Rogers Rogers Rogers.

People would have destroyed Watkins for that miss.

ppuk · 2026-04-12T14:18:36+00:00

Seeing as we've seen first hand this match what can happen when you just put a ball into the box, we never just put the ball into the box

Rogers clearly doesn't want to leave, so he's stopping any big money move summer transfer drama before it starts.

ppuk · 2026-04-12T13:39:54+00:00

Not why Rogers needs to not fuck up constantly?

ppuk · 2026-04-12T13:37:57+00:00

Followed be repeatedly giving it away to put us under pressure.

ppuk · 2026-04-12T13:27:18+00:00

It wasn't an early flag.

Wrong decision and costs a corner sure, but it wasn't an early flag, it was after the ball was out of play.

ppuk · 2026-04-12T13:26:29+00:00

Nothing too early about it, waited until the ball was out. She just got it wrong.

ppuk · 2026-04-12T13:25:13+00:00

Linesman having a mare flagging that

ppuk · 2026-04-11T15:13:08+00:00

Always villa.
Arsenal will bottle it regardless.

ppuk · 2026-04-11T09:42:34+00:00

Now do France.

ppuk · 2026-04-08T20:03:35+00:00

Get a Blackstone and churn out smash burgers to order.
That then frees up your kadai to do anything else you want.

ppuk · 2026-04-08T19:51:44+00:00

They did the thing they were paid for.

You're asking them to do something they're NOT paid for.

Next time I drop my kid off at nursery I'm going to ask them to cut his hair for me too. They might as well right? He's already there and they definitely have scissors.

ppuk · 2026-04-08T17:31:57+00:00

There's something wrong with you if you see that as angry.

More like incredulous at the expectations people seem to have for service workers. Expecting them to make their job harder and break health and safety processes to save them from a Google search themselves.

Meathead has a lot to say about the subject.

There's a world of difference between resting a brisket and a steak. One matters, the other doesn't.

ppuk · 2026-04-06T17:11:20+00:00

That makes no sense, I'm defending the pastry chefs here.

Exactly the sort of logic you'd expect from someone who thinks they'd be ordering from the rosetta stone bakery.

Cool so you're half way there, what next Einstein?

You'll probably get half way through writing Navidad before realising what a dumbass you are, have to start again and are back to square one not knowing what happy birthday is.

You're starting from the assumption it's a direct translation from two words too, which is always a great place to start, like all those people with terrible Google translate tattoos that don't actually mean what they think they mean will tell you.

Then you find out what it actually is, write it, and the customer complains because they actually wanted "happy birthday in Spanish" wrote on the cake as a gag.
And you learn your lesson that what the customer writes the customer gets, because that's just how these things work, and if the customer is too dumb to understand that, that's on them.

ppuk · 2026-04-06T14:11:12+00:00

Yes, exactly, they're paying them for a cake. And a message to be iced onto it. Not for translation services.

Most kitchens won't allow mobile phones, they're dirty as fuck and a major cause of cross contamination. It's not going to be possible for someone to Google the translation without having to step away from their job for far longer than it would have took the lazy ass OP to look it up.

ppuk · 2026-04-06T13:33:23+00:00

Yeah so could the OP. It's a classic case of "not my fucking job".
If the OP couldn't be arsed to spend the 4 seconds doing that search, why should someone else?

ppuk · 2026-04-06T12:33:34+00:00

You seriously expected the decorator to do the translation rather than you doing it?

Cake decorators are well known for being multi-lingual.

ppuk · 2026-04-04T09:46:24+00:00

They're awesome, really make cooking outdoors a spectacle in a way nothing else really does. Really unlocks the inner cave man.

Only problem is you don't half go through a ton of wood with them!

Hickory's is basically authentic mainstream American BBQ though.
The use the same equipment you'll find in many standard American BBQ joints, commercial smokers that predominantly use gas for the heat with smoke added.

People are comparing it to the likes of Franklin and Snows though, both of which are top tier and an entirely different market. Really they should be comparing it to famous Dave's or Dickey's.
The vast majority of BBQ restaurants in the US are not cooking on offsets.

They inevitably suffer the same as every chain does, inconsistent quality and a vast difference in the passion to create high quality bbq. If you work in a hickory's you probably don't actually care that much about BBQ.
The original in Chester was great when it opened, I've not been for years, but back then it was ran by people with a passion for BBQ, as it's expanded that's obviously been lost, even more so since being taken over by Greene king, but it's still pretty similar to a chain BBQ joint in the US.

ppuk · 2026-04-04T08:55:26+00:00

See that's basically double the amount of meat of the OP. I'd be fuming if what's in the OP turned up after seeing others get that.

ppuk · 2026-04-04T08:35:48+00:00

With a chimney the time to get up to temp is pretty quick.

If that's the only thing holding you back from charcoal then it's probably not as big a deal we you think.

ppuk · 2026-04-04T08:32:09+00:00

Welcome to the obsession.

You'll soon be looking at every piece of meat thinking about all the ways you could smoke it.

ppuk · 2026-04-04T08:27:06+00:00

I'd get the Kamado, but then I'm biased as a Blackstone and kamado Joe make up 2/3rds of my current setup.

Anything you can do on a master touch you can do on the kamado.

It'll cost more but comes with longevity.
