My favourite thing about the national finances as household finances analogy is that many households do have debt that's several times larger than their GDP in the form of a mortgage.

Catching up on the thread today was unpleasant and boring, special mention to Scikar for lamenting about 'targeted harassment' being bad while actively putting the boot in to do that exact thing and Bobby Deluxe for actively lying to the point that it being a potentially honest accident doesn't logically parse, but they are just the shiniest pieces of sweetcorn amongst a broader poo poo.

I'm not going to be bullied away, and apparently you lot aren't going to stop making GBS threads up the thread trying to bully me away, the only options seem to be; 1. 'I make a massive effortpost responding to all the dogshit attacks you've made and we settle it in the marketplace of ideas', which would be the obvious answer except you'd never admit fault and functionally it would just give you more fodder to be tediously angry about, or 2. Actually block me and stop talking about me, at the very worst it would mean parallel discussions and those are far from abnormal in most online spaces and it would mean we could talk about other stuff.

I'm fine with 1 or 2 happening but cannot stress enough that 3. 'you lot bully me into leaving or bully mods into pretending i've broken ToS' is absolutely not happening in the former and seems not to be a goer in the latter, stop making GBS threads up the thread whinging about me.

I still wonder if that powerful punch in the organs I got in early January 2020 was covid because the description of symptoms for a non-hospitalisation case were all there for me and it was the first time in my life I worried I was going to die from an illness.

Obviously the idea that covid was in the UK in Jan 2020 seems rather ridiculous given how bad it was when it actually struck. All I can say is that having had something with similar symptoms I absolutely do not want to get what could potentially be that but deadlier.

Yes, showering negative attention on someone very obviously looking for negative attention is a time-honoured and 100% successful way of getting rid of them and *certainly* not something that causes far more disruption than just ignoring them or banning them outright.

1. It's just the morrisons thing, I think someone made a meme of him pulling a face at PMQs with "when you eat the whole sack of wet eggs" and it seems to have stuck. He's a wet man who eats wet eggs.

2. When the coalition government took power the treasury apparently left a note for the incoming admin saying "sorry there's no money left" as a joke, which promptly got waved around on the news as a deathly serious proof of how labour had bankrupted the country. Also he sold some gold or something shortly before gold went up in value. Basically it's the idea a bunch of morons have that the government can run out fo money and it did because labour spent it all and that's what caused the 2008 crash.

I got harangued by some half senile old guy canvassing in 2019 about how gordon brown spent all the gold and that combined with diane abbot was why he wouldn't vote labour even though he always did.

The gold selling thing was from, like, frigging 1998 too

Does anyone have any other fun cocktail recipes? I'm really enjoying this whole cocktail shaker thing. Though I've got a load of cream based ones like baileys that don't seem to go with anything except coffee and whipped cream.

I like a Painkiller, which is basically a fancied-up Pina Colada.

- 60ml Rum
- 120ml Pineapple juice
- 30ml Cream of Coconut
- 30ml Orange juice

Shake over ice then grate nutmeg on top. Delicious.

Or a Pornstar martini is also good.

- 60ml vanilla vodka
- 30ml Passoa liqueur
- 60ml Passionfruit (or pineapple) juice
- 30ml Passionfruit puree
- 15ml Lime juice
- 15ml vanilla syrup

I've always made pornstar martinis like a traditional sour cocktail in a 3/2/1 spirit/acid/syrup ratio (in this case using vanilla vodka/lime juice/passoa) but also chucking the half of the passion fruit that you're not using as a garnish into the mixer.

The old fashioned recipe upthread forgot sugar: put a sugar cube in a tumbler, saturate it in angostura, muddy it in half a shot of water, then throw in 3 measures of bourbon & stir it around a whole bunch with a big block of ice & an orange rind that you've burnt around the edges with a lighter.

Lot of people talking about whisky sours, my advice on this one is not to forget an egg white. I like a very thin slice of orange as a garnish.

Since the OP was talking about shaking: whisky sours & pornstar martinis are about the only cocktails I'd shake, stir anything that doesn't have fruit pulp or egg in. For citrus-based cocktails I swear by using bottled juice & stirring, then pouring through a tea strainer. Trust me, I'm a professional. (drinker, not mixer, the latter is just a prerequisite)

e: the burnt orange rind thing is a good one btw, also works very well in a negroni (2 shots each of good gin/campari/red vermouth, stirred with the rind & an ice block, everyone raves about my negroni despite the fact that it's literally the easiest thing lol)

e2: oh also shake espresso martinis, obviously, those are fun & easy to make delicious

I can't stand any of the egg white cocktails. I grew up during the salmonella panic so raw eggs basically skeeve me the hell out. Euugh.

There was also a particularly vicious cold and a fairly mild flu circulating around then, which confuses things a lot. It's *possible* that the first hospitalisations and deaths were actually in December, but as they weren't testing for it then it's impossible to say.
