Finland appears to be a haven for expat faggots.

If you allow this to happen to your Country = = Maybe you deserve it !

Maybe Ireland deserves what it has let the Politicians do ? !

I lifted this in its entirety from a Linkedin post -


A college economics professor stated that he had never failed an exam, but he once failed an entire group. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, everyone is EQUAL!

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.
All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.
As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6! When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

It couldn't be a simpler explanation. The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they can not work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore , because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation...

Niagara was a shithole when I was there about 20 years ago so I can only imagine it now, I never ever want to go there ever again. And it is worse on the American side. And it is or eas full of low class tourists because anyone that wants to see a waterfall can to to africa where there is a decent one

I made an Irish spice bag over the weekend. This marked the first time I'd ever tried one. I followed an online recipe to the letter, although I did use Mcdonnels spice bag seasoning mix. My thoughts are as follows:

1745821226226.png



This thing is weird. It's very, very strange .I am convinced that whoever conceived of this thing had to have been an obese, gluttonous alcoholic, and the idea came to him whe, stumbling down the cobbles at 2:00AM and being unable to decide whether he wanted to eat KFC, Indian, hot chips or chinese, he bought all of them, mixed them up in a bucket, and ate the mixture directly from said bucket on all fours. This probably went down in the shower cubicle.

Was it bad? No. That's not what I'm saying here. It was actually quite good, admittedly. What I am saying is that this isn't a dish. This is not a creation. This is not any type of cuisine. It's a panoply of soused, late-night-stumble-home-street-food-hankerings-for-a-bit-of-everything. The fact that as a synergy, this somehow miraculously works does nothing to improve the fact that it is completely fucking insane and depraved--a lumbering drunkard's pissed cravings-of-the-ID writ large. It is Ireland's equivalent of Skittlebrau:

The spice dog doesn't ask 'what if'? It explicitly states 'I am. I was created by a gunted big sweaty fat cunt with a face that looked like it had been nailed to a barn door for a decade, and he was so many pints of the black stuff down the tube when he thought me into existence that he got tossed from O'Malley's for taking a shit in the urinal, and if any part of that bothers you, go eat what he left behind, because that man didn't know what he wanted, which was everything, and I'm here to make sure he and everybody else like him fucking gets it'.

Would I have it again? Probably. I hate myself for typing that because I've never wanted to dislike something more than this complete fucking I.Q 65 abomination of a thing, frankensteined as it is from a rub-a-dub's late night street cart cravings. This isn't to sing the virtues of the spice bag, understand. All this proves is that I'm a degenerate. I would probably also eat, and enjoy, a bento tray consisting of the beef patty of a big mac, the skin from two wicked wings, some jalapeños, and the topping scraped from a supreme pizza, especially if I was two sheets to the wind after a pub crawl. The fact that I liked it has no bearing on anything.


Edit: I didn't add the curry sauce. There was only so far I was willing to go, or ever will be. I'm not fucking mad.

The McDonnels Curry Sauce is absolutely full of sugar for a supposed Curry Sauce.

I can only assume that the McDonnels spice bag would be the same. I assume what happened is that when Curry was introduced to Ireland ( the McDonnels Curry ) they put a load of sugar in to it to attract the Irish customers ~ ~ You don't have to back that long to have Irish people putting a load of sugar in Tea.

McDonnels were feeding the Irish market with what they believed the Irish Market desired i.e. A Load of sugar in the McDonnels Curry.

I have vert strong doubts that Real Curry Aficionados would consider McDonnels Curry Sauce as Curry ~ ~ More of a sugary substance with a little added curry powder !

Also ~ ~ I expect that there are also very high levels of Salt in the McDonnels products !

Diabetes is rampant in India due to the amount of sugar they consume in their food, they have a sweeter tooth than the Irish by that measure.

The spice bag mix tasted like 5 spice, msg, and sugar.

Fishalt is deliberately winding me up not putting that (admittedly very good) post in the Culinary thread.

He's still angry with me over something a few weeks ago. :(

The only people that I know that eat spice bags are teenagers. For some reason it seems to appeal to their palate.

We Christians are Big On Forgiveness!

Forgive Myles O'Reilly Please, Fishalt.

Myles commits the occasional, small sin / offence, but he generally regrets these indiscretions !

We have to stick together, when / if, possible !

Thank you Sir. Unfortunately Fishalt is an atheist so he mightn't have much forgiveness in him :(
Forgiveness is one of the good things about Christianity ~ ~ One does have to be selective as to who one forgives !

There are some, that should probably ushered along to meet their, Make-er / Almighty Judge !

I like to reserve both options ! !

Fishalt does not fall in to the second category!
