Most cringeworthy thread you have ever read?

[anonymous-user]

Or the bloke who's disappointed with Audi servicing because they have the temerity to allow a bird to crap on his car

Have we done this prime prong using salad ingredients as a basis to boast about his company director lifestyle of exotic cars, Mediterranean homes and personal chef yet?

Hi folks, no gourmet chef, but like quality food. I work and live in a job where we have a full time chef in this case with an English pub food background who puts red onion in every salad!! It drives me mad! I find it too strong and over powering for my taste buds. Is this an English taste gene? Our location and my home is in the Southern European Med countries and I have a liking for Southern European (Spanish, Italina & Greek healthy food) but with red onion or even spring onion in abundance in each dish? It make me go mad! I find it over powering on my taste buds.

Please vote yeh or ney. On onion in salad and spring onion in general, especially as a garnish to some dishes. I'm a fellow Englishman, and apart from a traditional English pub ploughmans with pickle onion, large lump of cheddar cheese and abundance of onion in a side salad, is this acceptable from a professional chef who also caters for some of the wealthiest people on the planet?

Your thoughts are much appreciated as I am no expert

Ps, eating red onion makes me want to drive my Cateham R500 and Ultima GTR even harder when on leave well it is a car forum after all

OMFG

I suspect you don't but I will be in the UK with JLR next month and will be visiting Solihull and Gaydon so I'll mention your name and see what reaction I get.

I love it when a "do you know who I am?" turns out like that.

What a dick.

What a complete insecure saddo Unrepentant comes across as, desperately trying to shoehorn the fact he is off to a sales conference into every thread.

Wow,some prime candidates for the thread winner posted here this morning.

I read that post as if the author was in the employ of someone very wealthy rather than being the wealthy one himself tbh.

I am sure the marketing people at JLR know every employee personally and also the names of all their suppliers, no doubt they will bend over backwards for some low ranking salesman from Hicksville USA.

My guess being that he works a yacht or manages an estate.

Even so, too much cringe!

First world problem with salad?

Talk to chef?

No write an essay on the Internet to complete strangers while squeezing in your vehicles in the most bizarre random way possible.

You heard it here on PH first folks:- Fancy a spirited drive? Eat red onion!

His location in profile says "Maritime industry" in France.

In his OP he put "home in southern European countries" trying to sound more exotic.

I think his answer was fair enough. Do you think you are trying a bit too hard in various threads to generate cringe?

Various threads, what are you actually on about limp?

Well flemke did explain that the crash wasn't his fault and clearly it also wasn't down to a

"I ran out of talent and binned it" type F1 crash.

Flemke, all this talk of watches - are you a 'watch' person and what watch/watches do you have and wear daily?

My watch is an icon on my mobile phone.

Superb!

Probably crashed because he tried to get his phone out his pocket to see what time it was. Would have been less hassle to buy a Rolex.

It was probably the phone manufacturers fault or something.

Yes, Urban Sports's attempt to score some clever dick points is as cringeworthy as some of the arslikhan on the "Is this your F1" thread.

Especially as the "answer in a nutshell" wasn't even "no".

Well it can't be a yes though can it as seen as he says he didn't stack it
