  • Well, I don’t see a problem with Adult Nuggies…

    But, oh, there’s a lot of variability in parmi’s and even in just a chicken schnitzel.

    Some ‘chicken’ schnitzels aren’t pure chicken. They’re some sort of mashed up beaks and feet with filler in breadcrumbs. Some are real chicken, but unidentifiable parts of a chicken. Some are real chicken breast, and even fewer are chicken thighs.

    Then you get the cooking bit. And it’s so often overcooked. Dry, tough. Maybe they want to make you buy another beer to try and wash it down.

    I’m not even gonna start on the parmi side… It’s not tomato sauce ffs, and your cheese and/or ham does matter. Most places going parmi makes a schnitzel worse instead of better.

    There’s two places I know that do it well, and no, I’m not telling you where, because I’m not gonna show up to the place and be told they’ve sold out of my Adult Nuggies. No1 doesn’t share his food.










  • It’s insanity. Rechargeable batteries were the default. You could switch out for a better battery. The whole vape scene looked to be a big win for decreasing smoking and reducing costs.

    Then big tobacco and the government got involved.

    It’s literally buying rechargeable batteries and throwing them away after the first use. (Yes, I have also yelled at someone when they did that with some AA Eneloops 🙄).

    As an aside, I don’t smoke or vape, but had an interest in batteries, and some of the info that would come from some of the vape sites was fantastic.


  • It staggers me that in reality so much of the operation of various countries democracies have relied upon good people acting in good faith.

    Was Scomo making himself anything less than a king by secretly appointing himself as the minister in charge for every key portfolio? Roll out martial law, and congratulations, you have a new dictator. Surely, he could have done it with the panic around covid.

    I always thought that looking back through history, with the lessons from ancient Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire and even the rise of Stalin, Hitler etc we would be aware of what to look for and wouldn’t fall for the same thing over and over.

    But it still seems to be so incredibly easy to achieve. It doesn’t seem to matter how ‘democratic’ you are, or how democratic you think your society is.

    I am disappoint…





  • I love ice cream, and a 1l or 2l tub is lucky to make it past 2 days.

    But I struggled with my last tub. It’s the first time I can remember that I went ‘Nah, I don’t want any. It’ll be too cold and just unpleasant’. I could only bring myself to eat it at lunchtime.

    And now I’ve actually stood in front of the fridge at the supermarket and gone ‘Brrrr, no I’m not buying that. It’ll be cold’.

    Somebody help me. I’m now literally softer than ice cream sitting in the sun on a summer’s day 😢
