@p2p_alex Supermarket chicken is pumped full of so much water you get a soup when you cook it.
Butcher's is so much better quality. You get meat/poultry instead of a bulking agent to increase the weight.
I also have a massive hate for the shrink wrapped mince bricks.
Chaos at the Crucible 🔴😮
A 100 minute frame, the longest-ever at the Crucible ⏱️
It followed this bizarre stalemate, where no ball was potted for 55 minutes!
Today, Friday 13th of March, we remember the great Murray Walker, who passed away (on this day) in 2021, leaving behind a rich legacy in motorsport broadcasting.
Some have compared his commentay to having ants in his pants over a Grand Prix distance but his passionate & energetic commentary and enthusiastic style made him a firm favourite. Who could forget his 'murrayims!? @HillF1@MBrundleF1@karunchandhok@CroftyF1 #F1
@Peston I'm pretty sure an ally doesn't mean that another ally can dictate our policies. They can request things, but we don't have to do them if they don't suit us. This public bullying, which is exactly what it is, is not endearing or persuasive.
🚨 NEW: Lindsey Vonn Says She Is Out of the Hospital After Nearly Losing Her Leg
“Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg from being amputated … I'll be in a wheelchair for a while because I also broke my right ankle.”
🇮🇹 The great Italian tenor, Andrea Bocelli, performs Puccini's classic "Nessun Dorma" at the opening of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.
Italy is back, with class and style, and while cherishing her past, she has a renewed hope for the future.

@exquizitely I loved this game. I even created my first semi decent website with car skins etc, it'll still be sitting in the silicon valley foothills on a Geocities archive somewhere.
@TheTNHoller@kaitlancollins This headline isn't controversial. Shows how political gains are deemed more important than balanced reporting. Depressing.
A nice illustration of the inequity of rainfall distribution across the UK.
Be surprised if it doesn’t become a much bigger issue with the devolved nations as shortages in England become greater and more acute.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”
