Stinking Bishop just doesn't stink. It's such a bland, mild disappointment. And there's France mass-producing Vacherin and Epoisses like it's nbd

I love mixing a few different cheeses for sauces cos it seems any combination seems to work fine, never had a disaster yet. Stilton gives a lovely texture to sauces and you can't go wrong with a bit of blue brie in there as well.

absolutely shocking british cheese situation in the US. just shocking. nothing but cheddar, and what they call "sharp cheddar" is so mild i would not give it to an infant with a weak stomach, and what they call mild is essentially milk in a solid form. you couldn't kick a ball in the street.

Apologies for that bit of ignorant assumption of me there Daniel. Cultural imperialism is a hell of a drug! I don't generally bother with celeb nonsense but was pleased to notice Christopher Eccleston has referred to the Queen as "parasite in chief in her idiot hat" on social media.

cheese in Canada is fucking shit
Some of the Québécois stuff is pretty good, but it usually pales next to its French inspirations.

Rishi has unblemished petite smooth hands that have never done hard labour, not that there is anything wrong with that but I could imagine him wearing silk gloves to do light gardening. Whereas that hand looks like the hand of a hgv driver or a plumber, they probably looked at that pic where he is giving a thumbs up to a toaster and decided not only does he look like a total dick but he's got very small hands as well (which I'm intending to shame here, just shaming the game!)

― The Scampos of Young Werther (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:28 (three years ago) link

― caută tu singur (gyac), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:32 (three years ago) link
the truth is Geoff is more like the mainstream of BBC comedy than he seems to appreciate, the only difference is that he's come out as a conservative reactionary and in quite tedious style and made that his shtick. Other than on the brexit issue the melt "PC snowflake" comedians he has set himself up as the antidote to have much more in common with him than any lefty comedians, of which you could probably count on one hand in bbc comedyland.

― The Scampos of Young Werther (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
the only memorable bit of writing of Burchill writing for me was when she was quite angrily ridiculing her old pal Toby Young for being an ugly hypocrite, and a shallow and vacuous creep who worshipped celebs and went kerb crawling on a regular basis. I can't remember where I read it but it was p good and stuck in my memory.
