The big question is what else is going on the cupboard? The TV is surely just the start of the project? You don’t seem like the sort of man that is going to waste all that storage space just for a TV! Am I going to regret asking this question? Probably 🤣

Nowt wrong with them, they look lovely 😃

Thank fuck that someone is talking sense. I was only musing yesterday with “what must they be thinking at The Pentagon?” Considering Trump is hell bent on making the US a Banana Republic, a military coup would be more than in order. As an outsider from the UK, enough is enough!

Smeksy! Four weeks in and I’m still getting used to new eyes, and remembering to wear them! 😂🤓

Absolutely. I was saying this to my friends last week. With this week’s latest actions Trump has not only betrayed its European allies, but America itself. Trump is a traitor to democracy and the free world. Forget Brexit now. The UK is part of Europe and should stand firm with Europe. It’s over!
comment in response to post
Probably not reporting on international stuff as it’s outside the remit of “America First”. It would only confuse the MAGA faithful with Trump’s role as puppet to both Musk and Putin!
comment in response to post
I imagine a large proportion of the MAGA faithful must be confused to. For years they’ve proclaimed the Democrats as the socialist left, but it appears that their beloved Trump is in fact the communist sympathiser #putinspuppet

Europe has been rattled by the rise of right wing factions threatening. JD Vance has just united the UK & Europe. Lines have been drawn over Ukraine. Trump will sell out for some prime real estate. The UK & Europe will now stand up as the only democracy against the aggressor and support Ukraine.
comment in response to post
It’s hilarious that the MAGA faithful and GOP spout that the Democrats are the socialists. Step forward, communist sympathiser, Comrade Trump ready to sell Ukraine & Europe for a bit of real estate on the Crimean Peninsula. Europe is now going to rally together as the last bastion of Democracy!
comment in response to post
Absolutely. What the last few days have taught us is that with all the issues around right wing extremism and immigration threatening to tear Europe apart, the UK and EU have a historic opportunity to step out of the US shadow and unite in support, help rebuild Ukraine and keep the peace for all!
comment in response to post
Now is the time for a united Europe. The UK has to accept that our special relationship is over with the US and we now have to look to, and lead as well as support our continental neighbours and allies into a new era. There’ll be dire consequences but Europe must stand firm and look to new allies

Well, as the moon is made of cheese, probably to make a very, very large charcuterie & cheese board 😁

Is there going to be a live feed?

Yeah, I can understand why. He will come back to haunt you in another life!

It’s really hard to get your head around, dating is not like it used to be and if there’s no spark, then there’s no 2nd date. The one thing I’ve learned is it’s better to meet up sooner rather than later. My first few dates were car crashes, more like interviews than dates 😬

The traditional shepherds pie and cottage pie have normal mash, Cumberland pie has a cheesy breadcrumb topping. But admittedly, cheese has found its way either into or onto the mash. I love my cheese, but it has its place and doesn’t have to be served in every meal 🤣🤣
comment in response to post
But the cheese sauce should have thickened enough in the baking process that it just sticks to the cauliflower. And another thing, kids these days treat cheese like a condiment and put it on fucking everything!! Fuck I sound like a grumpy old man 👨🏼‍🦳 😂
comment in response to post
Had this discussion with my daughter earlier about cheese and gravy on the same plate. It shouldn’t happen, except perhaps if you’ve made cauliflower cheese to go with the Sunday roast. 1/2

I’m no expert but I believe it’s an urban cockney rhyming slang term used by millennials ie. you lit = you fit It’s obviously a young crush with grammatical flaws and clearly hasn’t been following you that long otherwise he’d at least put the effort to type “you’re lit” 😁

Having been on Tinder, Bumble and Hinge at different points over the past year, and obvs speaking from the other side of the platforms, I’d say 50-60% are borderline nutcases. Normal and well-adjusted are the proverbial needle in a haystack! 🤪

Should be a cinch, you cam cook food in a water bath sous vide style 😁. Although be careful not to cook yourself at the same time 🤣

And at least the candle wax didn’t spill onto your feet and burn them!

Where are Skunk Anansie playing down south? Only recently reintroduced as I embrace Radio 6 Music!!

They just need “taking in” on the lower leg, a bit more fabric to the thigh area and then they’re on to a “hammer time” winner!

It’s a no brainer if done right. And if you don’t already do it, I highly recommend adding in maybe 50g-100g of dark chocolate (80-90% cocoa). With the 1-2 glasses of red wine (depending on batch size). Just adds to the richness and depth in flavour 😋

Don’t forget the influx of back, sack and crack bookings too! 😳😂

I’ve thought about it long and hard and it simply has to be bacon. The sausage is too versatile and comes in all sorts of flavours. Not to mention: Sausage sarnie Toad in the hole Bangers and mash Sausage plait Hot dog Sausage roll Scotch egg Cocktail sausage on a stick Feel free to add!

Bet it’s finished already. Home made bread is all well and good, but it doesn’t last!!

If it’s any consolation, scooping up steaming hot dog vomit is worse. The quantity is 3-4 times as much (well it is for a large Golden Retriever) so is never dealt with just the one scoop! Plus they then want to go outside to eat grass and vomit some more!! 😳🤢

Has this been independently verified? I’m still sceptical! 😬

WTF is wrong with some people? It clearly clashed with his bath night 😂. Another bullet dodged and you still have a week to find a decent match that will jump at the chance for a Saturday night date!! 🤞🏻

As an outsider looking in, I followed AOC when she first got elected to Congress. We don’t hear about other Dems, because they’re not making waves!! Maybe once they finish looking their wounds, they will see their future, and it’s AOC. She actually fights for the people, not corporate sponsors!

What about your drinks wall? Tilt a bottle of Ouzo and a section of shelved wall opens up. Is there a room behind there?

Well that’s your weekend project sorted. You know you want to!

Savage weather. Hopefully Burns Night celebrations aren’t gonna get cancelled like Hogmanay? 🤞🏻

In fairness to Elon, the ketamine was probably, no definitely peaking by that stage!
