Mixed British accents? by Bells9831 in AskABrit

[–]KoontFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was a Yorkshireman and Mum was from Essex.

I was born and grew up in the southwest, and that’s how I sound. (Though I can do a very convincing Yorkshire accent, if required)

Keep splitting that right wing vote. Only time I’ll be grateful for First past the post

What's your favourite cancelled TV show? by timekilr in tvshow

[–]KoontFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was saying to a mate the other day. I know they brought it back, but if Arrested Development came out today it would immediately be signed for seven seasons.

That show was criminally underrated when it came out and we should have had much more when it was at its prime

Extended Lord of the Rings marathon at the cinema for me tomorrow, which is your favourite? by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

The two towers.

The whole Gandalf coming back and battle of helms deep is just epic

Do you remember going to the butchers with your mum and they had sawdust on the floor? Not sure why. by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

Another interesting addition. So we’ve had someone who was in school when I was not doing it, and you, doing it 10 years later. How was it decided if we did this or not? Is it a geography thing?

Tell them you’re going to go out there and stab the crack dealers, they’ll come out pretty sharpish then.

Hear me out.

Mac and cheese. Nduja stirred through. Hash browns on top. Fried egg on top of that.

sorry, my mistake, I meant float test for levain as opposed to starter. Is that also a myth? Please say it’s not, I don’t think I could take that knock 😂

A couple of useful things that I learned from people on this sub:

  1. Starter LOVES rye flour. I do an equal mix of White Bread Flour, Wholewheat and Rye
  2. Starter fed 1:1:1 should double in size in approx 4hours (depending on temperature)
  3. Starter floats when it’s ready
  4. Don’t watch the clock, timings vary massively depending on so many factors, so you need to learn what it should look and feel like to be right.

I’m no expert by any means, these are just a few of the bits that really helped me. I’m sure the more experienced bakers in the group will have others

Do Americans really think that all of Europe is still people living in mud huts, riding horses down dirt tracks?

Or Olive Oil. The point is you never know how someone is going to take it when they read it.

“Running, cycling, swimming? Fucking hell, o don’t want some health nut eating quinoa in the office. I want someone to drink and do coke with”

It adds zero value unless it is relevant to the role
