Eh, teeth are very important and them getting messed up can contribute to an earlier death or at the very least other health problems and a significantly lower quality of life. I wouldn't call it "first world problems" in the online sense of "whining about small issues", at least.

"In A Muslim & A Jew Go There, David Baddiel and Sayeeda Warsi navigate the tricky topics that can separate Jewish and Muslim communities in Britain. They tackle everything from politics to cultural misunderstandings or discrimination in a serious but fun way. Their open discussions are here to build bridges, help you see things from different viewpoints and take a daring step towards open dialogue in a world where discussions are often one-sided. It’s an informative and thought-provoking experience for anyone looking to grasp interfaith relations today."

First episode is about from the river to the sea

I read some of the comments :negative:

Funniest one was the allegedly Irish guy confidently stating that there are no fish and chip shops in England any more because they'd all been great replacemented by foreign takeaways.

I live about 100 yards from a Seafish Industry Authority certified chippy. Fairly sure I can get fish and chips from there. Might do so this evening. What a oval office.

Was great going to a place where you got a nearly table-sized naan with a friend who hadn't seen one before. The staff started moving plates and glasses to the edge of the table to make space before bringing it over, and he thought they were just doing a bit as a joke until he saw the size of what they were bringing.

A couple of times my dog has found something especially delicious while on a walk, and eaten it so fast she's choked and almost passed out. Just falls right over.

So that's you with naan? Guessing it's harder to turn you upside down and shake the food out.

Oh lord, a balti and what looks like a table naan, I haven't had that since I was a teenager. I'm hungry now. :smith:

(Actually I think they were even bigger naans than that, the idea is you share one of them with everyone at the table hence the name)

Me with most bread honestly. Most starch actually. Bread, spuds, rice, pasta, love all of it.

I was gutted when they closed the bakery in asda cos I used to get a bloomer fresh out of the oven on a morning and just eat it until I couldn't breathe any more. Could get most of the way through an 800g one, or finish a french stick easily.

See if anywhere near you does Leicester Bakery. I'm fortunate that they started by reaching out to all the small shops in the area, so I can walk somewhere that's like "milk brand I don't recognize, vaguely threatening pies, and yet the most delicious flatbreads made to traditional Indian methods."

Not quite that size, but easily three times the size of the "no mum this is real Indian food" supermarket naans.

Iceland apparently do, not sure if it's nationwide but will have a skeg.

I like to get the onion bhajis when the farmer's market is on too. Maybe a samosa if i'm feeling adventurous, but unfortunately they don't do naans.

There is the continental stall that does the extremely threatening Finnish black bread that I didn't really get away with, it's almost like parkin but with no ginger, just a sort of bitter molasses flavour.

Omg Rishi, stop messing around and get on with running the country!

quote:

Downing Street has condemned a London theatre’s decision to stage two performances of a play about slavery for “all-black-identifying audiences”.

Rishi Sunak’s official spokesperson said it was “concerning” that the Noël Coward theatre in the West End plans to hold what it dubs “Black Out performances” during a two-month run of Slave Play, a Broadway production about race and sexuality.


This is like me pissing round tidying up the cutlery drawer when there's some urgent and important task that I'm supposed to be getting on with instead.

He's one of those people whose political opinions are all over the place because he's a big grifter and also fairly crackers.

He has historically made some critiques that would not be out of place on the far left but I don't think he has a coherent political ideology as I or most people would understand it.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
