Twinings also stopped doing just Camomile Tea (at least, at Morrisons) and instead is all different flavours so I've had to try their stupid "unwind/relax/time out whatever" mixed box so I could figure out which one was tolerable. The spiced apple w/ camomile wasn't too bad but still, it's frustrating STOP CHANGING THINGS

Growing up with an alcoholic mother who would drink anything in the house if it wasn't hidden or nailed down (including some gifts to me from special people that I was keeping) meant that I actively looked forward to getting my own place so I could have a booze trolley for the occasional cocktail evening or dinner party or whatever because I like having a nice bottle or two of gin, rum, tequila, whisky etc to savour on occasion.


Feel this one man. Only problem was that when I did finally have my own place (as a result of my Dad dying of his alcoholism lol whoops) I had also become an alcoholic and my drinks cabinet was always empty.

I wasn't a big drinker at home tbf but if I knew there was a bottle of wine or some spirits in there then I'd be smashing my way through them as pre-drinks before going on a bender at my local or in town. It really sucked.

Overcoming my lovely relationship with alcohol has been amazing. :toot: me and djf have TWO drinks cabinets all full of different drinks and mixers and it's so nice to be able to just have a nice glass of whisky or a cocktail on the weekend.

Depends on where you get it from. I've never had a Baby Guinness with black sambuca in it, that sounds gross! :whitewater:

Locals round here just make it with Tia Maria and Baileys.

That's what I was going for tbh. It's not broken, it's just twisted. She wants me to go A+E tomorrow and I'm "that person" who never goes to the GP unless it's hanging off and turning green..

So that's going to be an argument tomorrow. I really don't wanna be dragged to A+E for 8 hours.

Don't you guys have a minor injuries unit around or something? That's usually where I go for injuries that aren't life threatening.

I've got to come down to Bristol in August and it's £105 for a return and I'm loving fuming. Like there's literally no justification for that kind of price lol

legit just checked flights from Liverpool to Bristol but that requires going up to Belfast to change lol. Still kind of tempting as it'll be better than the train change over at Birmingham New Street.

Nam Taf posted:

For August, you may well be checking too early. Anytime and off-peak tickets go on sale before advance fares. The Man touches on this. Also consider split tickets, they may save you some money for a slightly different (or sometimes not) route. Perhaps having a poke around a closer date on equivalent days will give you an idea if advance fares might save you?

That said, I still completely agree the rail prices are are beyond the pale.

I used to be a proponent of state-owned infrastructure serviced by competing providers (same as with ISPs, electricity, etc.) but I've come around to thinking that it may not work with rail and so far as I can divine, the difference is that the operators are competing over what amounts to a very lumpy and discrete schedule of capacity. 5 operators can't run the same train at the same time to compete, nor can they run just 5- or 10-seat trains in off-peak times to then use the rest during peak times. In the discrete to continuum spectrum, rail is way more lumpy in supply than data or electricity and so the whole concept of dynamic pricing provided by multiple competing operators is hamstrung.

e: clearly the solution is for the state to run the trains and the operators to compete on selling individual seats aboard those trains

Had a look at trains for next week and next month and they're all still £100+. I'm not gonna order the August tickets yet anyway, gotta save up some money that I was originally saving for driving lessons lol.

Oh well, it's gonna be worth it. I'm off to ArcTanGent!

Anyway, I was feeling too ill to contribute to spoon chat.
As a big ol' sperg I am very fussy about my spoons and I will get proper upset if I'm using the wrong one.
Big spoon for savoury dishes, like I'll sometimes use a spoon for stodgy food like corned beef hash or some curries.
Big Spoon is also used for cereal.
Little spoon for all desserts unless it's a dry cake in which I'd prefer a cake fork but I don't actually own one BOOO, so I settle for little spoon.
Soup Spoon for Soup.
