Not only directed at you but I am glad that we are reaching the end of this so that I don’t have to listen to anyone commentating on COVID.
I know everyone is wondering what I am taking out of the whole thing.
1- I like the idea of hand sanitisers in supermarkets before everyone paws the fresh fruit and veg.
2- I am nearly certain that 100% of people who don’t wash their hands after using the jacks also don’t use the hand sanitisers unless they are forced too.

The Clerk of the Scales objected to SEMPER AUGUSTUS, placed fourth, ridden by Paul Hanagan on the grounds of the rider failing to weigh in. SEMPER AUGUSTUS was disqualified and the placings revised as follows:...Fourth: RUM RUNNER. After being interviewed, the rider was suspended for 3 days and was not entitled to a riding fee.Turning millions into thousands

1. Supermarkets keep up the limiting numbers of people allowed in at any one time.
2. Companies continue to use virtual meetings of whatever variety for most meetups.
3. GP's/Hospitals don't go back to appointments that routinely leave you waiting for ages.
4. People don't end up back sitting in cars for hours every day.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

If i hadnt withdrawn the loot it would have been gone, as it stands after a bit of back and forward they have wiped off the negative balance

One thing I've noticed recently is that there is a lot of tapping up for 'spare change'. Last Sunday I was tapped up while cycling right past Store St garda station. This fella who I'd say was definitely not homeless asked me in a D4 sounding accent for €1. And the smell of piss from every alley way I cycled down was awful. You really see the good and bad of society on a cycle as you catch mush more. From a fella asking green foreigners are they going to the airport on O'Connell street to a womans kid who walks out of a shop and hands an elderly homeless man a litre of milk and some food.
Later I went to fill up on petrol on the CirckeK on Richmond Rd yesterday as on that previous cycle I noticed the petrol was significantly lower than the standard. For those who dont know in CirckeK you swipe at the side of the terminal rather than the front. I've fallen foul of this a few times and was put right each time but in this particular shop there's a hand written sticky at the side drawing your attention saying you need to swipe at the side. I noted to the Indian clerk that I liked his sign with a knowing nod adding it takes away having to tell everyone it's the side that you need to swipe not the front? but he said yes thank you but still they swipe at the front many times you see. Ah doesn't surprise me I say as if gainfully absorbing the blow for my stupid countrymen.
On leaving the shop a Nick Diaz type sprung out of his car in the forecourt and asked/told me could I give him a push start. His wife was already in situ at the back of the car assuming the position and I readily agreed. The both of them were at pains to say it will start straight away to help assure me I'm not likely to be pushing it up the road to Home Farm which I appreciated and took on trust. It's been like this the last few days he says. I agreed and just like that it came to life with a brief push. Diaz sticks one leg and a head out says thanks with a thumbs up and is gone on his way.
I was brought to the attention of Cheetos in Tesco. The real deal not these ones youll see in hardware stores thats produced in Lincolnshire. No these ones are made in Poland and the Poland one is Kosher Cheetos. They even have a paper label on the back of the packed saying they are Made in Poland and aren't poxy affiliates. Well this was enough to get me on the trail. There are Polish sections in Tesco I believe and they are not stocked with the regular crisps. So anyway im not sure theres a Polish section in HJ's least favorite Tesco and the Cheetos arent stocked on the shelf but I spot an unopened box on the top shelf and I reach up on tippy toes and take the box down and take a pack out making sure its got the post production while label on it and go on my way.
A week or so goes by and same situation none displayed yet the same box on top so I do the same trick. So this week fresh after my push start im going to the well again. Theres something rankling me this time though that they arent displayed on the shelf and im lookin this way and that way for a staff member about this. But theres no sign of anyone readily available. Im always weary of the efficient looking girls from eastern Europe with their hair up as your in for a hiding for nothing with a query there. If you get an answer with pursed lips then your getting away easy. Often times as soon as you ask for help you instantly regret it. This is why I reached up and hoisted the box down on the previous occasions. Well this time on entering the store I gave this black guy sweeping the floor a chance to shine. Didn't look like his English was great and looked a bit foreboding to an approach but sometimes these can surprise you. Would say he's probably not been asked anything about anything by anyone but I wouldn't like him thinking that nobody asks him a question because he sweeping the floor. I go "is there a polish section?". He's standing looking uttery shocked and I'm instantly going 'ah for fawk sake' Lawrie Mc Menemy style. Then a reprieve as suddenly 'No Polish area no Polish'. Ahhh right thanks as I pivot and reach up for the box of Cheetos once again.

sickpuppy called a poster an 'obese gay alcoholic'. That's completely out of order, under all circumstances. Nobody should be defending that, or seeking to deflect away from it.
Your posting on the other hand reads like something from the seamier reaches of Trumpworld (which is where the most nonsensical chatter about 'cancel culture' emanates from).
The rare posts I make, generally boil down to saying the same thing regard, all this stuff. That basically all anyone can say is, " I dont know ". And it's a pity polarity and the tone of communication have changed. I dont think thats Trumpy stuff, and I dont allign that way. Again, I see that as an issue that if someone takes a moderately different viewpoint, they are painted as some extreme. Normally not the case.
I thought 'cancel culture's generally was driven by snowflakey elements of extreme left, again, ultimately who knows. Generally enjoy your posts, no beef my end anywho.

Dont worry lads you are approaching early middle age. It's the new Male menopause. Couple that with trying to cope with the over intellectualism of new woke directives and a new buzz word every few weeks , is probably boiling our piss unnecessarily. We probably all sit in similar camps and the conversation verbage would be completely different 10 years ago on similar topics.
Disclaimer. I have no idea what I'm trying to say here .

tbf your posts have always tended to be on the Finnegans Wake end of the spectrum so maybe it meant something else in your head, in which case let us know what that was."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Tom Hickey was a larger than life presence in my life growing up, a consummate artist and all round good guy. RIP
When I turned up the radio this morning to have my father hear that the death of his old friend was the headline story in the news, he seemed shocked and then when I said that Tom must be nearly 80 he laughed at me dismissively 'What are you on about, sure Tom is 15 years younger than me' so I said oh really so what age would you say he was ? In his 30's he replied with a 'Like D'oh!' look on his face.
This is amazing!

Guest I think the conflicting mask advice was down to a couple of things, 1) they don’t work to stop you getting it which was the initial advice, but they realised that people who had COVID didn’t spread it as much when they wore masks so the advice to wear them was to stop the wearing spreading it rather than stopping them getting it.

- use a stainless steel pan to get the right crispiness
- use a water test to know its at the right temperature (a teaspoon of water should go in a bubble and skate on the surface when its the right temperature)
- only add oil after the pan reaches the right temperature
- very generously season food before cooking in a pan as salt is what gets the flavour out
- cook once each side listening to the sizzle to know its cooking properly
Heres the water test direct from Rouxbe:
I cooked chicken only seasoned with salt and pepper and a bit of lemon juice afterwards, and it was widely proclaimed as ridiculously good. So whatever about those individual instructions, it seems to have worked."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Personally i love the way he plays the game, he is the greatest matchplayer ever imo and is about to win his fourth world title at 37. Be a pretty boring sport if everyone played the same. What he doesn't get anywhere enough credit for is his actual break building prowess, you dont win multiple world titles by just being dour and goos at safety, he's a far more complete player than that.

I pay for courses and teaching all the time. On any subject 99.9% percent of the information is available on Google, but you are paying for it to be wrapped up neatly for you, and the act of paying for it means you are much more likely to pay attention and really take the information in. In hitches case I'd imagine the dish being complented was worth far more than whatever the cost of the course is.
PSV I think you need to spend some time with your bare feet in the grass. It would do you the world of good.

Yeah! I guess its all really obvious. Just wasn't too me. Had never even considered the basic idea of pan heat, despite it seeming obvious with hindsight. Probably the first time I ever cooked anything was aged 19 in student digs and it involved shoving things in a pot and hoping for the best. Have improved that over the years, but its still all based on following recipes and without any underlying skills of the basics of how cooking works.

Go to my sisters house and she would have this mouth wateringly tasty dish in pastry with an amazing sauce.

$10 is nothing tbf.
Most good home cooking is just a sequence of relatively simple steps. But only really apparent when you know what they are.
Although an asterisk to hot pan rule is that it’s dependent on what your cooking. For example, pan fried duck breast should be started with breast in a cold pan, heated slowly.
