I got a terrible amount of abuse in the US of A for mentioning that turnip is possibly my favourite veg.
'Around these here parts, that's what we feed our donkeys' was the response I got.
They didn't comprehend my witty response of having the best fed donkeys in the world.

Don't get me wrong - I love turnip, but it's not Gouda, dammit!! And the Americans are probably too innocent to realise a swede is a rutabega is a turnip. Dolph Lundgren certainly is, anyway...

The fact that whenever I close the boards app and open it again later, I end up on the first page of a thread instead of where I was.

Also, it's only Wednesday, is this week ever going to end?

Had a small healthy dinner tonight and now I want chocolate!!

I am TA (Trivially Amused) that your dog is walking around with a permanent erection. Hope you are not expecting guests.

What's the point in having a €500+ plus fancy phone when you can't ring anyone on it? Buy some credit ffs.

TA that the girl I prefer to go to for my waxing went and got herself pregnant and is now gone on maternity leave, leaving me high and dry.

People calling the ground the floor. It's frequent on Road Wars and othe British cop shows. Just heard the lad on Sky Sports News say that the player "hit the floor" and called for a penalty.
It's the ground ffs, the floor is in the house.

Piss takers. I was in the Post Office yesterday morning, now I thought I'd seen pretty much everything, but this really took the biscuit. A woman who clearly knew one of the guys behind the counter, brought in a touch phone belonging to her child to have the guy fix it. So whilst the queue was out the door this guy left his counter to go fcuk about with her phone. The bitch was taking up a counter space waiting for the phone, not that it mattered since he was off with the phone. Only in Ireland could this Sh*te happen.:mad:

Turnips. Has anyone noticed that butternut squash is basically a fancy mans turnip. Its a little bit blander tasting but basically the same thing. I like to think of it as turnips fancy Mexican cousin.

Not quite, a butternut squash is a first-cousin of a pumpkin that looks like genitals that have been medically afflicted.

This weather. I am the coldest creature on this entire planet. I usually leave my electric blanket on when I go to sleep, but this gives me really lucid dreams. Tossing and turning dreaming about awful things. Woke up at about 4 to switch it off, and about 20 minutes later I'm awake properly because it's so chilly even under a duvet and two fleecy throws

I come into the office now, and our night shift have left about 3 hours ago. One of them has left her phone at my desk, and it won't stop going off with alarms (as I speak, it is now making an inane noise) that won't go off unless you shake the phone as part of some idiot app. Even though I've successfully completed that task, the alarms keep going off. I've now had to turn off the phone as that's the only way to get it to shut off, and now I feel bad in case she rings it to see where she left it.

After that debacle, I log onto the computer. Was she able to log off properly? Of course not, that would be too ridiculous. I'm greeted by tabs upon tabs of Littlewoods and Boohoo, and a screen full of about 200 unread emails (why can't people just open and delete their emails?).

Snow ! I hate it. I got caught in a couple of heavy showers on the way to work this morning. Snow can FRO !

My old landlord just put up a status on facebook that he has a room for rent again. Perfect, I think. I mail him. It's the horrible room at the top of the house that has no window and the guy who used to sleep in there used to pee in glasses so I'd be pure put off. Also it's too far from the bathroom. Wah. Evict the imposter out of my old room and Id be back like a shot!

People who declare that they don't like a certain food when they haven't even tried it.

Fussy eaters.

Had a cup of tea on the go at the same time as a cup of water. Was eating a nice biscuit and enjoying washing it down with the tea when I accidentally drank the water instead. Such a weird feeling when you are expecting one taste/temperature and get another.

My mother ate what she thought was a grape but was in fact an olive. She actually jumped out of her seat in the restaurant and loudly screamed 'oh fcuk' she was that shocked!

It's a weird one

Treat yourself to one scone only this week, I tell myself on Monday. Its Thursday now, I've had one every morning so far and am already planning which bakery I'll be visiting this morning.

I've done the same with fry ups.
'It's ok for Monday...as long as it's just the one a week treat. You deserve it champ!' I said.
Tuesday comes: 'You played hard last night and got a great win! Go on and wolf down some sausages! you deserve it!'
Yesterday: 'I'm starving, and I've had a good healthy breakfast. Maybe have a fry up just to add more fuel in. It's going to be a busy day!
This morning: 'gosh, it's a long week champ! Better eat well... and look! snow!! need to eat fatty foods to keep warm'.
Tomorrow - well, It's Fryday afterall

Yes yes, on paper its apple and oranges. One a fruit technically, the others a veg BUT, boil up some turnip cubes and boil up some squash cubes. Tell me they don't look similar, have a similar texture and taste relatively similar (turnip having a stronger taste)?

I was queuing in the post office and when I got to the top of the queue, the girl at the only available counter started fiddling with a couple of parcels. I didn't want to be rude and go right up to the counter before she was ready. The computerised voice hadn't said "counter number 5, please" yet. I glanced behind me and I think I actually SAW a wave of hate, passing from person to person, right to the back of the queue. I could practically hear them all saying "move b1tch!"

MsBubbles

Lexie where the hell are you going to keep a pig ?

veryangryman

Oliver Callan

His impressions are terrible, he never looks (or sounds) anything like the guy he's impersonating (he probably knows this as he even announces who he is when doing the acts). Something about him just makes me mad and want to punch him.

How on earth is he still getting work?!

MsBubbles

I hear veryangryman, Callan is rubbish

When you're in Subway and the 'Sandwich Artist' starts to rush you or puts too little of a certain item on your sandwich without consulting you.

It makes me want to be a difficult customer.

All Sandwiches are NOT the same!!!
