the thing I don't get with Vegans, is what do they think the end game is?

I followed a bus with the "Dairy takes a baby from its mother advert on the side. Have they considered that without dairy the calf would not have been born n the first place?

do they expect that come the glorious day that we no longer use animal products, there will be masses of cattle, chickens and pigs roaming across open fields?

Will there bollocks.

I think the theory is that being bred to die is worse than not being born at all. Life for the sake of it is not worth it for dairy cows. I'm not a vegan.

Imagine if they were still the same size as in the 80s.....how fat would our kids be then:eek:

I saw a woman, partner and their fat offspring in tesco the other day absolutely lose their sh#t over microwaveable rashers. The mother could barely contain herself. Poor kid has no hope!

That and the fact they are plonked in front of video games all day. You cant let them out cause someone on facebook posted that they saw a man driving through whatever feckin estate looking suspicious. And he said he was a paediatrician and must therefore be a paedophile cause any word with paedo means that. Mob mentality is something I dont get!

True maybe but it’s a pain in the hole and I bet you your missus will regret it. My sister-in-law didn’t take our surname and the one piece of advice she gave my fianc(now wife) was take it (she did). When kids arrive it’s not worth the hassle and confusion...school, forms, travel...before kids you can’t imagine all the scenarios where different surnames will cause grief but you’ll find out pretty quickly. I’d go as far as tell her take the surname before kids come along.

Changing name was and never will be on the table. She is proud of her surname and will not change it and I’m fully behind her. I know many people, including a family member who kept their maiden name and I’ve never heard any complaints from them or major problems etc.

But, but... you can microwave normal rashers too. My mother does it if she's strapped for time. They come out pink/uncooked looking, but still edible.

I never said it was nice, but it's doable. Not sure what microwave specific rashers would be like...

11-01-2020 08:50PM

Those microwave rashers are grand because you can eat them straight out of the packet.

They need to be super thin like North American cuts.
Irish rashers would not be thin enough IMO

Blokes in their 40's or older like Steven Gerrard or the Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta who have thick lustrous hair that looks like it grows out of their skull.

You'd think that, but they definitely do cook!

Mike Arteta's hair looks dyed to me even though it's probably not.

Yeah they do no problem, it’s not often I do it but I have cooked rashers in the microwave on occasion for a quick BLT.

Buying still water in shops

I sometimes see people leaving Aldi with gallons of still water. Sure that stuff comes out of your tap. Why are you hauling it home from a shop in a plastic container.

Sparkling Water ok thats fine you cant make that at home but still water? Why

Few times a year, I buy still water just to replace the bottle which gets refilled.

Has to be dyed.

No one with jet black hair would still have it at like that naturally at his age.

Not one grey hair in sight.

That's the perfect way to do it. Most of the people buying bottled water every day are clowns

I’d put rashers across the back of an upside down bowl and they cook in it grand.

I don't understand the universal hatred of Dermot Bannon.
I've met him a number of times - he's a really nice guy. Never minded him on the telly before I met him, either.

Skinless sausages.
Wtf are they supposed to be?
They still seem to have a skin - just a horrible shrivelled skin.

Some places have horrid tap water that wouldn't be fit for consumption, either due to limescale or something else. Then you have areas where the water is perfectly ok to drink, but tastes like a hobos sock.

Probably would be cheaper in the long run to get a softener installed for the limescale areas, but not much you can do in areas with just crap tasting water.

I always assumed that it wasn’t a natural skin like a normal sausage but I’m not sure. Never liked them anyway.

"Sausage casing, also known as sausage skin or simply casing, is the material that encloses the filling of a sausage. Natural casings are made from animal intestines or skin; artificial casings, introduced in the early 20th century, are made of collagen and cellulose."

I buy it for making beer, plus my tap water would destroy a kettle in a matter of months.
