Off Menu. James Acaster and Ed Gamble have a guest in to discuss their dream menu. I started listening to guests I know and like at first, but then I listened to them all. Some of the guests I didn’t know turned out to be brilliant anyway.

I know right? Really annoying.

Ha sorry, I realise I missed out pertinent information! They have it set to auto-rotate and I can’t turn it off.

My work laptop/ tablet thingy doesn’t give me permission to control rotation, otherwise I would be doing this. Chronic pain and fatigue means I sometimes just need to lie down during work. Luckily I can use speech to text.

Psych too

1, I used to work for this company when I was young and had no idea what my rights were. They very much took advantage of this, such as calling me in on an hour’s notice on my days off.

2, The Raw Egg Nationalist is a right-wing twat. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/06/20/egg-sposed-we-reveal-the-identity-of-far-right-bodybuilder-the-raw-egg-nationalist/

That’s so weird - I heard about, for the first time, and looked up this ice-cream only this morning. There was a failed petition to change the name, which generated a number of counter petitions.

I have everything I need for a Nadja of Antipaxos costume, but I don’t think we’re going anywhere.

Oh, you don’t like bonfire night? Fireworks too loud? /s

Edit: Seriously, good luck to you guys - I’ll be watching nervously from the UK (where our election was on 4th July.)

Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.

Stop trying to make fetch happen

Yeah, I guess so. It’s probably so they put lower overall salt on the packaging.

Not only “spices” but paprika and white pepper too!

I’ve been using Daylio for years.

It’s designed to track moods and the activities associated with them, but it’s adaptable, so I use it to track my headaches. It’s very easy to use and it doesn’t feel onerous to record the information.

Thank you for your dedication to the search. I love this.

When I worked in retail, I had this wanker of a middle manager who would ask how I was getting on, and when I said fine, he’d always say “It’s not rocket science, is it?”

He was mid twenties and only a few years older than me. He used to call female employees “babe”.

One time I watched him get a withering telling off from a customer. The customer wasn’t in the right, but it felt like a little bit of retribution for all us “babes”.

Of course it’s in Scunthorpe.

I get that. I’ve been trying not to use the wooden boards for cutting them as it gives off such a weird smell when I wash them.

Not allergic, but the very thought of onions (and garlic) in pregnancy made me feel sick. Smelling them or seeing them cooked (with their translucent little stripes) would have me heaving. All the foods I love have onions and garlic in. It was awful.

I have something similar! Mine is a playwright, so not on most people’s radar, unless they Google my name. It’s great.
