Logically speaking, batman should be the natural predator of mothman, so in the long term it seems inevitable that batmen would overtake mothmen, but I would rather have mothmen than batmen in general.

Also Batman does actually help people out. Which is something that separates him from real world billionaires. That and he built his own car that doesn't explode.

Gold and Sullivan are rich fuckers but i don't think they're worth a billion even combined, and even if they were the days of West Ham being a working class club - of any Premiership team for that matter - ended decades ago. On Tuesday night two blokes behind me, both of course in Stone Island, were comparing the facilities at the various golf clubs they were members of. Sullivan's a landlord but it's mostly commercial, and both made their money from good solid honest grot - I'm willing to bet there's a dozen people right now within a mile (horizontally, and a couple of hundred metres up vertically) who have caused more damage to the working class than those lot. (Not that I don't want the fuckers out of the club, they're leeches who are just spending the exact bare minimum they can get away with until the first opportunity to buy out the LS and sell the whole lot on, but I definitely ain't going to fool myself that whoever buys them out is going to be some paragon of virtue, I just hope they won't be quite so nakedly loving the club over)

I remember playing Arkham City and thinking 'you're beating these generic henchmen unconscious, in their vests, in the snow, in the middle of a humanitarian crisis run by supervillains'. Batman kills hundreds of guys.

Much like capitalism, if batman does not personally shoot someone to death, any death by externalities as a result of his actions cannot be laid at his feet.

Because I just can't stop myself, here's the actual league table of Michelin-starred MPs: Nickie Aiken, Two Cities - 33 (including 3 3* and 2 3*) Greg Hands, Chelsea and Fulham - 4 (1 3*, 1 2*) Kier Starmer, Holborn and St. Pancras - 4 (2 2*) Felicity Buchan, Kensington - 2 (1 3*) Apsana Begum, Poplar and Limehouse - 2 (1 2*) Diane Abbott, South Tottenham - 2 Rushanara Ali, Bethnal Green and Bow - 2 Neil Coyle and a bunch of other nobodies - 1. Theresa May has more Michelin-starred restaurants in her constituency than Coyle (thanks to Bray), as does Deirdre Brock, because apparently there are three 1-starred restaurants in Leith.

For srs, I've eaten at a bunch of one- and two-stars for special occasions over the years, some are not worth it, some very much are. My favourite restaurant in my city is a one-star and I would go there more often if I could

It's really weird to catch the bus that goes all the way from the station and drops you off outside the banana flats, when you've just read Trainspotting. Yeah I was going to be snarkier about it but I realised that there's 2-star restaurants in loving Bethnal Green and so really don;t have a leg to stand on there.

jiggerypokery posted:I've never eaten a Michelin-star. I assume it isn't worth it It depends. I have eaten at 3 now I think, a 3-star in Copenhagen, Geranium - expensive but absolutely mindblowing. It was about £250 per person but it was 20 (very small) courses and we were there for about 5 hours. I ate at the Fat Duck (one of Heston's) and it was about the same price, but definitely not as good. Some of the food was excellent but some other stuff was definitely more style-over-substance. I would probably not recommend this one. Then Pied A Terre in London, twice now, we did some tasting menu thing for something like £80 for I forget how many courses, 7 or so maybe? You get a couple of more substantial main-type dishes with also things like an amuse-bouche at the start and a bread course and stuff. Very very good food. The service and atmosphere at these places is also excellent and if you're booking in advance they're typically *very* good about taking into account your food preferences, allergies etc. (important for me because I'm vegetarian). Basically I think some Michelin Star places are overpriced, and some are actually very reasonable for what you get and the work that goes into the food. It's worth noting that some places that do tasting menus (often like 10 courses) in the evenings for £70-150 often also do a lunch where it's 2 or 3 courses for like £50 and the food is still just as good. As a (very) special treat, it is good. The stuff at Geranium was the best food I've ever eaten by a mile. I allow myself to not feel bad about spending so much money on a meal because I don't smoke and I don't drink often so I figure gently caress it, a bit of indulgence once in a while is fine, when I have the money. I've only done it like 4 times though, nevertheless. Despite the comparatively high prices, I can believe that (at least some of) these michelin star places might not make that much money. The ingredients they use are really high quality and it takes an army of cooks to make it. At Geranium the kitchen is totally open to the seating area so you can see them making the food and they had about 20 people buzzing around making the different dishes, for only about 30 customers. Of course some of the customers they get are the sort to spend a couple of grand on a bottle of wine to go with their meal so I guess they make some money there. That said, I checked out the prices of some of the wine we had at Geranium and they were charging only like 10% over retail or something. Heston's place was taking the piss with the wine prices, comparatively. For all this though I preferred Vanilla Black (no stars, vegetarian restaurant) in London to Pied A Terre - not everywhere with excellent, michelin-quality food actually gets a star. Unfortunately they've closed down permanently since covid. WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Feb 11, 2022 |

I went to a fancy restaurant once and honestly the being waited on thing is really offputting. Like I get you need someone to bring the food from the kitchen and you might as well bring it to the table, but the whole thing where you have people popping up to call you sir a lot and pour water and that is really loving weird, don't like it one bit. More restaurants should have a big plate rack you can put your plates in when you're done IMO.

Cost £47 for three courses, and in total there was about 10-12 mouthfuls across all of it. Went to a chippy afterwards to get proper fed. And the chef was on Masterchef UK as the celeb guest chef.

No Michelin stars but really good and only £14 for a main. So not every TV chef is a wanker, at least in terms of overcharging for food.

In the 1990s*, one of my brothers won a weekend in a hotel London and £100 to spend at Gary Rhodes "Peoples' Palace" restaurant at the South Bank. He invited me to join him and his wife at the restaurant as I was living in London. The portions were pretty small and while the food was ok, we wouldn't have spent that much money if it was out of our own pockets. *most probably - might have been before or after.

Listening to that Trojan horse podcast. Only into episode 4 but I'm guessing lol the British state just decided to use a batshit defense strategy from a woman who was bang to rights guilty to justify a whole raft of anti Muslim laws. Its all bullshit and everyone in a position of power just went along with it and then quite happily pretended to care about antisemitism and saw no hypocrisy. We are so hosed.
