  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. MOTD with no presenters at all. That’ll be a bit odd
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Bun should be lightly toasted, I won't tell you how I do that as vegans might explode
  9. Air fry. air frys, bake is a different setting
  10. You forgot unripe, they never use a ripe tomato, it's alway pinkish in colour and hard, not red, soft and full of flavour
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. I'll check later but off the top of my head 200C and 15 minutes or so
  14. 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
  15. That is part of the reason why you put the BBQ sauce on the bun and separate it from the burger with a slice of cheese for flavour separation
  16. The air fryer seals the burger really well, the fats don't run out so it retains its original size and shape and it full of flavour due to the retained fat. Honestly, its a complete game changer.
  17. They've been doing that since day 1. When the Kadyrovites were on the battlefield before they got reduced to sod all and the prick had to run back to Chechnya, that was their job. They are called barrier troops, you run forward as told and take your chances or definitely get shot dead if you retreat. Standard Russian military doctrine.
  18. The Chef is now claiming that Putin has "cut him off"
  19. No, I really mean it, they don't shrink very much at all, still very moist inside and full of flavour due to the retained fats We've only had the air fryer a couple of months and it's been an absolute revelation for stuff like burgers. Best thing we've bought for the kitchen for years, we use it probably three times a week now and definitely more than the conventional oven If someone else had posted what I said, I wouldn't have believed them either
