What worries me, Phil, is that you were more focused on the young girl than the actual purpose of the stream.Did you know Jimmy Saville?
Quote from: romain on September 21, 2020, 04:49 AMThis is one of quite a few FaceBook curry groups. There's Curry Club, The Secret Curry Club, The Curry Club (Home Cooking) and others. They are popular. The biggest one has somewhere around 50K members. They are all quite active. There are some that have been here and on the other forum participating. It's a mix of accomplished cooks, beginners and everything in between.The biggest differences, I think, are the volume of traffic (much higher), and the diversity of participants. There's a lot enthusiasm and the desire to cook and share. There's also a lot of uninformed opinion. There are trolls. There are spats. But they tend to get drowned out by the volume. The concept of a flame war doesn't really exist. It's hopelessly disorganized. It doesn't have the carefully managed library of recipes that one would find here. The search function works pretty well though. I suspect Facebook licenses technology from Google. I think of it as a huge party with many, many conversations going on at once. I have met some truly excellent cooks and all around nice people in these groups. It is, like anything, going to give back in proportion to what you put into it. I'm a little old school and do prefer forums for their structure but there are some really good on-topic FB groups out there.Maybe it's time that CRO ventured into the Facebook world. Could be fun and attract more curry fans with whom we can share thoughts etc. Something to look into Mr Owner?

Where are yours?Actually, please disregard this last comment. Someone (Phil, Yousef, other) will point out this I have been fueling a flame war that is not aligned with the goals of this forum and they will be right. Yousef - I apologize for bringing this mess to your house...

Social distancing at Bondi Beach yesterday. Well it was 34 'C.
Cambridge research team working towards a vaccine against COVID-19And key bullet points for self-preservation from the WHO (full material here) :Basic protective measures against the new coronavirusWash your hands frequentlyMaintain social distancingAvoid touching eyes, nose and mouthPractice respiratory hygieneIf you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care earlyStay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provider
Stay safe everyone. Apart from all the bad which is happening, I hope some good changes in society emerge as a result of this. Perhaps more willingness to help one another and not so much selfishness will be a good lesson to stand us in good stead in the future.
Unfortunately, this appears to be the exact opposite to what is actually occuring, out here anyway. Selfishness and panic buying have grown beyond the levels we could ever have imagined only last week. What began as a bit of a curiosity with toilet paper has now spread to every available commodity. Supermarket shelves, refrigerated and freezer areas have been stripped bare. There is no flour, sugar or pasta. Yesterday meat and potatoes simply disappeared.
I am told that much the same situation obtains in Bodmin, tho' I confess I haven't bothered to investigate for myself. It might be interesting to take a trip to Bookers', tho', to see whether local traders are panicking as much as local shoppers
I do hope we don't follow other countries in banning nearly all trips away from home. Where's the risk if one goes out for a walk, cycle ride or drive in the car and avoid other people?
