I thought it was a message about prioritising free time, until I saw the community it is posted in lol.

Eggy in a basket. Many may know of it from V For Vendetta, and as much as I'd like to show off: I saw it on there first as well (all those years ago), but my gosh is it satisfying!

Butter one side of thick-sliced bread, use a small glass to cut a hole in the middle, plop some butter into a pan, put the un-buttered side down and crack an egg into the middle, and once it's cooked enough flip it for a bit and then serve.
It takes practise to get the timing, of when to flip, right but once you do it's just buttery and eggy and definitely comforts me well.

Isn't this only for the Swedish models?

Thank you. I didn't realise how much tea Britons drink, until I lived in America for a few years (apparently taking a box of teabags to work isn't normal, who knew!)
Fun fact: all British military tanks are filled with water heating units, which is often used for tea breaks.

I know my method is going to make people cringe, however hear me out:
Let's say you are making for ten people, put ten cups out then pour the water first.
Gently place a bag atop the water and have it naturally float down, in each of the cups.
You'll be able to see the oils, tannins, etc. slowly seeping out of the teabag and gather at the bottom of each cup. This provides a good visual indicator of the brewing.

Once there is a dark layer covering the bottom of the cups, usually takes 1-2 minutes or so, give them all a stir, remove the teabags, then apply the sugar as needed to all cups, then the milk to all cups.

Makes it quick and efficient, rather than dealing with a cup at a time. Also every cup will have been brewed for the same intensity too, no randomly weak cups!

Seeing kids smile, hearing them laugh. Like, if I'm on the bus and I hear a baby laughing, with those early crackly chuckles they get, it just taps into something within me and brightens my mood. Very difficult to frown with such pure happiness around.

Thank goodness. They're such misunderstood creatures.

I quite liked the ending, and thought it was a hilarious way to finish it. Maybe I'm alone, however I honestly did like that as it seemed typical of a Monty Python thing.

I think this is why I love the Netherlands so much. People are just direct! Not once have I thought people were rude. If this is an issue for you, I would definitely recommend a place like Amsterdam.
And omg the trams..

I genuinely prefer Ronan Keating's version of Words

I have the Bee Gees original on vinyl, yet I always go back to Keating.

Ah fuck. Sorry man, I hope someone can figure it out. It's a very new game, so hopefully more people take enough notice for a fix to be implemented.

Otherwise, I found an article which seems to allude to advanced volume settings to 'normalise audio', on an Xbox, in a similar way: https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/hardware-network/display-sound/choosing-speaker-audio-output

If you're using a Playstation, it may be worth digging around in your system settings. Sometimes the option is referred to as 'equalise', 'dynamic range', etc.

Hope this helps!

Sponsorblock usually helps with that.
