What is hacking you off today?

[Uncle Leo]

Because we were students and only one of us didn't drink/smoke/do drugs/any combination of the above. It took us a year to realise there was an Aldi five hundred yards further up the road!

You guys are bonkers! What a bunch of nutters!

o2. I reported a problem with my o2 email service last Wednesday. The guy told me that he had passed the problem on to their Tech Support promising a 48 hour fix. Just finished a live chat on line with o2 and it turns out that since Sky took over o2 Home Broadband, email issues like mine are not o2's problem, they are sky's. Outcome - problem not fixed and I have to chase Sky now. Total arseholes!!!

Laptop isn't a month old. Had to restore it to hopefully unmute my speakers.

Watched a few grassroots youth games this morning. Same old. Big kids lumping it forward for smaller, quicker kids to run onto and adults running the line with absolute contempt for the game. There was some fascinating interpretation of the offside rule though. Was anybody else aware that if a forward passes it to another and they're both onside, and the pass takes a deflection off the defender, that deflection counts as a new phase of play, therefore ruling the now advanced forward offside? I sure as **** wasn't aware of that and I don't think the FA is either, but a host of watching parents, coaches and I were dutifully informed by Officious of Kent this morning.

Bugger. Who's in charge now? And does he name fit in my rhyme?

And I restored the laptop. It's still ****ed.

Who the **** takes a glass up to the pass in a Toby???? I mean, who does that? Whoever the moron was that did this in the Basildon Toby today managed to smash it over the food. Meant they had to clear the whole pass, meat, spuds, veg...the lot.

Also meant they were then playing catch up on spuds and yorkies for the next hour. What an absolute arse!

You wouldn't expect it to cut up rough in a Toby carvery.

while we are on Toby Carvery rants, we went to one the Sunday before last. When I went up to get mine and was offered the option of paying £1.50 for a bigger plate and more meat I took it.

However, the two guys behind me, when offered this, just went "No, we'll pay the same for the small plate, just put more meat on it. Thanks". And the server agreed!

To be fair to him, these two chaps were...hmmm...how can I put this...from an area near the edge of town....oh **** it they were proper pikeys. I can see why he didn't think it was worth the bother to argue the toss.

I never understood why people go to a Toby Carvery, I went once and realised it is *****! A roast dinner is a million times better when it's home cooked by a family member. No love or effort goes into it at Carvery's and it's just damn laziness! If you're going out for a meal go out for a proper meal not one that you can get much better when you cook it yourself.

Depends on the family member :whistling:

Well I will say this...the roast dinner we had at my Mum's yesterday was several times better than the carvery! But a roast dinner cooked by me wouldn't be up to much...

As for the weekend before, it was a snap decision. It was around noon, we fancied lunch, needed to have something on our plates before 1pm so the kids didn't kick off, so a carvery did the trick.

Have to agree,however how they make that stuffing that goes through you like a ferrari is clever!

What really ****es me off if when you go out for a roast and they pad it out with mash or new potatoes and **** you on the roast potatoes.

There is no excuse.

Also there is one pub in Cambridge that does a great roast but alternate between cauliflower cheese one week and ratatouille the next which is vile inedible filth.

Its like all food outlets why go to mcdoughs when you can cook beans on toast at home but people are lazy.
We used to do the carvery down the sea front in 15 mins in and out.

Went to make a cuppa, and some righteous sandal wearing bint was berating one of her colleagues for drinking semi-skimmed rather than some hippy soya almond milk *****. Keep your beliefs to yourself love eh?

I cook a mean roast, but I do the same bloody recipe every week for yorkies - sometimes they're superb, othertimes they stick to the tray or don't rise. Bloody annoying. :angry:

Cup of flour, cup of milk, two eggs and just don't open the oven. Spot on everytime.

I just use the one egg, but I'm only making for 2 1/2 folks. Maybe I'll try two on Sunday and see how it goes.
