Renaissance Robot posted:Bung it in the toaster, take it out, on with butter and cheese, under the grill for all of a minute This is the correct way to make cheese on toast. Both sides of the bread need to be toasted before the cheese happens. I'm not sure about the buttering of the toast, but its not such a huge issue that needs to split the consensus of both sides toasted. Edited for history snipe- 1917- despite the ww1 history fest going on about the our brave boys being slaughtered by the thousands in the trenches for king and country, things like this happened http://libcom.org/history/1917-the-etaples-mutiny General China fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Here's something that's awesome in a toaster - potato waffles. Take 5 minutes rather than 20. Just turn the timer on full-whack.

And Maria Miller has gone Kind of saddens me, as it was fun seeing everybody struggling to defend her, but then again, gently caress her. Here's her letter. quote:Dear Prime Minister, I enjoy how she thanks her family for letting her become an MP and not her consituents. I hope they continually tell her to piss off in future. Edit: gently caress, I forgot about the PMQs. I was really excited for them, now I have to listen to 'I showed strong leadership by standing by my cabinet and then letting them go, WEAK MILLIBAND WEAK'.

Remind me never to read Telegraph comments again. What is important about this story, is that it was probably an asylum seeker who did it and should therefore be robbed and murdered.

Maria Miller is despicable filth who showed the lowest most absolute lack of morals and decency by not only stealing with both hands in a very well paid public position but also mendaciously grasping victim status while trying to slime her way out of the mildest consequences for her considerable crimes. See, no need to use the c word while going on a cathartic rant.

Setting a precedent where a Tory Front Bencher has to resign due to massive amounts of obvious corruption can't be good for the Tories. Or Labour, for that matter.

An odd thing is that whenever Tories are in trouble they try to connect it to homophobia. David Laws stole tens of thousands of pounds due to 'being gay', in spite of pretty much every other gay person who faced prejudice getting by without doing so. Cameron deflected suspicions of Lord MacAlpine being a pedo by saying he didn't want a gay witch hunt and on Sunday IDS tried to claim the main reason people wanted Miller to go was her vote on gay marriage. Oh! Liam Fox tried to stay on after allowing private companies to influence MoD policy because of rumours he might be gay. It is such an odd move each time, has it ever been even slightly effective? Trickjaw posted:Unless you are IDS who seems teflon coated. Osborne obviously wants him gone but my guess would be Cameron is keeping him around to fall on the sword when some final catastrophe befalls the welfare state.

IDS is a darling of the dry Tories, and having him in the cabinet - particularly in a place where he can do maximum harm to the welfare state - is one of the things keeping Cameron from being consumed by his own party. He's loving bulletproof for the foreseeable future. (c.f. Gove and to a lesser extent Hague)

Yeah, Gideon has moaned about IDS being thick. Really, the best thing you can say about the Conservatives is that they are so devious and self-serving they will always pick at the fabric of the party and wilfully throw anyone of their colleagues under the bus if it serves their purpose.

I dunno, I do imagine that a fair bit of the backlash from within her own party towards her is founded on that existing resentment. Tebbit was the leading voice calling for her to be sacked.

I know the Scottish Parliament isn't anything like that and I don't think the NI or Welsh Assemblies are either. You're doing yourself an injustice. PMQs is a show put on for the public and has all the theatrics associated with it. Its entire premise is to hold the PM to account, and considering that he generally gets a good battering in there, I'd say it's doing a good job of it. I actually enjoy watching it, once you accept it for what it is- basically just weekly mudslinging at the PM, and a platform for MPs to publicly show their constituents that yes, they are part of the political process and they do represent them (" would the pm commend the efforts of my constituent(s) who......"). I'd love to actually get in the public gallery to see it one of these days. Nothing substantial gets done in there, it's literally a half hour window given to the public to see the PM get a good reaming. If you watch any commons (or dareisay, lords) debates, then you'd be surprised at the level of debate and respect in there, it's worlds apart from PMQs.

Apparently Nadine Dorries has weighed in saying that this Miller business shows that MP expenses should be abolished and the right for MP recall implemented IMMEDIATELY. Which is pretty loving ironic given that: 1) She hosed off on Im A Celebrity instead of doing her job as an MP. 2) She has employed at least two of her daughters to do work for her at salaries "up to" £40k a year - including when one of said daughters was at university/living 100 miles away. 3) Didnt register the amount of money she was making through media appearances with the HoC register of interests as she was using a shell company to hide it, about £130k in autumn last year. 4) Has been in the news for funnelling about £50k to one of her closest friends' advertising firm. She is pretty high up on my list of people for the wall when the revolution comes.

Fingerless Gloves posted:And Maria Miller has gone David Cameron said he hoped Mrs Miller would return to the cabinet "in due course". (Sorce) So basically as soon as people forget. Miller says: "I hoped that I could stay" I bet she did - a job where she could take £45k with without having to be fired (still an MP), only paying back a fraction of the amount she took and doesnt even have to talk to the cops never mind face prosecution like the rest of us. I like the fact that further down the BBC article I linked Cameron accuses Milliband of :"playing politics" ....So yeah he is the opposition leader isnt that what he is supposed to do? (rhetorical question ofc). He maybe be a pretty rubbish opposition leader but not even he could have let his one slide even if he wanted to. jynxed fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Apr 9, 2014 |
