Stopped for lunch on the way back from LARPCon. Mrs A, your stepdad found me! Gave them the best deal of all weekend.  Finished at more than double my original targets and even smashed my self imposed stretch goal. I can’t stop grinning tbh. I’ll be announcing new flavours and a new Goon Special in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes open!

Awooga! Awooga! Fudjit is now open for March orders! Following on from feedback we’re introducing a new flavour and bringing back a couple of old favourites! March flavours: Original Vanilla Milk Chocolate Unicorn Barf - marshmallows both melted into this and sprinkled on top with crunchy sugar unicorns. A favourite amongst our younger customers! Billionaire’s Shortbread - As ever, as dense as the heart of a dying star. Just like millionaire’s shortbread only much richer! Rum and Raisin - A new flavour, due to popular demand! And this month’s goon special: ‘The Great Divider’, made with the dreaded Terry’s Chocolate Orange. All bags of fudge cost £3.50; get a box of five for £15! Postage costs for up to a kilogram are £3.55; for larger orders please ask. 🙂 As always, please drop us a message here or to Fudjit.orders@gmail.com to place an order. Payment is accepted via PayPal or direct bank transfer 🙂 All orders will ship on Thursday March 26th Oh and anyone with ideas how to make non-disgusting monster munch fudge, I am all ears

ThomasPaine posted:I'm trying to make a point to sit nearby Asian people on public transport as a result of this kind of stuff, obviously not in a big dramatic way. No idea if it's appreciated, but eh Afraid that the Billionaire’s shortbread does contain gluten. None of the other flavours this month do though! (While gluten is used in the kitchen for other purposes, I make sure to avoid cross contamination).

Bacon Terrorist posted:Ironically I know a lot of train drivers who can't drive cars (never passed their test) and if you saw them in the pub would never get on a train again. Seconded. My housemate is a tube driver and has no driving licence. He also bathes about once a month and is ordered to keep his bedroom door closed at all times lest his stench leak into the rest of the house.

Deep cut right there. I loved that show, probably because it pissed my mother off who banned it (this was the fate of a lot of cartoons etc in my childhood). It felt deliciously subversive to 8-10yo me.

Just went and did my weekly shop in north London. Tesco was crammed like I’ve never seen it at 1pm on a Tuesday, and the loo roll and canned tuna aisles looked like they’d been visited by The Golden Horde. Just nothing left.

ThomasPaine posted:What precisely would a lockdown look like? No public transport in/out I would imagine. Actual roadblocks preventing people leaving the city boundaries? Does it imply an actual enforced 'everyone off the streets'/shops shutting etc? Because if so boy howdy I'm going to need a few more tins of beans in the flat. If they go full on ‘nobody allowed on the streets’ I really can’t see that ending well for a whole variety of reasons.

Welp, my 70 year old parents (who live in the heart of London’s legal district and do a ridiculous amount of social stuff) are now officially fleeing the country to their place in France. Which given it’s in a tiny village is probably the right choice for them if they’re not already infected. Hopefully having to literally flee for the border will take some of the wind out of my Tory-loving dad’s sails..

Z the IVth posted:You can't post something like that and not actually say it! This was like 25 years ago, and my Latin skills have gone since then. But I went full hog- curse written out in Latin, surrounded by his name reversed and overturned, symbols of the hanged man and various bits and pieces of Latin occult gibberish cribbed from curse tablets found in Pompeii and (iirc) Bath. One of the best pieces of work I did for that class, or in the whole of my yr8 stuff (I really really hated that ginger scouser prick; the fact that at 12 I was 6” taller than him and had a tendency to stare him down and laugh when he went off at me probably didn’t endear me to him either). Edit: dirty google translate: ut sicut serpentes comedent sacerdotes Laocoon dum sacrum caput ejus pendet in dolio urina.

Fudge Related Announcement As you’re all no doubt aware, there’s a bit of a supply crisis going on right now due to mass panic buying and the coronavirus. This has hit my operation particularly hard- in my area you can’t find butter, brown sugar or condensed milk for love nor money. And it’s a bit hard to make fudge without those! In addition rationing being instituted at all my local stores makes acquiring sufficient amounts of what they /do/ have near impossible. I am putting alternative supply chains in place to make up for this, but there is a lead time involved. Thus the current batch will, I’m afraid, not be able to ship on time. The announced shipping date was March 26th. Currently It looks like I’ll need to delay that by a week in order to provide time for supplies to make it through and then be converted to fudge. So now the provisional ship-date will be April 2nd. I can only apologise for this. The UKMT as a community has been absolutely incredible in the support and encouragement of my fledgling business, and is also responsible for a large majority of my online customers. I feel like I am letting down friends and comrades with this, and failing to come through on the good faith you have all shown in me. If any of my current customers with orders on the books wish for a refund given this delay, please let me know by pm or email to Fudjit.orders@gmail.com and I will action that immediately. I can only hope that I have not lost your good will or future custom in happier times. Tl;dr: * No ingredients, can’t cook * Exploring alternative supply chains * Current orders delayed by a week.

Well, was in Tesco when the announcement went out. Place was already picked clean- barely any meat, no pasta or other staples. However I have managed to source enough ingredients for this month’s fudge orders now, after several days of hitting up every small shop in the area. So swings and roundabouts I guess.

Further to Dad’s Army chat I have now discovered that Clive Dunn was A. One of the youngest members of the cast and B. A committed socialist. I don’t know why that makes the world seem a little less bleak to me, but frankly I’m holding on to what I can right now.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Camrath have you been doing consulting work for the finnish government Never really did the whole fur suit thing- my niche was body painting (it’s how I met my wife; first time we met in the flesh I painted her mostly nude body. Was such a gentleman she was then convinced I was gay for months after..). She used to make fursuits though, and tbh the profit margin on those things is absolutely insane. There are worse cottage industries to take part in during quarantine. If one can swallow one’s pride enough, that is. We still have several of her suits (plus one she made for me that I wore like twice) in storage that we mean to sell. Trouble is to sell to furries means interacting with the community, and we’re both truly soured on it all.

I seem to be holding steady on weight, and in fact am probably going to end this fitter- with the gyms all closed I’ve switched from my normal 2-3 times weekly heavy weights based workout to daily 4+ mile walks and TRX routines every other day. Incidentally, get a TRX If you want a really efficient and space-saving method of working out at home. It’s a body weight suspension trainer, so you can use it literally anywhere you can fasten it to a tree/fence/whatever and it’d take some imagination to injure yourself on it. Before I was a fudge magnate I worked for years as a PT and fell completely in love with it.

Jedit posted:He was also extremely proud of having set the speed record for entering Cockney rhyming slang (since broken by Jeremy Hunt). I wouldn't listen to James Blunt's music, but I do like him. He’s genuinely a nice guy. My little brother spent most of his time at boarding school loving the poo poo out of his sister, so I’ve met him a few times (also his parents are the poshest people I’ve ever met, and I’ve literally met royalty).

In happier news, this month’s UKMT special fudge, ‘The Great Divider’ is currently cooling in my kitchen (it took me three days to find enough chocolate oranges for it). And it’s bloody delicious, coming from someone who doesn’t even like choc orange.
