Seabag

I listened to R4 today, and Ian Duncan Smith was on there. Did he say "52,000 separate pieces of legislation to go through" in 2 years? He said something to the effect of "If we don't get distracted and we're disciplined, we can do it" Now in my very simple maths, that's 500 laws a week to transpose, before the deadline. And there's the minor point of a country to run. *plays Chariots of Fire sound track*

I haven't got one, but I'd love to have one. Does that help?

Whatever is going wrong doesn't matter, as long as 'those people' he's angry towards aren't getting what they want.

Kinda funny but depressing too Ha ha, look I'm laughing really I am *takes up drinking again*

There's a certain amount of hurt being dished out in this rightard renaming scam, like it's a tonic that's meant to be good for you. And all the while as we loose the joy in life, PMTM is draping her saggy carcass and 'gray hay' bobbed hair over the cover of Vogue. It's fuc1 That said, I've always thought Mayonnaise was due for a fight, so if pushed I'd be ok with straight down Salad Cream. Lastly, cigarette is due to go. I'm voting for 'Smoking Cylinders'

I can't wait to watch it now, but I used to read the National Enquirer as my guilty pleasure I stopped years ago, much like all the other bad stuff. But Gordon could be my new crossover gateway drug. Do you sniff or smoke him?

This forgiveness thing confuses me. At what point do you go "actually, I was right, you really are a cutn". How many goes at forgiving the past do we give? I'm all for seeing people evolve, but sometimes they do carry on going the wrong direction. Hence, the past stays in the past, along with the immediate and distant future, for some people.

Bbq's, Pizza ovens and burning a wood fire outdoors isn't illegal under the clean air act. However, wood and organic matter is usually ok, whereas plastic, bituminous coal (house coal) and such material isn't. But if you're burning wet leaves in a confined area, on a regular basis, then it can be classed as a nuisance and a smoke abatement order sought. Different laws at work here, in that ones environmental, the other antisocial I believe. That's the jist of it, but the devil's in the details.

I went today, did you? It was very nice, in a kind of real ale festival kinda way. And there was dancing and placards.

So we are to leave the EU, but there after, what did people actually vote for. And once the shine of sticking it to the EU is gone, then what. A country where roughly half the people got some of what they think they voted for, in leaving the EU, box ticked. But the rest of it, the bit where the vote emboldened the government to take advantages you'd not actually consented too, in a political landscape that meant there wasn't a party left in any state to oppose the government, one that takes it as their right to do, and are doing as they wish. And that wish to keep thier own party in power and together at any cost, including the cost to our country, shocks me to the core. Along with that, the other half of the population who didn't vote for any part of this, now watching the country they too love, take a direction they'd never dreamt it would lurch to. What does that combination of wants leave us left with. Not unity I imagine, and add to that Scottish, Irish and other division and separations that may come. I'm not a pessimist in general, I'm not a gambler either. However, this high stakes cocking around unnerves me. It unnerves me that the unchallenged 'will of the people' schtick is the biggest misuse of power, where the real will of the many is ignored and derided. Good luck to you, and me and us. Tho I feel we'll be needing more than luck to see us through. We'll need trust,engagement and selflessness, and all that's in short supply from what I can see. So yes, lets march. Where to tho?

Why do these 'recommendations' seem so wooden Mostly written in that 'grinning' style, much like a cheesy radio ad Yuk, it's put me right off that company she's mentioned 3 times.

Seriously P-RYU Have you had a lobotomy ?

I think I had a thread about the 'names' of food in this 'new stupid phobic Brexit era' were in. Sainsbury's Potato Gratin is now (rather boringly) potato with cheese sauce. It's the 'Gratin' bit that might offend, so the twatty spineless marketing bods saw fit to making it less European. And it looks as if a French restaurant of the manor of E.D is being pilloried for using French words to describe their French dish. Escargot is too offensive and might encourage sales based on the potential to eat a dish with some history. But no, people are driven to near insist that it's to be called 'snails in garlic butter' just so we don't upset the order of the pin headed people that think we're being led astray. YOU ARE FUCKTARDS OF SOME ORDER. GET A BLOODY GRIP. Thank you.

I love, and ate them many times when I was working in Crete. Cleaned and boiled and popped through the back of the shell, then 'kissed' out or with a hooked pin. A little vegetable and potato stewed with wild greens and olive oil. And the country wine, never forget that. https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/snails-have-long-been-the-lobsters-of-cretan-cuisine
