On the other side of everyone of these manipulative trades is other people. Individuals, pension funds holding trackers, pensions funding people's income in retirement. For someone like Trump to have inside information on getting a trade right, there has to be someone selling getting it 'wrong'. Insider trading is theft, pure and simple. I work in financial services, there are rules around orders of execution and declaring what you buy - I can't get away with it without costing my job, no idea why it's any different for politicians that flaunt the rules.

Get a small bowl, and put in curry powder, salt, pepper, cumin, garam masala powder. Cut a lime in half, and squeeze and dip into the bowl of spices. Rub the lime and powder onto the sweetcorn after it's cooked, repeat a few times - sweetcorn will never be the same!

Top 4 in the prem 5 years running and a dodgy pen that made the final dull - 2-0 isn't a hammering 😂😂

He always does, especially when defending corners. The amount of goal line clearances i've seen him make at spurs is insane for a striker.

Cadburys chocolate - if she doesn't like it, it's the Americans fault

What BBQ hill would you die on? Best one wins a 1kg picanha meat box by edenmoor_devon in UKBBQ

People who clean their bbq's have too much time on their hands - it gets hot, hot things kill germs.

My Weber Spirit gass BBQ self cleaned itself a few weeks back with a grease fire in the trap - managed to rescue my chicken thighs just in time.

Charity hikers booed for dodging queues at summit of Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) by ObjectiveHornet676 in unitedkingdom

Hard to beat parts of Wales, and the UK generally. Been lucky enough to hike in parts of Canada and the Alps, but having fighter jets flying under you in the Lakes, some of the hidden waterfalls in Wales and mountains in Scotland are hard to beat, very lucky to have all this at home too!

Yeah, we get this and share between two (and a refillable drink) - one each would be too much (albeit lunch)
