It says she was in danger of deep vein thrombosis from them.

No your a Kent etc and so on

I have also fruitlessly tried Greggs in Tunbridge Wells and London Bridge in recent weeks tho...

This country is just a fucking embarrassment by now:

I've just been to Gregg's for the 7th or 8th time this year, and have yet to see a single fucking mince pie. I don't believe they actually sell them any more.

All I've had this year has been a box of the Tesco Plant Kitchen ones, and you might as well not bother.

It will not end well, but it should end mercifully quickly.

Called it.

Oh, is that his major malfunction? He was leading me to believe it was 'excessive politeness'.

It will not end well, but it should end mercifully quickly.

my haircuts now cost about 70p a day when they were free (DIY or friends/family) until a few years ago.

That'll teach you to alienate all your friends and family.

My sense of smell never came back properly after getting Cov in the early days of 2020. It's probably about 25% of what was normal before, but there aren't too many occasions when it has a negative impact, and there are positives, like not being bothered by the dog farting. Of all the senses you could lose, it's the one you'd choose.

When straight from the oven/microwave/air fryer, in a bowl with some oat milk is great.

so she shits herself when she lifts the lid.

Which is why she's there in the first place, no?

Please nobody change the spelling in this thread title.

City of London will be distraught to hear that British criminal gangs are going all the way to Russia to launder money when they're based right here...

SK still under martial law, the army saying they’ll uphold it, only now the Pres’s own party is begging him to end it.

Yeh yeh, all very important, but the BBC have just cancelled Xmas Masterchef!!!111!!

Of course they are, but if he'd put it into a more packed news cycle with more discussion points attached to it, he's at least got a measure of mitigation and there are other things to talk about. He's made it the only show in town this week. It was never going to look good, but it didn't have to be this bad.

Understand that he wants to prevent his son from revenge, and why he thinks Trump will keep coming for him. But, if he had done this differently e.g. bundled it in with pardoning of federal Death Row prisoners or some others serving egregious sentences, it could have resulted in so much less focus on Bad Hunter/Crooked Joe and made it part of a wider debate on sentencing. He's managed this exceptionally poorly, and made it really easy for the Reps to weaponise.

Been very happy since discovering you can whack them (and maybe some other veg) in the air fryer on roast for 10 minutes, blitz them with some walnuts and stock, and you have an amazing soup for pretty much no work.

It's the easiest of the broadsheets - their old business model was to reel in the upwardly-mobile who felt they should be graduating to a broadsheet with an easy crossword, extensive sports section and reliably comfortable right-wing opinion pieces.

is minute cryptic easier than other cryptic puzzles?

Yeah, mostly. There are other easy cryptics out there (I think Metro used to have a daily one that was pretty simple), but most of the broadsheet ones are more challenging. Minute cryptic is a good one to show beginners the ropes.

Giles Coren had his moments too, I suppose. I enjoyed the thing he did with Sue Perkins where they went through history, one eating as a rich person did, the other as a poor person. That aside, his general odiousness is pretty pervasive.

I was treated to a very nice lunch by a client last week and the halved sprouts served with the pigeon breasts were so good

The only out Tory 'comedian' in the country other than Jim Davidson, which means that, despite being about as funny as child cancer, the BBC have to have him on every single radio and panel show to keep the Daily Mail happy.

Geoff fucking Norcott tho?

It’s notable that Biden has done this for his son, but nothing for those on federal death row, for whom Trump has pledged a slaughter fest.
