Nothing wrong with that.

Agree, we should have been paying attention years ago.

I wouldn't mind but it chips easily and stains something rotten.

I used to pick pieces up cheap at boot sales, clean it up then sell on eBay.

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X in c/[email protected]

Overdue - more national media needs to take this step.

The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.

It's not like they weren't warned though.

Donald Trump has been invited to address UK parliament, says Nigel Farage in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

If he can call John Bercow a "ghastly little pipsqueak", I can call him a frog eyed twat.

'Ghastly little pipsqueak' is telling though isn't it? He so really, really wants to be seen as one of the upper class. What with his choice of wardrobe and all. And I bet the septics lap it up, they think it's real. Like the orange criminal they've chosen as president.

Best get the balloon ready if the King of Cheetos is coming here.

I managed to swear and wave the middle finger at him last time. Doubt that he saw me though, what with being in Marine One and about a thousand feet over my head.

It's the thought that counts though.

How do I make my bread really dark? (beehaw.org)
 

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.
