I already bought fudge as a present to someone, but now I've bought more fudge as a present for myself!  Speaking of which, I needed a nice box to put them in and it looked pretty good, so have you considered doing gift boxes?

I would recommend trying to snap them up in bulk come boxing day and then you can do them for next crimbo at least.

I actually did the favours for a wedding the other weekend, and it did look super pretty in fancy boxes! It’s something I’m looking at for next year- obviously fancy packaging will result in a price increase (did the wedding at Mate’s Rates and only just broke even, which was educational), but it’s deffo something I’m going to move towards as an option. And wow, that does look super fancy! I can’t express how proud it makes me seeing my product look so good!

therattle posted:My understanding (limited, admittedly) of the UK-Ireland treaty of (I think) 1957 is that UK and Irish citizens have the right to be treated as if they were citizens of the other country, if residing there*. This includes the right to reside. So if one wants to live in Ireland I don't think anything is stopping one.

If it's omicron then mandatory isolation regardless of vaccination status, but I honestly don't know how up on the NHS is in terms of informing people that they're omicron positive EDIT Necrothatcher posted:Tested negative on lateral flow, going for a PCR this afternoon.

Our vet came round last week and I had a call the day after that she tested positive. I've done a test every day and have been unintentionally isolating (ff14 queue times are low during the day...) - should I be formally isolating? It's hard because every fibre of my being tells me not to listen to these shower of cunts after their actions killed ma dad.

Formally/legally speaking, you don't need to be isolating if you're "fully" vaccinated (2 doses)

I think you have to live there for 5 or 9 years, i've heard both numbers being cited depending on circumstances. I don't know if spending that amount of time here in Northern Ireland would be applicable or not.

I assume there was the other side of that coin for lending but there weren't student loans nor the amount of unsecured consumer debt (and also I was young enough to not notice and so can paint it as a golden era in hindsight like all the ukip cunts do with the age when blackface weren't racist.)

They're going by LFT, but they were about to head to France anyway so have the PCR test to do so should have a result on that soon. I think the chance of a false positive on LFT is pretty low though right?

Food: the paneer turned out very crumbly and almost without flavour (slight hint of cottage cheese) so i need to work on my technique for a more solid product but happy to make something edible. Tastes nice in a bun with salt & black pepper. :-)

Giving it up for Irish would be kind of win/win though. Still retain all the rights of the UK with none of the being-British  Related, one thing I didn't realise at the time when Shamima Begum was in the news: they'd already changed the law so that stripping someone's UK citizenship "didn't count" as making them stateless, so long as they "could" in theory apply for another citizenship. So the people saying "she's Bangladeshi" were wrong, but the UK had changed the rules anyway. Presumably on the basis that other countries are too stupid to put "are you a member of Isis y/n" on their citizenship application forms. Good to know that when my parents did a thing post-Brexit, making me eligible for another nationality by default, that this changed my relationship with the British state without me having to do anything!

Just had someone test positive at my work and we have emergency been sent to wfh. Everyone is convinced Mark Drayford is going to announce stricter restrictions tomorrow to get ahead of the Tories. Looks like it's wfh till Christmas for me 🥳 I was worried about catching it in that plague pit (no masks anymore besides me and the other office girl no hand sanitizer only three of us in the office taking our temp daily ) and missing my nieces first Christmas.

A while back I wondered how many citizenships you could pick up if you dedicated yourself to it, but assuming no convenient grandparents or marriages letting you get on a fast track to naturalisation. As far as I recall, Poland is the EU state with the easiest standard route for naturalisation, requiring only three years permanent residence. Downside is you also have to speak Polish. Other possibilities: if you have a couple €100k spare you can buy a Maltese passport through their citizenship by investment scheme, you could take a Master's degree in France to be eligible for naturalisation after only two years, or in several countries if you provide some exceptional service to the state the monarch/president can grant you citizenship on the spot.

Also I'd assume anyone regularly visiting other people would have the sense to be regularly LFTing.

I wouldn't call it *easy*, but IIRC 3 years of service in the French Foreign Legion, or being invalided out due to enemy action within that 3 years, is sufficient for French citizenship.
