Seasonal menu, excellent vegetarian options. Very inventive. One of the rare places I could take my fussy Mum to.
It was dog themed and owned/run by a man in his 40s/50s with very high standards and a rightful distrust/dislike of anyone making too much of an effort.

please tell me about your favorite lost restaurant (closed for at least 5 years, like I really want you to go back into the vault), why you loved it and what you ate there

Although saying that about anger. I might be one of the only people who had feedback on their dissertation that it was 'very angry' and I replied 'I'm absolutely furious' and didn't change it.
The topic was child protection and safeguarding and my experience of it.
Keep shouting.

Preach. Anger isn't bad in of itself, it's when it's misdirected.
Punch up,
Punch Nazis.

I think the plague of millenials is that we get to see the future cool things come into existence but they're the temu version ane/or have terrifying consequences for all of humanity.

Cats are amazing aren't they. These little soft furry things that love attention, give us loads of affection and cuddles, they vibrate to let us know that they like us and feel happy. And then they'll just bite you, or piss on something for a laugh. 10/10 animal.

He's right. Everyone knows ecoli sees that Michelin Star and immediately disappears. They don't even need to refrigerate their produce or wash their hands.

Being told I put my own comfort before other people's safety, I love excluding vulnerable people from public spaces when I've dedicated 20 years of my life to working in social care, ran a care home safely through the pandemic & have worked with countless organisations to make places more accessible

Zack Polanski's secret long game to disable his supporters 🙄 Or is it he is just celebrating his community and raising funds for the party? It's at a nightclub, it isn't for everyone. If you're immunocompromised you'd steer clear of loads of places not just clubs. What a weird take.

Some overdue apologies from Perth & Kinross local authority to the traveller community. Now we need to stop the removal of children into care and the open racism (especially in local rags).

What a hoot, I can be Cavan and see if I would've survived like my Pops Smyth and siblings and then left Ireland to survive or if I would've starved to death like his cousins! What the actual fuck?!
While I love my niche stupid hobby of historical board gaming, sometimes it does just make me want to scream. Take the latest example, a board game about the Irish Potato Famine where you get to compete with friends to see who survives best (?)

Can we stop using the term 'commit' suicide. It's a hangover from when it was a crime and actually creates a stigma for survivors and family/friends. Also, a hunger strike is a form of protest, not a slow and unusual way to take your own life.
