Fish in bubbly salt and vinegar batter. Boiled carrot, potato and water chestnut. Raw shredded carrot with raw spring onion and balsamic vinegar for me. Balsamic vinegar on the battered fish 🐟

Brits would never call that toad in the hole, which is sausages in batter

'Toad in the hole bread' appears to be a US thing

Me and wifey have visited loads of historical homes around the UK, mostly owned by charities

Many of them talk about 'persecution of Catholics' but they always talk as if the church and Christianity are benign or positive things

What if churches (and Christianity itself) are actually evil? 🤔

Some websites suggest #GuyFawkes was set up and Robert Cecil used paranoia about Roman Catholics to influence King James in 1605

@romanpiso.bsky.social shared a link recently which suggested that the Vatican had links to Hitler in the 1940s

So maybe Cecil/King James were right to be paranoid? 🤔

They had it on the bar jukebox when we went to Malta, and it was played virtually all the time that the bar was open 😁

When I do a search for Shea Serrano, who I've never heard of before, the pictures of him don't look anything like the guy with sunglasses in the profile picture there 🤔

I don't know much about #football, but two points from ten matches doesn't sound like a great way to stay in the #PremierLeague

They're going to love the fact that William wants to disestablish the Church of England when he's king, then 😉

The #Morrisons website quite clearly shows persimmons as a pack of four, states that it's 4 fruit at 25p each

What I actually received suggests otherwise 🤔

Having said that, at least they're not from illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine, they're from Spain🇪🇸

People who put restrictions on replies and quote posts really get on my nerves

Anyway, the American Dream is still alive and kicking in poor countries all around the world, despite the efforts of the orange paedo and his crooked cohorts

#LibreOffice has recently been updated to 25.8.2.2 (X86_64)

Previously, a document would open in the place on the screen that it was in when it was saved

Now it doesn't 😬
