    Ive those veggie stock cubes(like jelly ones) but need the mix as well.Spuds and veg still in water because Im too lazy to go to the shop:(

    Just pour some wine in there, thicken it with flour and tell the family it is a new recepie bourguignon.
    Plus you then have an open bottle of wine.

    Win Win!

    7.45am I peeled spuds and veg for a stew as Im working late tonight and they might manage to reheat food without burning down the house.Everything ready to go into the pot and no feckin stew mix...every other kind on a mix there,stuff that will never be used but not the one I want..:mad:

    it's such a perfect day for stew. I'm not a big fan of celery but I love it in a stew.

    ta that whenever I make it though, it's never as good as my mams :(

    Bad enough endless media hype and emails about Black Friday all sodding weekend, but now even more hysterical screaming in both my text and email inboxen about Cyber Monday. Now hear this: Do Not Want Guy does... not... want! :mad:

    I got the worst marketing email EVER last night from some company. It was a resignation letter from their "accountant" because he couldn't handle the fact that they were extending the black Friday sale. :rolleyes:

    Ordered a Chinese for dinner on Saturday night. Knew it was going to be dinner for hours. Built up the hype. Same place for years. Could taste it before it arrived.

    Then it arrived. I knew something was up when I sat down to my chicken curry. This was not the off-green/yellow I was used to. And then I took my first bite. It was nice. Very nice. But it wasn't what I was used to. Not the same. They changed the sauce. The feckin' sauce. :mad:

    I had also drank a bottle of Southern Comfort the night before so that curry came out faster than it went in. Christ Almighty. Still reeling from it this morning.

    I'd nearly believe it. Accountants tend to hit integer wraparound at 32,767, at which point their little braaanes explodiate. :pac:

    I used to get messages in my college days like 'Wanna Cyber?'
    It had nothing to do with shopping.

    This morning. Running late. Get to luas stop and the tram pulls in on the wrong side. Turns out there's a problem with the red line (every.second.fúcking.day). We've all to stand in the rain and wind waiting for a tram to Tallaght. Then hike across Tallaght land to get to a bus stop. So I'm an accidental bus passenger today :mad: Half an hour standing under the least effective bus "shelter" I've ever had the misfortune of standing under. Rain coming through from above, wind coming at us from all sides. The wind was actually blowing ALL directions ffs. And the rain - it doesn't even have the fúcking decency to rain straight in this country! Then when the bus did arrive, the usual arguing with the driver about the leap card.

    - I've already tagged onto the luas and paid for a journey. I'm not tagging onto a bus too! :mad::mad:

    Quite recently I realised I will never be at peace unless I eat alone. Dining out is fine because of the background noise but eating as a family drives me demented. Sounds of people chewing are just vile. Then there's people who spring a leak eating a curry and think its ok to snot into a tissue at the table. Vile. People scraping knives and forks off plates is another one. Slurping too. God! :(

    Do you remember the good ol days when one could have a fag in restaurant? Smoke before dinner, smoke between courses, smoke at the end, and a big manky ash tray in the middle of the dinner table.....of course I smoked back them and could not see thing wrong with this.

    Then there was the NO SMOKING section, two feet away, for the weirdos.

    People placing dishes in the dishrack the wrong way after washing them, so that even hours later there is a little bit of liquid caught in the bottom of a glass/cup.

    Also get irrationally angry at dog poo on the footpath. It's not THAT trivial, I suppose, but I get really disproportionately angry!

    I'm thinking of heading to London for a few days in January, and I'd prefer to fly through Heathrow, but it's far more expensive to fly back from Heathrow to Dublin than it is to fly the other way.

    The problem is mostly airport charges: Dublin Airport charges €10.30 pp this year, while Heathrow charges £24.59 (€34.88 at today's rates). What does Heathrow do to charge three times as much as Dublin? I have no idea. I know it's not going in to passenger services ... Ryanair to Luton, I suppose. :(

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    well there's too much traffic going through Heathrow and they want you to go to Luton

    Fúcking DPD! I'm about to blow a gasket here! Moronic drivers who don't know how to use a phone or a map. Who call once and hang up then send your item back to the depot because they don't want to deliver. :mad:

    "Are you all set for the Xmas?"

    And the response is (all together now)

    "I'm all set to kick you up the hole!"

    Why don’t the cleaners at work run the vacuum cleaner over our keyboards?
    Mine is less than a year old and has a rake of grot down there. Probably because of me eating food at my desk (which is a TA for lots of you). But still!
    Will have to take it home tonight and clean it myself. Or get a new one.
