Hopefully there's more of the Allegra Straton vid to come, I'd be surprised if that was the only difficult question they asked her in the trial press conference.

When you artificially constrain the price of something you both increase the demand and decrease the supply.

Strong rumors that there are videos of Carrie and Bozo 'carrying on' at this particular party, expect to see their leaking timed to have maximum effect whichever side of the report he hopes to brushoff best serves the leakers agenda (I wouldn't rule out that it's being controlled by his side).Turning millions into thousands

Anyone go into pharmacy's much?. Is it common for mothers to organise and discuss their daughters pill prescription with the pharmacy?.
I was in the other day for a hot pack for my neck and I got to the door first just ahead of a woman. I stepped inside and held the door open for her and we were the only ones in the shop. She does a double take at the pharmacist and me back and forth a few times as if to say who are you going to deal with first me me me is it?. I made it easy I said you go ahead gwan which was well received.
I sidle down to browse and see can I see the hotpacks when she opens loudly talking turkey about this and that about ''THE DAUGHTERS PILL PRESCRIPTION" in full voice unabashed. A lot to discuss it seems. A seemingly ordinary woman too. Maybe thats not taboo at all!?
For a brief moment I was going shit if I would have just went first id be in and out and she would have a bit of privacy. Then I said to myself shut up because it was clear she didn't give a shit me hearing.

That's about 1/3 he's gone and the prices based on when the report is expected to drop.
I'm the worst punter of political bets ever bbut on the basis of 'If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well It were done quickly' adding in the possibility of videos emerging and the special mix of uselessness and naked ambition represented by Liz Truss and the 9/2 is tempting.Turning millions into thousands

Although a lot of them owe their careers to Boris. There's probably a lot of them who would have stabbed May in the front without a blink but know their fortunes are inextricably linked with those of Boris himself. Tricky."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Here's a story where it was being discussed in the Dail 6 years ago."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

MUP got mentioned and debated on this thread multiple times over the years - every time it was discussed in the dail, when the EU case was brought, when Scotland brought it in, when Roisin Shortall became a minister and then resigned. It's kind of weird dobs that last December was the first you'd heard of it.

The only argument (but i presume there are others) that i've heard in favour of the increase going to the manufacturer is to compensate for the presumed drop in sales post MUP. A certain logic perhaps but i'm not sure if it's strong enough to make doubters "ignorant." We didn't look after the cigarette companies in the same way.

I bought an aeropress. There seems to be a range of thoughts on the best way to use it. On the box itself it calls for a ten second brew with a small bit of water and filling the cup up with extra water after. I found that method left me with too little flavour for my liking. I saw a video on youtube where the guy poured 200ml of water over the coffee and leaving it for 2 mins before plunging and that gave me a result more to my liking.
Any tips on how to get the best out of it? I remember Strewelpeter talking about using it upsidedown or something?

I could google it obviously but just a bit lazy
Unless she hasn't increased it in a few years, in which case it is the lower of inflation or 2% per year that it wasn't increased.

I was in a with a friend the other day who lives in a house with half a dozen other alcoholics who would be an interesting case study for the effectiveness of the measure, none of them have anything more than the minimum SW income coming in and the bulk of all the money that comes into the house is spent on alcohol. The new prices are already having a big impact in that house (apparently in particular with one lad who is on a couple of bottles of spirits a day) I wouldn't read too much into it for the moment but the unvarnished truth is that over the next few months this is going to play out as trade offs between booze and food or other essentials. Other possibilities are that there will be reduced consumption or maybe some people will find a bit of work to top up their spending power. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in the medium term. My friend would be mostly very honest about his behaviour and while I wouldn't judge the success or failure of the measure just on these lads it will be an interesting insight into how it plays out.
This is an experiment that has a very clear intent of reducing consumption amongst a particular cohort and now that its here it needs to be tested and measured objectively IMHO those people who are spouting dumbass memes decrying the measures and trying to have it closed down because they have to pay a few quid more for a bag of cans are either morons or heading off down the road to join the lads.Turning millions into thousands
