Tastes like jam.
All other choices advertised cranberries on the front, I grabbed this as it didn’t; It pays to read the ingredients: contains red currants & cranberries.
Really sloppy like a big vegetable mash burger; turns out a “Deluxe” nut roast gets you 4% nuts.
2/10. Absolute bobbins

Last year Lidl were smashing it with veggie roast dinner centre pieces. Doesn’t look like last year’s options are coming back so we’re auditioning new Sunday lunch and Christmas options.
Everything this year is cranberry heavy (we aren’t fans). This looked the best option. It was pretty gross tbh.

From the venerable UNCUT way back in 2003, a selective critical listing of the band’s mid and later-period “singles” (1988-2001). Particularly fun to see the guys’ realtime reactions to some of these songs.

His order is chicken bhuna, half rice, half chips—but he can absolutely be bullied into ordering the phall if someone else orders the vindaloo.
He brings a four pack of Neck Oil. He only drinks 2 cans but the four pack is more fiscally prudent to buy.

My current very basic opinion is that Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is a good movie, and you should watch it.

Any Brummie cyclists looking for a few bits, I’ve just listed an unworn pair of size 10 SPD shoes and some new Shimano 105 SPD pedals on marketplace and I’d rather sell to you because you’re cool?!
Oh also I’ve got a turbo trainer in the loft & a 10 Speed 700c turbo trainer wheel that I’m done with

The Springsteen movie seems to have been and gone from my local cinemas after just one week. A mad one for them to drop during half term but I hope all the 8 year olds enjoyed it.

Yeah look we have no agency here and the thing has already been decided but JOE MUST BE STOPPED.
We caught up on The Traitors last night and I have a very important opinion:
Joe must not be allowed to win. This is now the aim of the game. Traitors and faithful means nothing.
Why?
Every contestant took their glass back from the firepit
Except for Joe
Shown himself up there. Tory behaviour.

Honestly assumed someone in my house had picked up some small run poetry anthology or zine when I saw this.

The National Trust has offered me the chance to "win a scone experience". Intrigued by what this might entail. I have to assume it's more than just eating some scones and at least the chance to become a scone for a day, get covered in jam & cream & experience the full range of emotions of a scone.
