it easy to plant in industrial farming resorting to intensive watering. Try some from a harsh climate and mountainous area and you still might not like it but the taste is completely different. Normally olive trees in new farming produce oil after 3 or 4 years of intensive watering, can't compare that with 200 year old trees that don't get watered.

Bob's picture of you make it look like a much more serious water crossing

Boiled or steamed and served with paprika is very popular in Galicia, it's also plain and tasteless and boring as fuck, and does no justice to killing an octopus.

Starting from raw, to make it tasty you need olive oil and garlic and small taters and the oven. That's not your thing until you try it properly done, you should. Do I understand correctly and is it already steamed and ready to eat? If all there is inside is water use that to make a properly nice rice, like so:

I find a good kick in the tire is a nice way to check tire pressures too, and if the metal wheel is touching to ground the tire is too empty

I look forward to that, and maybe even a small video properly explaining how it works

Found it:

So a few protesters glued themselves to the ground on a Porsche museum in Germany, and stated that their aim is to get Germany to drop speed limits on all motorways to 100kmh. What did Porsche employees do instead of calling the cops? Closed the museum at the end of the day, shut down heating and turned off the lights for the night! The protesters complained that they weren't given bowls to shit in, and that they were hungry, their hands hurt so one of them was taken to the hospital, and they also complained that security guards made their rounds with very bright torch lights I find this hilarious: link

That’s a surprise, it really looks very agile in the pictures! Were you trail braking?

Don’t ruin next month’s fun for those guys

Well, let’s not get into hysterics …

Maybe with the Chinese restaurant dumpster scenery, next time!

Well, I like moist too … but that’s being too picky when you’re talking about dirtroads

There must still be Moroccan dust in my bike too, I still prefer dry to wet

All part of Pete's plan, so then he can complain about them annoying people.

Marcel isn't getting my vote, it's a vertical picture and this isn't Instagram! The helmet on the mirror isn't cool, and he seems to be taking lessons from Rich and Pete, park your bike somewhere with what looks like really nice light and scenery but then take a shit closeup picture of it, I bet some of you UKers are envious of his small plate, though! Fred's Honda isn't getting my vote this time, looks like the same old picture apparently with different filters. I have nothing against editing pictures but this one made it look shit compared to the usual luxurious green. The shadow across the road is pretty cool though. Skippy's Kawasaki is never getting my vote with a picture showing those hideous red stripes on the wheels and middle of the bike, taking an OK bike and putting that shit on screams bad taste. It was bought like that, but in that case you either don't buy it or take the stripes off. Forgetting about the stripes for a moment, though, and it's a nice enough bike on what looks like a great road, and yet the picture shows mainly a dirt lay by, really, more than 50% of that picture is where motorhomes stop to turn around or dump a body. Pete managed to take a picture of a great looking mountain road, and ........ NO TOP BOX???????? He still managed to botch the angle of the bike, bike is neither in the middle nor in the corner of the picture, the picture is showing more mountain than scenery, and to top it up, a failure by itself, half of that picture is a blanked out license plate. Having no top box show's he's taking this seriously though, but sadly trying too hard also takes away points. The KLR just looks silly to me, with all that stuff piled on it. Must have taken quite some effort to make it dig a hole though. Rich's Hayabusa did 200 miles in his possession and in that ride he managed to only be able to take a picture with glare coming off the light and helmet ... with no scenery whatsoever ... in 200 miles ... it's like he tried to make it look shit!!! It's a cool black Hayabusa so making it look sad like that takes some effort. It's a step up from all the muddy byways and alleys that he's known for, but still shit. Tango's Triumph´s picture is how you frame a bike in a scenery when you want to show the scenery in a conservative way, it's a classy picture in which the bike and the scenery help each other be more than each of those things is on their own, nice one, it should show a little less road and why cropping is a good thing, cropping all that tarmac on the bottom of the picture out would make it a lot better. I'm not voting for it because I just really like the light on Buckster's Harley so I'm voting for that even though it's next to an ugly weird sculpture, would be better with no sculpture behind it, just the open water and the pretty light.

Now that's a good looking road!

If I ever take ride around the uk I will try to sleep on pubs, makes sense and sounds interesting too

Your leisurely half retirement sounds like you’re trying for a stewardess lifestyle

For being pervy or birdwatching?

If you put as much crap on it as on that Enfield it might struggle I think it's 60kmh on Portuguese motorways, hence the joke

Cool looking bike!

Storks, when they’re so many it’s quite something, it does get lost in the picture though
