    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Is the site glacial today or is the problem on my end?

    Anyway I was at the shop and I planned to buy ingredients to cook a meal. I had to scrap the plan after I saw the outrageous price of some of the ingredients that used to be quite reasonable. 🙈

    AI has ruined predictive texting, absolute garbage words being sent in messages where they’d normally have been either corrected or flagged for spelling.

    My friend just moaning about people getting to live in hotel rooms for free and how she would love to live in one ( with her husband and 2 kids🙄) same one is looking to buy a house with a up to 850,000 euro budget. Some people have no self awareness.

    Why is Gerry Ryan headline news again?

    He'd only been dead for what? 10yrs? More?

    I don't think it's Gerry so much as his then girlfriend looking for attention!

    Reminds me when the BBC Sport live text instead of saying "player x took a shot in the box" said "player x took a sh1t in the box".

    They must have been using the boards comment box.

    AI manipulated food images on cooking sites. Not trying any recipe these chefs are too embarrassed to present realistically.

    Picking the unwanted peas out of me Singapore noodles, only to realise afterwards that while doing so, I've spattered the sauce on me shirt and trousers.

    Amazon product images being manipulated now with AI. False advertising imho. 🤨

    I went to put a load of washing in the washing machine this evening only to discover a damp load already in there.

    I then remembered the load I did approximately 4 days ago and forgot to come back and hang out and because it was black clothes, I didn't notice them passing the drum.

    I've had to rewash them tonight 😏

    A belated TA from yesterday evening, but when I slumped down onto the couch after finishing a loads of little tasks, my head went back and whacked off the wall behind me. One of the disadvantages of being tall. The noise wasn't pleasant, but I hoped it came from the wall and not my skull. I don't seem to have a concussion, though…😵

    supermarkets “hiding” the freshest products behind the ones nearer expiry. This morning there were at least six large sliced pans dated 28April (!) out front. Had to dig into the back to get todays bread (4th May)

    It's called stock rotation to avoid food waste. Let the oldest sell first.

    It's also the reason I never buy something at the front of the shelf!

    They're not "hiding" anything, stock rotation has been a fundamental of food retail since its inception 😆

    My TA is the recipe card I saw in our staff restaurant earlier for "Turkey con Carne". That makes absolutely no grammatical sense whatsoever. Mmm, yes, I think I'll make some turkey with meat, it sounds delicious!

    It should have been "Chilli con Turkey" at the very least, although the mish-mash of languages would have annoyed me there too, tbh.

    In fairness, Chilli con Carne doesn't specify what type of "carne" it is. I mean, it could even be kangaroo or emu.

    Exactly, which makes the whole thing even more stupid. Just call it Turkey Chilli and be done with it.

    trying to make a GP appointment since 2.05 pm……I’ve made 15 calls between the 2 extensions published on their site and nobody is picking up… nothing on the social media regarding phone tech issues or any related reason…Again when you take on too many patients, the quality of the care / service just plummets.. 👎🏼. Whatever about waiting a week to 10 days to see a GP… probably soon I’ll be calling for a week before I get through to anyone nthe phone the way things are heading…

    Taking a boot off and then a sock in order to get something that was sticking into your ankle out of your sock only to find that when you put them back on that you now have something sticking into your foot.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I always assumed carne was beef . Now if I buy a made one I’ll be checking nervously .

    Nope, meat or flesh. I.e. incarnate = made flesh.

    I've had one tiny itchy spot on my back for the past month or so (might've been longer, but I easily lose track of time). I can't figure out if it's an insect bite, a spot that's taking ages to come up, full blown cancer or just the corner of the labels of my vests and tops that hits that spot and irritates the skin.

    I'm a mad label cutter. Can't stand the label against my skin. Often worse than the label is the thread they sew it in with.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    99.9% of the time it is beef, in Anglophone countries anyway. And the concept of chilli con carne as we know it doesn't really exist in Mexico, so you're probably safe enough.

    That my usual routine of checking the Liverpool thread for news is pointless until next season . 😁

    The real TA is my nose is blocked and giving me a headache . I have to dig out my syringe and baking soda to fix it .

    A discussion with a young man prob late 20's or so.

    Wasn't getting his way and started to strongly infer that the issue at hand was my problem and the only reason I didn't know that was Tada! hormones(mine I assume)

    I feel sorry for his female partner when he proudly knows so little about hormones and women's life stages.
