Why I hate the Daily Mail, as distilled into one edition

it's basically mashed up and reconstituted chips then yeah?

Farl is more like mashed up and reconstituted newspaper tbh.

Hey, if they printed the news on a farl, you could read it while you're having your breakfast.

i have definitely eaten newspaper during some of my weirder acid trips

it tasted like ................ WORDS

....and nicely back on topic

If you ate the Daily Mail while on acid, would you turn into a right wing immigrant hating paranoid conspiracy theory believing right winger? Like in Black Books when Manny swallows The Little Book Of Calm?

daily mail tasted like shit for some reason :/

I tht "farl" was just Irish/Scottish for a slice, especially of a small round loaf, not necessarily potato bread. Wheaten farls > potato farls > soda farls

I dunno if potato bread is un-screw-up-able, even just buying the instant ready-sliced packages I've turned them into little charred beermats as often as they've come out well, but maybe that is my fault for buying instant anything (but potato bread is for when you are looking for a carby addition to greasy hungover fryup and not thinking about cooking anything from scratch, surely)

^ knows what's up

through some flour through yesterday's mash, tbh, then into a hot pan.

potato farl = ordinary person's potato scone, yes?

it appears so. but it's not a scone so i would encourage the use of 'farl' if possible.

potato farls are a decent alternative soakage to have with a fried egg or whatever as opposed to bread...they are fairly nice ime, I buy them in the shops once every few months. tho to be honest these days i tend to go for a greasy spoon out instead of ever cooking bacon/eggs etc at home, it means I have a fry less often.

course then you have the ulster variation, where you get a slice of fried brown soda bread. reason enough for the troubles right there imo, an abomination before god.

our god, that is, not their god. i'm sure he doesn't mind.

^lol

Come on, Myleene, put that knife down!

No matter that the whole thing is bullshit and the police didn't say anything to her about a knive let's just have another go at this broken britain crap from my gated community in Florida.

Could we be in for 30 years of global COOLING?

Probably not.

I am far too English to be allowed opinions on these matters but wheaten bread is A+++ and I miss it. Frying it does seem a bit much though. I think the Ulster fries I've had have generally come with fried potato and/or white soda bread on the plate with unfried wheaten bread on the side.

(I think wheaten bread is the same thing as brown soda bread, everyone in NI calls it wheaten bread except the M&S own brand)

don't tell the NN thread that not only do I still eat bread and dairy but I am happy to combine the two by tipping a few hundred calories of buttermilk into the bread dough

Catch me within 500 miles of a NN thread.

ned i know that you lurve the police, and that crime is something invented by malicious right-wingers to discredit the already imperilled utopia gordon brown has given us, but why believe the official claim over klass's?

I am far too English to be allowed opinions on these matters

agreed

wheaten bread is A+++

agreed!

Frying it does seem a bit much though

srsly tho

read NN as NI there in both posts and was confused

It's true I think we have the best police service in the world, not perfect by any means, just not as bad as everyone elses. And it's totally plausible that some copper gave the wrong advice to Klasse (and a lot of them think like the DM that it's all gone too far in the criminals favour and it'd be wine and roses if we could just give them a clip round the ear'ole like in the good old days and so could have deliberately told her some nonsense) but that doesn't change the fact that Mylene Klass made an terrible album of classical piano and should not be trusted.

this was a good spot, from the mail's science correspondent:

one soon forgets that zombies, so far, exist only in the imagination.

re Tim, UK's comment reprinted there ("the UK IS STILL WHITE AND STILL ENGLISH SPEAKING!") - is there any or has there ever been any BBC programming that's not in English, Gaelic or Welsh?

xp
he obviously didnt read the mail's helpful and non-judgemental guide to voodoo therapy last month.

a lot of them think like the DM that it's all gone too far in the criminals favour

Missed this (no doubt it'll come round again in a couple of days) but I think that's part of the problem. The self-defence laws haven't changed recently, in fact they possibly haven't changed ever, but thanks to the Mail there's a perception that they have - which leads to coppers giving silly advice and other folk making well-documented stupid decisions. Don't round up a posse to beat people's brains out, or shoot them in the back, and generally you'll be fine.

is there any or has there ever been any BBC programming that's not in English, Gaelic or Welsh?

BBC Asian Network has some programmes in Urdu, Gujurati and other foreign nonsense.

ah right. THEY'RE TAKING OVER.

would love the BBC to start boradcasting in Brythonic just to call a bluff or two.

(xxxpost) I had an interesting argument with someone about that recently:

someone (preparing to froth at the mouth): "You can't even chase a burglar out of your own house without getting into trouble with the police!"
snoball: "No, you can't chase burglars out of your house, chase them down the street, and then beat them with a cricket bat and a metal pipe."
someone: "oh..."

Well, this is it.

99 times out of 100, there's some little 'detail' that changes the situation..

sure this is it though

No, you can't chase burglars out of your house, chase them down the street, and then beat them with a cricket bat and a metal pipe.

though i will rep for this as a position if anyone is bored

i'd be impressed if someone was actually chasing while carrying both bat AND pipe

I think they actually chased the bloke in a car, so it's possible.

Time was you could administer a hiding with a rolled up daily mail, yet these days the paper is not made up of strong enough fibre to be up to the job.

what a cop out xp

back in the days a daily mail would wrap up a fish supper nicely, now the fish literally just collapses through the paper onto the gutter

It's the EU that's regulated a thinner page. I say let the best paper win, no matter how thick it is.

How about the thickness of it's readers?

You'd think but no! Once again we see it's one rule for newspapers and another rule for racist creeps like me. GET A GRIP GORDON.

How had I missed that Littlejohn's daughter is now "writing" for them? The horror, etc.

^she pops up underneath one of my friend's FB status updates sometimes and I do a double take every damn time - also she has possibly the worst Twitter I have ever seen in my life http://twitter.com/missglittlejohn

bet she makes a rubbish potato farl

Hang on, Lynda la Plante's stuff has always been on ITV. Because she's a bit shit.
