How can EU have any pudding in OD
So, something I forgot in my last entry about the insanity that is Brexit. The length of the delay in leaving the EU means that we have to hold elections for the EU parliament. This is what Ma...
EU can check out any time you like in OD
Yup, it’s another Brexit entry. So, last Thursday, the Cooper – Bowles bill went to the Lords. There was a lot of filibustering. This led to a lot of cloture (I.E. shut the fuck up) motions. ...
You can’t take my fries from me in OD
Got my new glasses today, so here’s the obligatory pic. Before anyone say sit, no I will not smile. Forgot to mention last weekend, but I’ve been put forward for a work experience thing throug...
EU oughta know in OD
Monday was the second round of indicative votes. This time, the motions up for debate and vote were customs union, common market, second referendum whatever happens and one guaranteeing parliame...
So, I did try cooking something new last week. I cooked steak. T’wasn’t bad, but I needed a bit of tweaking so it’s medium rare, not medium. I had a look through the slow cooker recipe book I...
An update to the update in OD
We now know what is going to be voted on tomorrow. There’s a fair bit to explain here. what is commonly known as the Working Agreement is actually two documents. There’s the WA itself. This ...
Quick Brexit update in OD
Tomorrow, there will be a vote on something related to Brexit. No-one knows exactly what that is. The Government don’t even know what the vote is on. They’ve admitted as such. This is where ...
Indecisions, indecisions in OD
Yup, it’s another Brexit entry. On Monday, Westminster had another Brexit vote. This one was a neutral motion. Which means it has no actual impact except to say “This has happened”. This, ho...
Call of the weird in OD
Quick Brexit update: we’re saved. Uri Geller (yes, he of spoon bending fame) is going to prevent it from happening telepathically. And that’s nowhere near the strangest story Brexit has given ...
More Bexity goodness in OD
when I last talked on this subject, Parliament had decided they did not want the Working Agreement but neither did they want us to leave the EU with no deal. Theresa May was going to try a thir...
My all time favourite headline. My culinary quest continues. Tonight, I’m making chicken tikka masala, using a kit that comes with the spices instead of just a jar of sauce. Tomorrow is slow ...
More politics, I’m afraid in OD
Picture is the latest in my journey to try cooking new stuff. Beef and tomato casserole. T’was nice. At 23:00 on the 29th of March this year, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern ...
I’m the pain you tasted in OD
The pic is the Thai green curry I talked about in my last entry. Not going to make it again, mostly because I don’t, as it turns out, like it. Got woken up today by an alert on my phone. It w...
The Amazing Mr Memory! in OD
In my quest to cook different stuff in my slow cooker, I decided today to make venison sausage cassoulet. I copied the list of ingredients on my phone and headed into town. Problem is, there’s...
Material for reading in OD
So, my Oscar predictions didn’t go as well this year as last. Ahhhh, well. Delighted for Olivia Coleman (and her speech was great.) So, yeah, books. I signed up for a book gifting thing thro...
Oscar predictions 2019 in OD
Featuring a picture of my nephew, Oscar. So, these are my predictions for the Oscars in every category where I saw every nominee. As last year, I’m going to say what I think should win and wha...
More capsule reviews in OD
No cover pic. Few words. Lets go with very short reviews of more Oscar nominated films. BlakKklansman: one of those films that, if you pitched it as a work of fiction you’d be told it’s not r...
The wonderful thing about TIGgers is… in OD
So, this is going to be another politics entry. Now, more or less since the moment Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party, there’s been rumours of a split. Either the Blairite ce...
For those of you wondering, in the pic in my last entry I’m the one kneeling down in the yellow rugby shirt. I won a new telly! It’s the same size as my old one, but this one is a smart TV. I...
Chefs of master in OD
See if you can spot teenage Will in the pic. Masterchef is back! Thankfully I’ve already eaten. Discovered long ago this is not a show to watch when hungry. Finally caved in and got myself a...
Wibbly-wobbly in OD
This entry serves no other purpose than to boast that 8 years ago I met Steven Moffatt randomly in a bar at a sci-fi convention. Will
Tuscan-style Chicken in OD
It’s not often I post pics of the food I make. So, here we go. This is the Tuscan-style chicken I made yesterday in the slow cooker. I didn’t follow the recipe properly, mostly because I’m no...
We finally got sna here… in OD
…so, of course, I decide to get my hair cut. Not much has been happening in my life. Trying a new recipe in the slow cooker today. I really need a bigger slow cooker. The 1.5 litre one I hav...
Convincing a stranger to buy a random t shirt in OD
No, the title isn’t something amusing I came up with. It’s something amusing that I actually did. Last night, I decided I wanted to go to the pub for a couple of pints. I decided to wear the ...
Insert title here in OD
My laptop is out of computer hospital. It’s slower than it was before, but then it’s getting old. So I spent some of yesterday and most of today downloading and installing programs and sorting o...
