Hush. I've got a three hour exam to do. Am I nervous? Not at all... 😬

Ahem. I'll draw your attention to preamble pie definition.

You're not getting away with that. Next you'll be saying pork pies aren't pies, because they're not baked in a tin. They're traditionally cooked on a tray without a tin. You'll be claiming they're a pork pasty next!

EBay packing.

It's simply a folded pie. Like a Calzone pizza 😜

Is the filling encased in a pastry? Or a cake based version of it? It is just another variant. It is a pastry pie and defined as a pastry in pâtisserie terms. I'm not expanding anything. It is yourself trying to move the goalposts.

By another name. Pâtisserie is french for pastry maker. They just specialised in desserts and sweet pies.

When did 'charisma' become a necessity for efficient leadership? We had plenty with Boris Johnson and look where that got us.

I'm arguing over what a pie is. Come join us. Politics be damned.

Apparently they only made meat pies for special occasions. They made sweet pies (didn't go off in the heat). By the way, a Calzone pizza becomes a pie when it's turned over and sealed 😂🍕

Not pies that you ate the outer shell of pastry of. It was the cooking vessel itself. Whereas the Egyptians had a chicken pie to eat back in 2000BC. Backward Roman heathens.

A potato filling is a good and condoned ingredient along with others. Filling.

They've actually entered a few into the British Pie Awards in the past! They admit it's a pie!

It's a simply pie covered in sweet pastry. Pâtisserie: The French word pâtisserie originates from pastissier (pastry cook) and is similarly derived from the Latin pasta.

I refer you back to the etymology. They're pies by another name, but with sweet pastry or sweet flaky pastry.

Apple pie? Cherry pie? Dessert pie, anyone?

Thing is Anna. Dead men do tell tales. They leave facial imprints on things during crashes. Their DNA. Their fingerprints. Why defendants think this is a clever move escapes me. 30 years ago, maybe.

I don't know, but they do to save their own skins.

Pasties definitely qualify. The etymology is quite clear. The history buff should know this.

Yes. An experienced investigator can point to various areas that led to his conclusions and back it up with data. Disputes about who was the driver? It has been known for a defendant to put a dead passenger in the driver's seat before or near the door and claim they were driving.

Are you saying 'Big Pastry' control the narrative?

The secret Pie Illuminati.

Judging: Expert panel including chefs, food critics, butchers, and bakers evaluate pies based on appearance, pastry quality, filling, and flavour.

Read it and weep at number 5 in class. British Pie Awards 2026.

Yes tyre marks are still necessary, but ABS takes that away a lot these days. It can see every detail. You can push the scanner inside the car and it merges it all together. You can examine the interior AND exterior at the time of the incident.

Has anyone asked @psychicsquirrel.bsky.social * his opinion?
*snitch tagging.

Simply? Yes. In combination with other things. They were looking at a handheld scanner that cost £40,000 each. I showed them it can be done for £4,000. Drone was going to £50,000. Dave drone, £18,000.

From what I've read they discount mashed potato as a legitimate pie covering. It has to have a pastry bottom and top sealed together.

This day closes a chapter I proposed 12 years ago and was laughed out of the room. Combining VR, 3D, video and photography. You replace the body or car with an avatar and manipulate it with simulated real world dynamics to accurately reconstruct what happened.

Investigators spend hours at scenes with laser scanning, photos and video as separate things. If it can be all done in one go with it infinitely visited in detail & measured to mm scale, like walking round the room on the day inspecting things closely, it can save huge amounts of time and money.
