I used the BBC Good Foods recipe for a cottage pie, however I thinly sliced the onions so they cook slower and sweat differently with the carrots and celery.
People also told me the red wine doesn't matter, however I chose some rather fruity and full bodied wines with the sauce/gravy - I think this really made a difference and the flavours really pop. I tried weaker red wines and they just don't bring out the flavour in the same way.

Two things: satekroket in Amsterdam, from FEBO (I'm addicted to them whenever I go), and cottage pie I've been making from scratch.

This is what I use. Stremio, Torrentio add-on for Torrent sources, and a bit of tinkering so I don't see the paid options. Works pretty well for single episodes of some shows (for others I download the box set).

Edit: I mean it works for full shows, but when I really like a show enough I'll have a hard drive copy.

Probably for the experiences. The sort of things kids do in these schools seem more lavish, I mean, as much as I enjoyed my school trip to a farm I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing they'd consider.
Although David Cameron did shag a pig, so not sure if that's true for all of those schools.

When I was in university, one of the source materials required was at an absurd price. The lecturer made a point that it makes no sense to spend that much money on something we are unlikely to use beyond the module, so she encouraged us to use Z-Library and provided links. I really miss her, she was an absolutely fantastic lecturer.

They prefer to be called little planets, tyvm.

Once I was going out with someone, and her step dad had hearing problems and slurred speech.
When I introduced myself to him, he misheard my name as 't-rex' yet when he repeated it, I thought he was saying my name.

This went on for two years, until finally in conversation he mentioned that my name is t rex, which led to the hilarious realisation and correction.
Apparently he didn't question it because he thought that's a young person thing and left it at that haha. Fair enough.

My cats need me to tell them good morning with cuddles, or they get upset. I video call with them when I'm on holiday, and they rub their faces on the phone.
Can't beat that sort of affection, they brighten my days.

I've been playing Rayman on my Miyoo Mini, it's been a great throwback!

Could be a bit of both, with examples of intersectionality provided by folks with those mindsets occasionally.

I took speed twice in my life, and the first time I thought it would help with a presentation and I ended up researching about the dogs in the film The Duchess for three hours. My lecturer was happy with the full history of the dogs, though.

The second time I used it to clean my house. I have no interest in doing amphetamines again, and this was nearly a decade ago, however I will say my house has never looked as clean as those few hours. I was getting into the grooves with a toothbrush at one point. 3 bedroom house cleaned top to bottom in half a day.

Weed and food. The former isn't a problem, the latter can be.

When I'm stressed I have to consciously be very aware of my eating. During lockdown I was spending a hundreds per month on just food.
Within two years after lockdown ending, I managed to lose 36KG. I try my best to keep a good weight, and I'm within acceptable ranges as per the BMI, however every once in a while I would have a bad day and eat an entire extra large pizza to myself for lunch.
