this is the problem, there's utterly no evidence that Harriet Harman or Yvette Cooper or Ken Clarke or John Major or Humphrey the Cat or etc etc etc actually could get a majority any easier than Corbyn besides the mewlings of centrist talking heads or wet Tories

So, I totally agree that Corbyn should have the first go at forming a government of national unity with the sole remit of extending the A50 deadline and calling a GE. But am I the only one who thinks it’s so clearly the only good idea to take us off the collision course with No Deal that I don’t care if another caretaker PM does it instead? Harriet Herman really doesn’t strike me as a bad option to literally do two things in a time-limited window if that’s what it takes. Corbyn remains leader of the party and leads the GE campaigning, so I really don’t know what is lost if he can’t execute on his plan but someone else can.

I agree, both should be tried. But I think the non Corbyn option is even less likely.
After all it requires parliament to undertake two positive actions: choose a person then vote for it.
Whereas the Corbyn option only requires a single positive action to occur and so is merely extremely unlikely rather than blatantly impossible.

My bet is that we VONC bojo narrowly then won't vote on anything else successfully so we just hung parliament until NDB or extension.

Really just out of Sunday boredom here that I ask this question. So, centrists/melts as we identify them now - the people who get on our tits by being sufficiently privileged to be able to refuse to recognise the inevitable necessity of ideology in politics and who in most cases are so terminally sheltered and cosseted in their lives that they demand others accept this.
there's an old socialist newspaper vendor out there asking the same thing about faux-leftie centrists like you. what stops you from taking more extreme, ideologically pure positions that'd impress $insert_maoist_here

Open them from the bottom so the can acts as a tunnel (in one end and out the other) rather than just a storage vessel. Same for crisp packets. Assuming, of course, that they're filled from the top.

Veggie burgers can be incredible and I've honestly gained a preference for a nice black bean burger over the majority of meat ones. A couple different (meat-eating) mates have advised me that the Vegan Junk Food Bar in Amsterdam has the best burger in existence bar none, so if you're getting into plant-based alternatives maybe give it a look next time you find yourself in the capital.

e: Sorry, I mean the other capital

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.

I'm a bit hampered in my quest for non-meat/healthy eating by not being able to do onion or garlic (apart from garlic & chili oil, which I believe doesn't have the compound that makes people's guts react). But it's fun to experiment with ways around it.

Do more peanut stuff. Peanut butter fried rice and stuff like that is delicious and usually pretty easy to make without onions or garlic! Also more Asian dishes like Pad Thai don't rely too heavily on that stuff and could work for you.

Someone's gonna have to explain ALL the highly detailed storylines and characters in Japanese pro wrestling to me :colbert:

So there’s this guy called Okada. He spent years acting like he was the poo poo, and he had a guy to tell people he was the poo poo, and then it turned out he WAS the poo poo, and so he didn’t need that guy anymore. That guy then took up with a young friend of Okada and they STABBED HIM IN THE BACK. But Okada being Okada, he was soon the poo poo again, and now everybody - including the young punk - is chasing him because he’s the poo poo. The next challenger is a acrobatic yet simple fella who is a gay.

Some hindu sects (including hare krishnas) are both vegetarian and do not eat onion or garlic (I think they increase ignorance or something in ayurvedic medicine) so there are many recipes you can get from that source if you like indian food.

This is a fantastic indian vegetarian cookbook without onion or garlic if you can find it cheap.

Quick poll of people who do not like marmite: how many of you mixed it with butter, because you are not supposed to eat it straight.

If you mix it with butter it tastes good. Like Twiglets good.
