Zuipen als Frans Duijts in het StamCafé

citaat van een zuiplegende

Kijk wij zijn best aardige gebruikers als het aankomt op alcoholistische lekkernijen als bier, wijn, bier, aperol spritz, bier, champagne, bier, allerhande sterkedrank en bier. Alleen heb je ook Frans Duijts, een innemende volkszanger. Hij onderging in 2019 een maagverkleining omdat hij Duitsland en Frankrijk ook wat betref zijn omvang combineerde en dat was voornamelijk te wijten aan alcohol. Tot zover niks geks. Vandaag komt er echter een ontboezeming uit zijn tegenwoordig iets minder bolle buikje: vóór hij last kreeg van gezond doen DRONK HIJ ZES LITER BACARDI PER WEEK. Zes. Liter. Bacardi. Per week. Daar kun je veel over zeggen, maar niet dat het weinig is. Het was niet per se heel bevorderlijk voor zijn gewicht en gezondheid, hij dwong er wel respect mee af. Nou was Frans Duijts toen natuurlijk een grote jongen die zelf wel wist wat goed voor hem was. Vandaar dat hij nu ook zegt: "Mijn gezondheid is nu veel beter." Maar ja, tegen welke prijs? Frans Duijts is dan misschien een stuk gezonder, maar wel een stuk minder Frans Duijts. Hij staat namelijk niet meer met zijn makkers in de kroeg maar wel in de Libelle. Daarom nemen wij een baco op De Oude Frans, die niet alleen uit volle borst zong, maar ook met volle maag en volle lever. We doen 50 ml Bacardi in een longdrinkglas en tikken er 120 naar binnen om ons nog even één te voelen met die goeie ouwe vrolijke Frans. En daarna: nog eentje dan. Proost.

STAMCAFÉ ZUIPDATE: we nemen er ook een op NEC!!!

Total champ, toen nog

Colombiaanse koffie-export flink gehinderd door aardbeving

BOGOTÁ (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - De Colombiaanse koffie-export ligt grotendeels stil na de aardbeving van maandag. Dat stelt de voorzitter van een Colombiaanse organisatie van koffie-exporteurs. De beving in het westen van het land heeft de werkzaamheden in een belangrijke haven verstoord en voor wegversperringen op cruciale snelwegen gezorgd.

Buenaventura, de belangrijkste exporthaven van Colombia voor koffie, is nagenoeg onbereikbaar door wegversperringen, zegt Gustavo Gomez, hoofd van organisatie Asoexport. Andere havens in Colombia hebben geen grote problemen gemeld, maar het omleiden van koffie naar het noorden wordt bemoeilijkt door een tekort aan vrachtwagens.

Colombia is een van de grootste koffieproducerende landen ter wereld. Hoewel koffie wordt verbouwd in een groot deel van het land, concentreert de oogst zich op het moment in de zuidelijke regio's. Een groot deel van die koffie zou normaal gesproken via Buenaventura worden geëxporteerd.

Stuffed Animals and Found Objects Reconfigure in Sungho Bae’s Uncanny Sculptures

Stuffed Animals and Found Objects Reconfigure in Sungho Bae’s Uncanny Sculptures

Like many kids, I struggled with bedtime. I was a naturally anxious child with a vast imagination and siblings who loved to watch scary movies, leaving me capable of generating an endless array of terrifying things that could happen once the lights went out. To remedy this problem, my mother designated a particular stuffed bear as my guardian, and before retreating to her own room, she would grab its squishy body and infuse it with her protective “power” should I need some comfort and safety during the night. For a time at least, this plush toy was enough to get me to sleep.

For Seoul-born, Chicago-based artist Sungho Bae, the meaning and emotion we ascribe to our childhood possessions gets flipped inside out. Bae gathers once-beloved toys from shops and disposal sites, which he then deconstructs and reconfigures atop a figurative armature. What emerges are uncanny sculptures and reliefs made of a vibrant, fleshy patchwork that resembles organs, tissue, muscle, and more.

Detail of “Head of an Invoker”

In his exhibition Apotropaia, Bae presents a suite of new works likened to charms, amulets, and other magical forms that ward off evil. The title references the ancient Greek belief in mystical powers and nods to the ways in which humankind has long found meaning in objects, rituals, and materials. Why were these presumably cherished toys discarded? And how might their former significance be reshaped?

One of the less abstract and fantastical works is “Dansu,” a head and cross-cut neck with taxidermy eyes and feathers standing in for hair. The piece references a state in the Korean game of Go in which there’s only one move left before capture. Presented atop a weathered game board, the figure embodies the tension between natural and artificial and spirit and death, as he stares with vacant glass eyes originally designed to replicate life in a mounted animal.

Additional wall works, each titled “Gut,” are more amorphous. With wispy hair encircling an edge and bits of clay embedding into the mishmash of color and texture, the strange pieces revel in their ambiguity, inviting the viewer in for a closer look.

Apotropaia is on view through September 6 at 4th Ward Project Space. Keep up with Bae on Instagram.

Matthias Jaissle urges fans to ‘keep the optimism’ through ‘transition phase’ | Louise Taylor

The former Al-Ahli head coach, chosen by the club’s Saudi owners to replace Eddie Howe, admits ‘vacuum’ after sale of three key players

Matthias Jaissle has been described as “fire” and a “rock star”, but his formal “unveiling” as Newcastle’s manager revealed a rather more considered and conservative character than advertised.

At the precise moment the clock struck 3pm on Tuesday the 38-year-old German walked into a packed media suite at St James’ Park. Before taking his seat on the stage Jaissle, wearing a smartly understated open necked suit complete with a silk pocket square, took a deep breath and jumped down into audience, making a point of shaking everyone’s hand. It was a courteous and classy gesture.

England Set To Eliminate Hepatitis C

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: England is on track to become one of the first countries in the world to eliminate hepatitis C, a dangerous virus that attacks the liver, figures show. The target of treating 80% of all known cases has already been met, and deaths from the virus have fallen by 36% in the last decade, just short of what is needed by 2030. Taking antiviral tablets for 8 to 12 weeks can cure more than 95% of cases. Initiatives including A&E blood tests, GP registration testing and free at-home tests have helped to find people who were previously undiagnosed, says NHS England.

NHS England says that since 2015, more than 100,000 people have been diagnosed and treated for hepatitis C, meaning the country is already meeting that target. Another goal -- a 65% reduction in hepatitis C-related mortality compared with 2015 levels -- has yet to be met, but might be before the 2030 target date. Around 50,200 adults are living with hepatitis C, figures for England in 2024 suggest. Estimates indicate 84.6% of those living with hepatitis C have been diagnosed -- just short of the 90% target. The Hepatitis C Trust says England is "on the cusp" of one of the most significant public health achievements in our country's history.

France Bans Unsolicited Telemarking Calls

Starting today, unsolicited telemarking calls are banned in France unless consumers explicitly consent to them. Companies that violate the law can face fines of up to 375,000 euros per call, though existing customers can still be contacted with related offers. Le Monde reports: The government says the law is a response to years of consumer complaints. Authorities estimate that about three-quarters of people in France receive at least one unsolicited sales call every week, and many receive more. In 2024, 11 consumer organizations issued a joint call for a ban, denouncing "relentless harassment of consumers through countless unwanted telemarketing calls to both landlines and mobile phones -- an intrusion that has become a regular part of their daily lives."

Now, "businesses are prohibited from contacting consumers without their prior consent," said Alice Vilcot, chief of staff at the Directorate-General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Prevention of Fraud. "That consent can be withdrawn at any time." [...] Previously in France, people who wanted to avoid marketing calls had to register their number with a government-run service, but consumer groups said some call centers ignored the list. Vilcot noted that an Ireland-based company was fined 6 million euros ($6.9 million) last year for violating France's previous telemarketing rules by calling people on the no-call list.

Buitenslaper Silva is na vier jaar terug in Kaapverdië: 'Ik ben nog Feyenoord-fan'

Vier jaar geleden sliep hij nog met dikke lagen kleding aan in de kou op straat, op plekken waar hij vaak werd weggestuurd, maar nu is hij weer thuis. De ongedocumenteerde Silva kon met hulp van de Rotterdamse Pauluskerk en andere organisaties terugkeren naar zijn geboorteland Kaapverdië, waar hij is herenigd met zijn familie.
