All that weightlifting and you still let people kick sand in your face?

You should send Charles 10 cents.

Dear Charles,
Thanks for the book. Now please send the muscles.

No chocolate in the house

Worse for me. I have chocolate, but I'm on a 72 hour fast that doesn't end until tomorrow lunchtime.

I'm not particularly hungry, but I'm annoyed that I can't sit down and watch the next episode of The Orville over a nice meal.

E-mail from ebay with this...



...which then lists an item which is on my watch list and has several days to go

Mill Road. What do you expect? To be honest, given the state of the locals around there, its not unusual for there to be a jobless person laying in the road.

People who eat using just a fork, using the fork to cut the meal.

Hello.

And hello from me too, although I admit that I give in with steak type dishes, but even then I’ll sometimes cut the meat into bite size pieces, put the knife down, and just use the fork with my right hand.
Once it’s all cut to size, a knife is superfluous, you’re just holding it like an ornament.
If you’re eating something like a meat pie, mashed potatoes and peas/greens/carrots/swede/parsnips for example, it’s easy to use a fork only.

Is this not the usual method in U.S.A.?

Why the fast ?

Good job it’s available online, can’t imagine the young lady at John Lewis would take kindly If I asked her to “show me your knorks”...

Deserves more recognition.


While we're here:
I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife.

You may want to have another go at that, and not just for the punctuation.

Read it again in context - it's a piss-take.

As long as it's the bottled version of the beer you're OK as it's still vegan. If it's draught then it's not vegan because of the finings in the cask. Had this conversation the other day in my local. Makes my landlord chuckle when people order a vegan meals and a pint.

What do they line the casks with?
Not pigs intestine surely!

Finings have contained milk,eggs, blood and geltain amongst other things, all things a Vegan will have nothing to do with.

I read that there were some health benefits to doing it occasionally and I was curious to see what it would be like. I've never gone even a day without eating before.

Last ate Friday at 11:30am and I'll eat again Monday at about 12:30pm. I've had some cups of tea with milk and on Saturday and Sunday I had a mug of Bovril and an electrolyte drink.

I don't think I'll do it again, but I'm too close to the end to give up. I don't feel very hungry, just dissatisfied and a bit grumpy. "Hangry" I believe it's known as.

The mini supermarkets at the stations at both ends of my train journey tonight sell 1 litre cartons of organic milk, but only sell normal milk in half litre cartons

BT's website

Trying to renew my broadband contract, and it reckons I don't have a BT line

[Tresco]

People who talk whilst their mouth is full of food, see this constantly and will increasingly but discreetly call it out - "Sorry, I didn't quite catch what you were saying"..
pointless really as it only makes them talk at a louder volume still with mouth partially full.

Business lunches are classic, one asks a clearly educated client a question, said client mulls over his/her response whilst twirling pasta and then forking it in to what seems the mouths maximum capacity and then, only then, replying.

I'm unfortunately convinced this will become entirely normal behaviour just like walking along a street eating food out of a wrapper barking into a mobile phone.

It is. Savages.

How can you construct an agreeable combination of ingredients on your fork without using a knife to push them on?
