Also prefer a pasta that holds shape better for it. I use Mezzi Rigatoni

Convinced Jamie's had me here because I swear I invented this. Fuming 😂 And no one's keen when I explain it.
I include diced green chillies, finely chopped broccoli (esp the stalks) and some garlic.
The chilli heat + mint tingle/cool + salty/oily pancetta is a fucking divine combo.

Perfect lazy Sunday 👌🏻

Not being funny but this stuff - along with what Starmer came out with, going beyond what the Supreme Court judgement said - has been an LGBT equivalent of the LBC Gaza interview for Labour. There is a lot of anger over this. It's also not really clear what upside there is for them saying any of it.

The blocks around where photo #1 and #4 are taken are regularly used as a stand-in filming location for NYC/NYC-inspired fictional cities!

I don't know why I do it to myself

(In response to which the promise to myself was 'I'll go twice as often and look less of a scruff' but no, here I am having waited seven weeks again).

Major plus of moving from the city to the suburbs is being able to get a decent haircut for half the price.

Phenomenal spring vibes in Manchester today

The serotonin tsunami of finally stepping out for a lunchtime walk in shorts.

I prefer 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘢 thank you 😂

Queue full of people tutting behind me as I'm stood at the till, nonchalantly filling in forms for my brand new Ryman rewards card. All to save a total one pound forty nine pence on a pack of A4 paper.

Potential power moves are everywhere once you know how to spot them.

They must've left it unlocked (which is wild in itself)

Come out of Sainsburys with the Christmas food shop. Get to the car and fill the boot up to the brim. Come round to climb in and... where the fuck did this blanket on the passenger seat come from? And why is there a crate on the backs-

We're sat in somebody else's fucking car.

Wonder what the overlap is between the commentators who think Farage will be the next PM and that Labour are planning to imminently defenestrate Starmer. Can't be both, but they're both definitely popular stories among those going through chaos withdrawal.

Came to do the annual all-in-one-go Christmas shopping mad dash at the Trafford Centre.

So far I've made it as far as the All Bar One for a pint and some small plates.

Sharing for anyone who needs to hear this as much as I did 😂

Sunset in Manchester is, finally, a whole minute *later* today than it was yesterday.

Oop I've

A Morrisons!

In the latest episode of "I'm getting older and duller'; I spend my Saturday sussing out the big supermarket closest to the house I'm buying.

Sundayed pretty hard today

Nate Silver on twitter: “yeah sorry but Bluek*y seems terrible […]”

The funniest thing here is Silver saying this while knowing that he can’t even write out the word ‘bluesky’ on the platform he presumably considers superior because he knows if he does his message will be suppressed.

What is your 10/10 album?

😂

Had friends literally over the road but they moved away last week! Everything's lined up perfectly to be as frustrating as possible 😂

Had no idea rental was an option! Looks cheap. But would need delivery as I don't drive. Will look into it, cheers!
