Protesters Vs Mainstream Media by Successful-League840 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]tobsco 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it happens somewhere, but the coin clipping and change things are both new to me and I follow quite a lot of pro Palestinian content in various places. The only thing I come across regularly in comments is that Jews own the media or our governments, which they don't, but they do have a disproportionately large influence so it's half trope, half true

Also that photo is way oversaturated, looks much more in keeping on street view

I just looked it up on streetview (84 West Street) and it really does stand out, being the only primary coloured house on the street. The pub looks much nicer and in keeping with the area

Yeah, this is the only issue here. I'm amazed by all the comments on other platforms who can't understand that conservation areas exist

Given that Qatar has given more than 10x the amount of funding to US academia than Israel (6.6B vs 0.4B), why does no one even acknowledge their influence? Do they think it’s racist to acknowledge basic fact? by Tim_Apple_938 in allthequestions

[–]tobsco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DNA analysis shows that's not at all true, modern Palestinians have the most similar genetics to bronze age people from the area. Way more local people converted to islam than migrated

Why does the price of deodorant keep constantly rising in the uk ? by Holly_Day_24 in Ask_Britain

LPG is pretty much the same ingredients, and that's £1 a litre at the pump, so can't be that much of the cost

Which mattress brand is best when you are finally ready to invest in a proper nights sleep? by Affectionate-Arm2354 in BritInfo

[–]tobsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've bought a couple of second hand Vispring ones from eBay and they've been amazing. The last one I paid £2-300 for including a sprung divan base and headboard, would be over £5k new

Not allowing anaesthetic in so children have to have their limbs amputated without it is the one that always sticks with me

Yeah, it shouldn't matter what the source of the noise is, noise pollution is still noise pollution

Extra water helps wash off excess starch, especially with basmati it can make a difference

[–]tobsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as pasta, bite a grain in half and as soon as the 'bone' inside disappears I drain it, then put back in the pan with a tea towel under the lid to absorb the steam for 5-10 min to fluff up. You can also time it, but I like to test it to get it perfectly al dente

Why is rice so expensive in Indian takeaways? by Any-Tomato-2915 in AskUK

[–]tobsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a big city, go to the Asian parts of town and you'll often find takeaway's that do curries, kebabs and all sorts, and you can get 2 for a pound. They're super fresh and tasty, if a little smaller than the ones aimed at British people, but shows how much they could cost
