Wifey made moules marinière ❤️ Mussels, white wine, garlic, shallot, fresh flatleaf parsley. Served with crusty tiger bread She'd never tasted moules marinière before because 'mussels remind me of part of a female's anatomy' Now she has 😉 No sailors were harmed in the making of this meal

They're just letting you know where their dark funding is coming from Even Tony Blair is getting in on the act these days, bigging up the oil industry that has ruined our planet

All super rich people are parasites. That’s how they got so rich.
Another disastrous cook-off on #CookingWithTheStars, so more great telly 😁 They were supposed to be making a vegan crêpe cake with 15 pancakes, whipped coconut milk between layers and on top, then plum compote on that Both ran out of time and managed four or five 🤭

Britain has been multicultural for the last 2000 years. That's why we have the Roman alphabet, a Middle East religion, Arabic numerals, a Syrian patron saint, an aristocracy with French ancestry and a German royal family.
Minced beef, chick peas, kecap manis, shallot, Peppadew piquant peppers, garlic, served on sesame noodles
I found the people of #Glasgow to be kind, generous and helpful when I went there Just wished I could understand what they were saying 😊
Welcome to the FO phase: Szczerek, CEO of paving company Drogbruk, was caught snatching the prized memento from young fan Brock’s hands. Szczerek’s countrymen swiftly blasted him on a Polish job search site as a “sack of garbage,” “common thief,” “primitive scammer,” and “shameful jerk.”

Thanks 😊 Have been waiting days for sunshine, then when we get there it isn't shining on the fungus 😁

After Rep Ty Burns pleaded guilty to domestic abuse, injuring his wife & assaulting his teenage daughter, it's unclear whether OK GOP & House Speaker Kyle Hilbert will take action. They even kept the case against Burns secret until Thursday, Aug. 28. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO & THIS IS WHO THEY ARE!
My main impression of her has been her strong and negative reaction to the paparazzi I saw Streisand acting but not Cher extratv.com/2010/11/15/c...

😎 There was so much brilliant music in the 70s and 80s, so it was only really when it all went shit in the late 90s that we started listening to her #music Apparently "Believe" was the album that relaunched her career 🎤
So I was checking the ingredients of the kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) that I just bought and it lists 'ammonia caramel' as ingredient We had a major emergency at one place I worked where everybody was evacuated because of a suspected ammonia leak But apparently it is used as a food colouring 😬
They really are a rogue state now, who clearly feel that they can completely ignore international law and commit war crimes with impunity

It's not true to say that the success rate is 0% There have been plenty of cases where countries have #ProportionalRepresentation, the extreme right have won the election and the other parties have banded together to keep them out of power The problem is the US/UK systems, Electoral College/FPTP
🏴 Well done to Scottish brothers Lachlan, Jamie and Ewan Maclean, on smashing the record for rowing the Pacific ! On the bbc however they’re just “brothers”, from nowhere in particular…with no image of their Saltire celebrations 🏴 Typical bbc, no mention of Scotland, unless it’s “SCOTLAND BAD”
Colour works well ❤️
🤞🙏
There's no way granddaughter would be eating 18 unless they tasted totally amazing, so it might well be a compliment to how wonderful your cooking is

Wanted to buy a #music CD as a little surprise for wifey There's a Cher CD that we had on a lot when we were travelling around France with a caravan for six months in the late 90s, so checked the Cher discography for the name of the album Apparently she's been recording albums since 1965!
😎
Took me years to speak to anyone about it People saying 'why didn't you speak up about it?' can actually make matters worse People have a habit of blaming the victims, as a lot of kids trying to report abuse to the police have discovered Only started to heal inside when I managed to discuss it

Well they know who they can thank for that, don't they, as well as the big drop in revenue from Canadian tourists visiting the US #FAFO

Anyway, I think it's quite confusing that P&O Cruises are now part of Carnival, P&O Nedlloyd are part of Maersk, while the rest of the P&O empire is still run by the crooked Sheikh Yabooty in Dubai That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it #BoycottP&OFerries
It's worth noting that the one billion pounds investment that much fanfare was made about is actually an investment in a freeport, a zone which is essentially tax free, so the government will be making sod all out of it That's why Sheikh a Legg continued with the investment #BoycottP&OFerries
Watching Bettany Hughes' excellent TV series on Nabataeans, every time the sponsor P&O Cruises came up I thought 'Oh, they're the dodgy wankers that fired all their staff and got agency workers in to replace them' Wrong! 😊 That was P&O Ferries #BoycottP&OFerries news.sky.com/story/pando-...

Cornbread was my first ever foray into baking 'bread' Supermarket pitta bread is definitely smaller than what the kebab shops use though
Reform UK’s Darren Grimes Under Investigation Over Fake AI Asylum Video of Keir Starmer
Pitta bread's very easy to tear, especially if they're a bit small for what we're trying to ram into them 😒
Doner kebabs Wholemeal pitta, fresh flatleaf parsley, doner meat, fried shallot, chilli sauce, garlic mayo Essential tremor is screwing up more of my photos recently, maybe I should do what wifey does and take about ten photos every time 😬
Lalique would be proud of it 👍
The real enemies of Scotland don't arrive by small boat; they arrive by private jet. People seeking asylum didn't sell off community centres, privatise buses, or bail out the banks, it was the super-rich and their friends in Westminster. Greens believe in a welcoming Scotland.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It will mean that the Russian president has outplayed the US leader... again 👍

I cut our lavender back savagely but I only cut the part back that had dead flowers on it, left the bits with living flowers Wifey not happy as it looks messy but hopefully the bees are happy 🐝
I don't usually condone people typing all in CAPITALS but I'll make an exception in this case I'll even forgive them putting RT, as if they think this is the dark side I'm very magnanimous like that 😁 #UKpolitics #BBCbias #SkyNewsBias
Getting excited now 😁 QE2 passed away two days after shaking hands with #LizTruss with HRH having an enormous bruise covering most of her hand This week the orange paedo had an enormous bruise covering most of his hand No golf this weekend, most unusual ⛳ No appointments either 🤞
Not a surprise
I just saw someone refer to rfk jr as microwaved mel gibson & i can’t unsee it.

#LibidinousBehaviour is a phrase that I haven't encountered before I can't find my thesaurus and now I'm lost for words Also it feels as if it should be 'pleaded' and not 'pled' 🤔 #Snooker #GraemeDott #Scotland #ChildSexAbuse www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bit of a mishmash today as I was using up odds and sods 😊 Itsuki udon noodles with Garofalo ruote pasta (yes I know, sacrilege). Pimped the shiitake mushroom and kelp umami dashi broth with some shiitake mushrooms. King prawns, butternut squash, garlic.
"No, I expect you to die, Mister Disabledperson" Yes, definitely some similarities there 👍

That was roughly the same conclusion that me and my work colleagues came to about somebody that we work with who claimed a similar thing Fortunately nobody has been daft enough to put our pillock in charge of public health
I've been seeing #Northamptonshire in the news a lot recently Not in a good way, either... #LucyConnolly #FarageRiots
So ironic seeing flag-shagging racists painting the Cross of St George everywhere... Even though St George was Greek and his flag is used for various countries and cities throughout Europe He's not English! At least St Edmund was English
