  1. Air fryers guarantee crispy skin on chicken every time. I struggle with that in the oven. Just need a decent sized basket for it though.
  2. It's exactly what's happening. Britain's economy is flat-lining as the BoE's long run of interest rate hikes squeezes households and businesses. But employers are still struggling to fill vacancies after many workers left the job market during the coronavirus pandemic, with Brexit also reducing the supply of candidates. "The labour market remains very tight and businesses are still struggling to hire the people they need," Alexandra Hall-Chen, a policy adviser at the Institute of Directors, said.
  3. Wage rises because there are not enough people to do the work isn't a good thing. It doesn't need a degree to work it out.
  4. Cycling Laura is better than bucktooth Tory Laura.
  5. Haha, I'm sure I've posted that I suffer with anxiety right? That's me fucked every time I have a palpitation.
  6. Ah shoot. I'll be the designated driver from now on then.
  7. Heart was damn near jumping out of my chest this morning, as it has last few times I've been on the lash. I really should can the drinking because it surely can't be good that you have heart palpitations as your body tries to get rid of the alcohol.
  8. Just got back from a rare night out. No idea if I'll be dead in the morning, but there were quite a few whiskys had over the night. Someone will have to identify the dead body.
  9. They'd have to be making a sound for it to sound shite. Almost absolute silence for most of the match. It was bizarre, like everyone was still on the international break.
  10. Bought myself the newer Fire Stick so I can watch the unmentionable, as my old Fire TV is on its last legs. Apart from that, there's not a lot that hasn't been cheaper at other times of the year.
  11. The Lazarus Project S1 - had been meaning to watch this but never quite got round to it until the ads started up for S2. It's actually pretty good and I binged it in a few days.
  12. Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera. I honestly think that these kind of texts should be essential reading, especially in schools, as the consequences of Imperialism are felt as much now as any other time in our history. I believe there's a shorter version of this book for kids aged 9+ which I'm going to buy for our kids as it will help them understand a bit more of our history and why we are here*. (*Answer: because you were there)
  13. It's easy. Wickremasinghe. Rolls off the tongue.
  14. That's one less opportunity for a female to become a Roman Emperor. Men!
  15. 40% increase for me. Even with shopping around it's still a minimum 30% higher. It's ridiculous.
  16. I work Matlock, where it was filmed, and it takes a lot of restraint not to go round shouting "you, ya cunt!" even when asked what I want when out buying a lunchtime cob.
  17. Started a couple of shows recently that are quite promising. Culprits, a heist show on Disney+ with the delectable Gemma Arterton, and Monarch on Apple TV with the Godzilla universe and Kurt Russell. Easy, don't have to engage the brain too much in autumn/winter, TV.
  18. Honestly, still not numb to what's happening. The west is standing by and watching ethnic cleansing happening on an industrial scale. All because consecutive Israeli governments believe in a fairy tale written a few thousand years back. It's amazing how the Middle East is so governed by fairy tales, even "the only democracy in the middle east".
  19. Gemma A. used to attend the all girls school that backed on to my gran's house in Gravesend. So there's a remote possibility that I've seen (or spied) her prancing around, playing hockey or some other posh sport when I was an adolescent. If only I'd known she was destined to turn into a complete fox in her later years, nothing would have happened anyway. Obviously.
  20. First-hand, in that he's strapped to it?
  21. Mine started receding and then just stopped. Which is a pain in the ass as I now have to regularly shave some errant hairs just so that my head doesn't look lopsided.
  22. This was inevitable the minute all the western leaders went into bloodlust mode. It's too fucking late for this reticence when hospitals are having to bury men, women and babies in mass graves.
