I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Nah, we just sweated our asses off and lost sleep so either slept during the day or be very cranky at school/work.

My family in Turkey say that it's like 34 degrees. I actually never lived in a place with an A/C until I worked in North Africa and even then it was choice between dying from a heatstroke vs. not being able to sleep due to old A/C sounds (that was back in 08).

In the South-West (Aegean and Mediterranean coast) people paint their houses white and build them in drafty valleys if possible but lol I lived 2 years in Antalya and just waited until I pass out from the heat back in like 99.

The new lockdown measures for Manchester/North sound confusing as hell. You can't have people at your place but it's okay to meet randos outside?

Same, but I gotta go out to Asda in a bit so I can have said drinks (with ice in). Booze supplies critically low; down to the last 1/4 bottle of vodka :ohdear:

Anyone want anything?

It's quite simple: you're allowed to cheerfully toast the Queen with your fellow uncontaminated countrymen in a wholesome British pub, but meeting a small group of close relatives for this suspicious, unregulated ceremony of "Eid" is clearly a recipe for viral armageddon.

The youth are spreading the disease with their awful house parties and illegal raves rather than getting cleanly shitfaced in their local pub, member's club or restaurant. It's completely unacceptable.

I don’t miss the UK being totally unprepared for the weather to ever be outside of 4 and 24c, no matter how often it happens.

Here the index is 37c and there’s a hurricane approaching, and it’s just another day.

Mmm, Nandos...

In Turkey, Eid is a good reason to get away from your relatives and go to a 9 day sandy beach holiday on the Aegean coast.

By the way, today is the last day you can claim flexible furlough if you are self-employed and director or your own company (means that you can get the furlough even if you worked this month) in case you passed out from the heatwave and missed it.

i mean, there does seem to be a fairly strong correlation between the red patches on the map and places that have large south asian populations (leicester, oldham, blackburn)

i'd rather not start idly speculating about whether that's to do with economic reasons or cultural ones, and you can be tactful about it, but it's probably not a good idea to let a bunch of people die in service of not coming off as discriminatory

My whole family including my chronic asthmatic sister whom had like 14 surgeries and has the weakest immune system, my Type 2 diabetic mom, my elderly auntie and early dementia uncle and bunch of assorted people are gathering for Eid / Qurban (Kurban?) which has a really high chance of turning into "rip your famil" kinda situation if anyone had the Roni and I'm trying to be calm about it.

They were pretty much isolating since forever together and live close to each other, don't use public transportation etc. but I'm still nervous about the whole thing. :smith:

i think you're arguing against something no-one is in fact saying, op

shouting "sort yourself out, browns" is insanely poor messaging

It was mainly about the suggestion in the tweet that Burnham was engaging in "disgusting racist scapegoating" by suggesting that there are specific concerns about south asian communities, in response to data suggesting specific concerns with south asian communities in the areas he's directly responsible for

Somewhat different to the MP for Four Goats In Norfolk chiming in to explain why minorities are a disease vector
