Slow news day, or end of the world?

”Aggressive” new variant has landed in Moscow. Makes people, even those that have been vaccinated, more poorly than previous types.

Time for Uncle Joe to push the button? Short term pain.

Are they being taught at an all inclusive holiday resort?? What the fuck

Don't all secondary schools nowadays? They have a card we top up to pay for their food and the canteen runs during the day, but the have a lunch break.

I thought it was because there is a sixth form on site they ran all day until after second lunch.

The school has two lunch breaks, one for years 7-9, one for years 10-11.

You don't you all sniff benzocaine heavy bing pretending you're millionaires - before tottering down Winter Hey Lane to the Co-op to buy Amber Leaf, various scratchcards and cider, then travel a thousand miles to work because Camberwick Green has no jobs, hillbillies and racists live there. It's a no-good two bob enclave for bigots and the faux posh living on credit.

They’re advertising for staff at the Subway near where the Greenwood used to be.

So who looks a cunt now then, eh? Eh? EH?

You, for thinking "there's a few too many p*kis here in GL, I'm going to go and reside in Sun City aka Horwich, it's more or less full of scrubbers, but they are um paleface scrubbers" and my house here is worth 20p.

I'm going to start a scheme to move loads of brown people asylum seekers up to Summer Isle (Horwich) and then flog sheets and hoods and crosses with barbecue fluid and rags attached to the local folk to keep it local, fucking hillbillies.

Enter any pub in Horwich and it's like The Slaughtered Lamb crossed with a KKK rally. They stick to their own up there.

But you can pay £8 for a tin of hipster piss off someone who lives about twenty miles from the shithole.

And you can dine at an Albanian run 'Greek' restaurant and do line-dancing in one of the two hundred pubs because Horwich residents are racist pisspots.

Is correct - lunch ffs, are folk having cucumber sandwiches in the Queen's backyard? Anyone born and bred in the North who says lunch for dinner and dinner for tea should be ashamed of themselves.

Dinner comes from the Normans - or rather the French, its to do with it being the first meal of the day which is why in certain parts it got superseded by luncheon.

Always thought it was odd, given the south's closer ties to the Normans. 

Anyway, I'm sure there is a proper reason if someone can be bothered. As it is, I'm off for my breakfast. I take it I can still say that without being spat upon a linguistic pike for betraying my roots.

The bloke who runs Sokrates is only half Albanian.

And I never owned a house in G/L, I was proper scum. You lot up near the Dell were the biggest ponces in the borough. Just because you had big bay windows and got burgled at least 3 times a month made you think you could swan around the parish like Lord Shit.

The thought of leaving fills your mind but you won’t because you still dream that a white supremacist will come along one day and drive the brown folk out like St Patrick did with the snakes.

We never got burgled - my old man would lay intricate traps Home Alone style. We also had savage dogs trained to kill by jabbing them with cheese knife. I meant your Horwich lair was worth 20p, we did own GL our lot, woe betide Tonge Moor scum who darkened our door. I have no idea why but we'd fight anyone from Tonge Moor on sight, when the fair was on the grass behind Le Mans Crescent it'd usually end in a Quadrophenia punch up. We allied with Farnworth and New Bury lads to fight that menace.

I really hate liver and vividly remember having it at Primary School, fucking awful stuff. I've tried it again as an adult and still can't get on with it at all....same with kidneys, fucking grim

A general rule of thumb is do NOT eat organs.

Anyone not eating offal is missing out massively

I'll eat some, I'll happily eat the likes of black pudding or haggis, I'm just not keen on Liver, Lungs, Brains, Kidneys or Heart.

Indonesian Liver Curry is a thing of wonder (always calf not pig) soak in milk to draw out the blood. I'd regularly eat heart and tripe as a kid, and my mum would make steak and cowheel pie and stick kidney in. I had trotters for the first time at a Colombian's house about eight years ago, they were alreet - the toenails were a bit off-putting but get past that and it wasn't bad. I also ate sweetbreads as a kid - which I later found out were bulls' bollocks.

I also think I was fed sheep brain a few times.

We used to have sheep’s brain on toast as kids.
