A bit random, but...
If there are any UKers on a fitness drive / losing weight, Iceland does a particularly impressive selection of meals from Slimming World and MyProtein that are surprisingly good. I've not tried them all yet, but of the ones I have tried, they've all been decently tasty for the macros. Given Iceland's reputation for being a cheap (shit?) frozen food vendor, I was very surprised.
Really refreshing to see Slimming World understanding that the key to decent "diet" food isn't just reducing fat (and maybe calories), but packing it chock full of protein. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't eat only that sort of thing, but it's nice to know you've got something in a freezer for when you can't be arsed (and might otherwise be tempted by a takeaway).

Putting buckets on the heads of shop owners and robbing them blind in Skyrim comes to mind.
Just got an anti-Sadiq Khan YouTube ad decrying his "obsession" with ULEZ regulation.
I haven't encountered such a nakedly opinionated political ad in years so in a way it was a fun novelty.
I don't live even close to London though, so lol.

Just had a look, 500-550g is pretty good for one meal.
Tesco do some Gym Kitchen ones that are quite nice. They're only about £2.50 each but only 400g.
This means that your migration path has been judged intolerable.
They might start arming the Anti-Duck missiles!
A lot of the Gym Kitchen ones are a more traditional style of fitness meal. Good macros, but sadly many taste like cardboard (and they're badly in need of seasoning / spice).
I had a Slimming World Beef Tagliatelle a few nights back, and was impressed by the sheer volume of it. Something like 500kcal, with 50g of protein, and left me decently full afterwards. Salt & Pepper Chicken Chow Mein was good too, with even lower calorie to protein ratio.
Edit - Best part is, Iceland do free (and fast) delivery. Went through their site last night working out the macros, and if I wanted I could have had the delivery turn up today (I went for tomorrow to save £2, lol).
Pick of the bunch for macros?
Though I'm yet to try any of those, so don't take that as a recommendation on taste!

Not to turn this thread into shilling for Iceland, but their chicken skewers are also really good. I tart them up with some sauce, but dead easy to just stick with some rice and salad if you don't have much time.

Most ready meals are just way too small for me. I've tried having them before, but I always end up wanting or having something extra.
Can the sky decide if it wants to be grey or blue? Sick of it changing its mind every 30 minutes
For the small ones I'd generally just pad them out with a steam veg. Just throw it into the microwave at the same time and give them maybe 1m 30s more than you originally needed to.
Just some new Super Villain testing out their weather machine.
well they wouldn't be doing their jobs as villains if they did that now, would they?
This happened yesterday and it was so bizarre. Just normal overcast day and then literally as if someone had emptied a swimming pool up in the sky. White out rain, barely see anything in front, hail. Like I know heavy rain but this was torrential. Then 5 minutes later stopped and normal overcast rest of the day. It was so sudden the water on the roads didn't have time to drain and just flooded. Wild.
That's a good idea :) Better that than padding them out with something like garlic bread lol.
Think I'm gonna move my broadband to Virgin. It's finally available in our area.
Only worry is the installation. Honestly have no idea how they'd do it, but I suppose they say it's available so they clearly think they can lol. Just have a sinking feeling that something might go wrong.

You've just reminded me, those wankers at Octopus still haven't got back to me about this fucking meter installation (still don't have gas readings).
They'll run a cable to your house and need to drill through to the inside somewhere. Usually some flexibility - they ran ours up the side passage to come into the house at the side in our living room which was convenient for us.
It set off car alarms on my road. Not the thunder, the hail. It's madness
Thanks, though I was being a bit silly there with the worry. Turns out they did the whole 'digging up the pavement' thing last year, and I just forgot completely lol. My house has now got a Virgin Media outlet literally right in front of it, so all they'll need to do is route the cable through to where my current router is. Should be a fairly simple job for them.
I don't stock bread because either Jubilant Duck steals it, or Kyuuji Steals it then blames it on the duck.
Along with the FT, the last bastion of real journalism.
The fact that Liz Truss is picking a fight with a lettuce, and is losing, could very well be the best thing she has ever done for society.

We should say F for lettuce liz who according to her book extracts was deeply unhappy that as prime minister she couldn't just nip out to the shops whenever she wanted.
I think they should do all that, and put a big tarpaulin over it, and tell Greg his statue is ready, and arrange a big unveiling ceremony that Greg invites all his mates and family to, and then whip the tarpaulin off and
Anyone here done inter-railing around the Nordics (or an alternate route)? I don't drive FWIW.
Considering it as a change of pace and thinking something like Tromso - Oslo - Stockholm - Gothenburg - Lund/Malmo - Copenhagen - Berlin, probably early/Mid-July for 10ish days all in.
Gothenburg and Lund/Malmo not absolutely necessary, and Lund/Malmo you can get to easiuly ona day triup from CPH.

What did Gregg Wallace do to hurt you :(
