the bbc's impartiality and overall quality needs to be improved but i have zero problems with everyone paying for it, if its good. maybe do spin off the doctor who and top gear stuff i dont know. BBC news is poo poo now, it actually used to be respected I think? BUt then the world service fought hitler when maybe it should have reported in a fair and balanced way on his successes. amazon is bad. and getting worse but i still have a use for it. i will be dead soon and can stop worrying about it all.

What gets me is the assumption that every house should have one, and they send you threatening letters just if a house doesn't have a license. When I moved I to my house, a threatening letter was sat there waiting for me. gently caress them. They hassled my parents when I was growing up too. Their language, on the website and all the correspondence I get, is poo poo. I have no problem with the BBC itself, I just don't have any interest in TV (apart from the occasional bike race.) What cracks me up, though, is their correspondence goes in cycles. Starts off vague and friendly "we've noticed you don't have a TV license! Oops!" And then builds up to the aforementioned fake court order (which is really loving dodgy. Would really scare my elderly neighbours, for instance) and then....drops back down to the friendly letters again. I've been through the cycle several times. Anyway that's enough whining about TV licenses. Sorry.

We picked up a 90" for something at work and it was completely obscene. I wouldn't want one in my house. 60" is my limit.

yeah ive got a 50 or something that my little brother gave me, said it didnt fit their decor, posh people now want their tv smaller again apparently. I guess it matters how close you sit to it. I never watch it. Everything i watch is like 11 inch or 5 inch. ooer

The best sandwich in the world is a fried egg toastwich. Buttered toast, fried egg (runny yolk, mashed up with knife and fork), salt, small amount of tomato sauce, buttered bread on top. Does anyone have any improvements over this? Genuinely interested, no posers.

i dont think there can be a best sandwich. its incredibly personal and also completely unimportant like most things we discuss in depth. its along similar lines to your choice only worse in every way, but i really enjoy all day breakfast sandwiches from supermarkets with prawn cocktail crisps and a diet coke. It reminds me that someone somewhere has vaguely thought about me whilst we both remained trapped in a horrible capitalist system that means i'm buying poo poo sandwiches from tescos in exchange for an hour of my paid time. the fact that an earl invented it means a sandwich was never meant to be egalitarian, it was always to keep our noses to the grindstone. really we shouldnt eat them. The french dont, they have proper 2 hour lunches with red wine and steak and all they had to do was cut a few heads off.

oh no computer posted:my [recently] new favourite sandwich is this, except with the fresh tomatoes subbed with those sundried tomatoes in garlic/oregano infused olive oil you can get, and just normal pesto instead of the aioli. and i tend to pre-buy the ciabatta instead of making it because gently caress that That does look good, and may be the tastiest, but the amount of work stops it being best. If I had 6 hours to make a sandwich, I wouldn't be eating a sandwich. EDIT: Looking at your edit, it is basically a parma ham, mozzarella and pesto sandwich (rocket is awful and tomato slices just make it soggy), which is great but not as good as a fried egg toastwich.

while i admit it's a pain in the arse due to number of ingredients, it takes at most 2 mins to assemble if you buy the bread instead of bake it

I turned down the chance to have a monster TV that was bigger than my arms outstretched, because my house is in England and therefore the only way a TV that size would fit would be if it were turned sideways. Which would be fine if I was laid on the sofa watching, but that's a serious choking hazard if I was eating a sandwich at the same time. There are two best sandwiches: a tuna, cucumber and mayo on granary bread that was the first solid food I ate after a bout of food poisoning, and a hot aubergine, pesto and mozzerella ciabatta at a train station. It was so good that on the return journey I bought another one, took so long in the queue that I had to run to catch the train, and ended up dropping it on the platform. RIP sandwich

Is there a way to do a fried egg bagel with a runnyish yolk that won't make a horrendous mess or is that a fool's dream? Perhaps if you layered some bacon beneath the egg...

The mess is the good bit, you just need to make sure you leave enough bagel for mopping up afterwards

A simple improvement to the egg sandwich is the inclusion of spinach and crumbled black pudding
