Whenever I read one of those godawful Scrooge takes I feel the need to mutter 'are there no prisons? are there no workhouses?' to myself for a while to try to soothe my incandescent rage I loving love A Christmas Carol and I'm not sure most of these fuckers have even read it e: ugh awful snipe, quick goon, post your video again

I actually watched Christmas Carol earlier tonight and what struck me was that even after his "redemption", Scrooge found it really funny to tell the kid he will pay extra if the kid can acquire that Turkey within 5 minutes.

I used to work with someone called Henry Potter. He would get really sad and downcast if anyone called him Harry, intentionally or by mistake - probably borne out of a childhood full of being bullied. And yet not once did I call him a warped, frustrated old man! I did call him Harry by accident, twice, and I still cringe to think about it

Worth noting that those figures add up to 64%, meaning the most popular option was "Don't know" or "None of the cunts". Also: The poo poo Tory rag posted:The poll, commissioned by GB News, also found that a majority (57 per cent) of the British public believe that “nothing in Britain works any more”.

Is angostura bitters more or less bitter than Campari? The reason I ask is I've loved bitters for years. I've got orange, cocoa and angostura and regularly mix them with various drinks. I've described it as alcohol umami before. I finally got some Campari and tried it many ways in varying amounts. Its never failed to be utterly disgusting. It's like trying to drink red coloured liquid ear wax or if you accidentally get a mouthful of deodorant. It's ruined every drink I've added it to, but the amounts are always vast compared to the two to five dashes of angostura bitters. Maybe i don't like bitter things after all. Sour things though... Them i can enjoy.

We went to what I would describe as a "mid-range fancy" Italian restaurant once near where we used to live in the UK and my wife had a Negroni (equal parts Gin, Vermouth, Campari). I tried some of that - was rank. She claimed to like it, but she claims to like all sorts of bitter things I don't think any reasonable person should like.

This discussion is profoundly weird to me, I like Campari in moderation, even neat, but have trouble drinking more than one half-pint of beer because too bitter. Okay maybe I'm the weird one.

Angostura is fine, it adds a nice dimension to an old fashioned, don't know what else you'd do with it though. Probably don't shot it.

Whenever someone complains about 'politics' being brought into any topic, is because they are uncomfortable with the status quo being questioned due to their (usually unconscious) total support of it. Nowhere is this more evident than in our local Facebook page, which is full of people loudly wondering why literally everything in the UK is getting worse, but then crossly shutting down the conversation when you point out who's been in charge for the last twelve years.

kecske posted:well she likes you I've always assumed I have the 'can't taste bitterness' gene because I don't even understand what bitterness is exactly, but it's noticeable that I really like things other people describe as bitter (sprouts, non-smooth coffee, g&t and angostura bitters etc), so maybe some of us just experience it as pleasant.

Its all ReformUK in the comments. The Tories aren't cruel enough for the gammons of GBNews any more. And seeing Farage is on GBNews playing armchair general and captain hindsight every day on it, all the gammons think hes a prophet and new leader. Hes proclaiming Britain isn't working, but it hasn't even been a year since he was doing shows all over the gammon enclaves in a fake pub setting, saying how swell Brexit was going for everyone.

My trust is up for the next round of nursing strikes and already making GBS threads itself. Looking forward to Barclay again saying that we are deliberately causing harm to patients and it would be bad to pay nurses more because that means less money for 'front line services' as if nurses aren't that. Genuinely think they are going to hold out for the next pay review and offer 3% and act like that's all the money in the pot.

Covid chat. Our company christmas party was Thursday a week ago. Some gently caress came loaded up with it, didn't tell anyone. I work two days in the office, came in two days ago. There is a team who are always there, and strange none of them are in for both days. Got poked outside work chat asking why I was in the office. Work seems have decided to totally ignore it and not tell anyone. Everyone for themselves, gently caress going in for the next few weeks.

happyhippy posted:Been watching a few GB News videos on YT the last few days, and they aren't voting Tory any longer. Honestly, some of it is just voters thinking "Well, there's no way I could have voted for the wrong option, so obviously the people I voted for are just bad at their jobs". And a lot of it is right-wing politicians being incredibly thick and also bad at their jobs. When you pander to the frothing-at-the-mouth right wing, unless you do exactly what you promise you'll do, they'll blame any gently caress up on the slight discrepancies between what was promised and what they got, even if The Butterfly Effect couldn't string together a link between the two. And, frankly, even if you implement exactly what you promised, the same people will shower those around them in flecks of foam as they explain that clearly they wanted the spirit of the thing rather than the actual thing and only a moron like Jomberly Cabbin could possibly get confused by that. So, yeah, those people should be ignored. At all times.

Scrooge decided to hire a local priest to exorcise his place. Now knowing one of Cracthit's kids will die soon, meaning he will have no home distractions and one less mouth to feed/clothe, Scrooge can cut his pay and make him work longer. The new year is looking good for old Ebb.

This isn't related to anything at all but I thought the thread might enjoy this morsel from a pathetic man:quote:Horne recalls David Baddiel, who haplessly failed at many of the tasks, leaning forward during a break in recording and whispering to Davies: “You know, I am really clever.”
