No details yet. He says he will post about it at length tomorrow and it will be worth the wait. So this is just a placemarker for the moment.

Are the police fucking useless? Yes.

And what happened here looks tame compared to this news story today

You have to ask yourself, wtf is going on with the police that they are this bloody incompetent.

That is shocking, though sadly not surprising

murasaki · 07/08/2026 16:11

That and a dislike of our mayor for REASONS.

but the Met aren't the only ones who behave badly by a long stretch.

Well quite. I suspect they're all much of a muchness, but the Met get called out more often.

Is that because London is where most of the mainstream media nest?

Or West Yorkshire, or Avon and Somerset....

or Northumbria, or British Transport Police...

murasaki · 07/08/2026 16:00

As they're my local police force, I can agree with that. But they are not alone by any means.

Don’t tar all police with the Met.

Two images of Simon Levy. On the left is a mugshot of him in British Transport Police custody and the other is him captured on someone's phone on a London tube

Simon Levy’s second murder victim, Sheryl Wilkins, could have been saved, senior Met officer admits.

That recipe is very rich in adjectives - desiccated, condensed and plain doesn't sound too healthyGrin. Nutritional guidelines recommend at least 75% nouns per meal, with adverbs twice a week to promote a more active lifestyle

😂

This is a precursor to being deep fried in batter - there's nothing healthy about it whatsoever!

You could make your own - desiccated coconut, condensed milk, plain chocolate 😊

I am now craving dark chocolate bounties cause of you lot. I have found some recipes that don't include tempering chocolate as well as Google suggested alternatives. I think I will selflessly volunteer to try out some recipes and other dark choc coconut bars and report back

There aren't many things I can't stand eating but celery and dill are two of them (olives, marzipan and liquorice being the others) so it's a hell no from me.

YY to dill 🤮

Also sage 🤮

1 head of celery chopped - save the leaves
1 medium onion finely chopped
Olive or sunflower oil
3 tbsp ground almonds
Few flaked toasted almonds for garnish
Vegetable stock
1 tsp dill seeds (aka Soowa seeds in Asian supermarkets)

Saute chopped celery and onion until soft. Add crushed dill seed. Add pint or so of veg stock (Marigold Bouillon powder is good) and bring to boil. Stir in ground almonds and add more stock or water if it's too thick. Simmer for 20 minutes then blitz until smooth. Season with white pepper to taste and salt if needed. If you are lucky and have a lot of leaves then chop and stir them in, saving some for garnish. If not just save leaves for garnish and add flaked almonds. Sorry it's a bit vague but I don't really have a set recipe.
There are similar recipes online some of which use chicken stock and/or milk to make it richer.

Thank you! I’ll have a go next time I have celery to hand.

What i want to know is are there any men here and if so, say so. Biscuits matter for feminists

yes, but wisely staying out of these deep feminist discussions - happy to get involved in the more trivial topics such as how many sexes fit in a toilet cubicle…

(p.s. anything tunnoch is nice)
(p.p.s. I too mourn the loss of the dark chocolate bounty…)

The same way that a baked Alaska works, I think. The batter is essentially a heat shield, like the meringue in a BA.

But...you don't eat butter on its own unless you're our dog so why would you deep fry it?

I am quite happy to eat the odd bit of butter all by itself. Even better if it’s the sort with crystals of salt in it. Or black garlic butter. Or herb butter.

I just really like butter Grin

lcakethereforeIam · 06/08/2026 23:17

These fellas show you how to make your own

I'm assuming you just use dark rather than milk. I'm not sure I could be arsed. Especially if you have to temper the chocolate.

I don't like cherries. 😥

Yeah, they are a pale imitation of a dark Bounty (and thin and flat, FFS).

MyrtleLion · 06/08/2026 23:10

lcakethereforeIam · 06/08/2026 22:53

Was it the news or the rogue apostrophe? Sorry either way.

What is the plural of Bounty? Is it Bountys or Bounties? They both look weird.

Edited

Not at all, though my inner pedant says plural so Bounties, but brand name so Bountys.

The NOOOO was because I hadn't realised they had discontinued the red ones (dark chocolate). #sadtimes
