I mean I can see why you'd make the comparison because shortbread is quite dire, but I'm just not a fan of saying that everything you dislike is fascist.

I have a weird thing with shortbread where it's just too loving buttery and sugary and it makes the whole thing stop being fun somehow. I have the same thing with some types of cheesecake as well.

Very airy and amazing with some mate or a cuppa too. They're also dead simple to make - literally just flour, water, salt, yeast, and lard.

I have the same thing with some types of cheesecake as well. My main complaint is that it's generally served in giant loving bricks and it's dry as hell. Like if I wanted to just eat buttery breadcrumbs I could do that. And yes I'm sure it's possible to make nice shortbread artisanally and fresh but it's a biscuit, the point of a biscuit is that it should come out of a packet and taste good. Otherwise what you have is not a biscuit but a dessert.

gently caress me, over 300 posts! Has the Queen died? Has May publically poo poo herself and resigned...oh it's bikes and biscuits.  Fig rolls, and ginger snaps reign supreme BTW, malt plebs --- Grayling might have do his usual shtick of standing in front of MPs and defending our awful rail service in the name of his arse-backwards ideology. And the Home Office apparently has a bigger issue with losing personal information than though previous: Vital immigration papers lost by UK Home Office posted:Immigration status of hundreds left in limbo after personal papers go missing

That's impressive. I didn't think it'd be possible to find the least workable solution, but our boy Davis found a way. It's like he sees the Gordian knot and thinks, "what if...what if there were more knots".

Looking like that laughing meme guy Not Operator posted:I thought they were solving the border issues with computers. No you see quote:Mr Davis ordered it after he was persuaded to abandon a technology based solution to keep the Irish border open. quote:Brexit Ministry officials took inspiration for the double hatted model from the tiny European state of Liechtenstein, which the EU allows to operate both the Swiss and EEA regimes at the same time. but what if The City and The City were real! Yes, this could work also no poo poo, this is in the sidebar quote:FLEA IN TERROR

So the hard border is just moved 5 miles inwards, right.

happyhippy posted:So the hard border is just moved 5 miles inwards, right. I can only assume that they saw the phrase "hard border" and thought "OK, what if we made the border ten miles wide and the laws transitioned on a gradient the closer you got to each side of it?" So for example on the Ireland side you can have an abortion, but one and a bit miles in you can only abort after the first eight months. Basically if you've ever read Garth Nix, it's like the border with the old kingdom, your euros slowly disintegrate as you head further north, there's a persistent drone of god save the queen, and the sky becomes perpetually drizzly, cryptography stops working and your employment contract hours trend towards zero.

Is that 5 miles either side - cause it's worth pointing out that manages to take in the overwhelming majority of an urban area covering 200,000 people

bump_fn posted:https://twitter.com/tnewtondunn/status/1002304271436664832 So 1. 'Being a part of the EU and the UK' is just another way of saying staying in the EU. 2. If there needs to be a border, moving it back 10 miles won't obviate that. It just means giving ten miles of Northern Ireland to the Republic. Is DD's brief to piss off the DUP in the most ways simultaneously?
