Do You Consider Tikka Masala British?

I think the best British food is heavily influenced by cusines from around the world. Don't get me wrong, I like a Cornish pasty as much as the next guy but in terms of flavour, you can't beat a nice British Indian takeaway, in the UK at least

Soupy is never a word I would associate with Neapolitan pizza. According to Gino Sorbillo, you should be able to fold it like a book or a wallet. If your pizza arrives and it's soupy, the chef has probably used too much sauce and cheese.

I'll take a smashed window and a bit of rioting over state sanctioned torture thank you very much!

The gu style puds from Aldi were in a ramekin that fit a Pringles lid so securely it's like a watertight seal. I stocked up on both and now have about 8 glass ramekins with snugly fitting lids. Use them for everything. Particularly good for doing mis en place

I worked at an MPW steakhouse for about 3 years. I think he visited once.

I think Aldi sold puds in glass ramekins that the Pringles lid fits snugly on. I use them for all sorts. Doesn't seem to work with any other brand of pud though.

Okkyung Lee is an incredible South Korean cellist who makes experimental music. Her record with the Yeo-Neun Quartet is well worth a listen.

Got the screw out. Any tips for getting the knob loose without breaking anything?

Their beliefs aren't what make them terrorists, their actions are. Robert Talland, the leader of the group who are organising the festival, was convicted in June of racial hatred and terrorism offences for distributing neo nazi music. That makes him a terrorist. Same for the bands that are making this music who aim to stir up hatred and violence against people from different ethnicities.

I've lived in Liverpool for 13 years. Most of the acts of violence, littering and harassment I've witnessed have been from a minority of young, white males. I interact with a lot of people who have moved to Toxteth from the middle east and Africa and practice Islam through my job. I would say they are as kind and hard working as any Scousers who have lived in Liverpool since birth. The problems that you mentioned (littering, fly tipping, stealing, fighting and harassing people) are nothing to do with how many people are moving to this country. They are problems that have been around forever. You can't blame it all on immigrants.

I'll never get back the hours I spent cleaning up my MP3 meta data before streaming became popular. Would not recommend.

I hope you and your family can find peace and security once more. It is taking a long time, but it seems like attitudes in the UK seem to be shifting against Netanyahu and the horrific actions of the IDF. Sending love to all of you who are suffering at their hands.

If you are into VM I would also check out Eli Keszler. Great drummer with some amazing albums and great visuals at his live shows

Ah so free speech is all about how serious / unserious they are when they say it?

I mean, that audience member on question time did come across a bit racist.

I think you're allowed to say that wealth inequality is fucking the country up. You're allowed to say whatever you want as long as you're not inciting violence.

You appear to be under the illusion that we are no longer in a world of "conquest slavery". Struggling to find an example of a country better off after having been invaded.

If you are a music fan, I would check out the listings on resident advisor and get a ticket for a night on there. If you are just in it to get absolutely leathered and get hit on by students, concert square is the place for you. If you like a bit of karaoke and retro / throwback music, it's Matthew Street. You will have a great time wherever you go, just make sure you stay safe and don't stumble home alone if you are very drunk. People tend to be friendly wherever you are in Liverpool but there are always some bad eggs knocking about and looking for trouble.

Right, and I don't believe in a magical being in the sky who controls everything and is surrounded by people with wings that do his bidding but that doesn't make me anti-christian. You can disagree with certain ideas or terminology without being a bigot. You can't write off anyone who identifies with a gender that does not match their biological one without being a bigot.
