That's some sound advice Jim, but any bigger and I wouldn't need a coat, I'd be like those whales that insulate themselves

Lexie I'm coeliac which means no wheat,rye,barley,spelt,malt or maltodextrin.
So imagine how peed off I get with the 'I'm allergic to gluten brigade' .

Oh it's a horrible illness to have, my mom was coeliac, and obviously it's a real illness but God I remember when there was none of this gluten free bread and gluten free stuff around. Now there's so much gluten free stuff (which is good) and idiots who claim theyre intolerant to gluten. My old manager was like this, she'd be telling everyone about her intolerance. Then she got tested for being coeliac, as did her son as "he was very like her, and he probably is too". Both of them came back clear from it but it didn't stop her. It's pains in the faces like that that make people take allergies less serious. "I'm allergic to nuts". Are ya? So you'll die if you eat them? "No I just don't like them". Simpletons

Tbh I'm glad all the gf stuff is around and I'd imagine the coeliacs are too, no more jacked up prices in health food shops. I'm also glad you can get lf milk now, and all other sorts- soya was the only alternative when I was growing up and it's rank. I also understand that testing can be inconclusive as a friend has gone that route and got varied opinions from the medical pros and is still definitely some kind of intolerant if not coeliac.

I thought you meant your girlfriend for a minute and I was wondering...

Part of me thinks that the whole intolerant-to-gluten fad that's taking the west by storm might just be the nocebo effect in action. I have no evidence for this, however.

Obviously coeliac disease is real thing though.

On Christmas Day I will get up and Potter about a bit, play some FIFA then head to the family meal, and as soon as that's over I'm away back home to my own empty house. The OH is complaining that this is a dreadful way to spend the day but the only improvement I could see to that would be to have someone deliver the dinner to me at home and let me chill out.

That sounds very like my plan (and what I've done the last few years).

The title of this thread still irritates me so much.

Soy milk is the sweat secreted from the devils own arse crack.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 03-12-2014 11:51AM

Love soy milk, unsweetened tjough but it's not as good as almond milk. Cows milk is disgusting. Seems so unnatural

People using the word 'obfuscation.'

LynnGrace · 03-12-2014 12:06PM

Just found a 'sorry we missed you' notification in the hall.
FFS, why didn't they ring the bell. Trivially annoyed!

Zanablue · 03-12-2014 12:09PM

Lynngrace, I have to say that pisses me of aswell and it happens a lot, and my doorbell works perfectly too.

LynnGrace · 03-12-2014 12:11PM

I heard the letterbox, and went to pick up the note. They definitely didn't even try the bell. Feck, now I've to go and collect it.

Being made an absolute show of. There's a guy over in the cafe across the road who seems a bit unhinged but is awful nice. I'm unsure if he is flirting with me or if he's just like that with everyone, but on Friday evening he brought over free cake and this morning he brought over free hot chocolate.

One of the girls made both me and him really uncomfortable, and she offered him a free massage, said I'd love to do it for him. Obviously I was about 50 different shades of red so now I'm worried he thinks I am into him or something.

I am their manager and they should be frightened of me, but nope! No more free cake for Lexie!

I think I would take her aside and have a quiet chat, that was out of order!

Someone in my office keeps turning off the radiator cos they're too warm...I'm always first in, and it's freezing in here now cos it's been off all night/ morning

At most, there are two of us in the office here. At this time of year, my colleague has the heater pointed at her, while I have the fan pointed at me.

I'm tired and I can't warm up. I've had a mug of coffee and the central heating is on but I'm still freezing.:(

Insurance companies stop ringing me about your ridiculous quotes, if they were any good I would have taken them.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 03-12-2014 01:33PM

I am usually a horrid fussy bitch when it comes to lunches and stuff but for ages I was saying I really want ceviche and polenta for lunch, and of course I look up the menu of the place I got it before, and THEY DONT EVEN DO CEVICHE anymore

I brought nice clothes and shoes and all to change into. I was real looking forward to it and all.

Rubberlegs · 03-12-2014 01:46PM

Trivially annoying that I can't get all my shopping in one supermarket. It takes the guts of a morning, to go between 3 shops, I was made for better things than this

. Also watching the price of a regular product I buy steadily going up. Then the unpacking of it all when I get home , the final insult.

McChubbin · 03-12-2014 01:58PM

TA: I've been sent to M&S to stock up on their lovely potato croquettes. We have about 6 packs of the things in the freezer and I told my mother under NO circumstances to open any packs as I'm NOT going back into the shagging shop for love or money.
Sunday comes. Guess what she serves with the roast? Potato croquettes.
I ended up having to dash into town today to buy more to replenish the Xmas Day stockade. :mad: Mammy, I love you but Jaysus, you do test my patience!

A Christmas present I ordered for Mr Pumpkinseeds is in a much bigger box than anticipated, now I'm going to have to be very creative finding somewhere to hide it.
