Rare is the only acceptable way to eat steak. The blood gives it the flavour.
North of which country? Spain? UK?You've never come to the North, that's where the good food is
A friend once served us cold cherry soup as a starter at a dinner party. It was…….different!My boyfriend is European and his family love a cold soup but like you said, soup should be HOT!! I cannot stomach a cold soup
I agree that adding the Ukrainian flag to your social media profile is silly, as is all the other stuff BUT if people are demonstrating they are standing with Ukraine and also donating to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal, that’s good.UO: using the Ukraine colours, I've posted about the pointless use on social media and using on their profiles, but now I'm seeing shops and other businesses with the Ukraine flags, blue and yellow balloons, feckin napkins!
Ah well I guess people needed to replace their "save the NHS rainbows" and "we welcome Afghanistan refugees" window posters with another crisis to really, really demonstrate their empathy and support.
People are painting the outside of their houses in Ukrainian colours, I think it’s getting a bit silly now. Support the Ukrainian people by all means, it’s the virtue signalling I can’t stomach. It’s all getting very “look at me look at how kind and generous I am”.UO: using the Ukraine colours, I've posted about the pointless use on social media and using on their profiles, but now I'm seeing shops and other businesses with the Ukraine flags, blue and yellow balloons, feckin napkins!

If they are also donating to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal, let it go - but I bet they aren’tPeople are painting the outside of their houses in Ukrainian colours, I think it’s getting a bit silly now.

Yup I hate this too.What annoys at the moment is how you apparently can’t mention your own problems now because there’s a war going on. Someone posted on the local Nextdoor group having a bit of a moan about their wheelie bin falling apart and how the council haven’t replaced it after months of waiting and wanted to know what they could do to speed up the process, fair point imo I’d be pissed off too.
The person got jumped on by about 5 different people saying that the poster should get some perspective and stop complaining because of what’s happening in Ukraine. Sorry? I didn’t realise the war in Ukraine absolves the local council of any responsibility. Maybe I should stop paying my council tax because it goes both ways and there’s a war going on don’t you know? Yeah no the world doesn’t work like that. It’s possible to be horrified by what is going on in the world whilst also being annoyed that your broken wheelie bin hasn’t been replaced.
Amen, especially as council tax goes up but collections of waste get less frequent as the years go by.What annoys at the moment is how you apparently can’t mention your own problems now because there’s a war going on.

I feel sorry for people who can only manage to focus on one issue at at time. Simple minded fools.
It's all a bit naff and virtuous, all this. Rainbows, flags, etc. I don't bother with any of it. If I want to donate I donate. Its naff-all to do with anyone else who or what I donate to / support & I'm not interested in what my local butchers or the Co ops donating to or supportingUO: using the Ukraine colours, I've posted about the pointless use on social media and using on their profiles, but now I'm seeing shops and other businesses with the Ukraine flags, blue and yellow balloons, feckin napkins!

Such people should change their profile pics to something like this instead, it covers lots of bases:UO: using the Ukraine colours, I've posted about the pointless use on social media and using on their profiles, but now I'm seeing shops and other businesses with the Ukraine flags, blue and yellow balloons, feckin napkins!

Spain! Yeah, touristy places usually have crappy food. I went to Tenerife once and the food was average, hard to find a place with good Spanish food (it was mostly chains or Asian/Italian restaurants). The North is not as known but local bars are amazing!North of which country? Spain? UK?
I’ve spent time in Bilbao (brother lives near there) and the food is lovely and varied, no touristy platters of paella or jugs of Sangria or bowls of cold soup that look like sick.
Living in Manchester after moving from the South East taught me the delights of chips with curry sauce and steak and kidney pudding.
