Luckily the driver behind 3 wasn’t dumb and left a big gap. After what seemed like an eternity 1 understood what to do and managed to go around 3 driving over the kerb.

Google slide was the one I had handy while on my sofa, but in principle you’re right as it’s a copy anyway.

I was aware that mayonnaise energy density is pretty high, but damn.

The number of arsehole men is too damn high. Whenever I see or hear these stories my blood boils.

Master Handbook of Acoustics is your friend if you want to learn what to do to your room. Overkill for most, admittedly, but it contains everything you need to know.

What goes on in lemmy.ml should in my view not be a concern for feddit.uk as a community, unless they start somehow substantially interfering with this instance in a concerted and prolonged way. A few individuals here and there commenting and being the twats they are does not count.

Feddit.uk members can already disengage from communities and instances they don’t like or are offended by, and create new communities where they see a need. For me these are sufficient remedies for all but very exceptional circumstances. I understand that it may be hard to get a new community going, but them are the breaks (to quote a twat I despise with a passion).

Personally I find a level of perverse entertainment in reading some of the tankie discussion, in a similar way I found Trump being the US President and Boris being the UK Prime Minister having definite entertainment value. Macabre, perhaps, but we all have our kinks.

Naively I was hoping for something a bit more civilised. All I got was a notch up in blood pressure.

Just to be clear, I did not want to make any points about politics, just rant about the quality of the debate of the people who want to lead.

Neighbouring town has a street called Pig Lane. Where the police station is. Perfection.

Never ever let facts get in the way of a good story!

The wait was too long so it became Thursday BBQ instead. In my defence the weather was really nice this evening where we are. Chicken thighs and halloumi pepper skewers with a Mediterranean potato salad and a salad of various greens from the fridge.

Unless there are multiple fucks in play, in which case it is “for fucks’ sake”

Fresh out of the oven. My wife is a wizard in baking. For me its all just black magic. I’m not complaining, though!

If fresh chilli is part of your recipe, you really, and I mean really, want to go to the loo first and only then chop your chilli. After washing your hands thoroughly, of course. The other order is a bad idea. This advice applies definitely to males. I cannot comment whether the female experience is similar.

This is a try run with the new barrel bbq. As cheap as they come. Two types of kebab are in the fridge getting ready for tomorrow.

What’s the worst roast by a child you’ve suffered?

Long time ago my nephew asked what I did for work. After graduating from university I had a rather good job in a tech company. As I explained what I did his eyes glazed over in 10 seconds flat. After a while he interrupted: “So you didn’t like school, did you.”

Ryanair (feddit.uk)

During the last two weeks I needed to fly Ryanair twice for work. It was a good reminder of many of the reasons I hate that excuse of an airline with a passion. Just as an example, their gate staff humiliated a young lady to tears in front of the queues waiting to board just because her bag didn’t quite fit their allowed cabin bag dimension.
