        Agreed.

        I’m not a huge fan of white bread but I’m unfortunate to live in a house with a bunch of white-bread lovers.

          Snow

          By Louis MacNeice

          The room was suddenly rich and the great bay-window was
          Spawning snow and pink roses against it
          Soundlessly collateral and incompatible:
          World is suddener than we fancy it.

          World is crazier and more of it than we think,
          Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion
          A tangerine and spit the pips and feel
          The drunkenness of things being various.

          And the fire flames with a bubbling sound for world
          Is more spiteful and gay than one supposes—
          On the tongue on the eyes on the ears in the palms of one’s hands—
          There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses.

            Your twitter feed must be something to behold.

            Cheers for the poem Nigel. Really beautiful. I’ve never read that one before.

            Twitter is grand, it’s great for breaking news and, unlike here, if someone is gacking on you can just block them.

            I checked out broadsheets Instagram there
            2014
            obviously thought it was a bad idea

            I mean, there’s all sorts of crazystupid on twitter, but you can control whatever comes across your feed absolutely. You can worry about the echo-chamber effect if you like, but so long as you avoid the toxic and the aggressive you can have all sorts of points of view, or you can just have poetry and art all day, or stuff about science. One trick is to try to read the articles or stories that get linked (that interest you) rather than skim headlines or tag-lines as if they’re tweets themselves.

    Wait, are people actually buying loads of bread because they think it’s hilarious?!

    Also, would it not kill people to eat a bit of wholegrain?

    1. Papi

      This. Why is there not a rush on soup, and stew and other nice warming foods? Bread? Doomsday Preppers don’t be hoarding bread!

    I’m sure that the Data Commissioner would have an issue with a store releasing footage like this.

    1. mildred st. meadowlark

      I’m sure he/she has bigger things to worry about than that.

      She said, with absolutely no idea who the Data Commissioner is or what in fact they actually do.

      White bread is essential for an egg and sausage sanger which I will have for breakfast as I’m off till Monday. I type this after me and herself scoffed 3 bottles of Syrah tonight. Expect grumpiness tomorrow :-)

        1. Bertie Blenkinsop

          Scottser is a drummer iirc.

          He’s used to his hands and feet doing several things at once rhythmically.
          I’d say drummers are second only to plate spinners in bed.
          No, I’m not a plate spinner sadly, my plates are more like a Greek wedding.

            I’m probably going to regret asking, but.

            Who use their feet in bed? Unless you are pleasuring, like, six women at a time?

            Just to tap out the percussion beat like
            to compliment the bongo bum base line
            feel free to jump in here Scottser and give us a demo

    1 day, maybe 2, of shops closed and people panic buy bread. Bread? Of all things. Surely, give then days ahead, wine/beer/spirits and material for a good fry-up are more of a focal point.

    Bread or no bread, no toast here
    power out

          Just saw on the news about Portmarnock and Malahide.
          Unlucky.
          Hopefully it’s only temporary :)

      1. Janet, I ate my Avatar

        I can only be vague
        I haven’t had coffee
        I repeat no coffee
        About to blacken the arse of a lot for water

          1. Janet, I ate my Avatar

            Treat her like a lady, and she’ll always bring you home
            Beem me bleeding up Papi
            This Portmarnock cannot support human life forms

          2. Lilly

            Oh no! That’s terrible Janet. I saw something on Twitter ‘in case of power outage: candles, battery for your torch etc’ and thought, what candles, what torch… All’s well for now, tucked up in bed with a cup of tea and a good book. Bliss.

            hey ! Saved !
            went for a run figured might as well be hung for sheep as a lamb
            should see the waves down the coast, gorgeous
            And it’s back on, yippy
            just in time for eggs, hot shower and back to bed for the day with Netflix
            bring it on Emma

          4. Janet, I ate my Avatar

            Yes yes I do anyone, it’s fabulous
            And I worked hard for years non stop to deserve it
