It's finally live! I was lucky enough to get to work with an amazing team and help make this show a reality. Essentially the same team behind the award winning Horrible Histories (but with added me). Its the same mix of sketches, songs and more fart jokes you can sniff at but now with more science!

There’s a good chance they won’t have even have heard of it tbh. It was invented in a Bangladeshi restaurant in Birmingham I think.

Honestly is a different level of spice to Tabasco or peri peri chillis. It doesn’t even taste good. Not worth the effort. Sounds like you’d enjoy a madras’s, vindaloo or a couple of Nepalese curries tho.

Personally I don't think a Phaal actually tastes good, but then I suppose flavour isnt the point. whilst I will happily plow through a madrasa or a proper sour vindaloo but Phaals just take the piss. I don't want to have to put a roll of toilet roll in the fridge for the next morning.

Nandos X-hot isn't exactly brutal, kinda madras or vindaloo level. Like cheeky but not insolent. The chef's cooking a Phaal have to wear respirators. The whole thing was made to shut up the "Whats the hottest thing on the menu" lads.

With the amount of pepper spray that frog is gonna be cheekier than a late night chicken Phaal curry. A extra hot Nando's dont got nothing on that boy.

Glad to have you here! If you're recording in Soho check out Flat White on Berwick Street Sacred Grounds on Dean Street for the best bitter alkaloid infused beverages.

Nobody can afford to drink in the pub until 2am on the regular, and staying open means paying wages and electricity bills etc etc, so all this will do is make people say “what?! Closing already??!!” at 11pm on a fucking Thursday when they’re the only fucker in the fucking pub

Pubs to stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth

Exclusive: Plans for England and Wales would help ailing hospitality sector but health experts criticise move Pubs, clubs and restaurants will be able to open into the early hours as part of Labour’s drive for economic growth, a move which critics say will lead to more drunken disorder. Ministers are pushing ahead with plans to allow premises that sell alcohol to extend their opening hours in order to boost “the British night out” and help the hospitality sector.

Spirit of TOS means calling out the "I'm not touching you" rules lawyering bullshit. But then you know that already don't you.

Why are you using whats clearly an alt account that you've not touched for 6 months and barely post with at all? Why not try such pedantry on your main?

That age gap is the least surprising thing on that post. Like have you met any Limp Bizkit fans?

Southwark. Obviously Leicester Square, Borough and to a lesser extent Marylebone will trip up non brits but Southwark trips up out of towners too.

Tonight we’re having aubergine and mushroom ravioli with roated tomato and olive sauce and some fresh basil to finish it.
The pasta was shop bought but everything else is stuff in the fridge that needs using up.

No meat no meal is not a healthy way to eat. I eat a mostly pescatarian diet , largely because neither of us can be bothered cooking 2 different meals and my partner can’t digest certain meat proteins. We do not eat badly at all.

See also the Film and Tv. Industries that the Tory government seemed actively intent on collapsing.

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 1d

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 1d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

its working title was The Hamburgler. When McDonalds pulled out fearing another Mac and Me there was a hasty rewrite.

Yeah, because as a regular presenter on a national radio station, you are starved reach and exposure...

not particularly although I wouldn't be surprised if there wasnt some inspiration.
