I had a fun remote interaction with an Ulsterman with the most stereotypical Norn Protestant name who ordered something from where I worked once. Shipping was free within the UK, except for the Highlands, Islands, and Northern Ireland.

Apparently this was an insult, because Ulster is an integral part of the United Kingdom and will not be treated as foreign and the BT in the postcode means British Territory.

All over £5 extra P&P, which was down to our courier anyway.


To be fair, every loving courier company who charges extra to deliver to the Highlands as if the A9 is a dust track rather than a major trunk road can get to gently caress. Fair enough for the islands but Inverness is not actually that far north of Perth. 2 and a half hours max. Another hour from Glasgow. Blah.

Traffic jams built up on Tuesday around the French port of Calais as customs officers worked to rule, carrying out tighter checks on lorries heading for the Channel Tunnel and the ferry port.

The action, which began on Monday, is aimed at improving pay and staff numbers ahead of the UK's expected departure from the EU on 29 March.

Dunkirk, further up the French coast, is also affected.

"Brexit is a catalyst for deeper anger," said one union official.

How bad is the congestion?

The A16 motorway near Calais became snarled up early on Tuesday. The biggest queues were close to the ferry port as well as the Channel Tunnel exit, and freight companies warned of long waits at border checkpoints.

For a second day, tailbacks of lorries stretched for several kilometres but ordinary traffic was still able to move.
Drone footage from one TV reporter showed the extent of the queues near the Channel Tunnel.

Drivers hooted in frustration and Calais officials set up holding areas to deal with the weight of traffic.

The local prefect banned until Wednesday lorries weighing more than 7.5 tonnes from taking the westbound motorway route from near Dunkirk to the tunnel.

Waiting times at Dunkirk port were more than two hours and every lorry was still being checked, ferry operator DFDS operator said.

While 100% border checks had stopped at Calais, it said waiting time there was "extensive", with traffic being diverted through the town.

As lorries came to a standstill there were reports that migrants had tried to board the vehicles to get across the Channel.

I'm greatly relieved to learn there's no relation between health and getting up early.

I mean, the only problem with pyramid schemes is that they're used in a capitalist manner. Pyramid Socialism on the other hand, would allow the exponential expansion of labor towards a common good that none can achieve on their own, allowing us to build a better world, together.

I can't.

However, over here in Canada... Vancouver to be specific, my local Shoppers Drug Mart (think Boots but less good and more expensive) has a weekly version of The [Daily] Express. I cannot bring myself to pick it up, but the headlines make the Daily Mail look like a watered down childrens book which has been carefully censored. At least from memory.

I'm wondering about writing to Shoppers in the hope they'll spare my eyes...

I think there's a level of self selection in who uses comments as basically a forum. Idiot right wingers basically. No one else would try to make a real community out of youtube comments and bbc hys boxes. This is where they live. These are the people too stupid to use reddit.

yeah this is the new line, that self-declared anti-zionism can only mean rejection of the jewish right to self-determination, not opposition to the current state of israel

it's not a bad rhetorical move, but israel is sufficiently monstrous that i doubt this is going to do much - if anything, further pushing the conflation between anti-israelism and antisemitism is going to help take the winds out of the sails of this moment

e.g. the guardian cannot possibly condone the kind of stuff israel gets up to on a regular basis

another interesting thing on that count is that it comes as the nation state is becoming an increasingly dubious term and the whole "x people's right to self determination" is getting problematised more and more along the lines of "who are the people" and "self determination under what borders" &c

I'm noticing that Hodge and the rest of the Blairites are increasingly using the argument that Corbyn supporters are all irredeemable antisemites. While at the same time suggesting they'll get the support of "sensible" labour supporters. Why does this remind me of the thinking of HRC and co in 2016? Really got to wonder if they try another leadership election on Corbyn if this time he wins by 80 percent.

The trick to great food in London without paying through the nose is often to go to areas that specialise and pick up street food etc. but that can be tough to explain to someone who doesn't know it well.

Provided you are not looking to break the bank I would recommend:

http://www.tayyabs.co.uk/ - Indian highlight near Brick lane. Get lamb chops.
http://www.maroush.com - Solid Lebanese
https://meatliquor.com/ - Glorious filth - their steak place Flat Iron is meant to be good but there are queues.
https://meatliquor.com/ - Cheap but very good pizza chain.
http://www.kerbisher.co.uk/ - Expensive for fish and chips but good.
https://chinatown.co.uk/en/restaurant/hungs/ - Epic crispy duck.
https://regencycafe.has.restaurant/ - Legendary greasy spoon (breakfast essentially).

Also go to Borough Market for lunch on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday if you can.

That is all.

Edit: Actually, also worth googling where near you has the best Sunday Roast. Stay away from chain pubs if poss.

I've been to Tayyabs today. The lamb chops where great! The other stuff I ordered was good too. I'd rank it among my top five Indian places. And I had to pay less than for the garbage Indian food I had on Sunday.
This goon knows what they're talking about.
Again, thanks! I'll probably check out some of the other recommendations!

I do kinda wonder how a restaurant where food has some kind of actual taste
manages to survive in this city, though.
