Yeah but if you get facebook guilt at basically not reading much of anything and so feeling like you ignore everyone and then move on to twitter where you now follow a bazillion people so don't keep up with that either, Instagram is a safe place.
Also if I check twitter and as it's all words I follow links and then have a bazillion tabs open on my phone which pretty much stops my phone functioning...
So. Instagram currently is where I look at pretty things (I do cross post pictures to twitter - but you can like stuff on Instagram which I like.... Er). I'll move on to something else like tumblr soon. I'm so current

Yeah. I liked him but he was a bit out of his depth there. The scraps test is one of my favourite bits.That was so tragic for him..
They all kind of bollocksed up the critic meal. But I like Marcus. Like Michel did, he takes a shine to chefs with talent who really care.

All these garnishes. All that effort for something you just push aside.
Fussy presentation can get to fuck.
How were you supposed to eat that stupid custard cream biscuit with raspberries? I'd have to pick it up with both hands and shove it in my gob.

Who is pushing aside the garnish?
You eat the pudding with a spoon / fork; there are quite a lot of puddings you need cutlery to eat with, it's not overwhelmingly wanky.

I would eat the garnish if I was paying for it.

That looked impossible to eat with cutlery

A spoon and fork together would do it.

If you are a dainty eater. I would end up with cream all squeezed out the side and two empty biscuits. No dish should require skill to eat.

The lads on the show keep saying that they 'smashed' it when they do a dish well. Rape culture is all pervasive, it seems. 'Nailed it' is another one. Yeuch.

I think 'nail it' has a more historical meaning than just sex. Originally it meant 'done the deal'....
All over the world there used to be posts in the market square or whatever where people doing a deal would drive a nail into the post to mark an agreed deal ('clinch', for example, is another word for nail).

It's what 'the lads' talk about when they talk about sexual conquests: smashed it, smashed the granny out of it, destroyed her. Porn has similar violent titles. And it's escaped from there to be used on cookery programmes. Ugly as fuck.
Orang Utan

Sure, but it's also associated with fucking

Has it? Or has the phrase moved the other way, to be incorporated by 'lads' to talk about sex? I had never heard of it used to talk about sexual conquests before your post, but I've heard it before in the context of getting something dead right. And 'nailed it' is pretty old as an expression to mean getting something dead right. I've used it plenty of times.

Yes, i think so. Urbandictionary et al have a lot to answer for
I've used nailed it before too.

You may be right. I'm not convinced, though. Just as likely that the lad culture nicked it for its new use from people using it like these chefs.
Orang Utan

Whatever. It's all a bit unseemly for a cookery programme.

I agree with that. You would never hear that sort of thing on 'Great British Bake-off'.
Yeah I'm going to nail it, give it 110%, get really focussed.....

'I just like cooking' would be more sincere.

these are professional chefs we're talking about - i don't figure any of those generally get much of a look in...

Some good stuff tonight. Nice bit of aggro between Kris and Marcus too... that's going to be a meeting of minds.
At the end when Kris was going 'ahem blah....I don't care really...' my partner shouted at the TV:
'THEN WHY ARE YOU ON F**KING MASTERCHEF?!'

I just thought it was great that someone argued with the judges. I argued with older people ('old farts') when I was young, too.
