Quorn mince - fine, it's Quorn and it's minced (they don't call it Quorn beef mince)
Quorn sausages - fine, it's Quorn in sausage shape (they don't call it Quorn pork sausages)
So why are Quorn pieces called Quorn chicken pieces when they're not chicken and should just be called Quorn pieces? (following the same format as the mince and the sausages).
The whole 'veggie food made to look & taste like meat' thing - if you want to eat something which tastes like meat, eat meat !Quorn sausages - fine, it's Quorn in sausage shape (they don't call it Quorn pork sausages)

Some Quorn stuff, decently cooked, tastes nice. And that's fine.
Shuddup you nuggets!
Another thing to annoy beyond reason:
"Do I look like a ducking tourist!!??!!"
London cabbie takes me from Sloane Square to Baker Street. Cab advertises (and I checked) contactless payment.
Paid - go to walk away.
"Oy - that didn't work and YOU'RE holding up this bus"
Bus behind getting irate of where he stopped to let me out on Marylebone Road....
..so I go back and pay "again".
Just sitting on train and checked - I PAID TWICE. Grrr - easy enough to dispute, but kicking myself that he duped me so easily - and do I look like a f
king tourist!!!

2. Work are running a competition where employees kids are invited to submit drawings on the theme of "what Christmas means to me". The winner will be used on an email mailer to customers. It seems many of my colleagues have Children who thing Christmas is about wasting time scribbling on paper or who, at the age of 1, are capable of some incredibly impressive fine motor skills when decorating a hand print to look like something seasonal. Once colleague has submitted a photograph of a 3D angel on a worktop.
And the winner of the Samsung tablet is a 2 year old who has managed to splodge two brown hand prints onto some paper only for their carer to then magically transform it into a scene containing a reindeer and several snow men.I'm tempted to demand an interview with the 2 year old to find out what part of "what Christmas means to me" inspired them to create this masterpiece.

No receipt first time?
No - he just claimed it failed. Shrugged shoulders. "How you going to pay me, now?" I wouldn't have wanted a receipt anyway, but just didn't think about it properly until I'd walked away and he'd driven off.thetapeworm said:
