We're talking about a bloke who hid In a fridge to get out of answering tough questions. I'm pretty sure boris wouldn't be there if there was any chance that he would get his head took off.

Wymsey Posted 24 August 2022 Share Posted 24 August 2022 Never have fish and chips often, but felt like having one today (medium size) and it cost £11. The last time I had one, many months ago, it was like £7. There's talk of there not being many such businesses around in the future (due to various things such as shortage of supplies, Brexit etc.).

Putin's stranglehold on Russian haddock, cod and fishcakes. Oh, and the diversion of Russian potatoes from chip shops in order to increase the production of Russian vodka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkidsFox Posted 24 August 2022 Share Posted 24 August 2022 The cost of cooking oil has increased, plus energy costs are soaring. No surprise then, that the chippy is charging more. May have to stock up on lentils and porridge if things get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing at KFC. I swear the order I made the other day was about £3 more than it was just 3 or 4 months ago, one large meal and a couple of extra hotwings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch1965 Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 Anyone know what was going on at Desford crossroads petrol station last night?

Innovindil Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-62670717 South Korea has again recorded the world's lowest fertility rate with the number sinking to a new low. The rate in the country first dropped lower than one child per woman in 2018. But on Wednesday, figures released by the government showed the figure had dropped to 0.81 - down three points from the previous year, and a sixth consecutive decline. In comparison, the average rate across the world's most advanced economies is 1.6 children. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely unreal to me that successive governments haven't identified the problem (institutionally treating women as inferior while still allowing them more freedom of choice than somewhere like, say, Saudi Arabia). Or perhaps they have but feel they can't do anything about it because they need the misogynist ajosshi and angry-young-man-blaming-everything-on-women vote to win elections.

leicsmac Posted 25 August 2022 Share Posted 25 August 2022 That being said above, on the topic of population, a gradual tailing off of the increase to a stable number worldwide, even with the problems it will cause, is the best of a set of rather bad options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cus half the blokes are playing games and jacking it over e-girls, who needs a woman or family when you've got that? I imagine the UK and US will catch them up soon enough.

Or getting pissed-up with the boss on work evenings until the small hours. Workplace culture here is... very different, to put it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
