There was a letter for me in the postbox, with no address, just my name so I knew it had been hand delivered. I was really happy about it and delayed opening it, knowing it was from OH. We'd had a conversation a while ago about the importance of us him making small gestures and generally being thoughtful. I couldn't wait to see what it was - maybe a plan for us to go somewhere when the pandemic eases, or some nice pictures of us, or even just a letter.

Pretended there was no post when I came back inside. I didn't want an audience when I opened his letter. He didn't seem to mind, clearly playing it cool.

Eventually couldn't hold off any more and opened it up.

It was a letter from my neighbour (who appears to have lost the plot) welcoming me to the neighbourhood - that I moved to over 2 decades ago.

Multiple TAs now - that I am so naïve and just assumed the letter was from him, that I am ungrateful in the face of receiving at least a lovely letter from someone during these difficult times, but mostly that I woke up in fine form and am now annoyed with OH for not being the sender - he literally had to do nothing to annoy me (and I can't even tell him why I am annoyed or explain what he hasn't done)

I'm so sorry, but this made me piss myself laughing.

Is it? I haven't a clue. My first thought was no, it's not a guy. Then I remembered that he has a daughter with the same name but I have no clue what she looks like so maybe it is. Whoever it is, she's unbearably annoying.

Bought some salted peanuts to roast, so I rinsed the hell out of them and left them in the colander to drip dry. I told him that I was off to have breakfast and to leave the nuts to drain till I was finished breakfast.

He put them in the bin in the meantime. TATATA

In a hurried comment yesterday I selected "though" on the predictive text instead of "tough".

I am desperately looking for a job .... I'll do it but you won't even fecking talk to me!!!

I may have a longer rant on this later but what kills me is when they don't even fill the position. You get a PFO and a week later you see the same job being advertised. I'm not better than having nobody do the job?

(and you don't have a can opener :eek:)

Thing is, those tins aren't designed to be opened with a can opener so even if you had one, chances are, it wouldn't open it.

A stout screwdriver and a pair of heavy duty gloves is the solution here. (I discovered the need for gloves the hard way! Staff kitchen decorated with tomatoes and blood)

Or, in most cases, turn the tin upside down and use the can opener on the bottom.

Often that doesn't work, though.
The tins aren't the right design - depending on the can opener.

Regina Doherty's face. I'm sorry, I don't know why. I'm sure she is lovely (I know nothing about her) but just the sight of her face irks me. I make no excuses for how trivial and unjustified this annoyance is.

I really like her voice when on the radio.

Q-ing in a Garage to pay for me diesel yesterday, a bin man and a postman in front of me, bin guy has food to pay for, cashier says whatever price, coffee is free for frontline/key staff she says, (nice gesture I thought) postman next, charged full whack for his coffee and sandwich, he was in his uniform, she even knew his name, (bit miserable I thought) , aren't they frontline/key staff, delivering all the goodies people are ordering online?
What do you think?

Low fat milk

Literally ruins tea, coffee and cereal.
Despise the way it has taken over homes, service industry etc

It’s literally taking the taste out of milk and leaving you with a class of water and people are militant about buying it!

I wouldn’t mind but it’s usually fools trying to lose weight. The same clowns who wash down the takeaways with a can of Diet Coke.

I'll admit, I think the taste of full fat milk ruins tea (I like it in coffee though!). However I hear you on the weight loss thing. My mother will often come home peddling low fat cakes and bars she has bought (overpriced of course) at slimming world and proceed to eat half the box - "they're low fat". OK that doesn't mean you need to eat half the box, could you not just eat one normal cake and at least be done with it. Low fat food in general TA's me. It's so full of sh*te, aspartame etc. Just have a normal portion of normal food!

I lost all respect for SW when they listed avocados as a "bad" food because of the fat content - literally no regard to the fact that it is a good fat, and probably one of the superfoods. They'd rather peddle their carcinogenic cardboard cakes to vulnerable people :rolleyes:

On that note, non-diet cola. Out of all the brands, the only standard cola I've found that doesn't also contain sweeteners is Pepsi. Everything else contains both sugar AND sweeteners. Yes, I'm sure, I've checked loads and loads of brands, including supermarket ones! I seldom drink minerals and if I drink cola only when I urgently need something to keep me awake, but when I do I'd rather avoid additional crap.

Should we blame the sugar tax?

She looks like my ex. That'll do for me

TA: Being called a lockdown merchant by someone who never met me, and somehow they already know that I will refuse to go back to work and wish for this thing to go on forever. They already have me figured out better than my own mother. I'm gonna go back on the dole and claim 210 and lie to Intreo about where I live. I'm gonna turn down every job offer and I'm gonna be a workshy arsehole with nothing to show for it.

They know more about me than I do. That's impressive.
