Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Near here we have the Kingsway flats. An ideal mix of brutalism and asbestos.

My point really was that a council prioritising aesthetics over social housing in the current climate is pretty mind blowing.

I'm sure the people put out of their homes will appreciate the view of the castle.

Looks like a few media sources have picked this story up after it was mentioned by the Australian PM.

Tunnock's teacakes had previously been banned from the cockpits of RAF planes because they might explode. This ban has now been lifted

Major storms keep killing people for fifteen years afterwards.

pbs.org

American researchers find "death bumps" with many, many more dying early post-storms than in the storms themselves: more than die in car accidents.

Yes. Not surprising that there's an effect, but the size of it is surprising. I wonder whether the effect is smaller in places where the government takes a more active role in dealing with such things.

Got something to say?

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
