The true worth of tea is that it is never not acceptable to offer someone a cup of tea, and hence a marvellous way of extricating yourself out of situations when the conversation has turned awkward or deeply personal and you're the host and need to move things on. My wife doesn't let me have sugar in my tea. As a northerner tea is now not as enticing. E: Apollo 11 lands on the moon. Humanity begins its first steps at setting up a proper Disaster Recovery site.

Then strain through a paper filter over the chemex or other pour over. I cut my cold brew concentrate with whole milk because it is amazing.

As a recently minted member of the Labour Party I just had my first contact with Momentum- got a call from a nice middle class sounding lad who seemed to be rather confused- he said something about how he was calling numbers off a list on the website, and asked me if I was registered for the leadership election and interested in volunteering for Corbyn. Ended the call with 'keep the flame alight' which I thought was rather sweet. I was a bit surprised though- the call came from a personal mobile number, and as I said, he seemed very unsure and disorganised- for the longer term members of the party in the thread, is this something I can expect regularly? The whole thing was rather charming tbh.

You'll find most phone canvassing comes from activists' personal phones, although in the run-up to major elections parties will buy a poo poo ton of burners for the purpose of getting a few hundred people canvassing at HQ.

Bristol Momentum has organised phone canvassing all through the week so I imagine other areas have as well. They provide the numbers, the volunteer brings the phone most of the time.

I got this as part of an email from Momentum a few days back:quote:Jeremy Call-In: Sign up to use the web-based phone canvassing app to call people who were registered supporters last year to encourage them to re-register. We have 40,000 people to call. If 4,000 of us call 10 people each, we’ll easily reach our target. You can canvass from the comfort of your own home. All you need is an internet connection and a phone. So yeah, it's some random member of Momentum calling people from a list. It's a nice idea I guess, if you're the sort of person who's OK phoning random strangers.

I can't help but feel that the £25 for three days plan may have actually been good for Corbyn. For £3 for the next month or so the PLP could have convinced a ton of people to sign up to "Save Labour" with their new fresh faced guy but instead it was a £25 quid buy in to support a candidate that had only just begun a campaign and most people still don't know anything about. It's a pricetag only the dedicated would pay and there ain't a lot of passion in the center.

There could be upsides to this leadership contest. Looks like Corbyn is planning to come out swinging on the policies front:Guardian posted:Corbyn is expected to say he wants to update social reformer William Beveridge’s “five evils”, for the 21st century – and plans to announce policies over the next five months to tackle each of them, with the first being “discrimination”. Seems pretty good. Quite like the idea of an updated 'five great evils' following in the footsteps of the founding of the welfare state.

I paid my £25 but all the candidates seem to be somewhat no-names, is there a good rundown on each of them somewhere? This Corbyn guy seems alright, good stance on marrows and beans but not sure of his ideas on the Falklands.

While I do like my tea, you Brits need to realize that hot chocolate is best hot drink. Sitting outside in the snow, sipping some hot chocolate and warming your hands, thats the best. No tea or coffee experience compares. Actually do you guys even have hot chocolate? I wouldnt put it past you not to...

God bless those pharmaceutical companies that privately fund all their own research and don't rely heavily on prior work or research from publicly funded academia, and heavily promote generic versions of their drugs to be locally produced in the developing world. Bravo to them I say, each and every one of them.

I was okay on hot chocolate until i had a real thick hot chocolate that wasn't just milk with some powder in and since then I've always found regular hot chocolate vaguely disappointing if it's below a certain level of viscosity I still drink it though because a) i don't get on with coffee or tea and you've got to drink something if you want to look like a normal and b)it's got chocolate in so
