Alcohol could be a good solution for this. Except that wine and beer are often not even vegetarian never mind vegan. So then you turn to heroin, which is plant based and vegan.

These 3 non vegans now talk about the place and the food like it is the second coming of Jesus, best food they've had and so on. There's a lot that goes into those memories apart from the actual food.
and that they got it for free.

I hold special reverence now to occasions and things where someone else has paid for it, which I guess is a mark of a true Dad.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

That old Rory Stewart two-parter on Afghanistan is wonderful (well, I've only watched the first part so far). It was made in 2012 and in giving an analogy for an historical incident he says "That would be like Britain leaving Afghanistan after 10 years and handing control back to the Taliban!"
I'm going to listen to his book on his time as a deputy governor of an Iraqi province. I just really like the guy.

Far too excited to discover there's a new FitBit badge for going over 25,000 steps.
I was thinking on the evenings walk in between hearing Richard Osman's ideal meal about a recent 'shake things up' personal philosophy. Well mini philosophy or even smaller than that.
I was cycling back from Dundrum a month ago and lifted by hands from the handlebar for a moment and felt a fission of excitement. And this stuck with me a bit: how childishly excited I was about something that was a standard part of childhood. Maybe I've become too cloistered too grown up too risk averse.
And I was thinking about it as the holidays were approaching and past holidays and wondering - maybe I've become the family member who says no. Who sits on the deckchair rather than slip down the pool slide. Not that those things are important, but it's more what that means for everything else in life.
Anyway, I don't want to end this as a redemption story, but I resolved for this holiday to say yes to everything. To be the grump for nothing. One notable event was being at the top of an 18 metre platform and jumping off attached to a rope. Something I would have previously looked at and sniggered at the idea of someone doing. And on the ground I was there like a kid thinking fuck yeah.
Maybe it's about how we can get into a rut or patterns that aren't what we want. I've only scratched the surface of the idea but going to try to pay more attention to it."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

If the US FDA is now moving from 'emergency use' to 'full authorisation' for Pfizer (with presumably the same to follow for the other vaccines), that provides legal cover for employers to mandate that their employees must be vaccinated. Indeed some companies and indeed state organisations e.g. the US armed forces, are now starting to do this.
Do we think we'll see the same here? Completely different employer-employee balance of power obv."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I've made a similar point before, either here, or on boards. That the vegan-esque view that all animals are equal is absurd. They simply aren't. Killing a spider is not the same as killing a tiger.
And of we do say it's equal, then we should see beef as more-acceptable than say seafood. A cow provides 1000 portion, where as a marinara could have 10-20 creatures in it. Yet some how the pescatarians have managed to brand themselves as being semi-considerate, vegetarian-lite types. That one makes no sense - "they can't feel pain" is a bit of a cop of.
The reality is, we view bigger animals are being more important. A elephant or whale suffering pull on the heart strings more than a mouse or a sardine. That sorts of cancels out the portons provided from a cow vrs a chicken to be equally amoral choices. But I do wonder how many mice and insects have to be shredded by archricultural equipment to make certain veg be a non-zero contribution.
On the topic, similar to Solks. I've been doing a veggie day. Once a week only. Today in fact, haven't had meat on a thursday. Since May. Flexitarian it is I guess.

Due to the overwhelming volume of cargo coming into the US plus staff shortages from Covid sickness, a lot of offices are struggling to the point whereby they have had to stop taking on any new business. One facility in Florida alone has 12 warehouse lads out sick at the one time due to Covid. From what I'm hearing, a lot of people still aren't willing to work, either through fear of Covid or through to laziness as they are still getting state payments. These are due to end on Sept 1st so that may all change quite quick.
There has been some pushback due to religious/health/I'm a loon reasons but the company is holding fast. Get jabbed or GTFO. The situation in Florida is probably helping them as an example of what can happen and how it can seriously derail business if people aren't vaxxed.
No word of it happening this side of the pond yet, quite the opposite as I thought you can't legally ask somebody if they have got he vaccine?

I don't see how it's impossible to avoid. Avoiding root vegetables is just as easy, possibly easier, as avoiding meat. Accidently killing something might be manslaughter, but when it's everyday, routine and constantly, it's beyond manslaughter. Murder 3 at least.
And I'm not suggesting cabbage is as bad as steak, I'm saying that all creatures aren't equal. And taking a stance that they are ties you in a bind quickly.

It was the 2nd time we've been (other time pre-pandemic) and in both cases it was top class for quality, value and service. I think they have a few places dotted around Dublin and I'll definitely be giving them a spin again.
