This is at complete odds with how Christianity started and spread.
Do elucidate.

God seems greater than me because of his attributes.
I’d need more info on the Fairy GoD roaming the woods of Kirkcaldy before reaching a position on it’s greatness though.
If it was the middle ages you might not have needed more info on the fairy GoD though. Just as you wouldn't have needed more info on a pantheon of Greek Gods, or on a thousand other now-defunct deities. Just as a cult can graduate into a religion given time and popularity, a religion can become a cultural footnote when things go in the opposite direction.
Nothing's unique. Nothing's special. The only constant is our capacity for conceited delusion.

The cinnamon and raisin ones are a delight when cut in half, toasted and buttered.
I can see that being alright, but I'd rather just a pain aux raisins / cinnamon tbh

Bagels are shit. People need to accept this truth into their lives.

Like shards of rubber between two polystyrene ceiling tiles.
When I have cold roast chicken leftovers (basically twice a week - I know the kids will eat chicken above all else) this is my better half's absolute top pleasure. Crusty bread, salted butter, roast chicken. Anything else is a complication and annoying apparently.
I like a messy complicated sandwich, but I can get behind this one.

Top tip re tatties. Buy them from your local Polish shop. Not very environmentally sound, but they are tremendous.
I've found the fruit and veg in general to be great from most Polish and Eastern European shops. There's one in Govanhill that has a huge range of tomatoes in the summer months, and also sells those pale green peppers and yellow beans, both of which I'm partial to, and neither of which are carried by most other shops. Buying punnets of cherries, various currants, strawberries, etc. costs about half of what it does elsewhere too, and is of better quality. I make a point of going into Eastern European shops whenever I see them. Rarely disappointed.

Also, Italians are wildly fastidious about the "authenticity" of their food, but I'll bet you there are a few places in Italy that put cream in it. Carbonara just refers to the burnt bacon. Nutmeg is an outstanding addition tbf.
12 hours ago, GHF-23 said:The weird thing about the Italian fastidiousness is most of those recipes date in their present form at best from the 60s. When an Italian cultural historian pointed this out he received death threats
This is true for a lot of stuff in Italy. It's also funny how the Italian far-right like to propagate this notion of a shared cultural heritage, considering how discrete the regions used to view themselves from each other.
In terms of food I suppose if we go back far enough you could point out that tomatoes have only been there since the 16th Century, and going back further no-one in Europe had pasta either.1 -

Old boomers need to recognise that Morecambe and Wise were rank and stop clogging up Christmas TV schedules with this deception. Ditto the Two Ronnies (pretty much most acts from that time tbh)
They generally follow it up with drivel about everything from Steptoe and Son, to Dad's Army, to On the Buses, and all the way through to Only Fools and Horses by way of Open All Hours and Porridge.
Mainly shite.
Hancock's Half Hour will often get lobbed in, and while can see it's well written and performed, it doesn't mean I can't pretend it's not aged. It's not the fault of the programmes themselves sometimes; they've been copied, parodied, reworked so many times in media since that the gags are basically telegraphed from a mile off to modern eyes. It's a bit like 50s rock n' roll. I get that it was new and exciting at the time, but f**k me it's trite and route-one by today's expectations.
All that said, we don't always move onwards an upwards. There will always be enough actual simpletons in the world that Mrs Brown's Boys will have a large audience.1 -

I'm glad he came up anyway though. Particularly here on a football forum. I remember the shite that passed for a lot of TV in the 90s, and there were plenty of my mates who would watch total shit like They Think It's All Over simply because it was sport-related, and were in denial about it being chronically unfunny shite. I feel time has vindicated my viewpoint.

I wish I could be judged on 90 minutes worth of material.
I don't think Bill Hicks was bad but he certainly wasn't anything like as revolutionary or amazing as was made out. I remember when the videos were first circulating over here and it seemed like he was saying stuff that wouldn't have been out of place at all in a lot of the UK circuit. It might be that it was more incisive than most of what was breaking trough into the mainstream of US standup at the time, but I wouldn't know. Either way it was fine but nothing crazy. Then he died and all of a sudden was this firebrand character.
Also, I hate that "'kay? 'Kay." Rhetorical call & response shit he does in one of the shows.1 -

Global knives are good but the handle hurts my hands
They're a terrible design. The blades are fine but no better than many other knives if you're spending cash. The number of people that have fallen for Global's marketing is ridiculous.

Craig Levein's interviews are still as awful as ever I see. A disaster of a character.
A Jambo supporting friend of mine used to just sigh and say "Thin lips.... like a penis". Ever since then, whenever I see his mouth I get a flash of those little lips being the opening to a twitching hog's eye.

I used to like an unbattered half-pizza when I was a youngster. I liked the way they would put it face-down on the chips and they would embed themselves into the molten pizza-top and you could eat it al together. For this reason I always avoided ordering either a full pizza (they would fold it in half trapping the topping in the centre when wrapping) or a pizza crunch.

Not really…a good chunk of that is in the “and benefits”. The old agreement was headlined as providing $95,000 in pay and $50,000 in benefits…so this one will be about $115,000 in pay and $60,000 in benefits. That $95,000 also includes about 120 hours of overtime each year. A huge portion of that $60,000 will health care, and a decent chunk will be paid leave, which is counted twice.
I take on board the rest, but 120 hours overtime over a year is f**k all.

Sorry that just isn't true. The four Navy pilots directly saw objects and locked onto it with their radar. Quote from the hearings.
David Fravor, a former Navy commander, said he and three fellow military pilots spotted a white Tic-Tac-shaped object in 2004, hovering below their jets and just above the Pacific Ocean.
As he descended to inspect the sighting, he claimed the unidentified aircraft — which he said bore no visible rotors, wings or exhaust — began to ascend and approach his fighter jet.
He claimed that the UAP then vanished, only to reappear a few seconds later, but this time it was spotted 60 miles away.
Fravor told the committee that the technology he and his team encountered defies logical explanation.
"The technology that we faced is far superior to anything that we had," Fravor claimed. "And there’s nothing we can do about it, nothing."
I think it's fair to say that there's not been conclusive evidence though.
I will say that I like that it's a topic of wide discussion, even if I remain a sceptic. Quite enjoyed this article:

My work has this for Teams. Mine is one of myself sitting in the weans paddling pool with a can in my hand while she floats about on a unicorn thing.
A woman in the Korea office for my work had a picture of her dressed in a fairytale milkmaid's outfit, sitting on a 3-legged stool, milking a cow. A guy I worked with used to trawl the intranet creeping on honeys. You would hear him pipe up with "another in Brazil!" and shit like that.

A friendly between Dunston and Gateshead was abandoned after two cars, including a hearse, were driven into the pitch. Several men threw leaflets making accusations against several men involved with Dunston FC before fleeing in a silver car leaving the hearse abandoned on the pitch.
Here is a video of the incident
And another one
Have any P&Bers ever driven a hearse into a football pitch during a game?
Seems as though this was what was being distributed.
