overrated - not enough Marmite. I eat that combo a lot but mixed myself. That one isn’t hardcore marmite enough
Hooray! Thanks FLT - I’m with you on this. It was very ho-hum in my opinion. Not one thing or the other ... self mix is much better!

I see that our bone ****ing idle incompetent so called Prime Minister is too ****ing lazy even to speak to us now as he has got somebody else to do it for him.
I positively loathed Thatcher but by comparison with how how I feel about the crooks running our country today I would describe it relatively speaking as being more like a passionate love affair.
How anyone other then a Johnson sycophant could defend this useless lot I don't know.

Im just trying to appeal to my haters.
Haters on here Bilbo? Well I'm not, honest debate with links to verifiable sources to support arguments presented always well received.
Utmost distain for those led by jizzmiester Johnson whose inept mismanagement have caused unnecessary suffering and deaths.
Meridian Peanut Butter, both delicious and the only widely available one to have NO PALM OIL, just 100% Peanuts
Beware Whole Earth, sounds groovy, but has Palm OIl in it
The bloody stuff gets everywhere
Marmite. It almost cured my wife of her habit of taking a bite out of my sandwich, when I wasn’t looking.
The look on her face, when she realised what it was, was priceless.
She checks before she bites now.

Went to see us play Coventry, we scored in something like the 1st minute and held on until the 99th or something and Dion Dublin toe-poked in an equaliser
Difficult journey home but popped into a pub for a pint and picked up some Beef Dripping they were selling for charity
Not had it for decades so thought we'd give it a go
Gat back to mates place and a short while later there was a blood-curdling scream from the kitchen
His wife had been raiding the fridge, found it and thought it was Creme Brulee, so took a spoon to it and took a big mouthful
Priceless

Have you heard the story of Peter Mandelsohn and the avocado dip? He asked for it in a chip shop, whilst pointing to the mushy peas.
This story may be apocryphal
You've got Mandelson mixed up with Mendolsohn there
and I had to look apocryphal up
I'm concerned that these are both signs you're becoming part of the liberal elite and may start to have similar food identification issues
I remember thinking that the story was too convenient an attempt to slur him as a member of the bougeoisie so it must be apocryphal
I'd never considered how similar my story was to that in its bourgeois misidentification, except its not apochryphal of course
and as this is the politics thread ...
Don't you think its rich(!) that the Tories have played such a key role in the destruction of social mobility and then their media attack dogs slur Labour MPs for being part of the Liberal Elite
and I know Labour are somewhat complicit, but if they try to be at all Socialist then the right wing media just call them Bonkers Commies
and if any member of the proletariat claims to be a Socialist but has ever eaten Humous or Tapenade, then they're slighted for being fakes or 'Champagne Socialists'
rather than real ones. So we're stuck with Marmite

Yeah, very English, this obsession with class. It’s funny to laugh at sometimes, but when it’s used by old Etonians to divide and rule the lower orders, then it’s not so funny.
I’ve never understood why socialists shouldn’t drink champagne. I suspect that what the people who mock them for it really resent, is uppity proles getting ideas above their station. How dare Keir Starmer get himself a first rate (state) education on his own merits, become a successful lawyer, and still have principles?
Just like my Father, I insist on having ideas above my station and encourage my fellow oiks to do the the same

i am accused of champagne socialism. I give the John Mortimer response. Of course I am. I believe everyone should be able to drink champagne
Meanwhile, up North .... In Chester our figures are rising. Unsurprisingly as it’s a small City with a University (which does afford us the advantage of no longer being a Tory stronghold). We are blocked in by areas of lockdown and reckon ours isn’t far away. One of my grandchildren was sent home with 100 + members of her year after one student developed Covid-19. Seems that the school was prepared for this and have put an excellent learning package in place. Now if you missed that I’ LL REPEAT. THEY WERE PREPARED FOR IT. I am advocating that the Senior Management Team of the school take over the running of the country. Boris and his pals seem incapable of anticipating that they might get run over if they stand in the middle of the road. “What? The eat out scheme meant people went out and spread the virus? Gosh, who’d have thought it? And what? University freshers wander through their newly discovered town getting lashed. Golly, didn’t expect that, chums. “
And now they discover that great swathes of “The North” have a disproportionate number of workers on **** contracts who will be severely shafted by a lockdown. Well, well.
Andy Burnham isn’t a classic ‘man the barricades, comrades’ so when he gets pissed off you may be sure it’s getting seriously nasty.

I'm really sure we shouldn't all believe everything we read. He said PHE would be picking up the tab. Sure he did. The story could have been more credible without that part. They could have ended it with "said Katie from Facebook".
Even though a government source told the PA news agency that Mr Hancock had made the “joke “ as reported......we shouldn’t believe it then.
You can believe what you want, I'm just saying we dont always need to believe it. Doesn't mean it happened just cos someone reported it. I did hear that apparently, sometimes not everything that is reported, is true...
Also it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen either.
And why would someone make it up? And then dismiss it as he said it as a joke?
