If I'm making cheese scones and the recipe calls for about 150ml of milk but it turns out I don't have any, will two eggs suffice instead or should I try something else?

>>456001

Replacing the milk with (more?) eggs would probably make them more like biscuits or dense pancakes than scones. Can you not pop to the shop?

Your image inspired me to have a nostalgia wank to an old 90s workout video, but I realised that these days I'm only really attracted to the "before" photos. I think there are loads of fat lasses who do yoga on YouTube, so I might have a crack at that.

I spent a good portion of last week slagging off French people to my missus, and vehemently denying that they have more in common with the English than we'd like to admit. Nobody tell her I've eaten a full baguette and wedge of brie for my dinner today.

Today I turn 37 and feel like i'm turning to dust.

Happy Birthday, you're beautiful.

I was going to use a Saturday morning kid's TV show for the OP pic, either Live & Kicking, Fully Booked, Sub Zero or even Cartoon Critters, but the resolution was too low.

I'd forgotten how fit Gail Porter was in her prime, though.

>>456007

You can't win lad, I'm having a nostalgia wank over that tasty chav poodle slag now too.

>>456008
Fleur was not a chav.

>>456009

I'm pretty sure she had a sort of Essex slag voice like Billie Piper's in Doctor Who. Am I mixing it up with something else?

Same thing I do every week(end). Fuck all.

When did the boy dog get a girlfriend? I don't recall any female dogs on Space Vets. Admittedly I was under 10 at the time, but I immediately recognised Space Vets so I can't be totally racked with amnesia.

I'm mostly spending the weekend in a fog of anxiety and depression. I had a few pints last night and today I can't shake the feeling that I've done something wrong but the consequences have yet to double back to me. Easily the worst thing about getting older is drinking stopping being fun enough to warrant all the shit that comes with it.

>>456005
Happy birthday, lad.

>>456014
If I have a couple of pints I'll end up with a terrible headache a few hours later. If I drink I have to get bladdered because I can't enjoy a light tipsy buzz enough for it to be worth it anymore.

>>456013

See, I was right. It's not quite what we'd identify as a "chav" in the modern sense, but she's definitely not meant to be an upper class bird is she.

>>456016

Not sure that counts as "right".

>>456014
>>456015

I just find that most things in general get less fun as you get older. It's like how your eyesight gets worse and your memory starts going dodgy, your very sense of enjoyment starts to dull.

For me that's definitely lead down the road of trying lots of drugs and reckless behaviour and all that. Thankfully I've never become a junkie or alkie, because it's only ever seemed increasingly futile to spaff more and more money on booze, pills and shite coke, but I really miss the days you could have the time of your life with nowt but about four cans and a couple of your mates when you were 19.

I can see why people get fat as they get older too, because food is one of the few things that doesn't really get old. Not that I excuse them for it, but I get it.

>>456017

Listen it's my wank fantasy alright. She's wearing pink Adidas trackies and hoop earrings, and offers me half her Strongbow and a blowie for a couple of roll-ups.

>>456019
Did you ever watch Mongrels? It had an almost identical dog.

I fancied painting some Warhammer today. Haven't touched any in over a year now because of my cramped living situation, but by the time I've got everything tidied up and done a few odd-jobs it's already nearly dark and I can't be arsed. Oh well.

I think I'll count it as progress if I've at least got the half-painted ones out and put them in view. I'll probably go through my paints and stuff, see if any of them have dried up and order replacements, then I've committed financially to the idea as well; which will spur me on to do some on my next day off.

>>456021
Can you not just rehydrate the old paints with water or some solvent?

>>456022

I think you can do it, but whenever I've tried it before it's a huge hassle and they don't come out right.

I'll generally keep them if they are a bit lumpy or thick, and just add a bit more medium in then stick them on the spinny thing at work for a few minutes, but if they're dry, fuck it. It's only a couple of quid a pot.

>>456000
OP, you have triggered nostalgia in me. I liked the Gladiators as a 7 year old in 1991, I even had an official Gladiators notepad and pencil.

Years later we got Barbarian for the C64 which came with a fold out full colour poster of the barbarian, who was modelled by Wolf from the Gladiators.

>>456024
I've probably posted this before, but I went to see Wolf in panto in the mid-nineties, 1996 as a guess. He'd recently done an episode of Shooting Stars where Vic and Bob kept calling him Wilf, so loads of dads kept shouting Wilf at him during the performance. He genuinely got quite pissed off about it.

>>456025
The White Power Ranger is dead now, isn't he? Much like the power he represented.

>>456027

Hanged himself after an argument with his wife that definitely wasn't about whether he was a closet bumder.

>>456025
"Introducing Rising Comedy Star". Embarrassing.

>>456036
I'd say it's preferable to being known as 'Nutty Neil'.

>>456037
I don't understand who these are targeting. Alvin Stardust, Wolf and the gay power ranger okay, they're appealing to various nostalgia and banking on their semi-fame but Neil isn't famous for anything at all, they almost never are. It's just some bloke and some woman being presented as though they're a USP of that particular panto. Is there some cult underground where their names mean something to people?

>>456024
I was more interested in Maria Whittaker in the gold bikini myself.

>>456038
Some actors carve out a bit of niche on the panto circuit, especially if they're playing one of the funny roles. The dad from Topsy & Tim has been the panto dame in Wakefield for at least 10 years now, so he's always got that bit of steady work he can fall back on.

>>456025
I read that as the Skeleton Hooper Juveniles which sounds like an undead hooligan firm.

Foggy out.

I don't like smokers to be honest. I'm sure not all smokers are this way but I will never understand people that have no qualms about lighting up a cigarette or similar on a busy walkway, outside at a nice cafe or in some sort of situation where others will be negatively impacted by their vile habit.

I also see more smokers than I'd like to just throwing their ends on the floor outside their offices or similar when they're done.

It's a disgusting habit and they always seem weirdly defensive of it.

>>456131

>I don't like smokers
>they always seem weirdly defensive of it

I wonder why.

You already make us stand out in the pissing rain, but apparently even that isn't sufficient any more. We don't make fake theatrical coughing noises when you drive past in a plume of NOx and particulate emissions. Some of us switched to vaping because it's basically harmless, but then you complain about how we smell like cake and pot pourri. It's almost as if some people just hate to see people getting unearned dopamine.

>>456132
Strawman because I don't own a car and feel similar about cars too, but also they don't create such a strong reaction as concentrated smoke does from a smoker.

Sorry you have to stand out in the rain, I guess we'll all just breathe your poison fumes because you don't want to get wet whilst you do it.

Can't wait for it to be banned full stop.

>>456131
>but I will never understand people that have no qualms about lighting up a cigarette or similar on a busy walkway, outside at a nice cafe or in some sort of situation where others will be negatively impacted by their vile habit.

They're drug addicts mate.

>>456132
I don't care about vaping, but fag smoke is foul, and it lingers.

I forget when and where a couple of you were complaining about obviously vegan things being superfluously labled as such, but unless I'm missing something this has got to be the pinnacle of the genre. Did we used to throw pigs into smelters to get a better finish on the metal?

Zizek has a good take about smokers. In essence we make up all these excuses about how it's a vile disgusting habit, smells foul, and so on and so on, but that's not really what it is at all. It's that we, the goody goody non-smokers, non-drug users, who try not to drink too much, who try to eat our five-a-day and get our 2000 steps in, who join a gym every January and cancel every March- We hate seeing someone who sticks their middle finger up to all that and says "Fuck you. I am enjoying a simple vice, and I don't have to hide it. It's not healthy, and I don't care, I enjoy it." That breaks every taboo of the modern health conscious lifestyle. We envy them, because we are ashamed of ourselves when we stuff that cheesecake down, in secret, at 11 o'clock on a Sunday night because we're depressed about going back to work. They're not ashamed of enjoying life's simple pleasures. We're jealous.

I know a lot of people shit on Witcher 3 combat, but I don't get why. It's not the smoothest or most satisfying, but it does its job. I play so many RPGs, Witcher 3's combat doesn't really stand out as particularly shit.

>>456133

>Can't wait for it to be banned full stop.

If you want smoking banned outright, then you are going to have to seriously entertain my idea of sending fatties to fitness gulags.

It's easy to avoid and ignore smokers, but you can't chuck a fatty out of the pub for sitting in your line of sight, can you.

>>456138

Sometimes Zizek's ramblings strike upon a truth and sometimes he just underestimates how rank I find cigarette stink.

>>456138

I don't find this insightful at all. There's loads of behaviours that are defiantly irresponsible, like heavy drinking or hard drug use. To say that we don't like them because it subverts some social norm, rather than that it's genuinely unpleasant or destructive, doesn't seem to be based on anything other than Zizek's latest brainfart.

I say this as someone that used to smoke and doesn't have a problem with smokers. It does smell terrible, and it is ludicrously bad for your health in the long-term. I do accept that the act of smoking itself is enjoyable, though, both physically and psychologically.

>>456142

Nah, I think it's a pretty uniquely applicable insight to smoking in particular. Smoking is the only one that, while people dislike it, you still CAN do it in public, and that's part of the enjoyment a smoker gets out of it. It's a small act of rebellion to light up at the bus stop, knowing there's some uptight arsehole stood three feet down from you who disapproves, but can't really voice it.

I'd compare it more closely to being fat. It's like our resident chubby chaser said- A fat lass is visibly displaying that she likes to indulge her desires. But with smoking, there are no outward signals, unless you have the fag in your hand. It's terribly unhealthy on the inside, but it doesn't spoil your image, so in a way you get to have your cake and eat it.

I think it's especially true when you consider vaping. Vaping proves the hypothesis. It's much,much healthier than smoking, and it doesn't have any of the other unpleasant side effects, the smells are actively designed to be pleasant instead of offensive. Only a completely unreasonable person would hate vaping/vapers based on the act itself, because there couldn't possibly BE a more reasonable alternative.

But that's not what anyone does hate. They just hate someone else enjoying themselves in a way they feel, for whatever reason, unable to, and they can only be satisfied by the idea of depriving that person of their pleasure.

>>456143
Vape flavours do reek, like those plug-in perfume things reek.
Sure, some people apparently like both, but doing them where they're not welcome is the nasal equivalent of keying my car. It's a cunt's trick.
Vape yourself into a coma, with my absolute blessing, but I'm never going to be pleased that the air reeks of synthetic strawberry.

>>456143

>I think it's especially true when you consider vaping. Vaping proves the hypothesis.

Also a lot of people believe that vaping must be terribly harmful, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The protestant-capitalist mindset refuses to accept the possibility of an unearned pleasure that doesn't come with some kind of punishment.

I've noticed something similar in the reaction to Prof. David Nutt's Sentia, a new drink that gets you mildly tipsy but isn't harmful to your health and doesn't give you a hangover. It's obviously a big step forward for harm reduction and public health, but some people feel that it's just wrong in some way, that if you don't get a hangover you aren't paying the appropriate pennance for a good time.

https://sentiaspirits.com/pages/gaba-spirits

Anyone tried that sentia stuff then? How's it getting past the demented psychoactive substances law?
Anyway, nice shilling, order placed.

>>456145
>Designed by a world-renowned team of botanists, innovators, and scientists, SENTIA’s unique blend of powerful, plant-based ingredients are scientifically proven to activate ‘GABA’ in the brain

Oh yeah?
I've seen crypto-payment-only nootropic vendors who offer more research citations than this website.

>>456147

Professor Nutt is the neuropsychopharmacologist. The marketing materials for Sentia can only make very vague claims, because of the risk of being classified as a psychoactive substance (and therefore automatically illegal) rather than a food. There's lots of things they'd like to put into Sentia and lots of things they'd like to say about it, but they're hamstrung by a law that makes any mind-altering substance illegal by default. A lot of science has gone into Sentia, but they're in the paradoxical position that publishing that science would mean that they're unable to sell the product.

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/18/3761

>>456145
PSA exempts substances ordinarily consumed as food and drink.

>>456148

I know who he is but I can't buy a product advertised as being scientific by a man posing behind a bar in a lab coat.

>>456149

So how come space cakes aren't legal?

>>456145
Not to sound rude, but you're overthinking it. The reason people assume vaping is harmful is most people aren't looking at the evidence because they don't really care, and for decades we've been, rightly, told that inhaling gasses through a hot stick is the number one way to recede your gums, turn your heart valves to paper and cover your lungs in a crust of oxygen repelling carbon. Now, obviously a ciggerette and a vape-saber are very different, but the act of smoking is so alike vaping that the prejudice is transferred from one thing to the other.

Sentia has existed for all of 15 minutes so of course there's scepticism for similar reasons as the ones listed above. Also according to a review on Amazon it tastes like beetroot juice so that's plenty "wrong" enough for me.

>>456153

Cannabis is covered by the Misuse of Drugs Act, along with all of the drugs you'd be familiar with. The Psychoactive Substances Act came in in 2016, with the intent of permanently ending the cat-and-mouse game of legal highs - chemists would invent new drugs, the government would ban them, chemists would invent other drugs and so on.

The PSA prohibits the sale of any substance "which is capable of producing a psychoactive effect in a person who consumes it" if the seller "knows or suspects, or ought to know or suspect, that the substance is a psychoactive substance" and "knows, or is reckless as to whether, the psychoactive substance is likely to be consumed by the person to whom it is supplied, or by some other person, for its psychoactive effects".

Any substance which "is ordinarily consumed as food" and contains only ingredients permitted for use in food under EU law is exempt from the PSA.

Sentia is sailing very close to the wind, because it's completely counter to the spirit of the PSA. The whole point is that it's mind-altering, but it just barely counts as a food product. It's full of stuff that is technically legal to use in food, but that nobody would want to use in food and certainly not in those quantities. It really isn't clear where they'd stand if they had to argue it in court.

>>456155

People are thicker than I give them credit for then. If they don't understand the difference between smoke (particulate matter, ie dust and ash, carried in a dense cloud by heat and gasses) and vapour (nothing more than evaporated liquid, visible as a cloud through the effect of condensation) then I don't think any evidence could convince them.

I mean, I do know people who are that daft. I had one mate who insisted he's "not a smoker" because he only smokes weed. As though that's any better. Whatever you smoke, it's the SMOKE, the physical ash and dust you are sucking into your lungs, that fucks you.

Vaping is not smoking. There is no smoke, it's vapour. It's a difference a child can understand.

>>456156

I know all that, I was big into the research chemical thing when it was around. The PSA is still a daft bit of legislation for exactly this reason.

It's basically a law that says "Drugs are just blanket illegal except alcohol and cigs. Oh and coffee. And paracetamol and that. Listen you know what we mean by drugs you hippies! They're illegal!" but I mean, why? What's the point?

Sure, harmful drugs should be banned, but who's to say scientists won't find a drug that's totally safe and harmless? What reason is there to ban it? It's like otherlad said, it's simply because it's counter to the protestant moralist tradition our conservative baseline values are based on. No fun allowed, fun is a sin. Sex is dirty, food and drink is gluttony, alcohol is the path to ruin, and so on.

At the start of February I'm going back to work. I've been off for four months. Shitting myself. I don't see myself as a functional and productive human being. I'm a loser. I'm scared I'm going to fuck it uo even more.

>>456164
Four months? You pussy. I was unemployed for over two years once.

Why were you off work, anyway? Just NEET or did you have some medical problem or something?

>>456162
>but I mean, why? What's the point?
The law kept being outmanoeuvred by people inventing new ways to get high and it was embarrassing them that they couldn't keep up. That's all.

It's actually quite embarrassing the buzz I just got from beating my mate at a game he usually wipes the floor with me on.

>>456161
No, mate, they aren't "thick", they just don't care. Most people aren't vaping, so why would they bother looking into whether or not it's harmful? You wouldn't spend your time researching the safest family car if you don't drive or have kids, would you? You seem very heated about this and I don't fully know why. So heated in fact that you didn't even notice how badly I misspelt "cigarette" in my previous post. I assume the frustration is because these kinds of assumptions are one reason the UK has a, broadly speaking, daft drugs policy, but I don't understand you trying to tie it back ideas of personal self-loathing and Protestant cultural cliches.

>>456167

No lad, that's backtracking. We were definitely talking abut people who do care, because they are bothered enough to complain about it.

If someone fundamentally misunderstands the thing they are complaining about, it is rarely a valid complaint, in my book.

I've dug my old Game Boy Advance out to introduce my daughter to Pokemon. The screen feels so small that I kind of can't believe I must have spent hundreds of hours on it.

>>456145
Give us a review of Sentia. I am mulling over whether I should buy it or not.

My mum called me earlier to ask, slightly nervously, whether I'm okay with my brother's wedding later this year being child free. Apparently he was too scared to ask me himself in case I kicked off about my kids not being invited because his future sister-in-law exploded and said she won't go if her son can't be there. Weddings always seem to turn people into arseholes.

>>456303
When my mum got remarried, she sent an invitation to my auntie and uncle, but because she didn't put the names of their kids (even though she expressly confirmed they were welcome), they refused to come. And then my grandad refusing to come if my grandma came, making my mum have to choose her mum or her dad. Fuck weddings fuck families.

>>456307
When one of my old work colleagues got married her best friend ending up falling out with her. It was over something fairly minor, invitations, food or bridesmaids, I can't remember what specifically but her friend just cut her out of her life and didn't talk to her at all until my colleague got diagnosed with cancer almost a decade later.

Anyway, I don't understand why I'd be mad that my kids can't come. Why would I be mad that someone has given me the excuse to spend a day away from my kids? Every time I've been to a wedding with small children in particular they end up getting bored and nobody wants to listen to a toddler whining and screaming, which inevitably happens at some point.

Ordered some sodium nitrite.

Dunno if I'll take it any time soon but I've been depressed and one-off suicidal for the past ~20 years.

Feels weirdly comforting knowing that I could just commit to it at any moment.

You two can fight over custody of my shed at the will reading.

>>456313

Mate, don't even joke. Get help.

>>456313
>Feels weirdly comforting knowing that I could just commit to it at any moment.

You've always had that ability. You're only being incredibly irresponsible to yourself by making it so much easier to pull the metaphorical trigger at any random moment when killing yourself shouldn't be taken lightly.

Think about it this way: You wouldn't keep a Wonga loan tab ready to go at any moment on your browser, would you?

>>456313
>Dunno if I'll take it any time soon

You're seeking attention on an anonymous internet site. This is probably the wrong place if you're genuinely feeling suicical, but I want to encourage you speaking about this and getting some help.

Alright, I told my partner that my brother wants a child free wedding and she completely flipped her lid; apparently it's disgusting to do so when siblings have kids, so she's currently saying that she won't go because she'll have to look after ours. Thinking about it, pretty much all wedding drama that I've ever heard about involves women.

>>456318

Yep, that's women, the empathetic, sensitive, caring gender for you.

What it comes down to here, I suspect, is that they are being denied the opportunity to show off what a happy little family they are in front of everyone. They are being denied the opportunity to participate in that subtle form of social competitiveness women can't seem to let go of. And especially when a woman becomes a mother, her kids become a crucial part of that.

If I was your brother I'd may as well just have a woman free wedding, otherwise he's never going to hear the end of it.

Re: >>456313
You're all right.

Also, posting this outside of /emo/ was irresponsible of me.

My hoover is on its last legs, except I maintain it can't be because it's survived so much already. I paid £35 for it, new, nearly ten years ago. It has always been shit, but now it makes a weird noise and smells of burning plastic. I tried cleaning it, but that hasn't worked. Anyway, my big gripe is that there is another filter which is visibly clogged, and it's part of the main body so I can't take it out. Except! There are screws! So I unscrewed it. Except again! There is one screw which I can see but can't reach, because there is a spinning bit of plastic to help the plug come out, directly in front of it.

I've been saying for years that I'll buy a new one. I could get a big Henry one like normal people have. But if I'm going to bin this one anyway, I might as well have one last go. Surely I can't let one tiny plastic bar get between me and the 10th anniversary of my strained relationship with the Bissell Cleanview™ Compact Model 2396-E. Yes, I kept the box in case I ever needed it, and at last it has come in handy.

My girlfriend got me one of those automated blowjob sextoys as a gift from her holiday, it vibrates and has many functions like a button for it to go into 'take every last drop' mode. It also has a button to make lady orgasm noises where the woman is clearly faking it for added realism.

Well let me tell you that there is nothing that quite puts fear into a man like getting a sextoy from the third world and having a vacuum seal go uncomfortably tight on your member and then once you switch it off to discover that it's actually still sealed on. Definitely up there in terms of things I've put my knob in that could've gone horribly wrong.

>>456322
My only advice is that if you're on the hunt for a new one then the Amazon basics vacuum cleaner is actually really good value. One of the best vacuums I've owned actually.

If you've kept the receipt then put your best normcore outfit and act mystified when trying to return it once they tell you that it's outside the return date - "why, I was only here yesterday!".

Been around 3 different shops, can't find Lyle's Golden Syrup Cake nor Jamacian Ginger Cake anywhere. Is there a supply shortage?

Interesting fact found while searching - the lion depicted in the Lyons logo is deceased and being feasted upon by bees. Pretty cool, huh? Apparently it's a biblical reference.
Also, I could have sworn it was 'Lyon's'.

I had a Hettie and it was fantastic. I've got a Shark at the moment and I'm not overly keen on it.

I also went on a quest for this a little while ago and couldn't find any anywhere. I think they might have stopped making it.

>>456325>>456328
Have you tried the likes of B&M and Home Bargains?

>>456324
Your post was the first one below the line so I surmised you were contributing to a discussion about sex toys and was amused to read you recommend a vacuum cleaner.

>>456322
>>456327

I got a Miele vacuum cleaner ten years ago and it's still good as new. They're not inexpensive, I'm not going to lie, I think mine cost £250 and it was already reduced. But it's built like a tank. The Germans know their stuff when it comes to appliances. I've still got my old Bosch fridge freezer in the basement from when I was living in a flat, it's almost 20 years old and I still use it for beer and other stuff. It hasn't broken down once.

>>456332

Correction, the fridge needed a £20 thermostat sensor a few years after I bought it, it was after the warranty period but it was easy to get via the Internet and it then took me ten minutes to install. But yeah, hasn't given me any trouble since.

You don't say...

>>456339
It's not really that dissimilar from York, just with more scousers visiting.

>>456335
I think Manchester is a good shout if you want somewhere a bit smaller, more affordable with good nearby transport links. It's an example of what you can do when the local authorities are relatively well run, the centre even has a Tim Hortons.

Although I'll proviso that ultimately you take London first and then you scale down based on what you can afford. If you're single and middle class then London really does have a lot.

>>456337
I've lived in both of these and I can't say I'd agree. Chester is a student town that feels a bit like the East Midlands and Sheffield has gone sharply downhill with the arrival of hard drugs and the death of the creative scene it used to have in the 00s.

When the rot gets too much and the UK balkanises into pre-Anglo-Saxon sized successor states Chester will likely be the capital of mine, so I've some loyalty to it. However, it's very boring and I don't think it even has a cinema, so calling it a city is very generous. Even the cathedral is a bit naff.

>>456340
Thanks for the tip, you've saved me a journey to York.

>>456342
[The Kingdom of Elmet will remember this.]

York is far better than Chester. It's got that tower where they burned all the jews alive and the minster is one of the finest in the country.

Manchester is an irredeemable shithole. It's got the scale and traffic and pollution of a proper big city like London, but none of the good things. I can only recommend Manchester if you're a gay lad in your early 20s, otherwise it has little to offer but unpleasantness.

Sheffield is actually dead nice. I visited there for the first time in a few years the other week, and while I used to judge it pretty harshly, I do have a fondness for the place. It's cosy, not too big and not too small, like Leeds but with nice geography. Leeds is really nice but it's let down by a catastrophic lack of public transport.

Wakey uber alles otherwise tho.

>>456345
I think what differentiates Manchester from other large cities is that it's the type of place that's fine to live, but not somewhere you'd want to visit if you don't. There's enough places to go and things to do if you want to spend a day out in Leeds, but you can't really say the same for Manchester.

>>456335
Allegedly, it's Aberdeen, but that's in Scotland so I don't know how nice it can really be.

I went and did the thing the internet tells you to never do - I bought 6 months of Hinge Premium to make use of the paid features.

It's early days but has been broadly alright so far, specifically because I did it for a reason (filters on short women and people who don't want kids). The huge plus in what is likely a honeymoon period is that the app is clearly rewarding paid users by showing them the better profiles. Although I will add the drawback that newer features like relationship type can't be filtered despite it being the most obvious one and I'd really prefer a third-party app that just automatically removes any profiles that contains certain key words. I'm also worried of the time sink this will create when combined with the unlimited likes option. I'll keep you posted on my descent into madness.

But I will note to any otherlads that I get matches already and live in a large city. Don't bother with it otherwise. I'm a tall bloke who is tired of dealing with women a foot shorter than me and there's an experiment to be had in seeing what filtering apolitical women does.
