well, many thanks to @rich-bryant.uk , the below recipe he kindly provided has worked a treat. amazingly tender lamb, the rice and olive combo with honey is delicious, and I might even have got a Maillard reaction, says @rosamundi.bsky.social:

yep, there'd be an unwind of excessive valuations and the circle jerk of incestuous funding, but it's not going to put the global financial system under pressure like 2008.

it would be amusing if an equity sell-off, leading to a Gilt bid, helped out the UK government into the Autumn Statement on 26th November*
