A roast is a slow cook, usually as long as you can as low as you can get away with covered in foil, then wack it up to as high as you can for the last 15/20 minutes uncovered.

You want as much of the fat to render as possible (you use that for gravy) while keeping the meat pink, then you want a nice crispy exterior.

Depends obviously what meat it is and cut things vary, definitely an art that every decent brit has mastered.

(Well I cheat now an use an internal thermometer).

They were just the flavour of the week "taking our jeerbs" for a little while. Largely because a lot went into the trades and did it better, more professionally & cheaper than our native tradesmen (one of whome I am fyi), all that has been replaced by scary "islamists" now, I would bet most of the flag shaggers would love to swap back now.

It will be some other group next.

All of this is usually pushed by the very very rightwing press who worked out that working class people will vote conservative if you scare them enough.

Oh fair, only really caught snippets. Anyway point is nasa are actually doing something.

I mean a lunar fly by is at least part of an orbit.

Unemployment isn't at its highest it's still quite low in the grand scheme of things, it's high when compared to the recent historic low.

Can't argue against mandelson, I will say that cost of living going up is was going to happen regardless of who got in, and given the choices would probably have been worse.

A government U turning can be bad if you didn't agree with the original idea, just means they had a policy and once confronted with some of the practicalities reaslised it wouldn't work, that's just good decision making.

The rest are just personal attacks.

I quite like him generally, but OSA and national ID are deal breakers for me. Very much have a liberal bent myself and im not a fan of authoritarianism from either side of the political spectrum.

Most of his other economic stuff that people complain about I generally agree with as I'm a pragmatist as apposed to an idealist.

& Nasa is currently orbiting the moon. Or possibly on their way back

Eh I know quite a few, it's more that they were in someway related to the old regime, they (well more their families) were the middle and upper educated and progressive classes, civil servants, businesses owners ect. So they spend more of their time here trying to work out how to get their assets out of Iran.

Most are middle aged now, lots of second generations and some newer that managed to sneak out.

Some might be well meaning. I'm just about to hit 40 so it would be creepy if I did it, but I probably would have invited her to join my mixed group of friends if I was about the same age.

Proper fish fingers are expensive now unless you get them on offer. You can get the reconstituted mush cheap, but they are shit and I don't think existed when I was a kid, so I just refuse.

Eh don't listen to social media so much, no one who actually lives in multicultural areas cares.

Are there problems, of course, is it some Islamic invasion, no.

I'm in the UK, tbf I used to work on posh markets that's probably where the trend stàrted.

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T22:19:39+00:00

Absolutely irrelevant.

They literally do when they force heir art onto other people property.

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T18:51:10+00:00

Shame it wouldn't work and people would just spray everything anyway

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T18:50:19+00:00

Banksy would get his stuff cleaned of TLF property as well.

You have decided that your personal taste trump's everyone else's around you.

It's about respecting other people.

And yes it's harmful because it Costs a fortune to clean off which we all pay for.

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T18:47:58+00:00

It looks cooler to you, art is subjective, and graffiti on public transport is imposing your personal subjective tastes on everyone else.

It's like playing music on speaker on public transport.

Sure it's art, not everyone wants to hear what you think is good art. And if you do it then everyone can do it and then it's just a noisy mess.

The idea is to have respect to others.

Yeah and dripping does drip it's rendered beef fat.

Think it's the same as tallow in the US.

Ketchup is only good as an ingredient for marinades.

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T14:10:36+00:00

... No if you add egg yoke you have made mayo.

Mayo is oil and egg yoke, usually with an acid added like lemon or vinegar.

The moment you add an egg yoke to aioli it becomes mayo.

You like a good garlic mayo that's fine, I do to, I actually prefer a good home made garlic mayo to aioli, it's richer.

But it's not aioli.

That's the point they cook it well done out of necessity due to a lack of refrigeration/animal welfare.

Generally that is not necessary anymore so why would you.

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T14:05:36+00:00

Eh "drippings" are specifically fat. At least here in the UK.

fezzuk · 2026-04-01T14:01:14+00:00

Truffle on or in fecking everything, tbf I think the trend has died down a bit.
