In the news

I think we're tending towards a consensus view here. The unfortunate position that Scotland's civil servants find themselves in.

The boffins are having another go at telling everyone that the nitrites in bacon and other processed meats are causing cancer. Especially bowel cancer https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/dec/27/too-much-nitrite-cured-meat-brings-clear-risk-of-cancer-say-scientists

This is old news, but the public and the food industry and supermarkets and governments have done little about it. There's delicious nitrite-free bacon and ham etc. in the shops, but you really have to hunt for it. 99.99% of what's on the shelves has nitrites in it but it's in the tiniest font on the packaging.

Nitrite-free bacon in the UK is mostly made by Finnebrogue of Northern Ireland. You can get it in most supermarkets, but only in branches with a middle class demographic. In other words, Clapham, but not Brixton.

Edit: Parma ham never has nitrites in it. "Parma Ham" is a legally protected term, so it has to be made in the authentic Parma way. Often it's the only nitrite-free processed meat stocked in the small, local supermarkets. Lidl Parma ham tastes awesome, much better thna M&S or Tesco or Sainsburys. Much cheaper as well.

It's all shit.

Andrew Tate arrested in Romania.
Charges of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.

I'm happy to say I had no idea who he even was until this morning. A quick read about him suggests he is a collosal cunt, is that right?

That is his raison d'être. Oui.

The best bit is that he may well have doxxed himself.

Certainly looks like he revealed where he was in his response to being owned by GT, at which point the Romanian babbers nabbed him.

The icing on the cake:

The arrest was possibly coordinated with / by GRETA

Feels fishy to me to have those pizza boxes so prominent. Dunno what the angle is but someone who was hiding their location wouldn’t be so careless.

The guy is obviously thick as shit and has an ego in direct opposition to the energy of his dick size, just a careless cunt.

You can get it in most supermarkets, but only in branches with a middle class demographic. In other words, Clapham, but not Brixton.

I see you haven't been to Brixton for 15 years

I was in Brixton last night, walked down Electric Avenue onto Atlantic Avenue, then down Railton Road, that’s gentrification captured in a 10 minute stroll. Little Ochie is still worth a visit, fabulous.

Lots of different types of intelligence of course but am I imagining that Tate was a precocious chest talent when he was 7 or 8 years old? I know his Dad was a fairly notable player.

precocious chest talent

Still a massive tit to this day...

It's one of the claims he makes but don't think anyone has managed to verify it. Like you say his dad was an international master and Tate's chess ranking is very strong club player but sub pro, still talking upper decile of all players so not to shabby

Various newspaper articles from the 90s mention it.

There was also a short documebtary feature about him and his family in the early/mid 90s.

Shame being good at chess doesn’t prevent you being an abject failure as a human being.

You’d think he wouldn’t be thick as two short planks though if that’s the case.

In a plot twist worthy of a really low budget Netflix crime movie, the suspect arrested for murder of four students in Idaho in November is a graduate student in Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University

Does he fail his course for getting caught?
