I can't believe the onion thing is still going on, I should have created a thread for it!:eek:

I'll add all those to the remedy list and if I'll ever publish it you all will get mentioned in the thanks paragraph I shall never shed a tear again. Well wait, they don't work for a broken heart, do they? Nothing like this ails me at the moment but I prefer to be prepared...

I think a picture of you chopping onions tear free is required now

Put a wooden spoon in your mouth when cutting. works a treat. You will look like a weirdo but great if your wearing mascara

Also try not to cut into the little roots of the onion as that is where the alicin (?) stingy chemical is released from.

Old wives tale/placebo effect

The enzyme that makes you tear up is concentrated in the root at the 'hairy' end of the unpeeled onion. When you peel the skin off, use the tip of the knife to poke out the little spear shaped roots at that end of the onion, and chop away.

No more enzymes, no more tears.

Yep or slice a quarter of an inch up from the bottom and it eliminates the pesky bit

Or, if it is causing that much trouble, just fcuk the onion in a blender/chopper of some sort..............see JML etc

I actually do that if there's too much to be chopped. Jaysus who'd say that a bulbous plant could cause such havoc!!:o

I f*cking love onions.

gramar · 02-04-2014 05:21PM

If chopping onions is such an ordeal for people wouldn't you think some fruit & veg producer would have come up wth packs of pre-chopped onions?

Pre packed onions don't hold the same flavour. When I'm in a fowler and don't want to cook, I might buy a pack of stir fry veg, ready to be flung in the wok. Its bland and tasteless. I like my veg to taste like it should, have a crunch and juice in it.

I'm going to chop some later on but I think the last thing this (or any other) thread needs is a picture of a girl chopping onions with a badass knife and tear free face

Sorry for this analogy

Brian Lehinhan is the priest that touched you, Michael Noonan is the priest telling you its alright and sure if you hadn't got into bed with the bankers.... sure you know yourself.

Just read a review of Evelyn O'Rourke's book [Dear Ross], ( this is her real life story of discovering that she had cancer while expecting her second baby, and from which thankfully she made a full recovery).

The 'reviewer' stated that she 'never really connected with the character' and 'it would have been a better read, had I not known the outcome.'

Jesus wept and was it any wonder!

junk mail deliverers who won't push in the stuff the whole way through the letter box but leave it nicely balanced in the opened letter box. why can't they push it all the way so that it lands on the floor and therefore the letter box can slam shut again? this morning i was met with a draught coming through my letter box that would blow you into next week. i have seen these guys take their time ensuring that the junk mail sits nicely in the open letter box. why??
anyway i have put up a no junk mail sign on my door tonight ... interesting to know if there guys will say any attention to it.

Not trivial... but by now most of you know i like to give out! Noisy people in general are a nuisance as i am a fairly quiet person in general, or at least around the house anyway.

My housemates girlfriend is a fucking nightmare! She's actually sound but her voice is so high pitched and she talks at the top of her voice even at this hour of the night when people are trying (unsuccessfully) to sleep! Her voice literally bounces off the walls (which must be made of paper!).

I have actually contemplated kicking his door in and dragging her out of the house before when i was trying to sleep before i had an exam a while back! Seriously like, have some fucking manners and show a bit of respect for others, you don't even live in this house ffs! I realise she is so happy to be spending time with her boyfriend or whatever but high pitched laughs after 11pm are a bit much! Please do the right thing and SHUT THE FUCK UP! Or at least tone it down a notch!

When i have anyone back i go out of my way to make sure they keep the noise down trying to be considerate but not a hope id get the same in return!

Actually when i think about it housemates in general are a pain in the hole! I've had some awful ones over the years! ...I best stop, getting worked up now. shit

Posers.

Last night in the supermarket car-park a poser was parking his white Alfa Romeo GT. Big black horn rimmed glasses and serious expression topped off by a hoodie with the hood perched carefully halfway up his head.

FullblownRose · 03-04-2014 08:15AM

Not trivial exactly but disabled access to public buildings. It's nearly non existent. And people who stare gormlessly at you when trying to get a wheelchair bound friend through double doors. Get up and do something?!
People who stare gormlessly in general actually.

I think our tolerance levels go right down at exam time. I totally lost the plot last year before mine, and contemplated stealing the neighbours kids scooters at night and hiding them until I'd finished, so p1ssed was I at them for constantly going up and down right outside our door. I started to really notice noises that I'd never noticed before. The OH scraping her fork off her plate in the next room - was like someone screeching inside my head! The rain drip drip dripping outside. The guy upstairs peeing, stopping and peeing again (thought it was just us women who did that!).
