Tras are trying to get JKR arrested.

https://archive.ph/5TEU4 highland fling yourself over the paywall, cos Scottish!

Thought to give IW a break.

The Hate Crime...crime(?) comes into force on 1st April, according to the article. The SNP has not engaged with any of the organisations who have expressed concerns and no-one knows what, if any, training the Police have been given.

Trans activists urge Scottish police to arrest JK Rowling over ‘misgendering hate crime’

Northumbria Police last week dismissed a complaint against the author over calling India Willoughby, a transgender TV personality, a male

I'm meeting with the committee of the drizzle cake appreciation society this afternoon. I'll take your offering and see what they say. Before I go, is it proper drizzle or did you smother it with lemon curd like last time?

Oh proper lemon drizzle this time.

I apologise profusely for the curd error, I accidentally flipped the recipe page half way through the process.

This one is also garnished with twenty pounds notes to help the decision making process go more smoothly.

It's out of a book called Bold Beans.
But a quick search found this which I think is the same thing

Thank you!

I fear I may be too late. I left Tango Man looking after the wee mites. I knew he wasn't to be trusted, I shouldn't have listened to his pleas of how he'd behave and how he was a reformed character.

The therapy bills are going to be huge!

😍I would be sitting there with vegemite love too....

Vegemites are awesome. And I am a happy little vegemite!

Ooh so cute!

I reckon if I'd had Vegemite before I knew Marmite existed i'd be perfectly happy with Vegemite. So I don't dislike it, but it does come after Marmite and Bovril on my list of things I'll happily eat.

He is! He's only just got out from doing time on the pan shelf with the PGTips monkeys after they got caught on cctv burgling the house the other summer

It occurs to me that if you don't have suitable stock, or just as a matter of preference, you could use marmite (or one of the alternatives) in the bean recipe.

I haven't got any at the moment, DH doesn't like it and I keep forgetting to ask him to get some. I've got a jar of meridian yeast extract which I bought out of curiosity. I'd guess not many people except veggies on low salt diets buy it more than once.

Isn't it. Of course after they finished their pan shelf sentence I had no choice, the monkeys, as they had admitted it was their idea, had to leave.

It was so sad though to see them sat there outside in the rain.

I will admit I eventually relented and let them back in.

I've kept the teabags under lock and key since though.

To bring this back to the thread topic ish:

Oh my, apologies if this has already been posted, I may have missed this in amongst the food talk. The screenshot of IWs tweet is below

https://twitter.com/IndiaWilloughby/status/1768800443969200395?t=McaYpmQ2az5tAjO-6sav0w&s=19

The link to the video in IWs tweet is below. I've only watched the start and I'm assuming if IW likes it then it's probably defamatory towards JKR

In addition to fig rolls being tasty they are also excellent for preventing constipation. When lactulose failed - and tasted foul - they were the solution to my kids constipation issues. They also have a good range of vitamins like potassium, calcium, magnesium. I hope the little mite doesnt get constipated but if it does you know what to do.....

Aren't "non crime hate incidents" whatever the complainant wants them to be? Would love to see IW in court defending a case for defamation and harassment, that's two of "cut-and-dried offence as far as I’m concerned."

Winnading · 16/03/2024 10:58

Oh I missed so much of this thread (damn those holidays in super thick walled cottages where the internet never works) adding twopennorth anyway.
Cake is good, especially lemon drizzle.
Crisps are bad, I'm with sinner on this.
Marmite is ok, vegemite is ok, that yeast spread is beyond disgusting.
I always thought rarebit was just cheese on toast with a good sprinkle of Worcestershire sauce., I'm now educated and will try proper rarebit soon. What do we do with the leftover beer? I don't drink it. Can I use red wine, ponders.
That onion cheese bean thing looks glorious and I'll also try that soon.
The only and best way to poach eggs is in shakshuka, but in desperation last night when we got home, hungry, tired, soooo much washing, I did poach eggs in water. I just could not face another takeaway.
And IW is a man

I've just lost a friend over this - a woman I have always thought had good sense and critical thinking skills. She forwarded a comment to me on Instagram, saying that she thought JKR should be hit in the face for her views on IW. I politely pointed out all the comments and harassment from IW towards JKR, and asked what JKR had said in reply that was untruthful or transphobic? The answer was a mouthful of abuse and ranting. I don't think the friendship can come back from that.

SinnerBoy · 16/03/2024 11:14

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/03/2024 11:21

saying that she thought JKR should be hit in the face

Saying anyone should be 'hit in the face' would be a breaker for me.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/03/2024 11:26

It might possibly accommodate some 'leftover beer' (but how can black sheep or old peculier ever be 'leftover'? Confused). Otherwise obviously beef casseroles.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/03/2024 11:29

I thought jkr meant that the reports that she'd said that at all were a 'fever dream'.

The mental image of you hoiking your bosoms has made me so jealous! Looking down at my own lack of bosoms and wondering what else I could hoik.

If you saw my double-As you wouldn't feel an iota of envy.

Hoicking them is quite a task as I have to find them first - and it is figurative rather than literal.

I "hoick" in the spirit of the thing, rather than the actuality. 😂

I did think of identifying as someone with bosoms, but I was worried I'd catch sight of myself in the bathroom mirror post-shower, and be faced with the Dreadful Truth. Couldn't cope with the cognitive dissonance, I'm afraid.

Fucking Hell. So she thinks that a woman who's suffered from domestic abuse should be hit in the face? And she's the righteous one? What a nasty piece of work.
