you know that's just the title of the feature don't you? the article isn't really about how to eat a hot cross bun. it's just a piece about hot cross buns.

Yeah, I know. They're still wankers.

Apparently the author of the Cybotron gig review gave it five stars. The published article gave it a 3 and the person who changed it didn't even go to the gig.

Even by the standards of this thread, this sycophancy must take some beating.

The new Change UK party gathers some of the bravest, most independent-minded national parliamentarians in Britain (currently sitting as the Independent Group, aka Tiggers), and will probably field some of the most interesting candidates for the European parliament.

Interesting in the sense I don't like this food but don't want to be rude
Bravest in the sense that's a bold decision, meaning foolish and obstinate
Most independent minded = ornery

Andddd...finally they’ve changed it. After two hours.

How have you/The Graun managed to render fonts in such a mid-90s lo-fi style?

How have you/The Graun managed to render fonts in such a mid-90s lo-fi style?

The clipping tool on my work computer I guess?

Computer figured wasn't worth the resolution.

Sri Lanka attacker studied in UK, says minister, amid warning more bombers on loose

Story about Sri Lanka bomber being schooled in U.K. Halfway down is a video of Lyra McKee about to be shot in Derry. Maybe the gunman was also schooled in the U.K and that’s the connection.

(And changed now. “Oh you wanted a terrorist video, you didn’t say which one”)

Still trying to make talentless reprobate Pete Doherty happen.

Blind date: ‘We talked about the sexiest member of the Tory front bench’

Also, on the walk to the tube he started talking about performing CPR rectally

 

[Indeliblelink]

performing CPR rectally

Out of medical interest I Googled it and found this -
Tobacco smoke enema - Wikipedia

A tobacco smoke enema, an insufflation of tobacco smoke into the rectum, i.e. as anenema, was employed by the indigenous peoples of North America to stimulate respiration, injecting the smoke with a rectal tube.[1][2][3][4]

Later, Europeans emulated the Americans.[5] Tobacco resuscitation kits consisting of a pair of bellows and a tube were provided by the Royal Humane Society of London and placed at various points along the Thames.

Blind date: ‘We talked about the sexiest member of the Tory front bench’

That deserves some respect for managing to be the most tedious thing I’ve ever read.

Not the thread for it but yesterday the Indy published a piece about the racism of the centre wrt TIG etc. Spiked it same day.

Blind date: ‘We talked about the sexiest member of the Tory front bench’

Would you introduce him to your friends?
I think they’d scare him off.

Why do so many people in the column say this? Has anyone here ever been ‘scared off’ by a date's friends? As opposed to, say, just thinking that they're arseholes, perhaps, or not really having any strong opinions because you don't really know them?

how old must he be?!

In August 1767 a few wealthy and civic-minded citizens in Amsterdam gathered to form the Society for Recovery of Drowned Persons.[2] This society was the first organized effort to respond to sudden death.[citation needed]

The society's techniques involved a range of methods to stimulate the body. The members of the society recommended:[3]
6. 'stimulating' the victim by such means as rectal and oral fumigation with tobacco smoke; bellows were used to drive tobacco smoke, a known irritant, into the intestine through the anus, as this was thought to be enough of a stimulant to engender a response in the "almost" dead

Their friends are horrid tingey wankers.

'‘We built an eco-house for £10,000 and grow our own food'
