Guavanaut posted:My gut instinct is to be repulsed at this and I'm not sure why, so now I'm intrigued. Fruit infused IPAs are the big thing at the moment. People are putting mango puree in beers and poo poo. Some of them are actually really nice. At the moment some big Tescos have Vocation's blueberry waffle stout - give one a go if you see 'em, they're amazing.

mehall posted:Yeah, the vocation Collab waffle stout is decent, very light for a stout. It's really, really drinkable, and I'm not usually a stout person at all. I'm not quite sure how Vocation can turn out the beers they do at the prices they charge, but I'm definitely not complaining. Their Yakima Pilsner is lovely too.

Spiritus Nox posted:Hi, dumb amerigoon here with a probably dumb question. I keep seeing people say lately: "It's time to stop Brexit" or calling for another referendum or some such. Is that a thing you can actually do at this point? I feel like I remember hearing months ago that the UK had officially enacted some EU charter to begin the divorce proceedings, and that there's no legal mechanism to go back once that's been done. Is that mistaken? Are we assuming that the UK/EU would rather go 'well just kidding' wrt to that charter if it's the only way to stave off disaster? Are people just being stupid? I think some EU court or another is currently deliberating on whether or not we can reverse course and rescind Article 50 (the mechanism by which we notified the EU we were leaving). Consensus seems to be that they'll probably say we can if we choose to. Trouble is, if someone does do that without another vote, we'll end up with riots and civil unrest probably, because the country is split down the middle almost exactly on people's opinion on this. So that's why lots of people now are calling for a second referendum on exactly what we should do, once May's current deal inevitably can't get through Parliament. However, the form that referendum might take, or the result of it, is hard to say. We'll likely end up with another very close vote that will at best make half the population happy, and at worst just gently caress us all if there's an actual mandate for No Deal. So, short answer is: nobody has even the slightest clue what's going to happen.

The only time I ever drank Strongbow was the occasional snakebite at my uni club and bars. One time I bought one in the nightclub, turned around, and spilt it all over a girl all dressed up in a skimpy light coloured dress. She was extremely pissed off and I just ducked away into the crowd. That blackcurrant cordial stains like you wouldn't believe.

Ash Crimson posted:Ah yes that is analogous to a country in a union loving over the others so they can live their dream of being an independent empire again Who are you even posting at? Do we in this thread represent the entirety of England to you? There are tens of millions of people in England, with different opinions and desires and beliefs. Spouting off itt about how terrible England is, like it's one monolithic entity, is silly. It's also pointless. What are you looking for? Would you like us to agree with you that England Bad?

So what does this actually mean? There's a motion of contempt tomorrow - presumably there'll be a vote on that? What would the consequences of the vote be? Not just in terms of what it might imply for the government, but the actual consequences of this individual vote. Who's in contempt? The entire government, or just the Attorney General for refusing to release the documents? This is all confusing as gently caress

Do we like Bercow? I know he used to be a Tory before he became speaker, and there was that bullying stuff recently, but I can't help but grin at his turn of phrase a lot of the time.

I've got an interview with Royal Mail on Monday for a postman job. Do I wear a suit (luckily I do own one, but only 'cos my Nan died a few months back and I couldn't get away with not wearing one to the funeral) or just smart casual? I'm nervous as gently caress, been self employed for almost 6 years now.

I'll wear the suit. It's not like they're gonna take it as a negative, even if I will look (and feel) like a bit of a wanker if nobody else is. And yeah, the reason I only bought a suit when forced to for a funeral is because I loving hate wearing them and don't want a job where I'd have to. But right now, this job fits perfectly around my hours with regards to kid and school etc, gets me out and walking and exercising and interacting with people, the money's decent, and it leaves me time in the evening to carry on doing the freelance writing that will still be making up the majority of my income. If wearing a suit for a morning increases my chances of getting it, I'll do it.

The thing is, if I don't wear the suit, all I have are jeans and t-shirts really. Maybe just the trousers and the shirt. I feel like I'm overthinking this.

Just hold the vote today and save 4 days. There is no way whatsoever it is passing now. 0%. It's dead. Use those 4 days to try and figure out what the gently caress to do next. What a farce.

Just a little tidbit that I found pretty enlightening. The MP's income declarations were linked earlier in the Guardian live blog. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmregmem/181203/181203.pdf Corbyn's trip to New York:  Economy flights, cheap hotel as a delegate for an important and worthy cause. Boris' trip to New York:  First class flights for him and a friend, ridiculously expensive hotel to collect an award wanking him off.

How in the gently caress are the Tory numbers still so high? What the gently caress. Also  at Tommy Robinson leading to a bunch of UKIP people resigning but their numbers going up. I wonder what that might mean about UKIP voters
