When I was in the states, fire stations were the obvious place to wait for cabs. Always open, always safe.

‘now’

This was just the quotidian breakfast at Hossenfeffer Court. I suppose they might serve much the same at whatever counts as a ‘middle class hotel’, surely anything less would be grounds for complaint?

I’ve just taken a peek at the Savoy’s breakfast menu and it seems a bit spartan to me. No kidneys, no fried bread, no mushrooms, I’m troubled by their description of a ‘choice of egg’, and those modern, American, baked beans instead of traditional buttered beans. Is that the sort of thing you were thinking about?

Edit to add: crikey, just looked at the Ritz breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and tomato. And that’s it! The middle class do appear to have it somewhat rough. I blame the governement.

I just eat whatever cook serves. Breakfast was pretty simple this morning: a choice of cereals, pastry basket, kippers with a poached egg, full English (just the standards - eggs to order, bacon, herb sausage, black pudding, white pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, grilled lambs kidneys, fried bread, buttered beans), followed by toast and marmalade, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. Oh, and coffee. So important. Just a normal ‘breakfast’, you know, whatever one’s finds in the chafing dishes plus the eggs. So ‘breakfast’, does that count as one food item?

Chasity does.

All flying cars that have been built have been shit as a car and shit as a plane. The only variations is how much the shit leans towards the car functionality or the plane functionality.

Hmm, I do use Starling in the UK which seems like it’s worked in the past but doesn’t now.

Perpetual motion
Cold fusion
Flying cars
Teleportation
Heavy-lift dirigibles

Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in South America

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America

They do quiet, existential despair like no-one else.

“In contrast, every Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Waitrose, Co-op, Lidl and Covent Garden soup tested had salt levels at or below the government target.”

Phew! Pretty much the only soup I eat on a regular basis is the Covent Garden Classic Chicken. To which I add some black pepper, some grilled chicken (if I have leftovers), and some Mahi Bhut Jolokia hot sauce. But I’ve never wanted to add salt.

Ok, I’m new to looking at replacing my phone with something that doesn’t run Google or Apple.

Is there an OS I can use which is a. FOSS, b. European, and c. runs banking apps. Because I basically don’t take a wallet anywhere anymore, just my phone. Sure, there are occassions when I take a slimline wallet with a couple of cards, but quite often if I’m making a significant puchase I need my phone to TFA it.

I don’t care about cameras or headphone jacks that much. I do care about being able to buy shit.

Having used a VPN to see the footage: “Fuckin’ 'ell.”

Posting imgur links to a UK focused community does seem a little passive aggresive, I agree.

On the plus side, I no longer want to be a billionaire, so there’s that.

Man, I love Hopkins. A couple of years go by and there’s absolutely nothing, then she sticks her stupid head above the parapet and says something monumentally hateful or stupid or both. I’d like to remind everyone of this particular gem:

Irn Bru. Made in Scotland. From Girders. - fuckin’ brilliant.

I’m only surprised a Reform guy was high enough profile to get named in the files. Except for Farage maybe.

Bunny! Ball ball!
