Let us hope it's not anything trivial.

Nah, we didn't get there until modern geeks.

I know those places well. And like them very much. But adding mint or rose water to everything does not make a cuisine more "refined". And that is ALL I will say on this, before starting war.

Go to your room.

The Vineyard just off Camberwell Green has always been solid and homey if not spectacular.

Well. This is an interesting thing from a council that gave control to Reform UK just under a year ago.

A lot of food, yes. Not stone cold tho - warmish room temp. And never for spitroast meat. Which is just madness.

Start was strong, but pita'd out.

I have actually been mulling JUST such an episode for a while, with the @deliciouslegacy.bsky.social as a guest.

Porkstacy, surely.

And CHEAP. Unlike a couple of bits of cold gristle with some weird mustard sauce in a crumbling pita, for SEVENTEED QUID THANKS.

Skewered by critics, that was.

And often by a margin which indicates that, not only there is not a single Greek person in that kitchen, but nobody has ever met any Greek person, been to Greece, heard of Greece, or indeed seen a photograph of a souvlaki.

I have access to everything from lobster thermidor to authentic Roman pizza, but for some bizarre reason what even the most mediocre place in Athens can manage - making a decent souvlaki and delivering it before it is stone cold - continues to evade the South London food scene.

I must say, I have dealt with both. Many are supportive, but there are also many who deeply resent those who "had ideas above their station" and left.

I invite you, once more, to say what "movement" you want to prohibit. From a rural place to the nearest town? From Mirfield to Manchester? From Truro to London? From Wales to Scotland? What duty does a stranger owe you, to not chase their dreams, to not "leave" you, because you can't move?

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.

Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

quite apart from Kemi Badenoch's dismal performance on BBC Breakfast, minimising the work of the RAF, she spoke of Labour 'not being built' for conflict because they came into power to do things like 'breakfast clubs' in such a disparaging way, like feeding kids is a joke ambition

Please make him wear that. He couldn't pull it down past his nipples without a shoehorn.

Look at the guy rocking back and forth, a rictus grin on his face, dripping with sweat, trying to pretend he is somewhere else.

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

I already have it pencilled in as the likely title of that episode, when and if it comes.

That's exactly it. And one needs guidance at that age, that it can easily go the wrong way - especially when you have social media "influencers" basically monetising misogyny and radicalising as many young men as possible, because ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

That is what he is saying. That with FOM movement is fluid, rather than permanent.
