It's the end of an era, no longer can i rely upon Tesco Tinned Sweet & Sour Chicken to taste as advertised, it was a reliable fallback. Now it just tastes sour, for the past 6 months at least and i had a few old cans from last year that were lovely. First world problems.

OwlFancier posted:Can you not add some golden syrup to make it sweeter? That would derail the whole ''woe is me'' narrative i'm constructing here, besides i already paid £1.50 for it so now i have to buy sugar?  Above post should be viewed as light hearted sarcasm, this has been annoying me for months.

learnincurve posted:The river Derwent’s real name is the river Om, which makes infinitely more sense when the other rivers near it are called things like the Ouse, Don, Ure, Noe, Wye, and so on. Wiki makes up some bollocks about how it’s in a Welsh poem but local historians think at some point, probably Elizabethan, there was a aristocratic ninby who thought “Om” was a bit uncouth. They should have meditated on the river Om but they Derwent their own way....... i'll see myself out.

My 9/11 memory: it was the 3rd anniversary of my mums death (gently caress cancer) so i had taken the day off work. Was lying in bed watching BBC News 24 as they covered the first crash and then saw the second one crash live. That was not a good day at all.

Failed Imagineer posted:I mean since its basically impossible from an engineering perspective, I think even the DUPers only believed in it to the extent that they were incredibly naive, or else thought they could personally profit/show their ingroup affiliations/stick it to Them 'Uns. For the higher ups i'm going with profit and grinding Them 'Uns when they can do so. Might be possible engineering wise but it would be of the upmost folly to do it, it would make the Burj Khalifa and Ryugyong Hotel look positively sane.

Boris wanted to be Winston Churchill, he ended up being a poorly manufactured Kermit the Frog. Labour needs.... i don't know what the gently caress Labour needs, but i don't think Starmer is the answer. I think my main hope of Irish reunification is to never again having to listen to British *political views on anything at all.. ever.  *edit to clarify.

He was my local MP when i was growing up & helped my da when he injured his back at work, helped him through all the legal crap to get compensation (not that you got much in the 70's). They both talked a terrible load of shite so that's probably why they got on despite the politics.
