big scary monsters posted:The twisted, hateful face of State Senator Tony Blair looks down with a horrible grin from a huge billboard bearing the slogan, "Things can only get better". State senators are relatively small-fry politicians sitting in individual states' senates, it'd be like saying 'London County Councilman Tony Blair'  Edit: 2.

big scary monsters posted:Im in Norway at the moment, and what's with the caramel flavoured cheese? It's kinda like one of those bad drunk foods ideas you get, except apparently the entire country ran with it and now you have like 10 different varieties in your supermarkets. The Senators you're thinking of are just called Senators. Each state gets two. Representatives (equivalent of MPs, there are 535 in the USA) are allocated to states proportionate to population. Fun fact: There are seven states that have more Senators than Representatives.

It's all kicking off in Essex. First off, a 15 year old boy's been charged with manslaughter over the death of that Polish fella in Harlow a few months back. Meanwhile, bad news for Clacton Kippers - councillor Jack Parsons has defected to Labour - "I don't regret standing as a Ukip councillor. I still believe in the majority of their policies, but most are very, very similar to Labour" - while Lis Bennison has been accused of slapping a father at the Air Show. Why that latter one has only come out a few months later I don't know but hey, it's all fun and games.

big scary monsters posted:Im in Norway at the moment, and what's with the caramel flavoured cheese? It's kinda like one of those bad drunk foods ideas you get, except apparently the entire country ran with it and now you have like 10 different varieties in your supermarkets. It's brunost ie, "brown cheese", called as such despite not actually being real cheese: Wikipedia posted:Mysost are a family of cheese-related foods made with whey and milk and/or cream. Because the main ingredient, whey, is a by-product of the cheese making process, brunost is not technically cheese, and it does not taste like cheese. However, it is produced by cheese makers, and is sold, handled and consumed in the same way as cheese. Therefore it is generally regarded as a cheese. The texture is firm, but slightly softer than e.g. Gouda cheese, and lends itself well to cutting and shaping. It does not crumble like hard cheeses. The taste is sweet, and best described as caramel-like,[5] but with a tang that is more noticeable in the variants that contain goat's milk. Guavanaut posted:I never did figure out why someone would a) try to make soap out of fish and b) having failed, try to eat it. The key thing to remember about traditional Norwegian cuisine is that it was made with the sole purpose of killing all microbial lifeforms that get within a decimeter of it, while still technically being edible. Gotta survive winter/exciting sea adventures somehow. Overminty posted:I hope they're ok Also, this is pro-click ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Dec 1, 2016 |

The French did a test afterwards where they set a lorry full of wooden furniture on fire, it burned so hot they couldn't measure the temperature on anything they had brought.

All things aside petrol is a pretty lovely fuel for traditional fuel purposes, eg. Cooking and creating heat.
