Yeah. I feel really powerful because I'll lost my ability to work where I like and travel where I like.

Go nationalism!

Way to misinterpret things @Job. But as long as your worldview is safe...

It's mad that the Aussie captain can sit there and say how "not on" blatant ball tampering is but that he went ahead and let it happen anyway. Sorry, not him, the team's "leadership group".

Made a sausage casserole earlier

Herb sausages cooked in rosemary, black pepper and coarse sea salt, with potatoes, chicken stock, pearl barley, lentils, butter beans, peas, pepper, onion, and tomatoes. Cayenne chilli and hot smoked paprika added a little kick.

Tasted amazing

Give recipe?

Sure. I'll need to type it up anyway as a couple of friends have asked for it too.

If you haven't got it by Good Friday remind me.

Problem is with that methodology is that in the US you’re also four times more likely to be killed in a car accident than in the U.K...

I just wonder what it is like there. Is she just doing that to a tv screen? The other stuff looks green screened.

The whole blackwashing anti pc argument around BBC/Netflix The fall of Troy with a black Achilles is just hilarious. Comments saying they are trying to rewrite history. Counter arguments saying that he would have been black. It's a fucking story (Homer's Odyssey) and he (Achilles) might have had blond hair but does it bloody matter, bit of artistic license to an epic fantasy story about a demigod.

For those that have not seen any of this:

People have nothing better to do than argue over stupid shit.

FYI I went to Youtube to see the trailer after being told it was worth a look.

Got to be honest, I find it irritating. Its really easy to slip into the view "oh its only mythology, so it doesn't really matter" (and there are millions of counter-examples of whitewashing, Gods of Egypt being an obvious recent example), but with the BBC they actually have a duty to "Educate, Entertain and Inform", and by implying Greek legendary characters are sub-Saharan Africans, they're failing in that duty. Apart from anything else, if they don't want to cast Anglo actors, how about picking people who actually look Greek or Turkish?

If you want to do mythology with black actors, do black mythology. American Gods does it incredibly well and appropriately to the story, rather than scoring cheap diversity points.

IKEA is the shop I hate going to more than any other, but you have to be pretty determined not to use the place. We have IKEA furniture and storage in the kids’ playroom and my son’s bedroom because it will only be needed for a few years before it gets replaced, and IKEA is perfect for that.

Anything that you need to last more than 3 years, go somewhere else.
