  • I think it probably still has to be Christmas sandwiches. It’s a whole British style Christmas dinner in a sandwich.

    • Slices of freshly roasted turkey
    • Stuffing
    • Sliced up roasted pork sausages
    • Bacon
    • Baked ham
    • Baby peas
    • Bread sauce
    • Thick, salty, meaty turkey gravy
    • Cranberry sauce

    The key is in stacking it high without it all falling over and then squishing it all down to hold it’s shape. Traditionally for my family it’s the most commercial, crappy supermarket white sliced bread you can find, but I have had it with some pretty yummy sourdough. The bread is important because with all the greasy mushy sauces, it needs a tight crumb structure so you don’t get bits of sauce coming through the holes as you bite. You want something soft because you don’t want to be chewing and tearing hard crusts whilst trying to keep the delicate sandwich all together, but if it’s too soft then it tends to fall apart from all the moisture in the gravy and bread sauce. Sometimes toasting just the inner faces of the bread can work, but it has to be lightly toasted to make sure the bread retains some flexibility during the squish down step.

    We all like the sandwiches even more than the actual Christmas dinner, which is already awesome.


  • Cheapest Logitech mouse I could find in the supermarket about 6-7 years ago.

    As others have said, it might be more to do with my browser choice, browser settings and extensions. That said I remember when I first started seeing these years ago that sometimes it’d think I was a robot and sometimes it wouldn’t and maybe it was a placebo effect, but I felt fairly confident then that me jiggling the mouse really helped. Now it doesn’t matter what I do. My natural movement, a deliberately wonky but still single and continuous movement or a totally artificial mouse wiggle after the clock, I’ll always have to do captchas.
