Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Crisp chat tangent, but what's a decent bag of peanuts to buy these days?

I've gotten hooked on those sensations sweet chilli peanuts, but can only find them in Tesco.

The Tesco chilli peanuts come second after them.

I tried some flavoured KP nuts recently and they were mushy garbage, but I've not really seen many more nut varieties like you do crisps.

They don't have to be chilli flavoured, but the crispy coating ones are quite nice if there's more like them.

I guess the Mail is marginally better than the Sun as it's more about getting people angry and horny while the Sun is there to make you angry and have inverted views on marginal tax rates.

Yes, it's not a valid criticism of the price of food (or housing, I can about manage a decent curry for about half that with bulk rice and peas, but that has no relevance either way as to whether I deserve shelter), it's just that their reaction to their predecessors going "you don't deserve a house if you have a DVD player" has been to either go in the semi-veiled

or full tilt

direction.

Rather than blame the actual culprits of their tory hack predecessors making bank on all the housing while mocking the poor for doing anything other than huddling around a 3" cathode TV eating ryvita for decades.

So they still deserve the piss taking out of them for that.

Probably just the Tesco own brand sweet chilli coated ones. They're also way cheaper than any other place I've found.

The KP spicy chilli ones are a nice flavour but a bit soft and even more overpriced.

I took a brief gander and Gill is one of the slightly less poo poo ones. She's been very consistent at least in complaining about how sole home ownership is out of reach for her generation and wrote an article on the new trend of taking out joint mortgages with a friend saying that while it may have potential problems it's better than giving the money to landlords. It is of course all leavened with a healthy portion of "a sinister trend for students not to want to flat share with Tory Leave voters", as if not wanting to share a roof with a racist fascist moron is a bad thing, but she's close to actual self-awareness.

The Telegraph and Times now have multiple columnists exactly like Gill on-staff - these posh-totty young-adult Haw-Haws whose only job is to soothingly reassure an audience of older men over and over again that actually, young people are all feckless, over-sensitive and headed in entirely the wrong direction and we shouldn't listen to anything they have to say.

I got the vibe she was more sorry for the murderers parents 'having also lost a child;' a sympathy for another parent sort of thing.

It’s a date wrapped in bacon you loving lunatics; and it’s better than a pig in blanket. I said what I said.

E: @Kin it’s KP honey roasted or salt and pepper cashews from I can’t remember who. Tho any cashew is going to beat pretty much any other nut. Other than macadamia but if you can afford to just munch macadamias then you’re probably too rich to be welcome here.

I can smell Boar Taint so about 50% of the time that someone is cooking bacon or other pork products it makes me incredibly nauseous.

Christmas is the worst as people love their bacon on the turkey and a joint of gammon - which is often rife with it and releases a foul, pungent stench that persists all day - so much so even the sight of gammon makes me feel ill nowdays.

Which is another reason I no longer watch Question Time.
