    I just got up and went to make myself a nice cup of tea. When I went to get the sugar, I realised I had ran out. How annoying is that?

    People who put sugar in their tea should be exiled to England.

    I went to make risotto last night. I had everything ready and then I opened the sealed box of rice and it was crawling with maggots.

    I'd be more annoyed if there was no tea.

    I just dropped my coffee on my lap.

    Sorry for your troubles OP. Surely there some sort of emergency number you can call.

    So sad how some people just slip between the cracks.

    Bloody austerity.

    I was looking forward to watching the film Outland late at night recently on UTV. I watched the opening credits in nervous anticipation, waiting for the first line of dialogue to see if the little man signing for the deaf would pop up and ruin everything.

    After a few minutes, he did.

    It was the worst thing ever.

    I always seem to have some brown sugar or icing at the back of some cupboard. Tastes like ass but better than no sugar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Sugar in tea disgusting.

    What is wrong with you OP!?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Any fellow smokers will testify to this one.


    In the middle of nowhere, badly needing that nicotine hit, pack of unopened 20 cigs, taking of the wrapper, getting the foil away from them ciggies..
    Ciggie in mouth waiting on the first draw.....

    Oh shiite! No lighter, no matches, no way of lighting the feckin thing, and I'm about ten miles from the nearest shop!

    Something so insignificant and so cheap as a box of matches is gettin g in the way of a (filthy) habit!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Use salt.

    Mmmm, lovely salty tea!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭Fago!


    No what's more annoying is going to make a bowl of cereal and the realise there's no cereal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭AngryBollix


    There is a simple solution.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,108 ✭✭✭RachaelVO

    no you are all wrong, tea tastes rank, we have milk and sugar to help with this, so you get a nice hot drink on a morning like today, but instead of tasting like a copper spoon, its tastes nice :)

    Ah sure it all looks the same once it's cooked anyway :D Just as a matter of interest, what does maggots boiled in stock taste like?

    In that case, why don't you just admit you like sugar milk and just leave the tea out? :p

    You know something else really annoying.
    You open a thread on Boards which might be about something interesting to find out someone just ran out of sugar.

    Oh you're one of those people who pour the water in and immediately take the tea bag out after 10 seconds. You make me sick, you're worse than hitler you know that? Begon!

    3minutes minimum but I often just leave it in for 5 for extra luck.

    I use sand instead of sugar in my tea.
    Can be re-used many times, and has far fewer calories.

    No its annoying when you run out of milk and have to use the UHT carton you've stolen from a hotel. Gag gag.

    If youve nothing constructive or humourous to add, why dont you just refrain from posting. We dont need any of your sad faced, miserable, recession enveloped negativity.

    I was making some seared scallops in a lemon and white wine sauce there recently and you can imagine my horror when I realised that I was completely out of arugula spinach !!! :eek:

    You can run out of sugar? The pound of sugar I bought in 2007 is still nearly full.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Once, as a younger man, in the canteen at work, I was sitting with a few other lads and reached out for the salt cellar to sprinkle some on my chips.

    One guy I didn't know at all looked at me strangely and like he might say something, but he didn't.

    Naturally, I actually grabbed the sugar, and I only noticed when I ate my first chip.
    Which was very sugary as I'd completely covered them with sugar, owing the increased speed with which the sugar poured, compared to salt coming from the typical salt cellar.
    I looked at the guy who'd given me the look, and our eyes might very awkwardly for a second before he looked away.

    As no-one else had noticed and I didn't want to lose face by admitting my mistake, I continued to eat my sugary chips, which, pun intended, were not my cup of tea.

    To date, that's my only sugar-based anecdote.

    I went to make a sandwich and wanted mustard.
    To my dismay, I only had wholegrain and Dijon. No English :(
