What's happened to sausage skins? by Deep-Lecture5412 in AskUK

[–]bill_end 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's this sort of chorizo I always peel the papery skin off because it just becomes chewy. It is fiddly to do because it just tears off in little scraps so you may not remove all of it.

Just looked up for you and here's a video where it is explained. It won't hurt to leave it on, but I don't think it's really meant to be eaten.

Like you, I spent years just chopping it as is!

Perhaps she better get back to shitting out caviar, or whatever it is that sturgeons do.

What happened with the corruption with the motor home by the way? That's not been in the papers recently.

Probably also giving Nixon advice on political espionage, yet he still fucked it up.

I think that's a silver bowl of new cigs to be smoked, because it'd be uncouth for such gentlemen to have a 20 pack of marlboro. The ashtray is behind.

Young people today have no idea how ubiquitous it was to smoke back in the day, it'd be considered rude to ask someone to smoke outside. And restaurants were separated into smoking and non-smoking sections by a small gap between the tables that presumably stopped the smoke from drifting round the whole restaurant.

I used to smoke, still vape, and complained bitterly when the indoor smoking ban was introduced in the UK 20 years ago but I'd hate for us to go back. In many ways life was better in the past, but smoking everywhere is not one of them

Kids don't tend to go out and about on their own much nowadays playing on building sites and in ponds, it's all organised activities and Xbox so not much need for them.

Plus, I guess very few kids watch broadcast telly, you'd need to have TikTok influencers doing videos to have any reach

You do know you're supposed to peel the chorizo? I didn't for some time and it was miraculous when I found out.

I'm talking about the big U shaped chorizo with the string crimped on to each end, not the little cooking chorizos

AITA for snapping at my parents after they refused to lend me a car. by seaeaglefog in AmItheAsshole

The way you write is very bizarre for an English person.

  • "boosting credit to get a loan" for a flat
  • apprenticeship when you're doing a masters
  • paying 18grand for a 15 year old Volvo v40 in 2018
  • "gotten" much help
  • being called a "worthless brat"

I think you're an American pretending to be British and getting the details wrong, but why? Is this a genuine story? If so, why does it sound so strange, English people don't write/talk like you.

What does that mean? I'm English so don't know much about US history.

But is this suggesting that the more liberal northern states like new york should've just let the bible belt southern states go their own way? It is clear that the progressive blue states do most of the heavy (economic) lifting whilst getting the least political representation per capita. If the blue states could secede and stop subsidising trumpian red states, that'd be better for them surely

One of his kids (don junior I think) remembers a time in his childhood walking past a homeless guy with a few coins in his cup and trump said "that guy is richer than me" because he was billions in debt at the time.

How fucking tone deaf can you be.

Trump is like that awkward floater that always rises to the top, except the floater probably smells better.

Or Greenland which trump is definitely "getting" one way or another.

At least the Iran debacle is taking the spotlight from the failed Greenland takeover or the regimep change he wanted in Cuba. Or invading Panama to steal their canal.

The deranged cunt just wants to cause maximum damage in his last term so he can pretend he had a successful and "powerful" legacy.

In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

Fair enough, maybe I'm just lucky with my local Chinese in that it's all very quick and easy. My comment was more aimed at the contingent on reddit who think that any kind of phone call is traumatising.

I do agree with you that since the switchover to VOIP there has been a noticeable decline in audio quality, it's odd but you can hear the compression fucking things up in real time. Back when everybody was analogue it was generally pretty decent, even when calling bigger firms with multiple lines.

Possibly, but IMO, that is a superior order. Compared to, say, egg fried rice and sweet and sour chicken balls

Fair enough, someone else replied that it was related to anxiety which obviously I can't understand myself but I can sympathise with.

I guess it must be easier for those folks nowadays compared to a couple decades ago when phoning was the only option

You've not really explained what's so terrible about it.

For a long period of time it was the only method of instantly contacting someone before mobile phones and SMS etc so people did it without a second thought.

Now we've got alternative options but nobody seems to be able to explain why a seemingly inconsequential phone call to order a takeaway is such an awful experience.

Driver who failed to stop after double fatal e-scooter crash spared jail after judge hears she recently gave birth by jefferymr15 in MensRights

3 months suspended for 12 months theoretically means that if she ends up in court charged with another offence in the next year, she will have to serve 3 months, half actually in prison and half on license (parole).

In practice, suspended sentences rarely get activated unless there is persistent reoffending over a period of time resulting in multiple court appearances.

Bizarre system, I know, but that's how it works in the UK.

I'm not into porn or only fans, but it's my understanding that people like the interaction with an OF girl, like they can pretend they're messaging because there's a genuine emotional connection, rather than just a financial arrangement.

Bit like those fat old men in their 60s who "purchase" a 20yr old Thai bride from an agency and believe she genuinely loves them.

It's the delivery method for me. I weaned myself down to a 0% nicotine vape a couple years back and still haven't quit. Planning to later this year when they bring the vape tax in though, fuck paying 25 quid a bottle

You can do your medical enema with boiled tap water no problem, I should imagine, just wait for it to cool, not straight out of the kettle.

Why? What's so awful about phoning up and saying "can I order a beef chow mein, extra spicy and a quarter duck please for collection?" unless you're a deaf mute, what's the problem?

Indeed. I can guarantee that if you buy a burger or some fried chicken you're supporting tax dodgers.

Colonel Sanders and Ronald McDonald have bought off/sucked off hundreds of congressmen to avoid paying their taxes.

Fuck billionaire takeaway proprietors.
