Except the mushroom gravy, but that is also claimed by Ukraine. this is specifically southern sausage gravy, which is mostly just used on biscuits for breakfast. "gravy" generally speaking, is just normal chicken or beef gravy.

What the hell is in American gravy anyway? Specifically the stuff they dump on scones. At least it's not a loving jus, anyone offering me that can do one.

Bobby Deluxe posted:What the hell is in American gravy anyway? Specifically the stuff they dump on scones. southern style biscuits aren't really scones since they have a higher proportion of butter, are generally fluffier, and don't usually have sugar in them but specifically the sausage gravy is just: fry up loose sausage in a skillet (most american breakfast sausage is a patty or loose sausage, and not the link style), when the fat is rendered out, toss in a few tablespoons of flour, make the roux in the sausage fat, and then stir in milk to add the liquid instead of using a broth. most gravy eaten in america isn't sausage gravy, though, it's just drippings, roux, and chicken or beef broth like any other gravy

So, I just took the plunge and grabbed the "loyal customer" fixed price with Octopus. £212 a loving month. Thing is, the way I see it is that the further rises are going to be inevitable. There's now enough convenient excuses that can be made for the country to just begrudgingly accept it. I've never been good at cutting through the bullshit for energy but that's still just an estimate anyway. My actual usage for gas is gonna go way down over spring/summer/autumn, so if the price miraculously falls again I can make the 0 fee exit and stick with them at the lower price cap. Then I'll just have a load of credit on my account to eat through right?

Kin posted:So, I just took the plunge and grabbed the "loyal customer" fixed price with Octopus. Chuffin' eck. I'm on £68 a month with them fixed 2 years (literally a week before it all went pear shaped). Based on annual use of approx 2300 'High' and 660 'low' p.a. I'm all electric and live in a tiny flat. All my lights are low watt LED. So apart from the fridge/freezer, computers, fan (most nights), kettle 3-4 times a day, microwave 1-2 times a day, electric 1x pd, it's heating that gets me - normally if outside temp is under 3C. I've very limited scope for using the economy 7 as we use a small communal laundry rather than having our own washing machine / dryer (not that I've space for those!). About the only thing I could do different is turn off all the things on standby overnight which I'm not convinced would save much. Guess I need to observe when I'm away for a few days so fridge is on 24/7 but standbys are all off. If I go away for a week or more, I clear out the freezer and absolutely everything is off. I'm not (at the moment!) prepared to cut back on heating because I don't overuse it and around 4pm in the afternoon when I'm normally very tired, I feel extremely cold.

forkboy84 posted:I dunno, it's not really worth discussing is it? Telegraph publish a nonsensical anti-union screed, sun rises in the east. Eddie Dempsey did sign on to the spectacularly badly judged Stop the War letter, the content of which does not appear to have been misrepresented. Eddie Dempsey also definitely wrote that Morning Star obituary of a leading Donbas separatist commander. This has now mysteriously disappeared from their website, but the Wayback Machine comes through for us. In it, Dempsey is enthusiastically on the side of the Russian-backed separatists (denying any Russian backing, of course) and against Euromaidan, describing the Kyiv government as a junta. The quotes in the Telegraph have been faithfully reproduced from the obituary. The man he was eulogising definitely ran kangaroo courts in Luhansk. Mick Cash also did write a circular in 2015 urging support for "Solidarity with the Antifascist Resistance in Ukraine" and also described the Ukrainian government as "far right". Again this is now unavailable on the RMT website, but doesn't escape the Wayback Machine. Describing the post-Euromaidan governments of Ukraine as fascists is the exact rhetoric that Vladimir Putin has been deploying during the current invasion. But sure, let's just handwave these extremely uncomfortable things away. A total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through!

Heart attack inducing, but amazing. yeah it's pretty great. not too much worse than normal gravy, but honestly amazing for breakfast on a cold day. if you ever make it (you can just use ground pork and add sausage spices if getting loose sausage is a pain), add a lot of black pepper.

You've convinced me; the RMT strikes are Neo-Soviet plot. Do you reckon Putin is behind the Coventry bin strike as well? That's the sort of thing that crafty man would do. Anyone that's done intelligence work in the UK knows how angry Brits get when their bins aren't collected.

The RMT is a union of contrasts. Being widely supportive of CND whilst their Barrow branch having a nuclear submarine on their banner, for instance. I know someone with additional needs who is adamant they are going to Ukraine to volunteer, trying to dissuade them not just because of the obvious but because their issues really don't lend themselves to military discipline and following orders. I take it there won't be any screening people out on this when they enquire at the embassy? Their additonal needs mean when recently in trouble with the police they had to have an appropriate adult present for the interview, despite being in their 20's.

Despite Truss saying it was A Okay to go join the Ukrainian militias it is not okay so if they start talking about it on the applications or border crossing then they might find themselves stopped. That said I imagine the ukraines are happy to take literally anyone who can walk and carry a rifle and potentially eastern european border guards just looking the other way so theres a risk.

Fingers crossed then, they are fit and strong but can't follow orders at all due to their additional needs so I would be concerned they are as at risk of catching a Ukrainian bullet as a Russian one.
