The hash brown, on account of them being fully disgusting to the point they make me feel like I'm going to boke just looking at one

The toast is under the egg. A savvy move, as toast typically takes up an insane amount of valuable plate real estate.

Good spot, it looks like not enough toast for the meal but is enough that the hash brown is 100% the discarded item.

I do like just fried egg on toast with some salt tbf.

But even then I would also enjoy a hash brown to dip in the egg.

It's missing chips, peeled plum tomatoes cooked until the juice reduces and thickens, and that fried bread is gonna go soggy under the egg, it should be on a plate with the toast there instead on soak duty

I get it. If it's not done right then it's really oily and sickly. A badly cooked sausage or egg can still be fine, but a badly cooked hash brown is disgusting.

If toast is ever on the plate from the start then we're looking at an imperfect breakfast to be fair, side plate or that wierd little vertical rack is fine though I'll admit a preference for a side plate if only to butter on.

Chips at breakfast is just wrong.

Oh, gently caress yes. I did a load of travelling around Europe a few years back, and my takeaways were:

• The Spanish words for 'driving' and 'tailgating' are the same
• The Italians use the white lines on the autostrada as guides - for the centreline of their car, like it's a Scalextric slot
• The Swiss drive as if they own the road. As in, "What the gently caress are you doing on my road, peasant? Get out of my way or I will kill you with my Audi Q7"

Everywhere else seemed pretty chill. And French motorways are great. Need to pull over? There's a nice aire within five minutes. None of this "26 miles to the next lovely Moto" crap.

Here's a question:

Why all the facebook pages suddenly giving away million pound houses? I'm not talking about scam pages, I'm talking about legit pages like charities, that post the sponsored post and then go back to posting normal stuff, so it's not a hack either.

I was just reminded of it on a youtube video with the host saying it was sponsored by Omaze giving away a chance at a fancy looking house. And quickly googling "why is everyone giving away million pound houses" it seems like Omaze are usually involved.

I'm assuming the technicalities of the scam revolve around this:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8175132/three-million-house-raffle-mark-beresford/

(Apologies for the Sun link but it's the only link I could find that wasn't actually advertising the house).

Omaze are a decent company and have been doing stuff like this for years.

Unlike many of the house raffles its part of their terms and conditions that no matter how many tickets they sell, they will give away the house and have also guaranteed a minimum amount to charity.

Pretty much every other house raffle is a scam though.

Why were Plaid not able to eat Labours lunch like the SNP did? Is it because Welsh Labour are less lovely than Scottish Labour, or is it some failure on Plaid's part?

A few pages back but funnily enough, I wrote my dissertation on this very subject years back. And much like any dissertation I can't quite remember what I wrote in it. If I recall the TL:DR was much like what namesake said in his post.

Plaid was actually very slightly more successful than the SNP in their first respective assembly elections and their vote shares stayed in sync in '03 as well. And even in 2007 when the SNP took government they were only ahead of Plaid by about 10%. I do remember arguing that Plaid's problem was that they never really managed to detach themselves from being a minority interest party. Even to this day if you were to ask someone what Plaid's top priority is, it would probably still be promoting Welsh language and culture. The SNP, on the other hand managed to diversify and even play down their nationalist tendencies to an extent in 2007 to appeal as a "safe" alternative to Labour for left-leaning unionists. Of course, after winning the 2011 majority they had no choice to go back to banging the drum for independence. Which actually cost them electorally if you look at the few elections between 2011 and 2014 (most notably, failing to break Labour's Glasgow majority in 2012 when they were widely expected to).

When I do weekend long larp events, a full English is the only way to get the day started. Same for a day of hiking. Your body just chews through the calories as the day goes on, so if you're planning to keep a constant low level of effort throughout the day then there's nothing like a full English to power you through.

Flapjack is the mid-morning/afternoon snack to keep you going until the next oversized meal. Then you wash down some nice, empty alcoholic calories from 8 til late, more flapjack as a pre-bed snack, then get in your sleeping bag when the birds start singing and wake up fresh as a daisy after 4 hours sleep.

God I miss it.

See when I larp I normally rely on the finest of breakfast whiskeys to get me going, then just scavenge as needed. A full English is just too much for my delicate constitution to take in the AM.

Looks like the first event for me since March last year will be at the August bank holiday assuming nothing else goes horribly wrong. Seems so far away now.

Edit: I basically don’t drink in normal life but become the most degenerate of alcoholics on hitting a LARP event for some reason.

There is a genuine possibility of events running by the end of August, pretty soon after I am likely to have had a second shot, and I am in this weird place where I have completely adjusted to the solitary life of lockdown and the mere thought of going from no socialising to all of it all at once is making me anxious. Christ knows what it'll feel like to actually do it. Assuming events run/it is halfway sensible to do them.

Yeah, pretty much where I’m at wrt lockdown stuff. I’m sure as hell not going to do any fest games until next year even if they do run (though I’m trying empire in 2022. Some friends and I have a casino planned in the League). Smaller games only until then- Flying Lead will hopefully be the restart point, which is apt as it was also the last event I did. Or that pretty much anyone did, as it was the weekend before lockdown began :p

I'm sad to say for me it's got to be the black pudding. I just can't stand it. I've tried so many variants and it just tastes like iron. Like someone soaked breadcrumbs in blood (I realise that's basically what it is but it tastes so strong and awful to me) I've had several pies in Yorkshire where they added black pudding and it ruins the whole thing.

On the Dutch, I read that book when I moved there and found it to be a fairly reasonable high level look at cultural differences. It didn't prepare me at all for how awfully racist nearly everyone was though. I can't imagine living there and not immediately seeing it.

I arrived during sinterklaas though and chose to live in an area right by a Turkish supermarket which one of my colleagues immediately sneered at and called "colourful" with air quotes. The apartment block whatsapp group was entirely filled with white people panicking about brown people being seen in the stairwells and strange smells.

That was just week 1. Over the year I lived there they were essentially at war with the Turkish supermarket and kept trying to use their bins to throw poo poo in, while complaining how unsanitary everything was and trying to block any and all development of any sort to the area.

And yeah speaking fluent German then learning Dutch successfully broke both languages for me after I stopped learning Dutch.
