Yes. I have a good British friend who lives in Slovakia in the 'disputed' zone, which is really quite big.

It's all just posturing and everybody in Hungary knows it. There's a lot of Hungarians in Slovakia, who vote in Hungarian elections despite never having lived there (they vote for Orban mostly, he gave them the vote as I understand it) - I'm not saying the Hungary-Slovakian border is like the...

I think there's a confluence of several factors, but to the extent that's true - what was there really to be done? Join antifa? It seems a bit thin.

Once upon a time, there was talk that Corbyn was going to hand over the reins to Lisa Nandy after a couple of years. Sounds strange now, but there it is. We're almost certainly going to get some electoral boundary 'revisions', and probably some media 'reforms' and a bunch of other stuff which I...

I can't really say much about that tbh, I take a toke if it's going but I don't really go looking for it. In the Jewish Quarter, there's a 'cereal cafe' which claims to be the only cereal cafe in Budapest. There is, however, another one up the street. The food is really good generally though -...

Sorry Rich, that question was for me? If so, what kind of thing do you want to know?

I made fusilli with white wine, garlic, butter, mushrooms and rocket for myself and a friend. Haven't got round to buying black pepper yet, but I had spare sachets from Burger King.

I moved to Budapest. It's awesome. Well I like it.

I think RationlWiki takes Haidt down quite effectively:

I was a fish eater for a bit then had a vegetarian girlfriend who kind of made me go full veg. I ended up cheating and eating meat behind her back - it was glorious. I remember we were watching some talking heads show (Grumpy Old Men, I think), and Jeremy Hardy was explaining how he had...

Vegetarianism is pretty middle of the road thesedays. Like the vegetarians who ate fish twenty years ago.

The goal of optimum nutrition often goes unstated - what might make you superman today, might take 10 years off your life. Fitness and health are not necessarily the same thing. At the extreme end of that, you have Stan Efferding's Vertical Diet. Performance today, Cancer tomorrow - ok, that's...

I actually fasted for 5 days over Christmas - just water and salts. Actually I had some ACV and coffee. I wouldn't recommend it tbh though. Fortuitously, I found a massive free-range Turkey in Lidl for £2 on the day I broke my fast and fed like a lion in the days afterwards. 40 hours can be...

Cole Robinson, ladies and gentleman

Well "For the many, not for the few" proved open to punning as well.

That sounds prescriptive, what do you have in mind?

Brexit is saving lives.

One of the things I liked about Bulgaria was the Cyrillic - like I could make out the odd word here and there but it required an act of will. Otherwise all the text was just pretty pictures, not really text at all - it was strangely liberating. Obviously it's too easy to go the other way and...

West London suburbs, family are all from Glasgow.

Neil Tennant, lad from the North East. If he had been born 40 years later, he'd be Darren Grimes.
