Sir Sidney Poitier posted:Yes, it's a statue that belonged to my grandfather and my wife hates it. We call it the scary goat man. Someday that statue is going to topple over and break, releasing your grandfather's soul which will possess a family member who tries to bring about his resurrection, probably involving a blood orgy ritual sacrifice.

smellmycheese posted:Fantatic Caribbean subtext of slavery in that. A classic The Lilt Man was a precursor of zero-hour delivery contract work and a shining example of the work-on-demand benefits of modern capitalism.

Jedit posted:White pudding is made with beef suet, not pork (although pork is sometimes added). Also it's loving vile. I know there are regional variants but I've never seen a white pudding where the primary ingredients weren't pork, pork fat and oats in that order.

The Question IRL posted:Having looked through the recipes for a bunch of White Puddings, I can conclude every one I saw on Tesco.ie's website was made from Pork. Yep, the first white pudding on Tesco was this It seems like a fairly bland makeup; the stuff from our local butcher has a lot more flavour in terms of added spices. The goon who suggested it's a turgid mix of unflavoured beef suet is clearly wrong.

justcola posted:Thank you everybody for the advice! This is the one but I was thinking of other stuff too, I'll shoot him some stuff over, cheers. The Watchdog by Lowkey - young British/Iraqi hip-hop artist for all the ITT - is one I've been listening to for a bit recently. The production values are a bit all over the place at times and it doesn't have a regular release schedule, but they're shorter than your average podcast and cover a lot of subjects about the British establishment's connections with general far-right international movements.

TACD posted:This is good though, isn't it? Like how everybody understands it's impolite to say _the_ Ukraine now, I thought we were all trying to move towards pronouncing foreign countries / regions according to the preferences of people that live there? The Ukraine came about because Ukraïna translated as "borderland" so the definite article was applied similar to Nederlanden translating as "lowlands" so in English it's the Netherlands. But yeah, preferences of the people who live there should be respected. On that note and closer to home, can the British media stop using "the Republic", "the Republic of Ireland" or "the ROI" when referring to their closest neighbour? The country is called Ireland. That's its name. You'll never see it referred to as anything else on any official Irish documentation (except Éire).

The American company I work for did a charity drive where they ordered a bunch of similar boxes and shipped one out to everyone who volunteered. They paid about $40 per box for what was a pack of crayons, a little notebook and some other tat that would barely have come to $5. This was during lockdown so they had to ship them out to people's home addresses from California to Ireland, so that people could write a "life ain't so bad" nothing to some anonymous American kids with mental health issues, and then ship them all back to California.
