A slider is an ice cream wafer...

My Mum, originally from Aberdeen, used that one, though I don't think I've ever heard anyone else use it.

They do loads of these digests of other people’s recipes. None of them by cookery writers. They don’t even test them themselves. They’ve just searched through the archives.

 

[billy_bob]

They presumably have writers who actually celebrate Diwali, though. Maybe they were too busy actually celebrating it, or preparing to, to be bothered taking on a half-arsed piece like this. But no job's too banal for Stuart Heritage...

article on the website about black and asian soldiers in the second world war, about how many war heroes have had their stories uncovered

there was this paragraph

i thought even the guardian - EVEN THE GUARDIAN! - would know the queen had a coronation and didn't stand on a windy platorm and swear to uphold the british constitution

and that bit about fazal karim coming out with communist ideologies just sounds weird

Inauguration because they took the auspices for the new emperor I presume, coronation and the family's taken the horse piss for decades instead.
I love to shoehorn in that terrible pun on the rare occasions it has even slight relevance.
