Re: Making a good stew (Beef or other)

How are curries, Dals, Kormas, Tikkas, Hot Pots et al classed as Stews - they aren't, plain and simple! The name gives it away does it not? "Braised" meat is way closer to a stew than the above, but is still not a stew..... I'll give you "Lancashire Hot Pot", but "Sichuan Ho...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

We all know that there is a degree of state ownership/sponsorship/subsidy in all China's larger international companies, a bigger problem will emerge when the west starts hitting such companies with huge import duties, as the US has with EV's, hence the importance of Europe.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

^I doubt if China's problems are helped by being the world's largest importer of fossil fuels. Not quite as simple as that - look at how they are used. This also leads to another very valid point regarding EV's, how is the electricity used to power them produced? I worked on numerous power stations...

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Posting here rather than the "China Thread" as I feel there are more issues to come to light with regards to Chinese EV Makers/Producers.. And their "investors". I'm quoting friends and relatives here (at this stage), but with the huge discontent within China over the dire job ma...

I should warn you: there are no pictures and some of the words are quite long... :duck: As always, your comments shall be treated with the contempt that they deserve....

Re: Premier League 2023-24

Plus Salah's been shite for seven games now. And one or two others can join him I guess. Salah was quite poor I believe when he went for the "Africa Cup of Nations" - is that the same for others amongst the EPL teams? As much as they do run around like girls (yep - sorry), they do run (OK...

What the bollocks has happened to Liverpool? Once on for a "Quadrupole" , now pretty much ZIP. Is the Manager to blame, the Players (have they stopped playing), the Hype.... Plenty of injuries I hear, but many others in the same situation surely? Hell's Teeth, I really thought they could d...
