Crispchat warning: the Pringles Rice Fusion flavours are disturbing. Not because they're bad but because they taste exactly like the foods they're replicating.

They were on sale for a bit in November so I bought loads. They're wicked.

Noswaith dda goons. Does anyone have any advice on joining a Union? It's one of the things I should have done a while ago but decided for it to be one of my new years resolutions. I'm in Cardiff but does anyone have any recommendations? I'm a bit green on the area - I know what a union is but not the actual workings of joining. Unite is about 10 minutes from my current work place (being made redundant in April was my Christmas present from them) so might work as a starting point.

What is your work (be as broad or as specific as you feel comfortable with) - that will by and large define what unions you are eligible to join.
I work in the charity sector at the moment. But likely to be leaving here rather than applying internally for another role. Thanks for the reply, I'm a bit unsure how it all works.

Thanks for the replies both regarding Unions. It's given me a point in the right direction. :)

Gear porn - call me sexist but if a book has a few pages of lovingly described, detailed kit lists (weapons, computers, survival) I figure the intended audience is male. Ranulph Fiennes is a good example.
I do enjoy the books (gear porn) from an escapist perspective as they're great for holidays or stressful times but skip the gear lists. I also skip anything written in verse form and ludicrous sex scenes wittering on about arched backs and low moans.
I started reading the Arkady Renko books, they're a fun little read without the gear porn aspect. not sure they're airport fiction but i enjoyed reading them, plus the Gorky Park film is good.

travel is good, some people who travel are wankers, not enjoying travel is absolutely a-okay.

Labour muslim network has asked leadership candidates to sign up to 10 pledges. RLB has signed up and queue several hundred comments going on about muslim grooming gangs.

Am I right in remembering that tory party candidates in the General Election were banned from signing up to any pledges by anyone?
That is the approach labour leadership candidates should have taken when the BoD presented their list. Labour is an anti-racist, pro-equality party and that should be sufficient.

loving utter state of these comments, even a BNP banner there.

It's definitely both and nobody should doubt that the BBC is just as racist as the rest of Britain.

Not seen any yet, mostly just people commenting about others commenting on it.

If you watch the prequels there's a definite weird tone of people treating the droids like they're basically not there.
I mean they are CGI so the actors can't even see or hear them. :shrug:

I thought the protocol droids were still people in suits?
I honestly have no idea - the prequels are so heavy on effects they might not even be.

Time to watch the RLM reviews of the prequels again to find out!
