Thanks, that's really helpful. If you manage to find a supplier for the board I'd be keen to get a few.

I've had the same Xbox One pad since I bought the xbox one. I do also have 4 broken xbox one pads my mate has had fail on him which I'm looking to fix up - on each one the problem is with the stick drifting or getting stuck in one direction. It's theoretically a quick and inexpensive job to replace a stick but it's a fiddly bit of de-soldering to handle.

I had their BFG (Black Forest Gose) and really enjoyed it. A lot of those pastry sour type things are disappointing but this hits all of the black forest notes and the salt really elevates it.

Sea Buckthorn is great, I had it in a cocktail and a sorbet at Ginfest a few years ago and ended up buying a few bottles of juice from a tiny provider in Scotland but I never got through it all as I wasn't sure what to do with it. A big trend that's been driven by Tik Tok and Youtube is the 15hr potato. Basically confit thin slices of potato in olive oil and then press them into a loaf tin and leave it in the fridge overnight. Slice it into cubes and deep fry so you get this crunchy, multi-layered potato.

It's a plant which has leaves that tastes of lemon.

You could get a growler with a tap and then have your local fill it up off the keg lines, or even buy those little 5l kegs some breweries are doing rather than locking yourself into a proprietary system. https://www.wildbeerco.com/browse/c-Mini-Kegs-51 https://www.sirencraftbrew.com/browse/c-Mini-Kegs-58

Allardyce has been such a fucking disaster.

Dehydrators are used a lot in raw/vegan cooking so that might be a good place to start for ideas. Personally, I'd be looking to make things I could dehydrate and then turn into a powder for homemade crisp flavourings.

The other stock seeing attention is AMC - it went from $5 to $20 yesterday. Blackberry and Nokia were also seeing activity but not to the same level.

They have been working through the pandemic and obviously quorn's sales have been up. Seems a bit stupid to be shitty to workers when you're customer base is mostly left leaning.

Just an FYI - Quorn staff are going on strike in Feb because the company won't give them a pay rise.

If the Mega CD is going to be up for sale I could be interested.

I'm in the same boat so it looks like I need to send an email. Bit of an odd way to do business but maybe the demand took them by surprise.

Clays is fantastic, the actual restaurant isn't much to look at - it's a small, windowless place - but the service is fantastic and there are some stand out dishes that haven't made it onto the delivery service - paneer majestic is like nothing I've ever tasted before, and the kodi chips are incredibly morish. If you are local to the area, Orwells do a tasting menu which I'm eager to try too but it's collection only. I've eaten at the restaurant and it was great, far better than the much more expensive L'ortalan. https://www.theorwellscommunityshop.co.uk/theorwellsexperience
