Nothing wrong with a grill. But it does use about 10 times the power to toast a slice of bread. You don't happen to be a Warburtons product designer do you?

Obviously it's not woke but there’s something desperately wrong with the Warburtons Toastie. Why does a loaf that trades on being perfect for toasting not fit in any standard toaster? Do they still use the grill in Lancashire?
I'm impressed by the ongoing adaptability of the word 'woke'. It's breaking out of the chains of 'arguments, attitudes and policies I disagree with but don't have the intellect to debate' and taking over the 'popular, but not to my taste' arena. Go woke!
I always find that if you just remember that anyone claiming to be part of the silent majority is in truth a member of a noisy minority you'll be able to gauge what is public opinion
To be fair, if that's the state you're in by lunchtime you probably do need to slow down a bit, for your own wellbeing. The world is full of people who regret having once believed that they thrive on stress.
Fantastic lack of self-awareness on display in his post. Tedious posturing indeed!
Careful, lads. You do realise that shining a light on the State of Israel and its supporters is antisemitic?
So you've grown from being a normal kid to an amnesic adult who lacks imagination. 8 year old you could have answered the question in a shot - or should that be snot?
May I respectfully request that, in order to maintain your green credentials, you desist from publishing boosterism for AI?
Follow the money. They've 'partnered' with OpenAI.
Evaluation is not speculation. And as a journalist it's your job to evaluate, rather than parrot. Go on, give it a try. Is it remotely possible that his justification is true?
If true, still doesn't excuse anyone else.
My phogna pogna eats bologna
I thought his specialty was the turkey trot?
How the fuck can this be labelled 'Analysis'
Now I know where the 's' from 'maths' went missing.
No inconsistency. If you're being held against your will and your captor tells you to jump, should you comply?
Poutine muncher say wut?
Why?
To be fair, they might have had a clue what they were doing and containerised the ground, installing irrigation and drainage.
@cyclinguk.bsky.social I've been a CTC/Cycling UK member for 40 years. Yet you still spam me on a very regular basis with exhortation to join up and enjoy the benefits. Which is bloody irritating. Needless to say the benefits don't include any age related or long service discounts.
The implication of Adams' words is that the probability of hitting something tends to 1. A certainty. And gravity will force that outcome (relatively) quickly.
Fair enough. But any event that wiped out humanity and all its traces would exinguish life on earth, not just human life. (Apologies for being stuck in pedantry mode today)
Whether those things would be more durable than all the artifacts left on earth is open to discussion: one asteroid strike could smash the plaque and the spacecraft will eventually hit something.
Super typo!
And the site's accident records...
With respect, he didn't 'buy" time, if the only price exacted was was some effortless and worthless flattery to Trump. And Trump totally bought that. For an assessment u certain price. Let's hope it's his downfall and not the Ukraine's.
Well, it was the default position in my day. Because how else could you be left behind, clinging to the pole?)
Standard Orwellian Doublethink on Philp's part. There's a lot of it about. (I do enjoy contemplating what Charles Dickens would have done with a character called Philp. Definitely a villain)
The Bandest. Yes Indeed. But when The Skids become the Drifters and The Who become Them, things get confusing.
The Bandest
Category error here. You've mistaken Reform Ltd for a political party. And people vote for it, but don't actively support it because its policies don't stand still long enough, and depend upon who is speaking, and to whom. And 'take back control' and 'stop the boats' are not, on their own, policies.
My apologies. It was neuter in Old English.
Wants to restore our colonial power...
If you're in North Essex you should be supporting the U's 😉
My father came from the Krays' neck of the woods (but not close enough to have to deal with them) and he always corrected the false nostalgia: their alleged local philanthropy was a protection racket, quieting potential grasses, but nobody was ever safe if they got in their way, even accidentally.
Although the word arrived here from the Germanic languages, which vary in gender assignation. In German, it's neuter.
Not suggesting, of course, that feminine coal has any historical origin.
Our unwritten rules as to which inanimate objects should be considered male or female aren't lazy sexism, but a memory of how they were assigned when English still had gender inflections. In France, literally every thing is either masculine or feminine, and Germany adds neuter, but not logically.
In boats rowed by ex-marines.
Predictable.
Incredible.
Yeah, cause the circling fucking helicopters are absolutely silent.
'Retired Essex' says it all.
If the amateur CP club went pro, then it's nitpicking to say that today's side didn't exist before that date. If the same rule were applied to Rugby Union, none of today's teams is more than 30 years old.
No, but it's just possible some nutter in comms has persuaded them that saying things that they'll not deliver might win them support like it did for Nige. Starmer needs to realise that the Labour base is into policy, beliefs and honesty, not optics. And so are the vast majority of the electorate.
*no, your recall is accurate. 'HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC', they said, despite all evidence to the contrary.
This isn't news in the rest of the USA, let alone in the UK. You paying your NY correspondent by the word?
If the gold standard for restaurants is that they should cater to the common denominator then that's ketchup on all tables.
This is making me weep.. I'm feeling a bit blubbery... ...with four b's 😭😂
Runs on a Sinclair Spectrum...
I get it. The future belongs to the small minority who profit from pyramid schemes.
Not to the point, but honestly: any professional journalist who can write 'taxidermied' should really get stuffed.
It's indeed worrying to see support for Hamas rising. Might be worth considering what might be causing this.
Keep digging, digger.
Did you know? Supermassive black holes give out no light yet are the brightest objects in the universe. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my paperback A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen at random from those re-posting this blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro... @headofzeus.bsky.social
So a confirmed yes. Doesn't make me happy at all. Nauseates me.
So that's a yes.
So let's be absolutely clear about this. You support indiscriminate killing of Gazan non-combatants including children.
If your medallion was visible over your clothing then you'd be the criminal, and due a visit from the style police.
Gotta get their eight bucks' worth..
Can never really work out how much of this ethnic Celtic/Britons ancestry thing is real or a romantic nationalistic exceptionalism blurred by over 1000 years of population mobility.
No, it's just a signal that he'd had a classical education and was prepared to misuse it. Suggesting that people whose views you despise are mentally ill just gives them an excuse to ignore you.
I think we're some decades past the point where criticising the Bond canon because it's 'a laughable premise' is relevant. How about 'It's a bit of fun' which can move with the times under new stewardship. Which has happened several times already.
Just be grateful they're not Collared Doves. A whole nuther level of monotony.
Exactly that. And with breeding pretty much over for this year, the remaining grownups won't be drawing attention to themselves.
The problem with social media in a nutshell - refuting a reasonable assessment with 'that's horseshit' without saying why. As if that settles the matter. To be honest, that's lazy horseshit.
Pushback from genocidal Netanyahu. Now there's a surprise!
It's a shame that anybody needs religious texts to determine what's right and wrong. But thanks for pointing this out to them.
They don't cut the grass around the panel arrays, so unless there's sheep in there, it will bloom. So.
Did you see the Fuller hide?
Near Thixendale?
It's a war zone? That ship sailed long ago. Killing zone, perhaps.
Nobody's ever seen him and JD Vance together... Just sayin'
It's a bit bloody odd that it hasn't been culled by the moderators. They don't allow similar petitions, wouldn't be unreasonable to weed out things outside government remit. I feel like starting a petition to make it snow every Christmas Day.
So to loop us back to the beginning, might that not justify a fair bit of Sharkey's ire?
The value of the water Co's is assets - liabilities. So given their leveraged debt burden, not much at all, if anything. Don't forget, they're over-valuing the infrastructure. Through lack of maintenance or investment, it's not worth anything like £100b plus liabilities.
And Labour are quoting that figure as a reason not to nationalisr.
The reality of the situation is that the water co's can't afford to rectify the situation because for decades they've marked their own homework, failed to plan for future needs, and given their profits away to their owners. Now, functionally bankrupt, they're valued at £100b by Labour. True value =0
iphones originally used ARM chips designed in the UK, and still license the technology from ARM. I just love Merkins who think they invented everything.
If he wasn't on Epstein's list, why was Epstein murdered?
Best of luck with your locally made iphones. Should be in full production by about 2030.
Xitter levels of whataboutery
I'm thinking you conflate local culture with ethnicity too much. You could make just as strong a case for Yorkshire and Cornwall.
These aren't ethnicities. They're cultural variations within a single ethnic group. Greeks and Turks often share a deep hatred of each other. They're genetically identical - Turks displaced the original Hellenes - and have near identical cuisines. They're separated by religion, and a lot of baggage
Say you were a long term buddy with a notorious pedophile. Someone has the receipts. A few more grandstanding tariff shenanigans will take people's minds off your past peccadillos. No-one will see through your cunning ruse. 🤣
Say you disagree with a South American politician. You place a tax on your own people to consume products from his country. That'll show him! And your people will gladly pay more to help you make your point. 🤣
Say you import a large amount of a raw ingredient from a small economy. You use that raw ingredient to make value added manufactures which make you lots of profit all over the world. They have neither the population nor wealth to reciprocate. So you put a tax on yourself to 'punish' them. 🤣
Because Trump's reasons for imposing tariffs include: a simple deficit in reciprocal trade; as a tool for regime change; as a distraction. But never yet for any sound or sane economic reason.
Sounds like Keira Knightley's rôle in Black Doves.
You are aware that at the time the Chinese elites considered themselves to be racially superior to pretty much everybody including white British foreign devils?
I'd like to put in a word for neither. They're different versions of European culture, bolstered by nationality. But no differences significant enough to distinguish on ethnic grounds.
Nowadays, fElon would retweet him.
FAFO
Need to go for the Tudor look. Balloon shorts and tights. Upstart Crow fanboy vibe
Not exactly soft rock but one of the finest 'make something your own' covers ever: youtu.be/y0zvUdOOG_w?...
I think the difference between us is that you come from a country where the railways are publicly owned, subsidised and managed for the benefit of the people, and I come from a country where they are privately owned, and subsidised and managed for the benefit of shareholders.
It's almost as if you've never been on a Ryanair flight. They're full of poor younger people who would happily go by train if it were cheaper.
No. He had an AI chimp executing intrusive ortokarekt.
