NotJustANumber99 posted:I thought Kier starmer was tall, but hes only 5foot8. I met Keir Starmer when he visited the marginal I was campaigning in back in 2017. Our then-2yo son's name is also Keir so the local candidate wanted a photo of "the two Keirs" for her newsletter. Our son screamed the place down so no newsletter photo ever took place but I spent a lot of time standing next to Starmer. - I'm 6 foot 1. He's much shorter than me. - His breath smelled sour, and he had awful BO. - He kept calling the candidate by the wrong name. - He bought a welshcake at an independent bakery (photo op) and threw it away when he got outside. - He looks so much older in real life than on TV.

I have a recipe for them that I am almost certainly making entirely wrongly but they are very nice. When I make them they are basically like an extremely dense scone, which is good because they retain moisture and will keep for about a week and you can eat them without any butter, whereas scones are obviously much worse even one day later. Generally would recommend them over scones for this reason as I find them more practical and they taste very similar. But yes I think even if you make them right you get something kind of like a scone but flatter. Would like to have a "proper" one at some point so I know what they are actually supposed to be like.

What is this 'keep for about a week' of which you speak? I know it not.

Well I should say "up to a week" because I have never actually managed to let them last more than about four days, but they showed no sign of deterioration  I stopped making them because I would just eat them all and be kind of sick afterwards. But they are good if you need something calorically dense and portable. I made some for a friend once who was having a rough week so she would have something to eat at least wherever she was.

So scones crossed with dwarf bread then, got it. Thus furthering my suspicions that the Welsh have intermarried with the Dwarves at some point

I’ve never tried putting butter/jam/cream on a Welsh cake. Tempted to make some to try it. I’ve tried several times to make some following my great aunt’s recipe (with lard!) but they never come out right.

I actually tried to make a kind of welsh cake jam pelmeni. It... kind of works? But it is hard to get the dough to stick and the jam isn't the best filling because it just tastes like you're eating a load of jam. But if you had something a little less tart it might work quite well.

Bara brith is very nice too. I bought a small loaf (very dense stuff) from the bakery at Cardiff's Fagan Museum (an open air museum https://museum.wales/stfagans/ ) and scoffed it for my lunch in the pouring rain. (Why does it always pour with rain all day on a coach trip to anywhere?) The little houses on the site (genuine cottages) are miniscule - people used to be very short, same like Beatrix Potter's cottage.

Especially in the summer when they have medieval reenactments and stuff. They also moved a really old pub, brick by brick, from somewhere to the museum site a few years back. Toll House from the Rebecca Riots is my fave. And the old schoolhouse (a staple of primary school trips for any Welsh pupil - learning about the Welsh Not). Lots of political history at St Fagan's. Great place.

I'm [glad] that wearing a face mask in public is no longer required, because my train in the morning is [certainly not packed every single day], so giving the conscientious souls who take the train to work the opportunity to [breathe 'fresh' air] would be [novel] and in no way contribute to me having an increased chance of catching covid-19.

Yeah really. I've been out plenty but STILL not been sick. The mask is staying. Coughing fuckers in the beans aisle in ASDA passing on the bean plague. E: also going to make welsh cakes tomorrow now and surprise my mum with them. She bought me a tub of jersey cream today so i feel a returned favour of something to spread it on is good!

I know that he's at best a problematic fave, but Frankie Boyle described Boris Johnson, when he was first running for Mayor of London, as the sort of man who 150 years ago would have died aged 32 leading a cavalry charge into a volcano. I genuinely can't think of a better summary of him (and of the generally ridiculous and persistent type of upper-class twit he represents).
