I have found myself going slightly out of my way to go to this motorway service station for petrol because of these crisps:




Has anyone else tried them? I feel like it could just be my part of the country being 10 years behind every where else.

They look like Jalapeno Wotsits from the bag? Is that basically what they are cause I could see that being alright if they are textually better than Wotsits possibly, maybe more like Nik Naks in consistency would be good.

I've not tried those specifically but I feel like I have heard about them from somewhere, whoever it was was raving about them. I really like the bags of smashed up jalapeno pretzels you can get in some places as well.

I'd describe them as "posh wotsits". Both these and the cheese ones have something about them that make them superior somehow. Definitely worth a try.

A Russian pilot tried to shoot down an RAF surveillance plane after believing he had permission to fire, the BBC has learned.

The pilot fired two missiles, the first of which missed rather than malfunctioned as claimed at the time.

Russia had claimed the incident last September was caused by a "technical malfunction".

The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) publicly accepted the Russian explanation.

But now three senior Western defence sources with knowledge of the incident have told the BBC that Russian communications intercepted by the RAF RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft give a very different account from the official version.

The RAF plane - with a crew of up to 30 - was flying a surveillance mission over the Black Sea in international airspace on 29 September last year when it encountered two Russian SU-27 fighter jets.

The intercepted communications show that one of the Russian pilots thought he had been given permission to target the British aircraft, following an ambiguous command from a Russian ground station.

However, the second Russian pilot did not. He remonstrated and swore at his wingman when he fired the first missile.

The Rivet Joint is loaded with sensors to intercept communications. The RAF crew would have been able to listen in to the incident which could have resulted in their own deaths.

The MoD will not release details of those communications.

Responding to these new revelations an MoD spokesperson said: "Our intent has always been to protect the safety of our operations, avoid unnecessary escalation and inform the public and international community."

I followed the chris kaba shooting at the time because he was in "67" which the police had already tried to stop performing (which was interesting in itself as I didn't know the police could do that). I have only just have been catching up on it.

This is referenced in the wiki article which links to the telegraph:

"But witnesses claimed the driver ignored police requests to give himself up and when he attempted to ram his way out of the roadblock, officers opened fire."

It's "witnesses" so who the hell knows? Does anyone know what the actual laws are here about a car trying to drive out of the block?

It's more that might just be going down to one income for a little while and I'd like to have some wiggle room. Also if there is any way to swap round and do gains from gym without meat I'd love to hear it!

Weirdly if I don’t eat breakfast I can go all day on nothing and just have something for tea around 6, but if I do eat breakfast I’m always left absolutely ravenous by about 10am and just want to eat constantly throughout the day.

More intelligent people (than me) could tell you why this is. I think the key it to eat something healthy first thing. Porridge oats/ banana like all the sensible people have been suggesting. Then you should be alright and not get really hungry mid morning.

I only eat in the morning if I have to exercise. If I have anything that requires any sort of brain power to do I am far better on an empty stomach.

If they spread so easily and are so difficult to remove, why are they only a problem now? What changed?

I think it's the rise of amazon delivery/food delivery. It's the perfect bed beg delivery method to your home. If one item has them they can spread to everything else in the van/depot.

I have been fighting them on and off for ages. They came to me either by second hand books or a second hand office chair. You can basically import an infestation just like that.

They are incredibly difficult and expensive to get rid of.

Although percent is now written that way, it used to be per cent, per 100. So it can indeed be abbreviated as pc.

I thought it would be more of an old timey thing. Do other broadsheets use it?
