    EU banking Authority is going to Paris. Paris and Dublin were drawn in the final round and they pulled a name out of a hat supposedly. Paris smells of wee.

    Sounds awesome, I had a similarly good night. I broke up some glass to chew on, then I took a comb and gently brushed my eyeballs and then I hid a few fish heads around the house and turned the heat on.

    Still though - listening to a Deep House mix by James Haskell sounds even better!

    isn’t it just the same as dance music?

    House music is a genre within dance music. That's the way I'd look at it

    Funk, trance, techno, electro, garage, jungle, drum n bass, hardcore etc...

    So many genres in "dance" music....I prefer the more tribal house sounds of Steve Lawler myself.

    3-bed 2-bath House has been killing in Dublin the past 4 or 5 years.

    Yeah it's a pretty broad title. But it's better than the Americans with their EDM.

    Current favourites are Todd Terje & Paul Kalkbrenner. Older stuff would be Underworld & Orbital

    Band wise, you can't beat a bit of LCD Soundsystem

    What's special about house that it gets its own genre?

    I'd definitely put LCD into the dance music category. Give them a listen (anything except 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' or 'New York I love you'. I recommend 'Get Innocuous', 'Us VS Them', 'All my Friends' or 'Someone Great'). Quality

    So I bought a massive thing of meat in a German supermarket last night. I honestly thought it was a pig's trotter, but when I got home and Googled Putenschenken, turns out it's a Turkey leg. It's a feckin beast of a thing, 2.3kg. Would you use the standard chicken cooking guidelines for this? I.e., 190C for 20mins per lb + 20mins? So in this case approx 2hrs?

    House music is what you hear in shoe shops.

    I'd boil it in it's own pìss for 3 years at 545 degrees...then leave it aside for 20 minutes.

    Short answer is yes. It may cook quicker if the bone is in it.

    If that's the weight of a leg, it must have been the turkey equivalent of a TH prop. :D

    Is it already smoked? I googled it and it seems to come up with a lot of "smoked turkey" results...

    Here's the beast:

    (Just for perspective, my hands are so big I can palm a fullsized basketball).

    It doesn't appear to be smoked, but I'll check it out when I open it later.

    Can't go anywhere with an extradition treaty with Italy either.
