What’s your excuse for doing Tory things that Tories want you to do.

Doing what the Tories want you to, isn’t a form of protest I recognise

Clearly you took to the shandy at an early age

Bin dune he was forina

No you don’t, you just don’t realise it. It isn’t a subscription you can dip in and out of. It isn’t just TV, it’s part of the fabric of the country, it’s the state broadcaster, it has other purposes aside from entertainment. It should be free of political bias in its output but it’s lost that and become propaganda for the government. It needs to be restored to what it was. As OBE said it used to be a thing to be proud of. It helped educate most of us on here when we were in school. It needs to be fought for not ditched like a subscription service. That really is Tory thinking.

The benefit of it is huge. The BBC isn’t just it’s political output. That is just a small part of what the BBC is. It needs its freedom back

You realise that is doing exactly as the likes of Dorries et al want you to do. They’ve been trying to *irony alert* defund the BBC for years, that’s why Gibb and Sharpe are there.

Technicality. They can’t sack him, they don’t employ him. He employs himself. The BBC will have a contract with the company he owns. The contract is until 2025

MOTD with no presenters at all. That’ll be a bit odd

The answer is obvious, who is running the BBC? RObbie Gibb and Richard Sharp. Look 'em up. It won't take you long to draw a conclusion

Well he does continually make an ass of himself

He's on a 5 year deal ending in 2025. I'd be shocked if the BBC weren't liable to pay the entire contract

Well £160mil would get you 5,000 staff at £30k each and that still gives you the odd £10mil spare 75,000 applications a year currently, thats 15 applicants a year each

Bun should be lightly toasted, I won't tell you how I do that as vegans might explode

Air fry. air frys, bake is a different setting

Totally disagree

You just had to tell us didn't you

You forgot unripe, they never use a ripe tomato, it's alway pinkish in colour and hard, not red, soft and full of flavour

Fairly sure it was £6mil a day not a year

Liverpool to Leeds was meant to be electrified and the lines upgraded Not happening The fastest train to Manchester from Liverpool takes an hour, its 35 miles. LOndon takes just over 2 hours its 200 miles away Jesus don't attempt it from Southport whatever you do, you'll travel through the land that time forgot, that line even still has semaphore signals. One Sunday I set off from Formby 5 hours before kick off in Blackburn (which would take me 45 mins in a car). I just about had time for a pint with @blandy before the game and I went by train because I wanted a drink. That journey required 4 changes including an hour wait in Bolton and a train from Bolton to Blackburn that seemed to be pulled by a single donkey It isn't just Wales that has these projects not happen. There are also simple cheap projects that should happen but never do Burscough has two friggin stations, two, its a very small town. It has two stations because it has an East / West line (Southport to Wigan and beyond) and a North South Line (Ormskirk to Preston) To get from Burscough to Preston, is two trains with a mile walk between the two burscough stations because those lines don't meet, the E/W one goes over the N/S one but get this, they used to meet until Beeching. Beeching axed the connection, the Burscough Curves. They just need to do a bit of remedial work and lay track / signalling, in the grand scheme of things, its pennies. The embankments are still there. SOuthport has a station with tons of platforms but only runs services out on two lines. Its infuriatingly stupid But none of that means that HS2 is a bad idea either

Either of the Ninja Foodie Dual ones. Hands down the best out there but as a consequence, also like rocking horse shit to get hold of.

You know where this is going...

I'll check later but off the top of my head 200C and 15 minutes or so

Nope, not a hint of it. Another absolute bonus. You don't even need any fat, just bung it in set temperature and time, turn once
