I've never actually sniffed up a fly. Eaten a couple of little ones by mistake. Might start spitting them out now but I always instinctively swallow them so I can just quickly forget and pretend it didn't happen

I’ve swallowed a few flies too but I assume they just die on the way down or in your stomach, I hope so anyway

I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly.

I swallowed a bluebottle when running once. Huge fucker. Went right to the back of my throat so couldn’t even spit it out. Just had to gulp it down. Tasted bitter.

Had the mental image of Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas pop into my head for some reason.

Anyone having problems with GMail - messages failing to send, hanging etc over last few days? My emails come through once or twice a day instead of immediately at the moment, it's been on and off for a couple of weeks now

I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly. Did she swallow a spider to catch the fly?

That would be a silly idea. She should swallow a can of Raid.

Roses, Quality Street, Heroes and Celebrations. I’ve loved them all over the years… Well. There’s a fucking revelation. Just bought some Heroes. Twirls (formerly a massive favourite) are now officially shit. Am disappoint.

What’s changed? Taste / texture / size?

What’s changed? Taste / texture / size? So, I’ve not had a full-sized one for a little while, but I know Twirls, like many other Cadbury’s chocolates, used to be made with real Irish Dairy Milk chocolate. The mini Twirls in Heroes are now officially made from palm oil and hatred. To reference Ashens, they appear to be constructed from horror and death.

Quality Street were always my favourite but everyone looks down on them and calls them Poverty Street these days It’s very sad It went wrong for then when they removed the peanut cracknel

+1 for the Ashens reference. For some reason YT no longer pushes his vids to me, so I'm off to catch up on his shenanigans

Found him via the Retro Gaming community, and he then led me to Barry Lewis (My Virgin Kitchen, as was). The YT stuff I discovered around then helped me through some very hard times, and I remain grateful to them all.

I can't quite work out whether I like Barry Lewis or not. I think he reminds me a bit too much of Jamie Oliver/Jimmy Doherty with his accent, enthusiams and mannerisms and that makes me automatically assume he's a fucking cunt, when actually, he's not and his vids are cool.

Barry seems to be genuinely nice. We’ve chatted a couple of times, and I have both his books. Interestingly, he thinks many celebrity chefs are twats, but is very supportive of Jamie Oliver, who helped get him going in the beginning, and wrote the foreword to (at least) Barry’s first book.

Barry is one of our few 'family' channels that we all like to watch and has genuinely inspired us to cook things. My Chili Sausage Roll was based largely on the Gourmet one he/we made last year. He seems like an actual good guy.
I found Barry through Ashens/Barshens, too. And I think the Ashens videos getting not getting pushed out is probably due to him having fallen off the algorithm. He mainly does twitch streaming now and his uploads have become far less frequent.

When did 'used' items at eBay and elsewhere become 'preloved' items instead? It's PC gone mad, I tell you!

What's this Albumen Adjacent shit. I clearly hinted for Yolk Forward and this is what I get? Not to sound ungrateful but it's like asking Santa for a skateboard and getting a single roller-skate.

Not that I'm bitter about never getting a skateboard...
