This is the one my parents get (the only cottage cheese enjoyers I know)

You can’t make pâté with cottage cheese, it has no fat content, is all water and WILL create a fish smoothie the second it hits the blender

delicious cottage cheese solutions: - cottage cheese, frozen fruit, honey and peanut butter whizzed up in blender - cottage cheese and chives whisked into an omelette terrible cottage cheese mistakes: - mackerel and cottage cheese pâté

nothing is better than buying a shirt on a whim, completely forgetting you did it, and having it show up a week later

As a somewhat long term Green Party member, the idea that a leader should resign if the party doesn’t win one seat is quite hilarious

Not proud that my only impact on national politics was in collaboration with Gove but I think I had decent intentions (can’t say the same for him)

Told Michael Gove that there should be more classic novels on the GCSE English curriculum during a morning visit to my school and he announced it as policy that evening

The way tech is developing is inherently anti-intellectual and fascist because it’s specifically geared towards never having to engage with ideas beyond your own, current, limited conception

What’s in your bright copper kettle, mate?

Sorry I was being very Anglocentric but I do still think copper kettles have value as ornamental objects (i have always wanted to try mate but no idea where to get it here)

Why are you trying to use your bright copper kettles? to make hot cocoa on the range? to boil a pudding? to fill your copper tub? It’s not 1872

No they’d take my number 1 spot. I love copper kettles. I have an antique copper kettle that takes pride of place in my fireplace. Granted it’s more aged and patinad than bright

I meant anglicised not westernised, but I forgive myself because I’m poorly today

I personally think you both undervalue bright copper kettles

This reminds me that I lent our crowbar to daughter's school for Bill Sykes to wield in the school production of Oliver! and I never got it back, so I need a new crowbar.

Yeah if you dont have a crowbar you definitely need a crowbar: taking furniture apart - crowbar, putting shelves up - crowbar, attempting plumbing - crowbar, hanging wallpaper - crowbar.
