I think part of it is just it tastes likes home. Part of it is undoubtedly they've always had effective ad campaigns, like Irn Bru, Made From Girders. Until relatively recently it was hard to find even in England, never mind the rest of the world, so if you were drinking Irn Bru you were probably in Scotland

Well this is a load of rubbish! Irn Bru has been pretty commonplace in English shops for my entire life, which by the looks of your username is a pretty similar timeframe. I'd say the only real difference is that you'd never see Irn Bru on offer in a cafe or restaurant in England, but even your average convenience shop in buttfuck nowhere midlands has probably always had a can of 'Bru in its fridge.

Hello, dear
The Stormont Assembly has once again failed to elect a Speaker after the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) blocked the move.

The assembly met on Tuesday in a bid to pass a stalled organ donation law inspired by a six-year-old boy.

“This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts...” (Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)

I saw on twitter some people going berserk over Down's Syndrome drag artists (basically along the lines of people with Downs are just 'eager to please' and will do what they're asked, and are being manipulated, and obviously those 'forcing' them to do this should be strung up etc and by no means did they choose to do this for themselves etc.). Little recognition that people with Downs have minds of their own and these days hold down jobs - including some teaching assistants etc as society has moved on in terms of providing more opportunities for people.

Anyway, so a bit more googling and they are a troop of performers and here is the tiktok.

Further, went to their website https://www.dragsyndrome.com/ and find that their patron (not a patreon type patron) is none other than Robert Wyatt (former Soft Machine, Matching Mole drummer who was member of the RCP). (And yes, I checked it was that Robert Wyatt not someone with the same name).

Jeffrey is not going to go down in history as the first unionist in Stormont to submit to being second fiddle to a Fenian - it really is as simple as that. The Brexit bollocks over the protocol is a handy smokescreen

That's all Leviticus, so the same god that can be tricked into thinking you're indoors with some BT surplus poles and wire.

Or at least goes along with it.

Can't imagine why people who are frequently stigmatized for their presentation to the world might enjoy performance art, where atypical presentation is accepted because of the concept of the stage being a place where the ordinary rules are suspended.

I know there are regional variants but I've never seen a white pudding where the primary ingredients weren't pork, pork fat and oats in that order.

Having looked through the recipes for a bunch of White Puddings, I can conclude every one I saw on Tesco.ie's website was made from Pork.
(You can get ones made from Turkey meat, which my wife gets and quite likes. There are also plant based ones for Vegans.)
But I have never heard of beef based ones.

Also a unit of Black or White Pudding is called a Chub, which is frankly hilarious.

There's an apocryphal story, usually from a friend who works for the council (the dad version of my uncle who works at Nintendo) which tells of how departments horde their budgets for the entire year and then frantically try to spend it all on potholes in feb / march, because if the department comes in under budget, the higher ups will cut the budget going forwards by whatever was left over - it's less that they'll have to give it back, and more that they'll permanently lose whatever the surplus amount was.

Bit of a throwback to much earlier in the thread and around the time of the offalfood debates, but anyway-
Councils aren't allowed to carry money over to the next year because any unspent budget is regarded as surplus to requirements and gets docked from next year's allocation. Departments will have a shopping list of loads of minor nice-to-haves that gets dragged out around February and used to exhaust the remaining budget on mini-roundabouts and traffic islands and so on. Councils are also limited in their ability to take on debt which is set by a code of practice.
In other words, they're forced to work within a very short term outlook of annual cash flow that requires a lot of administration to keep on track, provokes loads of weird behaviour around optimisation for an arbitrary spending target and severely limits any ability to do big picture stuff.
What's an interesting parallel is that this is the same model of government finance that the tories seem to be besotted with. Might be a useful way of disabusing people of the national credit card notion, rather than focussing on the economic facts, to simply point out that it means running the country like the council.

It seems like a fairly bland makeup; the stuff from our local butcher has a lot more flavour in terms of added spices.
