leave campaign was simple- vote to leave. there were a few factions within (and almost all of them were racist as gently caress) but the mechanism was the same, point out problems with the eu both extant and imaginary that have been tabloid tropes for decades- they had a motivated core voting base before the campaign even opened

remain campaign was running around largely trying to debunk the other side while making out that the eu was great actually, but the group of tryhards was tiny compared with leave's- they never gained the initiative and they never really tried to appeal to those who weren't too keen on the eu but also were wary of leave- even being seven, seven and a half out of ten wasn't enough for them

Oh man got home from a weekend away to find a letter from a debt collection agency, relating to a plumbing firm I used (and fully paid) in May 2021. Just spent the last hour digging through my old bank statements to find the proof, which was a nice bit of stressful fun.

I'm absolutely certain I don't owe this company money, but I don't even want to enter their lovely ecosystem and talk to anyone in case they somehow use that as proof that I am somehow liable for the nearly £450 they say i owe.

Happy fathers day to me!

seconding speak to a financial advisor and don't respond to the firm until you do, there are proper ways to respond- debt collectors are among the scum of the earth, be wary


I mean personally when bt tried to gently caress me over for unpaid services that they didn't provide I just kept laughing at how many letters were sent out by however many different debt collection places it got passed to over the years and it never affected me one bit but that's not solid advice I just like telling that story

okay here's the platonic perfect mediocre egg sandwich, because I haven't got garlic chilli chutney in at the moment



bastard kids ate the good eggs but these are fine, note the shitey white bread must be at least a day old or it will fail structurally, also you need spread and I used clover



fry em on extra low (you need oil too I guess) until nearly cooked through, then add pepper and flip em just long enough to divide them for easy arrangement




they go face down on the spread bread, so you can stab holes in the backs of the yolk for soy sauce- just a drop in each to bring out the flavour, and some salt too



and thus elevenses were had, I would say back to the madness but I'm gonna gently caress it off, get high and watch trek instead

If you drizzle soy sauce into the pan with the eggs it caramelizes and is absolutely heavenly. Then pour everything onto the bread.

White bread smdh

this isn't about nice bread, it's about hitting expectations- I could have baked my own fresh bread and have it taste great but it wouldn't be an egg sandwich on shitey white much like kebab shop chips in pita arent fine cut french fries with truffle oil from a posh restaurant


OwlFancier posted:

My main objection is the yolks, what's even the point in an egg sandwich if you don't cover yourself in runny yolk when eating it?

no objections to yolks and I indeed did get messy eating them but not covered I mean that's probably gonna require quite the quantity of yolks tbh

I do genuinely worry about someone slashing the tires because they think we don’t need a car that big.

aye I have a big car but use it/need it for carrying farm stuff and my wife/kids and I sometimes think about when I had to rush my youngest into a+e with anaphylaxis and how hosed I could be if I came to slashed tyres in a time of need

they haven't needed to, really

they have spent time carefully constructing new enemies, and should the need arise the press can whip up a nice distracting furore from the background medley and perhaps a just stop oil protester will get killed rather than just assaulted or another asylum centre will get firebombed but by someone halfway competent this time

Sadly it's a bit too big to crush beneath your tires which is the only possible reason I can think of to drive a 4x4 in a city

even if there weren't a bunch of rail strikes that would make it difficult up the workers, I need to help a friend move some poo poo around and don't feel like hiring a van that would probably pollute more

if the charging network locally to me wasn't absolutely poo poo and/or I could safely charge at home, I would have broken the bank and gone electric instead

my previous petrol car was the same approximate street dimensions, weight, drivetrain and arguably worse pollution output but didn't get nearly the same derision as a "diesel 4x4" does
