The One Purple Paperclip idea seems a bit reluctant to take off.

Haven't gotten to the supercar/mansion yet but we have made some progress!
I should have updated it, I made the firsts trade lasts week (not so busy now).


One purple paperclip >>>>>>> Deadparrot's personal man cave stapler.

My stapler? Well he's lime green and he makes interesting chats, and can provide detail on the goings on of dead parrots cave

[DeadParrot]

Can confirm soundness of stapler.
Can really hold a conversation

...if your in Bill pay, and using any of the Red price plans which I think everyone has...Then text Red to 50020....it'll cost 2:99 per day for 200mb of data, and a couple of hundred minutes talk/ text...and the days that you don't do any roaming then it doesn't kick in...

Yep on red, that sounds like the one for me

This sort of stuff seems to be popping up more and more. Should bookmakers be compelled to do some sort of background checks on high rollers to see if there gambling within their means? I'm not sure really if they should and if they could particularly where its cash and not online betting but its an interesting question.

You can be pretty certain they already do.

[Jam-Fly]

A man who works in a bank displays a basic understanding of how the banking industry works plus a few elements of taxation. He is also eloquent and can tell a joke. This is evidence of a conspiracy to you?

I'm not sure if I agree with thr general sentiment of this post and it clearly wasn't written by Andy. But it was well written and it was a humorous point he was making so I gave it a 'thanks'.

Bought one of these salami today in Aldi, thought it would be a nice nibble some night over the xmas, looks fancy too.

what would one serve with it?



also got some nice cheese in Lidl, some lovely stuff in their Deluxe section

Salami thinly sliced, fancy cheese, crusty bread, olive oil washed down by white wine. Nice Italian plate of snacks there.

do you drizzle oil over the bread instead of butter, i am useless at this type of stuff. Be a nice change to have nice nibbles instead of the usual shit. sundried tomatoes and olives too I presume would be nice with all of that?

Ya, but butter will be ok too if you want to cheat a bit on the authenticity I'm not a fan of olives, but those type of things would be in the right ballpark, yep. As you say, it'll make a change. You should maybe look for some prosciutto as well, should be available widely in supermarkets.

There are loads of good cheeses in Lidl and Aldi and just picking up a few of those that you don't usually eat is a much better option than those generic cheddars with colour run through them IMO

The Tesco finest 3 for a Tenner offer is great value, there is a selection of quality hard cheeses including Comte and a lovely hard Pyreneen cheese and a few nice blue and creamy options.

I got my box of Prosciutto, pancetta, bresola and salamis from Marco d'ogginio today nyom nyom

If it's the red one you bought, just going by the colour id take a lump (technical cooking term) off the end of it, dice it into chunks, fry in little or no oil till the paprika/oils come out of it, add onion, chilli etc and toss in some cooked linguini

[Strewelpeter]

Could have been Cashel, its a fairly mild blue but the really smelly creamy one is camembert.

One I really like at the moment is Shropshire blue, its a yellow coloured stilton.

[RichieM]

I would disagree with kevs White wine suggestion and go with red because of my massive red wine bias. If just having a few nibbles a nice fleurie will be quite light and soft. I do agree on bread, cheese, olives, other meats and maybe some pickles. Definitely worse ways to spend the afternoon.

I bought two boxes of Clipper Tea and six bottles of Henderson's Relish while I was in Sheffield. Now that I'm home, I'm certain it wasn't enough.

Brilliant. Kindly fuck off already Russell.

Russel Brand replied on his facebook page with a very long load of bollox.

SPOILER

Hello Jo, thanks for your open letter, I do remember you from the melee outside RBS and firstly, I’d like to say sorry for your paella getting cold. It’s not nice to suffer because of actions that are nothing to do with you. I imagine the disabled people of our country who have been hit with £6bn of benefit cuts during the period that RBS received £46bn of public bail-out money feel similarly cheesed off.

I can’t apologise for the RBS lockdown though mate because, I don’t have the authority to close great big institutions – even ones found guilty of criminal activity.

The locking of the doors and your tarnished lunch came about as the result of orders from “the faceless bosses” upstairs after I wandered in on my own while we secretly filmed from across the street - then security swarmed, all the doors were locked and crowds gathered outside. I must say Jo; it felt like RBS had something terrible to hide. But more of that in a minute.

Neither was I there for publicity, although you could be forgiven for thinking that; for many years I have earned my money (and paid my taxes) by showing off. If I needed negative publicity (and, believe me, that’s all talking publicly about inequality can ever get you) I could get it by using the “N word” on telly, or putting a cat in a bin, or having a romantic liaison with the lad from TOWIE.

I was there with filmmaker Michael Winterbottom making a documentary about how the economic crises caused by the banking industry (RBS were found guilty of rigging Libor and the foreign exchange) has led to an economic attack on the most vulnerable people in society. I don’t want to undermine your personal inconvenience Jo, I’d be the first to admit that I’m often more vexed by little things; iPhone chargers continually changing makes me as angry as apartheid - so I can’t claim any personal moral high ground, but a chance to make a film that highlights how £80bn of austerity cuts were made, punishing society’s most vulnerable during the same period that bankers awarded themselves £81bn in bonuses was irresistible.

The mob upstairs at RBS who exiled you with your rapidly deteriorating lunch have had £4bn in bonuses since the crash. Do they deserve our money more than Britain’s disabled? Or Britain’s students who are now charged to learn? Is that fair?

They were some of the questions I was hoping to ask your boss – but we got no joy through the “proper channels” so we decided to just show up.

Not just to RBS, but also to Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays. I know that the regular folk on the floor aren’t guilty of this trick against ordinary people; they’re like anyone, trying to make ends meet. As you point out though, it’s hard to get to the men at the top so we were forced into door-stopping and inadvertent lunch spoiling. The good news is that this film and even this correspondence will reach hundreds of thousands of people and they’ll learn how they’re being conned by the financial industry and turned against one another - that’s got to be a good thing, even if it makes me look a bit of a twit in the process and the national dish of Spain is eaten sub-par.

Now I’ll be the first to admit your lunch has been an unwitting casualty in this well-intentioned quest but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to ask new RBS boss Ross McEwan if he thinks it’s right that he got a £3.2m “golden hello” when the RBS is sellotaped together with money that comes from everyone else’s taxes. I wonder what he would’ve said? Or whether it’s right that Fred “the shred” (he shredded evidence of impropriety) Goodwin gets to keep his £320k a year pension while disabled people have had their independent living fund scrapped.

And it’s not just RBS mate. Lloyds, Barclays, Citibank and HSBC have all been found guilty of market rigging and not one banker has been jailed.

Trillions of public money lost and stolen and no one prosecuted. Remember in the riots when disaffected youth nicked the odd bottle of water or a stray pair of trainers? Criminal, I agree. 1800 years worth of sentences were meted out in special courts, to make an example. Some crime doesn’t pay, but some crime definitely does. My school mate Leigh Pickett, a fireman is being told that he and his colleagues won’t be able to collect their pension until five years later than agreed, five more years of backbreaking, flame engulfed labour – why? Because of austerity.
Put simply Jo, the banks took the money, the people paid the price.

I was there to ask a few questions to the guilty parties, now I know that’s not you, you’re just a bloke trying to make a crust and evidently you like that crust warm - but again, it wasn’t me who locked the RBS, I just asked a few difficult questions and the place went nuts. The people that have inconvenienced homeowners, pensioners, the disabled and ordinary working Brits are the same ones who inconvenienced you that lunchtime. They’ve got a lot to hide, so they locked the doors. You said my “agro demeanor” reminded you of school. Your letter reminded me of school too, when the teacher would say, “because Russell’s been naughty, the whole class has to stay behind”.

I’d never knowingly keep a workingman from his dinner, it’s unacceptable and I do owe you an apology for being lairy.

So Jo, get in touch, I owe you an apology and I’d like to take you for a hot paella to make up for the one that went cold – though you could say that was actually the fault of the shady shysters who nicked the wedge and locked you out, I’d rather err on the side of caution. When I make a mistake I like to apolgise and put it right. Hopefully your bosses will do the same to the people of Britain.

How would we all think about our dead girlfriends being kept alive to produce kids? Maybe its more complex than an initial view, buts its not too much more complex. Would we keep dead men alive because they can produce sperm?

The woman is dead anyhow. If some good can come out of the tragedy by producing a hopefully healthy baby, surely that's a good thing?

Does Gillian Anderson annoy anyone else. Really hate her over serious personality in everything

[ComradeCollie]

Even the health minister essentially (and I use this term liberally; but he is clearly commenting on this case) being in support of the case for her being allowed to die?

He's 'clearly' commenting on this case only because the Indo has managed to mash two separate stories together

How would we all think about our dead girlfriends being kept alive to produce kids? Maybe its more complex than an initial view, buts its not too much more complex. Would we keep dead men alive because they can produce sperm?

I'd consider it much like organ donation, though the time involved would make it difficult

Bear in mind that all her family disagree with the decision

[6starpool]

Is it not the woman's choice though? Or at least her family's, who have all said she should be allowed to die.

If it was my family member, while I would certainly understand that viewpoint, I would imagine I would be in favour of giving the child every chance of life in that situation where the mother is beyond recovery.

Surely this is just a horrific statement?
