    Trump on the NHS.

    I'm pretty sure that the father had as much opportunity to use the free contraception available as any mother did, but fortunately for them, due to biology, they don't have to carry and raise a child for there 5 minutes of pleasure. I get your point, but I think that its a bit daft to assume...

    Coffee Help

    Really like the Aldi coffee... although from memory not on the same flavour profiles as the original post was after but wouldn't hesitate to use this generally!

    Coffee Help

    I love Kona coffee, obviously for the price its not worth it (especially not to add to a beer....) but if you ever do get to try it, its brilliant. Its not very bitter and is quite nutty and almost a bit chocolatey in flavour. As a replacement, I would probably try to find a lighter...

    BIAB to All Grain

    I do BIAB although don't tend to buy kits. Probably the best thing to do is to put the grain bill into brewers friend or similar to see what numbers you get as I believe "all grain" with a mash tun etc can be more efficient. In most cases I increase my grain bill to compensate for the lower...

    Six Nations 2018

    Such a shame for Ben Youngs, seems a bit short sighted to not call up 2 new scrum halfs though... I was talking to my boss and I was saying it could be Ben Youngs England career over, hes not getting any younger, if this puts him out until next season someone could step in and fill his...

    Trump on the NHS.

    A friend of mine is very much into his health and one of the points he makes is that the way he lives is not so that he can extend his life expectancy but so that the years he does have he is able to live them healthily, making the most of time. Not really sure what point I am trying to make...

    Lauri Love case: Hacking suspect wins extradition appeal

    As someone who has recently had my blog hacked I am in a bad mood about Hackers in general. I don't get the argument he won't get a fair trial in the states... on what grounds? Surely if the evidence is there he did it, hes guilty? I am sympathetic of the fact he has Aspergers, and I think...

    The death penalty.

    Oh, on that I completely agree, if there was to be an attack on myself or a family member (or a home invasion) I would have no hesitation in protecting myself and family with any force needed. In the moment humans (like animals) should react as required.

    An expensive meal.

    This is one of the first things I ever noticed about living in Sheffield. You are almost always in sight of a bin. Makes such a big difference. Growing up in Chelmsford there were never bins about which does have a knock on effect that people drop litter. Obviously they shouldn't and its...

    Six Nations 2018

    Its a tricky one with Scotland but what I don't want to happen is they revert to the rugby they were playing a couple of seasons ago with no attacking intent. I think they will have success in some games and I think Scotland France could be a cracker. Very pleased with how England started...

    The death penalty.

    On the matter of "revenge killing" I wonder how many people that actually do this feel better for having done it? Although I agree the desire from myself would be there, I would actually doubt my ability to do it and also doubt it would actually make me feel any better.

    The death penalty.

    Surely the death penalty is a punishment for those friends and family who in most cases may not have known anything about the crime. When you are dead... you are dead so its not really a punishment unless we keep people locked up on death row for years waiting for the death in which case its...

    Capita

    I don't trust any company that has fingers in too many pies. My idea of a business is that is tries to excel in what it was started up to do. stick to one thing and stop allowing businesses that do everything. It also doesn't help competition within markets as the big companies have the money...

    The NHS is not in crisis - just look at the figures!

    Completely get this Dutto and hope the lad is ok. My view (and this may one day change if I am ever in a position where a loved one is dying or severely injured) is that life is finite and that if I was to fall ill or am injured, I trust that the NHS staff will try its best to help me but...

    The NHS is not in crisis - just look at the figures!

    There is just so much waste in the NHS at every level. Its a big like local government, in some cases, each trust has paid lots of money for software and systems that already exist elsewhere in other trusts. When a trust gets taken over, they redo all the uniforms so their new logo is...

    23l BIAB lifting

    Building on this, assuming I am right you meant 2 bags side by side, couldnt you do one bag in another? so put the first bag in as normal, put in half the grain, mash. place a second bag in "over the top" mash in the second half of the grain? Then when it comes to removing, you have 2...

    Nutella wars.

    I know people use powdered peanut butter for peanut butter stouts etc, this might be worth a shot... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CD3A9T8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

    Nutella wars.

    I think by the time you have removed the fat, using cocoa nibs, hazelnut flavouring and lactose would probably be easier and also be more controllable. Although to be fair, Nutella is probably one of the only products that I can't find a non branded version of that is any good...

    Is this what we can expect from our educators?

    Just to reassure him, there is no need to be terrified, I am sure those around his share his desire for his ambitions and having those people on board for the journey will certainly help more than the head teachers attitude. Also, my advice with university is make sure he goes on the quality...
