Expanding charter

Thanks everyone for the overwhelming support for DidiForPresident! We've had some great feedback, and we've agreed to expand the charter with the following item:

- We want to grant Australia as a nation the power to veto any EU president that is not of Icelandic, Swedish or Scotish descent. This should add an element of clarity and distance in the election process and a useful balance of power.

Sichuan soup and Didi

I'm trying a new approach to worcestershire sauce. If you use too much of it, it tastes British Pub. But in the background, it makes sweet stuff more adult. Add it to a kiwi/pineapple blend and oh my god how delicious!
Tofu on the other hand has joined chili on the central pedistal of my life. I've learned how to make an excellent soup centred on bamboo shoots and rice vinegar- add tofu, chili, sichuan pepper and bean paste to make it 'sichuan'. It's so easy to make, I expect it to become a regular (if not daily!) feature on the Dundee menu.

It is not all about food though. I'm currently working on setting up a fan-club for Didi: DidiForPresident.com. The charter of this club will be to change the EU laws in the following way:
- We want a permanent EU presidency with limitless powers over all countries in the union. We would prefer a dictatorship, but expect this may be difficult to get past some of the larger countries. Limitless power is a good compromise.
- We want the minimum age for candidates for this presidency to be reduced to 15. We don't expect to amass the required support for another 10 months or so, so we thing that will work well.
- We want citizens of Scotland, Sweden and Iceland to have FIVE votes each in all elections (including the vote for presidency), to recognize their cultural SU-PE-RI-O-RI-TY.

We're not yet open for new members, but do post your interest in the comment section.
