Best burger in the world is an Oklahoma onion burger and they’re not overstuffed!

Three top SSIDs!

Ah, cool. I’ll check some out, thanks!

I was lucky enough to be watching Sumo back in the days when Chiyonofuji was at his peak. Seeing him pick up and carry Konishiki out of the dohyō was something else.

Not seen any for years though.

Good:

1. My takeaway is due in 10 minutes.
2. I convinced my wife to let me buy a 65" 4k TV and we’ve now ordered the sofas to go in front of it. They should arrive next week.
3. My kids are old enough to walk to school on their own, so once I’ve got the system down pat I can set my alarm for 08:30.

Bad:

1. Reform is likely to be the next UK government and they’re a. fascist, b. incompetent, c. anti-intellectual, d. anti-everything that isn’t a mirror of themselves. And they’re a bunch of cunts.
2. Russia is pushing NATO’s buttons hard right now. I’m too old to be drafted but not too old to die in a nuclear fireball.
3. Fallout 5 won’t be published. Bastards!

Spring surprise!

Tribal mentality. A lot of people conform to the ‘Hate them… not you though, you’re one of ours’ mindset.

“Fucking hate poofs. Not Barry though, he grew up around here, he’s alright.”

“We should shoot all the [insert racist bollocks here]. Not Abdul who runs the corner shop though, he calls me ‘boss’ when I go in.”

Etc. If only their sense of tribe extended a bit further.

This is the way.

We’re going through a shaky patch in the UK right now, with fascist wannabes like Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage rising in popularity. It’s sad because I thought we were better than that but then Brexit happened and I wouldn’t be surprised if our next government was a Reform majority. And if they get in they’ll do everything they can to secure power forever.

What keeps me hopeful, in the face of this shitstorm, is the sense of community in my neighbourhood. People on my street look out for each other and support each other.

Fucking autoincorrect (or lack of sleep but I’m going to blaim the computer, of course)! Thank you and I shall correct forthwith!

I don’t really know who he is. Who is (was) he?

Well, facism seems like the obvious choice right now, but I’m going deeper and choosing bigotry.

The curries I mentioned are all British though, invented in Britain, by mostly Bangladeshi immigrants. And they’re largely unknown in South Asia. You’d really struggle to find a ‘Chicken Madras’ in Chennai for example.

British - obviously includes the greats like full English/Scottish breakfast, roast dinners, fish and chips, but also includes a wide varieties of Indian/Bangladeshi curries (Balti, Jalfrezi, Madras, Chicken Tikka Masala, etc), and similarly with westernised Chinese dishes.

American - mostly from the south: fried chicken, barbecue, jambalaya, gumbo, etc.
