Ratjaculation posted:Let's just be clear here, an enormous part of the population is going to ignore Christmas restrictions anyway 'just cos' and we're all going to suffer the price for them absolutely essentially having to read lovely cracker jokes to their aunts. Yeah it's definitely the fault of people who've spent the last month planning around what they were promised and not this ridiculous shitshow of a government.

redreader posted:Yeah I don't live there any more and that is correct, but also the on door is different to the off door, and I would wait at the on door in the front which wouldn't open. Last I was there you have to tap your card at the front as you get on. Oh right, I don't get the bus often but most of them have card readers on the middle doors now too IIRC.

kecske posted:food shortage coming? better buy more for myself so there's less for other people! Ideally people will have been gradually building stocks for the last year or so rather than panic buying now. I don't even know where I'd keep extra food in my flat so I guess I'm going to hope for the best.

Bardeh posted:I have an account on https://www.thread.com/, and I think I ordered something once. It's not that personalized, you put your sizes in there, and then your general body shape and some preferences, and it spits out recommendations at you. I'd imagine you pay a slight premium ordering the actual clothes through them than if you were to search it up separately at each individual shop, but nothing ever struck me as being egregiously expensive. £40 for a belt?!

Mojo Jojo posted:I remember trying to rewatch one of the LotR films when they hit dvd and even at that point and on tiny TV the cgi was too poor to take seriously. They were a fun cinema experience but keep the nostalgia and don't go back This is a really bizarre take considering how well it holds up for a 20 year old film. They're still the best cinematic blockbusters in recent memory and I'll happily watch the 10-12 hour extended cut on a yearly basis. Hell I rewatched the Hobbit trilogy recently too and even those aren't nearly as bad as I remembered (still really loving bad though, don't watch them).

The bits of the Hobbit that I considered standout scenes at the time (the Gollum and Smaug scenes) really don't hold up all that well either. 2002 Gollum holds up better today than 2012 Gollum does. There's something too fluid about the newer one - like they're going for ultra-realistic motion but it just makes it look more like an animated character. Ian Holm looks loving weird too. I know he's a decade closer to death but his hairline is in a completely different place. Could they not find the old Bilbo wig?

Cyril Sneeer posted:compareed to the films, how bad are the books. The LOTR books are fairly inpenetrable - they were basically the first 'modern' high fantasy novels and Tolkien was a loving weirdo who would rather spend 200 pages talking about a forest than the actual plot. They're great if you can get into them though. The Hobbit is a kid's book and dirt simple. It's worth a read and won't take long.

Ewan posted:One of my old flatmates used to do this but with chorizo in a frying pan (she'd just fry some up for a snack). She'd put it on then go hide in her room and forget about it. I'd come home from work to find the kitchen a smoke-filled hell hole with a frying pan full blackened sausage. I've done this with cheese on toast more than once. If it's not something you have to actively watch/poke with a stick every so often I get bored and drift away very quickly.

CancerCakes posted:The slow cooker is probably the best bang for buck cooking thing I ever got, cost 10 pounds, about 15 years old now, use it about once a week. Lovely The only one we could find that wasn't stupid expensive was an 8-in-1 with rice/pressure cooking functionality too. It's a great bit of kit and the rice is lovely but the slow cooker seems to be about twice as hot as a 'proper' one, so all my slow cooked meals feel marginally overdone.

Nandos was really good before 2010ish, then the chicken got really bony and the sauce got less spicy and more bland. Maybe they got bought out or something idk. It's still nice enough now but you've missed the glory days.

Whybird posted:Like, ales and stouts and bitters that are just made from hops, grain, yeast and water already have complex and distinct flavours. I've yet to taste one where adding chocolate or liquorice or vanilla or something accentuates that flavour and doesn't just drown it out. I had a saltes caramel stout a year or two back which is the best flavoured booze I've ever had (I think it was Laines Brewery). Elvis Juice is a staple for me too.

I recently watched some episodes of Cheers for the first time because C4 puts it on before I go into the office, and that Sam guy is a real creep.
