Convinced Jamie's had me here because I swear I invented this. Fuming 😂 And no one's keen when I explain it.
I include diced green chillies, finely chopped broccoli (esp the stalks) and some garlic.
The chilli heat + mint tingle/cool + salty/oily pancetta is a fucking divine combo.

Not being funny but this stuff - along with what Starmer came out with, going beyond what the Supreme Court judgement said - has been an LGBT equivalent of the LBC Gaza interview for Labour. There is a lot of anger over this. It's also not really clear what upside there is for them saying any of it.
He used to work at Stonewall! He is a gay man in his early forties! God he must have alienated so many friends and acquaintances and former colleagues over this.
Fuck off you disgusting little snake!

The blocks around where photo #1 and #4 are taken are regularly used as a stand-in filming location for NYC/NYC-inspired fictional cities!

Major plus of moving from the city to the suburbs is being able to get a decent haircut for half the price.

Queue full of people tutting behind me as I'm stood at the till, nonchalantly filling in forms for my brand new Ryman rewards card. All to save a total one pound forty nine pence on a pack of A4 paper.
Potential power moves are everywhere once you know how to spot them.

Come out of Sainsburys with the Christmas food shop. Get to the car and fill the boot up to the brim. Come round to climb in and... where the fuck did this blanket on the passenger seat come from? And why is there a crate on the backs-
We're sat in somebody else's fucking car.

Wonder what the overlap is between the commentators who think Farage will be the next PM and that Labour are planning to imminently defenestrate Starmer. Can't be both, but they're both definitely popular stories among those going through chaos withdrawal.

Came to do the annual all-in-one-go Christmas shopping mad dash at the Trafford Centre.
So far I've made it as far as the All Bar One for a pint and some small plates.
