Oh and first, unlike my team who are struggling.
Mayonnaise with everything for me.
However now that you can get spreadable butter, that is far superior and margarine can go in the bin as far as I'm concerned.
Yes I know you can get things to keep butter out of the fridge. No I don't have one and am not interested in one, I'll stick to spreadable butter thanks.
The modern Conservative Party has no objection to atheists, like Crispin Blunt, or republicans like Douglas Carswell.

The butter
And brought it to
His Majesty;
The King said,
"Butter, eh?"
And bounced out of bed.
"Nobody," he said,
As he kissed her
Tenderly,
"Nobody," he said,
As he slid down the banisters,
"Nobody,
My darling,
Could call me
A fussy man -
BUT
I do like a little bit of butter to my bread!"
Hence modern Conservative Prime Ministers and leaders enjoy much greater theatrical displays of loyalty before they're dispatched than Labour, for instance, and the Conservatives have also been the ones much more wedded to the theatrical aspect of the monarchy and state , since Victoria.
Needed a rest after a latish lunch, and now it's effing dark.
On a historical note, in the 1955 election Brownrigg lost (368 votes, more than double his 1951 vote) to one William Whitelaw (23,274 votes). So at least it was close.
Butter is nicer but also an absolute pain for being unspreadable, and I don't actually care all that much.
Instead of putting oil in the pan, the mayonnaise on the outside of the bread browns very nicely, and is far less overwhelming (or unhealthy).
This means you lot will get the pleasure of my constant posting for about the next six hours.
Hopefully there will be decent internet.
These are the people who celebrate trying to make tea with cold harbour water.
Truly the past is a foreign country.
ANA is in my bad books already. There was I, chilling in the lounge, when it was announced that the flight was boarding.
So, I pack my things and wander down to the gate. And you know what... the plane is not boarding, and won't be for another 15 to 20 minutes.

Blunt is a monarchist and Carswell was in UKIP when last an MP NOT the Tory Party he certainly never once mentioned backing a republic for the brief period he was a Tory MP and indeed he now lives in the US. Though while Republicans there may not want the monarchy back they certainly won't be atheists, especially in Mississippi where he is based.
So you cannot be an atheist and republican and a Tory anymore than you can be in the Labour Party and want to privatise the NHS and fund healthcare entirely by private health insurance and ban trade unions
Thankfully we know better now.
Like the myths that fats are bad for you, or that vegetables are necessary, both of which some still persist with to this day.
Edit: It's from When we were very young.
Here is the whole thing:

A delightful Morrocan breakfast in a pension in the medina of Tangier. Delightful, except for the hard margerine. And not supermarket spread, but old fashioned cooking margerine.
Of course, butter would be too expensive. But I left the marge.

Where are you flying from?If it melts too much, the house is perhaps too warm.
If it needs to come out of the fridge in summer, long enough in the warming drawer for me to make a cup of real coffee is just about right.
Different people's bodies do react differently to different foodstuffs, I completely agree with that. I would not propose my diet for everyone.
The problem is for too long people did advocate one size fits all nonsense about having to eat five a day of vegetables, avoiding fats, and all that bullshit which doesn't work for many, many people - and has led to epidemics of obesity and diabetes.
Over a year now as a carnivore and I don't look back or miss vegetables at all and am in the healthiest condition I've been in a very long time, and probably avoided diabetes which runs in my family as a result.
You can tell it's Sunday.
The Tories get to choose their policies, even if some are more likely than others.
This is the recipe I use, but with twice as many blackberries and half as much sugar. I also mash it with a potato masher on several days to get all the flavour, and make a chutney with the residue.

It used to have lots of comments on it going back to 2008, including from me. And alas! the chutney recipe is gone from the comments - will have to look up the version I printed.
Chuckleberries are a combination of red current, blackcurrant and gooseberry, and are far tarter than I expected, so I'll ramp up the sugar a bit to get something properly sweet and sour.
Best served with Yorkshire puds as dessert, or on Bero pancakes. Or as a salad dressing.
Without googling, can anyone guess where it is?
I do have a couple of blocks of cheap salted and unsalted in the fridge, for cooking with
Eg I prefer Wombling Merry Christmas to Fairytale of New York. It's plain wrong, I know it is, does me no PR favours, but it's the case.
I think the former is one of the most underrated Christmas tracks ever, and the latter one of the most overrated.
Sorry not sorry.
I may have been born with Hilters bombs dropping on our neighbours with deadly effect, lived through his much vaunted 50's with rationing and the like, but being alive today is a privilege with so much to be grateful for and being largely enlightened from religious bigotry
I am not a conservative in his eyes, even though I have given the party decades of support, and, strangely never met anyone like him who insults so many conservative because they are not pure in his judgement or are enthralled by Reform and Farage as he is
I'd say the best way to lower divorce rates would be more marriage courses and marriage counselling.
Marriage is hard and we've had some tough moments. We still hark back to the all weekend marriage course the CofE ran for us before we got hitched in our local church, which we still find useful.
Allergic to it.
On the way back, I take off at 9pm Tuesday... and land at 2pm Tuesday.
No, only joking. Close tho

Following on from Bart's post on Liverpool odds for the title, they're now down to 17/20, or 1.97 on betfair. Well done to those who backed them at 8/1 at start of season, bookies expected Arsenal to be the main challenger, prob thinking the Klopp departure would take effect there. I can't see Arsenal having the consistency to challenge over the season, Man City's aging squad and injuries are taking their toll.
In the championship Leeds look short at 8/13, I like the look of Burnley at 12/1 (bet 365), they're only 2 points behind
In league 1 Birmingham have stumbled lately, the top 2 can be backed at 9/2 Wycombe, and Wrexham 14/1 (Hills) both look decent
And also, when did you eat this margarine?
Tony Campolo died about a fortnight ago, and I don't think I mentioned it. He was a Usonian fundamentalist turned evangelical who turned left not right, and stirred up that wing of the churches to social action - others would dismiss it as "social gospel".
He gave my favourite typology of black-led and white-led churches.
"In a white-led church, the preacher is the performer and the congregation are the audience. In a black-led church, the preacher is the conductor, the congregation are the performers, and God is the audience."

The Sydney to Tokyo was with ANA and they were excellent
The return was with BA who were average
1) Cheapskates;
2) People who are dieting.

Tbf, their pilots are top-notch. But being the flag-carrier is doing an awful lot of lifting for them.
