So the bread does not burn even though it was in the oven for 20 odd minutes? Ok! I will try it tonight with a piece of frozen bread :) Will give it a go!

I think if it constantly has oil dripping on it it shouldn't, if you're worried about it catching you could butter it first.

Yup, it can get a bit 'hard toast' around the corners, but it'll not blacken or even really brown.

Right, I've been searching for ages but to no avail so now I consult this thread, font of all knowledge that it is.

I have some podcasts on my android phone (by which I mean mp3 files) and I need an audio player that has a "skip 15 seconds back" feature. Music players tend not to have this, and all the podcast players can't seem to play a locally downloaded mp3 (unless I downloaded via their podcast database, which is no good)

Anyone happen to know of an app that can help me?

I use the appropriately named Podcast Republican, since it works with Android Auto and works well while driving.

Someone mentioned in the previous thread about cooking chicken kievs with a bit of bread beneath it to make garlic bread.

I just wanted to ask do you put the bread in at the same time as the kiev? If I have frozen bread should I thaw it first?

The whole thing sounds delicious but I want to get it right.

Isn't that just garlic flavoured fat just dripping onto the bread?
Why not just swipe the tray with the bread slice after.

use a bap and make a kiev butty

The first lockdown started on the 23rd of March when we had just shy of 1000 cases a day. We're now at 3400 cases a day.

The measures eased on the 4th of July(ish) - along with fewer cases but also a higher temperature, so people were out more. We'll return to similar temperatures in mid-October, but with the schools and pubs and everything back open, I imagine we'll be hitting some high number soon. There's only been 380,000 confirmed cases (0.5% of the population) - though there must have been many more cases unreported there's still quite a big jump up to a tenth or half of the population getting it.

The deaths have been a lot lower, so far, and I've read stuff that the people most likely to have died will have died by now - but this is an assumption with big consequences if wrong.

Also reduces the amount of washing up you have to do (or foil you use), there's normally very little oil on the tray itself with bread.

Clive Martin was one of the few genuinely funny people working for Vice, and the place caused him to have a very public (and kinda funny given it was about Sopranos) breakdown on Twitter.

He's still a bit too edgy for his own good sometimes, but always a good addition when he pops up on podcasts etc. Usually to rinse posh media dickheads and talk about regretting running away to somewhere like Middlesbrough during a "I hate London" moment.

mask use has actually skyrocketed in the past few weeks on public transportation in my observation. not only did everyone wear them, everyone wore them properly and on one occasion everyone staring at someone who had a peeking nose caused her to address it.

the public are doing their best. the schools make infection utterly inevitable.

My experience over the last couple of weeks is that probably 50% of people are actually bothering to wear a mask properly on public transport.
I'd say around 25% don't wear a mask at all and 25% have it covering their mouth but not their nose.

Friend used to work in Liverpool city center.
Used to, he quit two months ago due to how the company, accountants of about 20 people, wouldn't do anything to protect for covid.
Not even masks or hand sanitizers.
He lives with his two parents, in their 70s. So high probability targets.
He travels on train for an hour, so loads of possible random contacts.
He stopped going to work once the original lockdown was announced, the company never shut down the ENTIRE time.
Company wouldn't allow him to work from home, even though he could set it up within hours.
So he stayed at home, and they threatened him with the sack.
He threatened to sue and got a pay off that he was looking for from it.

Must ask if they are shutting down this time or not.

Ah, excellent. A celebrity I have already told to gently caress off in person.

I had no idea who he was. He was just an arrogant rear end in a top hat in a bar I was helping my mate to clean up at the end of the night.
It was only the next day my mate had a thought, and a bit of checking made us realise who had been playing in the Aber uni art center that night.....

Not public transport specific (we don't have any in rural Wales), but indoor mask use is pretty much universal since it became compulsory at the beginning of this week. I did meet my first anti-masker today, when someone came in loudly declaring he was exempt from wearing one. I know it was bullshit because he proudly confessed his master plan to download a badge and dare anybody to take issue with it to me last week. Unfortunately I wasn't able to tell him that "wearing a mask gets my libertarian panties in a twist" is not a medically recognised reason for an exemption, as I'm waiting for him to hand over a cheque for 20 grand.

Never understood why people like that guy. His voice is deeply tedious and he is underhand.

There was a venue called Town & Country Club in Kentish Town and they were bought out by Mean Fiddler who renamed it Forum.

Anyway, in a grave, dramatic voice, the owner of the T&C announced that they'd managed to get Van Morrison for their last ever gig as in 'what an honour, he's showing how much he respects our venue' kind of a way. So that was 21st March 1993.

So it closed. Then the Forum opened up (maybe even the next night) and guess who was their first headline act? Yes, Van Morrison.
