A charcuterie lover has shared a £20 cheese board she created from purchases at Aldi.

Although she has experience making $1,000 worth of cheese boards for customers, she explained that the food didn’t have to be expensive.

Laurens (@loverboards) shared in a TikTok video how she saved money while building the board.

“Cheese boards don’t have to be expensive and this year I heard we’re making loud cuts, so I’m going to show you how to make this cheese board at Aldi for just $20,” she said.

During a trip to the supermarket chain, she picked up goat cheese, cheddar, parmesan, brie, prosciutto, pita crackers, dark sea salt chocolate, apples and raspberries.

After checking out, she revealed that her total for all ingredients was only $20.34.

At home, she cut the cheeses into cubes and began assembling her plate, stacking and layering the different cheeses.

With the prosciutto, she rolled the meat into flowers and artfully placed the pieces between the cheeses.

She filled in the last bits of space on the plate with crackers, chocolate and fruit.

The charcuterie expert does experience creating signs worth thousandsincluding one where she charged her customers $1,100 for a full table spread.

To fill an entire L-shaped table with an aesthetically pleasing yet delicious snack board to feed about 80 people, it took her 55 tries to assemble the large cheese treat.

People were impressed by her creative and budget-friendly ideas.

“I spent almost $500 on meat and cheese for a party of twelve and it didn’t even amount to 10% of this beautiful display!” said one commenter.

Others encouraged her to raise prices for her services.

“This seems way too expensive for just the food. Then get started with the beauty of that layout!” said one viewer.

“I need a breakdown of costs because you should have charged a lot more,” said another.

A HUGE 9 meter wide wooden decking covering the front garden of a flat will have to be torn away after a council investigation.

Homeowner Leon Yemm has been embroiled in a row over the wooden platform outside his flat in Trevethin, Wales, since 2018.

His fence is currently seven meters long and nine meters and almost the size of half a tennis court.

Leon decking also comes with additional posts, beams and pergola, all of which need to be removed along with half of the fencing.

The decking will be reduced to 3.8 meters outwards and 9.7 meters wide, which is most of the width of the property.

Four people wrote to Torfaen council supporting Leon's application, with some offering to submit 'written representations' in support of the homeowner.

However, others criticized the decking, with one labeling it an 'ecological eyesore', before adding that it would be 'morally wrong' to apply for planning permission after construction.

“The impact on the character and appearance of the area and neighbors should be taken into consideration, together with any biodiversity improvements,” planning officer Gemma Evans said.

She added that the fencing would appear “excessively prominent” after removing the pergola and reducing its size.

One condition requires a wooden nest box to be installed in the backyard to meet “biodiversity requirements.”

It comes after locals expressed anger after a Russian oligarch was given permission to build a fence they called 'ugly and prison-like'.

Alexander Mosionzhik applied late last year to have a six-foot fence installed around his Buckinghamshire mansion, which cost £2.8 million.

He argued this was for safety reasons and claimed there had been an increase in anti-social behaviour, including vandalism and arson.

But the oligarch was blasted by neighbors who said the fence, which they called the Berlin Wall, would be an eyesore in their upscale village of Marley Bottom.

Elsewhere, devastated homeowners say their gardens were flooded after developers blew up a huge estate next door.

Taylor Wimpey agreed to build a privacy fence around Amanda and Mick Tolhursts' garden as they built houses in Uckfield, East Sussex.

But when builders dug crater-sized trenches around the couple's property, it caused flooding in their garden.

A traveler has sparked heated debate after revealing they always board a plane with the first group. He added that he regularly lies to sneak onto the plane first.

LinkedIn user Dickie Bush faced a furious backlash when he took to the website to talk about his personal flying habits – which include always making sure he's one of the first people to get on a plane, no matter which boarding group he's in classified.

The Florida resident's post was shared on Reddit, where people were quick to condemn his behavior, with one even labeling him an “asshole,” reigniting the ongoing debate over airplane etiquette — just days after an airline passenger sparked outrage. because she put her feet on someone else's chair.

Posting in a Reddit thread titled 'Delta', people on the internet debated whether it is acceptable to ignore what's on your boarding pass and board the plane first.

The post was captioned: “I saw this 'advice' and comments on LinkedIn – these are the assholes who are ruining things for everyone.”

Dickie's original comment was attached to the Reddit post, which revealed one of the many tips he shared when it comes to airports and flying.

In tip number two from the list, he said, “Be in group one, regardless of your group. 99 percent of the time they don't say anything. Worst case scenario, they tell you to wait, and then you're the first one when they call your actual group.”

Although Dickie shared several tips as part of his post, it was this advice that sparked much discussion on Reddit and LinkedIn.

Some people flooded the comments section on LinkedIn, praising him for his advice, adding that they are doing the same.

However, one person warned others against trying it on certain flights, writing: 'I always try to get into group one but my last three flights have had scanning barriers and only let you through after a designated group call.'

Someone else said: 'The boarding group is literally a farce.'

'They really don't care which group you are in. I tell them I'm a silver ticket holder and they let me through,” said another.

“Number two is spot on, flown everywhere… the only call I'll wait for is the one to let families with kids go first,” another user added.

One user wrote: 'Great advice so you can give dirty looks when latecomers try to squeeze their huge bags into the little holes that are left.'

“From now on, do number two forever,” someone else admitted.

However, on Reddit the reactions were much more negative, with people calling out Dickie for his brutal confession.

One person said, “I've seen so many examples of Delta Gate agents calling people in for trying to board early. They probably don't care if you board in zone 3 in zone 1, but people try to board during 1st class or comfort plus, it seems like they get called in a lot.”

“You just know none of these people put their shopping carts in the parking lot at the grocery store,” someone else said.

“Those people deserve to fly Spirit,” another person added.

“Anyone who does this is the worst type of person. Doing this is like parking in a handicapped spot, that's how bad it is,” said another user.

Someone else added: 'Portlice.'

Another user wrote: 'I always knew this was possible, but I don't do it because it's rude..'

“Main Character Syndrome,” said another user.

In the past, passengers have debated changing seats.

Just a month ago, a frequent flyer sent out a PSA to fellow travelers about changing seats after experiencing a nightmare involving having to move five times when he reluctantly gave up his seat to another passenger.

The Unknown Man Took to Reddit to Share His Seat Swap Story That 'Permanently Changed' [his] I'm thinking of being nice and switching places with someone someday.”

He reignited the heated conversation about travel etiquette after a frequent flyer was applauded for refusing to change seats so a woman could sit by the window.

He shared his experiences in a thread dedicated to 'Delta Airlines– adding that the disastrous incident occurred eight years ago while he was on a flight from New York City to Utah.

Another frequent flyer previously revealed she refused to swap her window seat with an 'entitled' passenger who wanted to sit next to his wife.

The unnamed woman took to Reddit to share how she refused to move to a middle seat on an 11-hour flight from New York to Cairo, Egypt, so that the man sitting next to her could sit next to his wife.

The anonymous woman shared her story on the social media platform as a way to rant about the man under a thread captioned: 'TitledPeople,” prompting others online to condemn the man for asking someone else to switch to a lower-quality seat so he could be happy.

The denial comes months after a man sparked a furious debate when he refused to give up his first-class seat for his boss, despite using his own credit card points to do so.

In the past, DailyMail.com's Jaci Stephen even gave her opinion, confessing that she “absolutely refuses” to switch seats, no matter how angry the passenger who wants to switch may get.

Michigan has informed the Big Ten and the NCAA that officials from Ohio State, Rutgers and Purdue shared information about the Wolverines’ signals ahead of the 2022 Big Ten Championship Game, a university source confirmed. The Athletics.

The reveal comes next The Athletics and other media outlets obtained documents that matched Michigan’s signals to specific plays. The documents mention signals such as ‘elbow slap’ and ‘throat slash’ with plays such as outside zone and play-action passes.

Michigan first became aware of the documents after beating Purdue 43-22 in last year’s Big Ten Championship Game, the university source said, and has used them to allege that other schools conspired to steal the signals from the Wolverines to steal and share. Michigan is facing possible discipline from the Big Ten over its own sign-stealing and scouting scandal.

The person who sent the documents to Michigan worked for Purdue last season and told the Wolverines that the information came from Rutgers and Ohio State, the university source said. The person who sent the documents, who was granted anonymity to avoid possible consequences for the appeal, said The Athletics Monday that sharing signals among friends was common on other programs.

He said it took him 10 to 12 hours a week to decode opponents’ signs from TV dubs and other films. He said he wanted to share the information to support Jim Harbaugh’s associates with whom he had previously worked and had an affinity. information to former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions, the center of the NCAA investigation, about Michigan’s opponents. The Wolverines have been singled out by their Big Ten peers in league-wide conversations in recent weeks as first-year commissioner Tony Petitti weighs whether Michigan should be punished before the NCAA investigation is complete. The person who sent the documents to Michigan does not currently work in college football.

An employee at another Big Ten school who spends time decoding opponents’ signals said the existence of such documents is not incriminating, noting the difference between legal sign stealing and the elaborate personal scouting ring which Michigan is accused of operating.

“We did nothing wrong,” the Big Ten official said. “Zero. They’ve taken it to another level. And they can’t hide it. They try to distract from it, but they can’t hide it.”

The ongoing scandal will force Petitti to decide how deep she wants to delve into the shadowy world of sign stealing. The league formally notified Michigan on Saturday of possible disciplinary action based on alleged violations of the league’s sportsmanship policy. A decision on penalties, including a possible suspension for head coach Jim Harbaugh, could come as soon as Wednesday.

Michigan claims Big Ten schools violated the sportsmanship policy by colluding to share information about the Wolverines’ signals. The league’s policy gives the commissioner discretion to determine whether an institution has violated core principles of sportsmanship, including “integrity of the competition, civility to all and respect, especially to opponents and officials.”

It’s not clear that such an exchange of information would violate the Big Ten’s sportsmanship policy, but it raises questions about the ethical gray areas involved in sign stealing.

Ohio state officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Spokespeople for Rutgers and Purdue declined to comment.

Exchanging information about other teams’ signals is common, say three current and one former Big Ten staffers. Like Stalion, the staff members involved in signal decoding are often young and ambitious, eager to acquire information that can help them move up the ranks. For some, being a relative nobody who doesn’t get to coach during the game is the best way to add value. It’s typical for these staffers to communicate with friends of other staffers and help each other prepare for games, a former Big Ten staffer said.

Michigan informed the Big Ten and NCAA that staffers from Rutgers, Ohio State and Purdue shared the Wolverines’ 2022 signals. How information trading between sign stealers fits into the Michigan scandal:

— Austin Meek (@byAustinMeek) November 7, 2023

If a team has an interest in the outcome of a particular game, an employee can contact a colleague from another school to exchange information, the former Big Ten employee said. Because of that underground system of information sharing, the former employee said, it is possible that some schools calling for penalties against Michigan benefited from the information collected by Stalions.

Michigan has argued that the sharing of documents showing the Wolverines’ signals was a coordinated effort among other schools. The employee involved in decoding Michigan’s signals didn’t see the spreadsheets as evidence of anything nefarious.

“This isn’t like the Astros,” he said. “This was all obtained legitimately. We’ve been really good at it (stealing signals), taking things from TV copies. People didn’t go to sites (to get information). We did it legally, like we stole it from the coach at third base.”

The person who sent the documents to Michigan also believed that all of the information contained therein was obtained legally.

Big Ten schools have come forward with evidence that Stalions purchased tickets in his own name for games involving Michigan’s future opponents, and at least one says there is security footage of a person in those seats monitoring the team’s signals registers a smartphone. Central Michigan has said it is now working with the NCAA to investigate whether Stalions was on the CMU sideline in coaching gear for a game against Michigan State earlier this season.

The employee involved in decoding the Wolverines’ signals said he doesn’t believe the way Stals and Michigan allegedly gathered their information actually gave them a major advantage over the way other teams usually do it. Or that they actually needed this.

“Michigan didn’t have to do it to win,” he said. ‘That’s the funny thing. It’s still about blocking and tackling. That’s why they didn’t have to do it. They are really talented. They’re better than Penn State, and they’re better than Ohio State. They can all legitimately win it.”
