Shitty soup

You should take that up with Mr al Fayed.

There's too much ham per hamper.

also freezing. and transport frozen. then defrost.
or work from home. no need to transport then.

Salad doesn't freeze so well...
The working from home is a good idea, but I don't think my boss will buy it. "Can I please do my lab work at home?" doesn't work unless you've got a lab at home.

salad tends not to spill out of boxes that are sealed properly.
it is possible to do pcr experiments at home.
it just requires a number of water baths.

Ohhh errrr, a nerd! I only have one bath at home... and no real time machine for quantifying flurochromes. The boss won't buy the 'I need to work from home cause I can't transport my lunch without disaster striking excuse'.

Since you now have form, and seem to learn slowly from your mistakes, have you considered just buying your lunch at work? It seems like the safest option for you.

I suggest large three course lunches and dinners in swanky restaurants all on expenses. That way you can all become as fat as me and I might have a chance in some races.

I thought you just had "big bones" Clive.

and a swollen left buttock

as well as a hugely grazed right buttock

Is it full of soup?

do you have a hob? with 4 rings? 4 pans?
that's a functioning pcr machine right there.

as for RT-PCR, that might prove tricky.

Is it full of soup?

No, lymph. A 9 cm sac of lymphatic juices. Saw it on the small screen in colour. Sadly didn't get a dvd. Not sure if it's a boy or a girl.

It would be vegan, but unethical, so no. Veganism isn't the answer to all ethical problems.

I clicked on this thread hoping for three pages of soup puns. Very disouppointing.

Yes.

Oliver has a particularly rigid view of ethics ;^)

Quite genuine question- why would it be unethical?

Clive would be providing a nutritious Lymph soup of his own free will.

Oliver could tuck his napkin into his shirt and get busy with his soup spoon secure in the knowledge that the donor of said soup was happy to be free of it.

Demonstrate to me that my view of ethics is rigid by citing the moral imperative that could possibly be invoked to justify such an action.

There are moral imperatives against, which I could cite, but it would take too long to run through their justification on here.

You don't allow for neutrality

Moral imperative- it is shameful to waste that which could be used for the betterment of others

In this case the contents of Clive's Lymph filled buttock could be digested by yourself, which would arguably be better than it being incinerated at Clive's local Bupa.

You don't allow for neutrality

I do, with plenty of things--for instance, it would be morally neutral if I got up for five seconds and sat down again. I did mention that there are imperatives against the lymph example, so it's not neutral.

Now you'd have to demonstrate in which way exactly lymph liquid would contribute to 'the betterment of others'.

Yes, but why?

(I'm assuming you're being serious more on heuristic grounds than anything else. ;) )

If I reject your moral imperatives against, I don't need to find moral imperatives for, I just need to be happy that it's ethically neutral.....like your standing up/sitting down example, which needs context Ollie, in order to be convincing ;^)

Save the planet Oliver- you eating Clive's Lymph soup rather than something produced from farming means that you have, in a small way reduced your footprint on the world.

I'm shocked that you fail to see that by your own lights you are practically compelled to attend Clive's buttock draining with a portable gas burner, pan and spoon.

Yes, but why?

Because when I saw you in your lycra on Friday, you looked like you needed feeding up.
