LadBaby criticising The Kunts for not being positive enough about the government in their no.5 hit single ‘Boris Johnson Is STILL A Fucking C**t’ is where the discourse is tonight.

There being no 'Real Ireland' thread it goes here, British Isles is near enough:

BBC News reports on manufacturing downsizing: not e.g. "Multinational grocery leader Unilever to cut 1,500 jobs worldwide" or "Consumer-goods behemoth Unilever to cut 1,500 jobs worldwide" or anything like that, but rather "Marmite maker Unilever to cut 1,500 jobs worldwide".

"The Marmite-to-Domestos maker" is even weirder

There's a definite market for a 'Real Scotland' thread:

i saw that one and what bothers me most is the roll looks unbuttered

from what you can see the pie doesn't look too promising either, which is supposed to be what they are good at. It looks like that kind of rubbery flexible pastry you get from Iceland frozen pies!

Immediate saliva gland desiccator, would not eat even if it was meat-free (which it almost certainly isn't)

I conclude with chunky fish finger sandwich with mushy peas is better than anything I've ever had to eat at a football ground.

the only football related good food I ever had was at a cafe near Lincoln City's ground in 2003. And this was when I was still a vegetarian and it was just basically a vegetarian hotdog in some amazing bread and it cost me £1.50!

You get decent food outside a ground but fuck eating anything you get overcharged for in there

my stepdad always used to pack a thermos flask full of red wine and a lunch pack of usually scotch eggs/pork pies/tesco sandwiches at home games, cos that is called The Knowledge.

a roll and pie with lots of butter and brown sauce is a delicacy, I was horrified at the thought the first time I was offered it and then became a devotee upon trying it

Royal souvenirs have 'Platinum Jubbly' misprint

Not to be a purist but a 'hot dog' connotes some kind of sausage, right? Not just breaded pollock

The term dog has been used as a synonym for sausage since the 1800s, possibly from accusations that sausage makers used dog meat in their sausages

sausage dogs should be called dog dogs imo

I think vegetarian hot dogs are fine in fact better than dog meat or the mechanically separated poultry or god knows what else they put in the meat ones.

Hey that’s just up the road from here, I keep thinking about adding it to the “horribly formed names” thread, except it’s good not horrible.
