It is incredible to me that the first example is coronation chicken. Angela Smith levels of racism.

Coronation chicken is nice tbf, despite being a semi-offensive parody of anything produced on the Indian subcontinent.

It's almost certainly the contents; if you're old, fairly rich, and living in a rural area, it's quite probable you have a(t least one) big-rear end freezer that's brim full of frozen meat, which is easily goign to total 500 quid.

The fridge and freezer themselves would probably be thousands. Being rich and rural is wild.

OwlFancier stays true to his heritage and eats only boiled chicken sandwiches. And I don't mean sandwiches with boiled chicken in it. I mean he puts raw chicken between two slices of bread and then boils it.

Excuse you my heritage chicken is imported from malaysia in 15 kilo boxes and defrosts to the approximate texture and taste of salty rubber, and is eaten in a stale bun with a half arsed dab of margerine on one side. Coincidentally the entire sandwich is halal certified.

I mean I don't really like any sort of curry, other than maybe occasionally thai curry, but curry powder definitely doesn't appeal.

To be honest I'd rather have just sweet chilli than curry. It's like a strictly better tomato.

Always submit two check reads a year separated by six months, whether you're on a smart meter or not. Anything can happen from loss of comms to the reader misaligning - that's especially common on gas meters where the AMR counts the ticks and can either miss them or have an external source generate false positives.

It takes about half an hour to properly fall apart in room temperature water when the bread is stale, because that's step one of making bread pudding.

Modelling this as a kinetic problem and using the rule of thumb that the rate of reaction doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature above room temperature (IUPAC SATP), and assuming the water is at ~95°C rather than actually boiling, that's 70°C change and so 7 doublings, 27 is 128, so 128x faster than 30 minutes, or ~15s, so you could have tested this 32 times in the time you spent thinking about this.

I choose to believe that you know exactly what they do and that's why you weren't surprised they weren't sending readings and they were in fact slowly cataloguing the giant stack of razzles that I assume GDT keeps under the stairs.

E: The pinknews article has some amazing quotes btw:


quote:

Blair didn’t offer any suggestions for how candidates can establish a clear position on trans rights without becoming trapped in a “cul-de-sac of identity politics”, but put forward his opinion on what not to do.

quote:

Blair added that Long-Bailey, Nandy or Starmer would all be a “significant improvement” on Corbyn, but declined to endorse any of them as he said his support would only damage their chances.

One time I got a bill from Thames Water for multiple hundreds of pounds for a single month of water.

It took a long time on the phone to fix it, they kept insisting I'm running a business out of my semi-detached studio/converted garage.
