Almost two hours since the last post? Old man Giggles will lose his shit.
What's going on, lads?
And Spoonsky goes and posts. Fuck this board.
I'm on FM until my mate gets here then I'm off the pub :D
I'm cooking a risotto and drinking water. No time for posting.
:flirt:
Just seen Rogue One and now waiting on Chinese takeaway.
How about you @7om?
I forgot to take the pastry out of the freezer but only realised when I'd prepared most of the rest of the stuff for chicken pies.
I have an 11 month old with a Vomiting Virus and it was my day off to look after her. Fuck you and fuck Thursday.
I should be reading some shit history books but I can't be bothered.
I'm torrenting Lewis's book as well.
I'm currently wasting time at work because I'm off from tomorrow, and thank you for asking, Pleb.
Made my mum pause Monday's only connect so i could go for a shit. So yeah, currently shitting.
I was working hard. And when I checked earlier the US President thread was the only one being posted in so I like to go away and pretend it never happened.
On the subject of 'vomiting bugs' is this another thing that came in with Tony Blair? I never recall being sick once and then having to be off school for 2 whole days regardless of how entirely no longer unwell I was, whereas now that seems to be the standard operating procedure.
Is that really your book (I missed all that if it is)? If so, what the fuck's up with the price?
I'd sue him Lewis. Take all his cam girl money. You'd be doing him a favour, really.
I'm going to watch @Hammers MIGHTY BLADES.
The power just went off. If the battery in the only torch in the house runs out I will literally be sitting in the pitch black. And a second attempt at dinner cut short too, this is going well.
Christ, and I thought my fridge light breaking an hour ago was inconvenient.
I'm going to smoke a big joint and have toblerone for third dinner.
A picture of something I don't have is of negligible use right now.
I actually never took SD for a smoker. Funny what you learn over the course of a decade.
A wind up torch and some bird seed in the cupboard lads. Fuck off Ray Mears, this is easy.
I've been off today but running around like a cunt trying to sort out various Xmas things :moop:
Just put the tree up, listening to 'Mary's Boy Child' by Boney M (awful) and getting into the gin
This has been eventful so far. What's been going on at Coventry?
You complete shithouse.
Just seen Chinese takeaway and now going for a rogue one.
I've just written out over a hundred and fifty Christmas cards on behalf of my gran. If you're getting someone else to write them for you I reckon courtesy should tell you to keep the message as short as possible, but nope ' Have a lovely day and all the best for 2017' in every fucking one.
That was fast.
I always admire the people that jist sign their name at the bottom of the card. No message. No 'dear...'. 0 fucks.
Went my mates and played with her dogs. Came home and made tea. Now monging out while she stacks the dishes next to the sink but not actually doing them, and muggins here will end up doing them tomorrow before making my tea. :yop:
The same thing as at Charlton, I think. Some random geeze has taken over who doesn't give a shit about any of it.
I missed the first ten minutes. Were we MIGHTY during that time? We've looked pretty good passing it around. We've often been good passing it around this season. I think it might be only thing we do in training.
I'm impressed that Lewis' book is already on the internet. Who's put it online for the purpose of being pirated? How many copies have been sold?
How much money have you made Lewis? Must be rolling in it at £90 a pop.
I have been waiting for my DBS to clear for the pass eight weeks and finally started in my new/old job yesterday and today. After two months of late nights, I foolishly stayed up til gone 3am on Tuesday, left for work just after 7 and then last night I figured I would just do the same and slog it out today. Big fucking mistake. I've been dead all day but now I come and right when you need it least, I get the second second wind.
https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/56814/1/ethesis.pdf
It's his thesis but in a book format to sell to university libraries.
The original thesis has been available on the university website for about eighteen months, and I think I was meant to have had it taken down once the actual book came out. Oh well.
Well I remove the original facepalm from Mahow and give it to you. :facepalm:
I feel bad doing it through that link, but I will try and give that a read.
What the fuck has happened to this game :D
Listening to the retro sounds of Clean Cut Kid.
I've got a wank planned out post veggie burgers.
Should give Lewis the TTH collection money for you all reading his book.
Cracked into a filthy can of Strongbow. Breadline goals.
Just ordered a 20" pizza. Will try and do it in one.
Let us know. I think I put away a 16" once but it nearly did me in.
I seriously doubt I'll do it. Was out last night and haven't slept much so stomach is a bit wobbly, but you never know.
anyone wanna haxball?
Did half and one slice. Probably filled up too much on Pepsi, but it just tastes so good when you're dehydrated. Ultimately I reckon I could push on to 75% completion but I have to go out tonight and shitting myself becomes much more likely with every slice.
It's a failure for today, but next time I'll take it. For the board.
Late Night Thread at last :drool:
Thanks whichever mod did that.
Almost ready to head off to the airport and I'm getting the red-eye to Heathrow. It will be my first taste of Brexit air. Is it as refreshing as I'm imagining?
Beautiful. It cuts through your airways like a knife through an unrepentant Europhile's wrists.
Lewis giving his dad the snub in the acknowledgements. Harsh.
I planned to start wrapping presents at 19:30. It's now 21:44 and I've wrapped none, but also done nothing. Where has time gone?!
On my way to Manchester and in first class (there was a sale on giggles). Red wine and plenty of cheese. Bang on.
You don't need a sale keeks, you're big style.
Getting the cheap first class upgrades on the Norwich to Hull run used to make my year.
Ahh Manchester.
Cheese and broccoli pies washed down with pale ale. Friday night is happening folks.

Don't know where else to put this but have you always been able to see the reputation given to other people on their profile page?

This board is mega for stats and transparency.
"The most transparent administration in this websites history"
:cool:
Except if you have any kind of symbol in your name at which point the entire database breaks but don't tell anyone.
Is that why I wasn't able to register as pU$$y_KiLLa420?
Oh you could sign up, Lewis would just never be able to look up your posting history.
I never knew all those stats existed.
Me and @Magic clearly the saddest :cool:
You don't have a life.
Haha oh dear :(
If you're a sky subscriber keep an eye on your emails. I just got a free 14 quid voucher I used to download and buy finding dory :cool:
I went to York today with my friend, and we went in this sword shop. I asked the shop geezer whether the elaborate fantasy swords were any use (obviously not), and two loitering Randrew-types answered for the bloke and directed me towards the katanas upstairs. So what I did, right... What I did was I told them that Japanese swords are rubbish. They're all probably still arguing amongst themselves now.
'He's right. If I wanted to kill a load of people...'
*backs out*
:D
You're less than 24 hours away from living in the official UK City of Culture Lewis. You won't have to concern yourself with day trips out to places like York after that.
True. The lasting legacy from that will be the mega new paving through the centre. Everything else will be shit and/or forgotten.
Did you see the gun shop in York? Like a little slice of Alabama in the middle of Yorkshire. Strange place.
I haven't been to York in about five years, but we didn't bother having a look around because everywhere was rammed with foreigners.
Also, the pubs are surprisingly shit in York. I say 'surprisingly'. They are all just how you would expect a pub to look if it wanted to con money out of Americans.
'Gee, was this really built in 1644?'
*it might have been a pub for ten minutes some time before 1700, but then it was loads of other stuff, and then somebody built this pub in 1987*
'Yes.'
'How about that, Myrtle? 1644.'
*Myrtle isn't arsed because her family were Nazis*
I quite fancy a walk but its chucking it down. I might still go out for about 20 minutes because I'm so bored. The gammon is in the oven, though, so that'll be a nice 1am treat.
Aliens and fm. What a life.
I watched the 'Absolutely Fabulous' movie earlier. It was fucking bad, and what made it worse was that I didn't realise the theme tune (previously the series's only redeeming feature) was written by Bob Dylan. I fucking hate Bob Dylan.
Well, Jimmys stock just rises by the day in my book.
Decided to go for a run. Got fucking soaked, but getting soaked in rain is great fun when you don't have anywhere to be. Gammon ready in 20. I've roasted it with a bit of salt, pepper and loads of red onion.
Why are you about to die, Giggles? :(
:D What?
I'm eating Frazzles.
Frazzles are quality. Them and Chipsticks are right up there.
And if you don't eat Chipsticks by chomping a centimetre at a time you're a fucking paedophile.
Chipsticks stick in your teeth.
This gammon is banging. I'm gonna attempt to get through all of it.
Could have finished it, but thought better of it. #NewYearNewMe #Goals #We'reGammonIHopeYouLikeGammonToo
Just had a rollmop (literally got 2 jars of them as part of my christmas present from my uncle :D ) and gherkin sandwich. Pretty banging.
A what?
Pickled herring bro.
http://www.gazetadopovo.com.br/blogs...nta.png?fc9e39
You're not normal.
:drool:
Where do you live, igor? I've never heard of that before.
I do like pickled goods, but not a fan of shit little fish like herring.
What ever happened to Davgooner?
Still floats about the odd time doesn't he? Either that or he had one rumble too many and got his head caved in my some West Ham fans.
He hasn't stopped by since I've been posting again.
He broke the George Michael news on Christmas Day.
Yeah, to the paramedics.
Fair enough.
My family wouldn't stop talking about death after George Michael died. I ended up going to my mates, and then his mum went on a rant calling him a bastard for "making little girls fall in love with him" when he was gay, then kept grouping him in with Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris. She was wrong, and she's mental, but it was funny tbf.
This BattleBots is fun. It's just Robot Wars with more shouting (lots more shouting), but some MIT nerds got donned by some no-mark college in the middle of nowhere, and I bet they were absolutely SEETHING.
Currently -1 in M town. Warming myself up with nachos and whiskey.
Not sure where else to put it, so here it goes.
Anyone here flirted with the idea of two TVs in their living room? I so regularly take my TV through from my bedroom to dual screen (usually american football) that I'm considering just buying another TV (as close to identical to the other as feasible) and just having it there constantly.
Would only cost about £400 and I have a black Ikea 'Lack' shelf I could put up and put it on (or just wall mount it).
Note: I (obviously) don't have a wife/girlfriend so I have free reign to do whatever I want to my flat.
Why not then? I'd probably have done that by now if I was single.
Go on my son.
This has reminded me, do we have a TV thread?
Not saying that Foes thing should be in it (good idea btw, I'd do likewise if I could) but I want to buy a new one and have some questions.
Just buy a 60"?
Done. :cool:
£350 of vouchers, so only cost me £19 of actual money. Shelves can go up tomorrow after work. TV arrives on Saturday.
I spent quite a long time researching TVs around the 40 inch mark and around 300ish price a month or two ago.
http://www.techradar.com/news/televi...is-year-709255
I bought the 40" version of no 9 on that list. I think I paid around 330 for it. I've been very happy with it.
I just want to know is curved worth it over flat and is UHD worth it over HD. And if there are any other figures to watch out for. Something tells me Hz, and if that is the case then what's a good number?
Smart isn't really a necessity but once you get to the UHD ones they all seem to have their own smart interface anyway.
OLED > all. Take 'UHD' with a pinch of salt and really research what that means. You get what you pay for, basically. The jargon is all over the place being applied to shite TVs.
I didn't think UHD seemed worth it as I don't have any UHD sources. Unless you've got the source material, you're just going to be upscaling normal HD and it'll look slightly worse than on an HD screen.
I have no idea about curved. I've never really liked the idea of it. What are the advantages meant to be?
I can't remember exactly what Hz is for? Refresh rate? I think that's mostly just important for gaming so you don't get any input lag.
What about this? Was thinking about running up for it tomorrow, but it seems to have a lot off so it's probably some dud model with some bad spec I'm probably missing.
http://www.harveynorman.ie/tvs-headp...u6100kxxu.html
http://www.techhive.com/article/1848...resh_rate.html
Refresh rate explained. Also important for sport apparently. Seeems like above 120 is fine.
Did you see some of the marketing? If they call it anything other than what it is (i.e Trumotion) you can basically half it!
Really want a new telly now. :drool:
I only realised my TV had a netflix button and that I didn't need to buy that second PS4 about 4 months ago. I don't really worry about technology so much so long as I can make it play Recess and NFL.
Wrong time to buy a telly though. As Boyd alluded to the content isn't there yet. A year or two though. :drool:
I've had mine since 2011 as well. Not the right time if you want a long termer.
Slight improvements. Also the content.
4K is such a bullshit term as there are so many factors. Go in to a TV shop and look at the difference. You'll be amazed at what these cunts get away with.
I've got a curved monitor at work (for some reason we bought a load of Samsungs with it) and it is entirely pointless
I was in a Euronics shop the other day and was looking at a 500 quid 4K Sony TV on demo mode. Then I saw a 2.5k 4k one on demo mode. Both 4k demos. The difference was literally breathtaking.
Make sure you get a 4k one with HDR.
There's these slightly smaller with HDR. Can't see the refresh on the pages though (the Powercity website is awful).
http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-13-40KU640
http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-13-43UH661
http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-55UB850V
I got this over 2 years ago and the picture was absolutely breathtaking. I still notice it when I come home from holidays etc but I'm used to it now.
Used 3D twice, I did use 4K Netflix quite a lot pre-Kodi and that was equally amazing. It has upscaling too so you still get a better quality than 1080p.
I'm not sure how much it's moved on since, but I've had LG's for years and you can't go wrong. Maybe worth seeing what they have.
Some yank seems to have od'd in the backpacker area last night...
http://tuoitrenews.vn/society/38843/...inh-city-hotel
You have complete control over the house and it's 'only' four hundred quid. You're not even asking for advice on which product to buy, so why bother pretending that's not a 'two tellies in the sitting room, envy me' post?
My mate has a curved TV and while I haven't watched any live drama on it I have watched live sport and done some HD gaming there. Farcry 4 looks absolutely fantastic on it and while it's very subtle the curve seems to help 3D sound design. You need to think about the positioning of both it and your furniture though, which I'm sure your Feng Shui expert can help with.
That sort of confirms that for now 4K isn't a concrete display standard where televisions are concerned, but a vague technological upgrade that companies can use to claim that their new product is better than their last. I reckon I could claim my current TV can support 4K and it'd be about three years before anyone suggested or could prove otherwise.
He means that if a feature has some nonsense marketing name which avoids specifics then it almost certainly isn't as special as they claim. If they tell you their new TV has fifteen HD ports and a 1080p display, you can believe that. If they claim to have TOSHIBAVISION which is loosely linked to loads of claims about other TVs then you can't.
Imagine being on a date with someone and then going back to their house to find they have two TVs in their living room.
'How come you've had that hat on all ni...'
'LOOK AT ME TELLIES!'
I've given up. Picking one is a minefield if you're not going to four figures. The fact that the ones I've looked at are all on sales most likely means they're all shit anyway.
Pretty much anything sounds like an upgrade on your current one so I wouldn't worry that much.
What did you get the vouchers for? Are you likely to use them for anything else?
All4one vouchers so can use them for pretty much anything. Most shops here take them and they now have a 16 digit and a CCV number on them so you can use them online too. I've amalgamated them into the one card now so it's basically a single 500 euro one. A laptop was the only other thing I was interested in for myself but it's only as notion for FM and if 14, 15, and 16 are anything to go by I will have bored of it this time next month. Looked at Chromebooks too but I've the Pixel C so I'd really have no use for one.
Might just use it for groceries.
I could do with a telly if you're not sure which to buy, Giggles. I'm easy.
I've always thought that it's weird more living rooms don't have more TVs tbh.
Why would you need more than one?
To watch the same thing on both.
:D
Well, most of the time I'm not interested in whatever is on TV, so I'd rather have my own setup in the living room so I can beast Rocket League and still be somewhat social.
I'm so fucking bored. All week I'd been looking forward to having a quiet Saturday night for once, and now I just wanna get oiled and nobody wants to play with Igor :( .
Alright igor.
Sup Lew
Not a lot, mate. I'm reading about keeping pigs as pets. The advice seems to be to have two, because they are very sociable animals.
I mentioned "clitoral hood" in passing to the young lady I'm currently providing with disappointing sex and she didn't believe it was a thing. When showing her on wikipedia i made the startling discovery that women can accumulate smegma in there. The more you know.
Pigs are cool. They're super cute and pork is delicious. x
That would be a good name for a metal band.
her ex boyfriend is in a shit metal band. their music sounds like BLUUUUUURGH RAWWWWWR and their lyrics are such embarrassing pseud bullshit, but all their videos are "lyrics videos", i.e. videos which have all the lyrics appearing like shit powerpoint effects throughout which makes it much worse because it means the lead singer actually wants people to read his sub-6th form poetry and think he's some kinda artist.
He's probably on a Slipknot forum right now calling you Colin Hunt.
Cracking exchanges
Is this the one from before, Igor?
You're really missing that dog, huh, Lewis?
Is she not buggering off again?

That's actually known as his E.T. picture.
I bought an Easter egg today.
We went to Colchester Zoo today. Fucking ice everywhere, half the outside enclosures had the glass completely frosted over. On the plus side I had the best and gayest bath of all time when I got home. Nothing like a gingerbread bath bomb to thaw your bollocks.
By forcing them back into your body.
Baths :cool:
Baths are great. It's not really sitting in your own filth unless you're some kind of animal that washes once a month while rolling around in mud every morning.
Yeah I don't the confusion with baths...
Being a first world white male my body has dry sweat on it at worst. I don't use the bath as a toilet I don't use it as a bath to marinate in my digestive juices.
What sort of revolting state is your body in Mert by the end of your day?
I dislike baths cos I don't like the sensation of my testicles floating.
In fairness, Mert is fat and Turkish. By the time the sweat and seediness washes off you've only got 50% water in there.
Fucking hell I'm sure I got rounded on for declaring the supremacy of the bath on here a few months ago. I love baths. Big, foamy ones and absolutely roasting salty ones. Reading and pondering in a bath really is marvellous.
The bath bores me and I'm too worried about the steam damaging any books to read in it.
Football on the iPad is bath nirvana :drool:
No but I keep them on my shelves and don't want them damaged.
Have successfully installed TV number 2 on the wall in the living room.
Upside: It hasn't fallen off the wall.
Downside: It's seems to be impossible to control each TV individually. Fucking bullshit.
Tex Mex Peperamis are incredible
I think I remember him saying he'd bought the same TV twice.
:face:
That's a new low for the board. We really are a useless shower of cunts.

That could be some sort of autism thought experiment. Would the necessity of different-looking devices negate the enjoyment of having them?

Foe. :D
Everything I've eaten today.
Wouldn't be Saturday night without a Leedsrev binge.
Why would you need two televisions? I can't find decent enough programmes to justify one.
How do you get that fat with a mouth that small?
Are you ever?
Cheers, mate, but I actually had most of one of these for tea. It was pretty good for a shop-bought pie, if anybody fancies a pie this week.
Pies are the king of foods.
I asked this before, but why hasn't America embraced savoury pastries? By all rights sausage rolls should be massive there, but they're too busy over-filling sandwiches.
Yeh but not in America because of the "Chicken Pot Pie" culture.
Meat pies are self-contained. Pot pies are stews with lids on. FRAUDS, if you will. There is money to be made in savoury pastries if the law profession is too Jewish for your liking.
Proper fully enclosed pies should have shortcrust too, not that puff abomination.
Pigs in blankets are Christmas food here for no good reason. I'd eat a hundred a day all year but they only turn up in shops at the start of December. They're not close to sausage rolls though.
The pastry used in pot pies is the same stuff used in the best sausage rolls too so it is a genuine mystery why they haven't been embraced in the same way.
Puff is amazing.
Also, 'casseroles' in America look like cat vomit.
Do you eat pizza with a fork and knife mert? Jesus Christ lad.
I asked for a fork and knife in a burger place the other week, and the lad gave me a load of grief like I was disrespecting his art. It's a burger, chief. Get over yourself.
He better not mean that or he can find something else to call them. Pigs in blankets are cocktail sausages or chipolatas wrapped in bacon, not a hot dog sausage rammed through a croissant.
To be fair you should've been kicked out for that nonsense. I refuse a fork and knife where possible at home. Gravy/mash/Peas/beans/soup require one, the rest of the other stuff I eat, full caveman.
EDIT: @HILLSBRO
It's a new hipster pub in Hull (City of Culture, mate), within which some ponce with an ironic beard churns out elaborate burgers. I would have asked anyway, because I have a div complex about greasy hands, but this came with the added benefit of annoying him.
Anything to fuck with a hipster. Fair play. I miss the local 7 patty effort for £10. No idea what the meat actually was, damn near broke my jaw attempting it sans fork and knife.
I'm sure they do. It's a sausage and it's bacon, you could leave them a day and smother them in HP Fruit Sauce and the quality would still shine through, but a pig in a blanket is what it is, and it isn't a fucking Cumberland wrapped in eight packs of bacon, as great as that would be.
After reading this last page I really want a sausage roll and have no way of getting one. Bastards.
Make some.
Deep fried haggis, i.e. haggis balls, are fucking amazing, so I'm not really sure that worked.
I went to similar place in Leeds a couple of months ago, staffed by similarly shit-beard-having wankers, where they didn't even have plates. They put all the burgers on a tray in the middle and then brought out a kitchen roll in lieu of actual, proper eating surfaces. I assume for a more "authentic" experience, or some such nonsense.
I also couldn't buy a pint of fucking lager either. My options where either one of those shit little BrewDog cans (which on reflection should have been my first major hint at the wankery to come), a 2/3 of a pint glass or a pitcher. Tossers.
Battered chips > all
The Black Country's contribution to the art of food.
Battered chips you say? That's a new one to me, but it sounds ace.
It was recently brought to my attention by a girl at work that where she's from (I want to say Wigan, or somewhere around that way) putting a pie inside a bread cake and eating it is a thing. Which fascinated me. Can anyone confirm that?
No idea what a bread cake is but pie in a roll is pretty commonplace.
Bread cake :cab:
Fucking Northerners.
Want.
That would definitely seem to be it.
http://thumbsnap.com/sc/NpHH4yTe.jpg
Amazing. :D
Meat pie in a bap lad. Douse it in gravy if you're feeling wild.
Battered chips sound awful.
Fucking incredible :drool:
http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experie...38316efe60.jpg
Our local chippy does 'em. The scraps too :drool:
Very few foods exist that aren't improved by batter.
The Chinese closest to me batters its 'salt and chilli' chips, which are amazing, but I've never had normal battered chips.
Stick a Scotch pie in a roll and fill the little recess on the top with beans, then put a handful of strong grated cheddar on top. You'll go numb down one side within about ten minutes of finishing it but it's well worth the heart attack.
These Baftas are hilarious. The last, desperate screech of the Luvvie Nation.
Barm?
What does the bread roll bring to the meal? I mean apart from yet more starch/carbs on the plate.
What does it bring to any meal? Why make any sandwich? You could just eat your ham and cheese off a plate.
I'm calling a "bread roll" a barm cake.
Whereas in real life a bread roll is one of those hard ones that there are basket and baskets of on package holidays, that you have with soup.
And baps are breasts.
https://media.giphy.com/media/d3mlE7...EmY/source.gif
Goons here have stupid names for them too like blaa, but bread still isn't cake.
They're fine but you need a mixture of stuff to balance it out, that's the entire logic behind a pie in the first place. That looks like having a toast and potato sandwich.
Roasting and eating a chicken with nothing else is still nice but a proper roast with potatoes/veg/gravy/yorkshires/whatever floats your boat is better. Isn't it? All the bits complement each other. All I see on that plate is dry, relatively flavourless bread and starch, there's no balance.
Fine if you like that kind of thing but it seems a pointless addition to me.
Only a mentalist calls it a barm cake. Its just a barm ya yuppie twat.
Three 'dry' to one 'wet', it's out of whack. If you're going to do that to your food you might as well move to Scotland and be done with it.
Even pie and chips can become a bit death by stodge if the gravy isn't flowing, so yeah, lol at whatever that is.
I forgot you all put gravy on chips over there.
Certainly not.
I had it up your way before from a Chinese (gravy chips with peas and onions is almost your national dish at this stage) but that's better gravy than anything they serve up on the mainland. The English, especially north, seem mad for it though. You wouldn't really get it in Ireland, not even in a Chinese.
Chips and gravy from a Chinese? You shouldn't be allowed teeth.
I've only realised in the last year or so that I don't think I even have the same idea of what gravy is that northerners do.
There's not a chip shop or Chinese in Northern Ireland that doesn't sell gravy chips. You don't ask for the peas and onions either, you have to ask them to leave them out.
You'll actually see it on the list of sauces on a northy Chinese menu, meaning that it's a viable option on a chicken fried rice or anything.
I'd eat chips in gravy occasionally if that was the only allowed way to eat chips, but I don't really get why you'd choose you make something crispy soggy.
Any gravy worth a wank would be thick enough to barely soak into the chips, so that wouldn't be a problem.
The state of this.
Ken Loach is such a tiring cunt. Fuck him and his shit films.
Wide awake now as kid isn't well. Just what I need after an exhausting weekend and huge job tomorrow.
Edit: yes just what she needs as well I'm a terrible father etc
I think of gravy as a thin, flavoursome liquid you pour over roasts. Northerners seem to have this totally different concoction which tastes of shit, is packed out with flour, slides over its subject like flubber rather than mixing in, and forms the essential brown goo of the northern soul.
No doubt you have to call it jus anglais when recounting your embattled childhood to your smug new friends.
Same in Wales.
Speaking about gravy is not inclusive to us non-brits you insensitive twats.
Fuck off then.
I emailed Peperami comparing their snacks to Trump and now they've replied asking for my email. I'm expecting the CIA at any moment.
In what way did you compare them?
Just said that they're orange and despite them being awful for you they're just so much fun.. They're sending me free Tex-Mex, fucking result.

I've google Peprami and I'm wondering why anyone would eat anything like that.
And their mascot or logo or whatever looks like an angry version of Mr Hanky.
You had better be keeping a healthy, balanced diet, otherwise you're just ripping them off.
I'd be willing to bet that the Pepperami mascot thing pre-dates Mr Hankey.
I'm about to put a face mask on. :handbags:
The one near me does 'hot and sour soup' which I've never been brave enough to try but does sound worse than chips with what is essentially a sauce.
You spelt 'gimp' wrong
It's probably some Eyes Wide Shut thing where he wears Mike's face to bed.
No need, I reckon they wife swap. And by wife swap I mean Mike shags Mrs Baz then gives him a hand job.
You still shouldn't swirl it all together on your plate like Sama though.
The Chinese gravy is the top gravy too. They use dried blood I it and it turns to jelly if you let it go cold :drool:
The Yellow Peril here do top, top gravy. It must have some absolute filth in it, but whatever.
Aye my local chippy is a Chinese. Their English menu is 10x better than their Rat Chow Mein and other shite.
The shop is called Silver Star. I meant the people making it without breaks (or passports).
They're sending me free Riesen chocolate now. This is the fucking future.
I'll tweet a food company a day linking a product I like to an unfashionable politician.
'Oi, Tunnock's, those tea cakes are bit Nigel Farage'
Still nothing for Pol Pot Noodle.
I called Riesen the Obama of confectionery, and Daim the Trump. It works lads, vague political comments, free stuff.
Gonna call Heinz the Hitler of beans later.
:D
The 'have a nice day' from Peperami kinda read like a passive-aggressive 'fuck you'.

Their other dog died, so we've got him to stop him getting depressed or some stupid new age shit. I bought him a new heater today and it isn't working, so I'm going to go back to Argos and Angle Slam the entire shop.
What does he need a heater for? He looks like he overheats just walking to his food bowl.
He sleeps in the kitchen, and it gets a bit cold at night.
A heater. :lol:
Just cuddle with him.
His snoring would keep me awake.
That were bloody quick
http://i.imgur.com/6DqwWuK.jpg
Are you tweeting at them or what?
A fucking heater to cheer up a dog :D
If it's one of those electric space heaters you'll just end up with a twelve grand bill and a house that stinks of singed fur.
It's to keep him warm. Being here cheers him up.
Speaking of dogs, we move into our house in a week or so, and I can't wait to get our own dog. I've wanted a dog since I was about 9.
Got a particular breed in mind?
I'm still amused by the heater, you know he's not a reptile right?
Not really, but not too massive. The plan is to go to a rescue shelter and just be open minded.
Get a fanny licker like Leeds has.
Get a Dog de Bordeaux Mastiff cross. Thick as fuck, look intimidating but soft as shit.

What's so hard to understand about a heater? It is cold, so he'll use a heater. So that it stops being cold.
We're not reptiles but like fuck am I sitting without heat on these days.
A fat dog does not need a heater, just shelter. It would be fine outside all year round.
He would be 'fine' sitting on the floor and not eating ice cream, but why not make his life a happier one?
I read today that sales of Red Bull last year were upwards of £40billion. That sounds unbelievably high, do they make stuff that doesn't taste like sick that I'm just not aware of?
It's the fuel that keeps aggressive tosspots going.
I'd imagine most of that is from jagerbombs.
The brand or the company? Presumably they make most of the cheaper brands that taste the same too.
It's the fuel needed to keep camgirls going.
Is that not heroin?
Being sustained by their tears would suggest a degree of emotional attachment.
First Saturday without plans in yonks and I'm struggling for ideas
Trainspotting and a sly indoor smoke may be on the cards.
I tried it on with the sword shop lads in York today, and one told me 'Of course they're (Japanese swords) rubbish. I couldn't sell you a sharpened broadsword THAT I COULD DISEMBOWEL YOU WITH!' Chillax, lad. I see what you mean. I also went to the House of Trembling Madness, which was crap and full of the sort of people who have 'Swears too much' or 'Tea drinker' in their Twitter biographies, but we were fortunate in that the queue only started forming behind us. You would be seething if you waited forty minutes for a seat.
What did you have?
Sausage, mash and mushy peas if he was any sort of man.
Why are you 'trying it on' with lads in a sword shop, Lew? Have I missed some kind of coming out?
Obviously.

This is so good.
A vulture’s digestive tract can easily handle the bubonic plague, rabies, distemper, anthrax, and most all other evil, little, biological nasties that threaten other forms of life on Earth.
Quite late with the old posting last night Quinc. How was that commute with limited sleep?
Bit harsh. Just trying to spark some conversation and get you involved so you don't leave us.
What did you have for lunch?
Don't be a scroat.
Hey it's your lunch hour. Eat what you like.
Tried to put my jumper on whilst wearing a backpack today.
Why can't I do normal things :(
Three posts that sum the board up
My burd just invited the group chat to the pub. Problem being that the pub is in a village 3 miles out of town, and they're there to celebrate the life of her grandfather. Me and my mate decided that gatecrashing a wake full of wasted old Irish blokes would be entirely inappropriate. I don't think she's thought it through.
So now I'm drinking whisky and listening to Scott Walker. Scott Walker, lads, yay or nay? I quite like him, but can see why people would hate him. x
actually nah he's quality and fuck you if you disagree
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKtZf62BQzM
What's the 'group chat'. Is that 2017 speak for her friends?
I think it's about 2014 speak Grandpa.
Probably.
Obvious yeah but that's literally the only song I know. It is an absolute banger though.
It's just useful shorthand Giggles me old mucker. I thought by specifying "group chat" it informed any eager readers that it was an invitation sent
a) on social media
b) to a group of people
"THE" group chat also implies it's a fairly tightly knit group, and not just A group chat. Like the group chat we use specifically to organise board game sessions.
The fact it was done on social media though also makes it pretty clear this is a fairly throwaway thing. If she'd asked just me specifically I'd assume it was a "I need you here, Igor", emotional plea. Likewise if she'd contacted us via telegram or something.
See, all of that depth of meaning condensed into a couple of words. A lot to lose for the petty objective of maintaining linguistic purity.
Thanks for clearing that up. I'm just glad they're all people she knows.
Scott Walker released an album about ten years ago called The Drift that genuinely scared the shit out of me. I bought it on a whim one day, I believe due to some fairly glowing write-ups, listened to it once and then wouldn't have it in the house after that.
What do they do?
Yeah, they're ace. I was into it when I was younger and still follow a couple of Tumblrs just to look at the painting/models.
Still love Dawn Of War the PC game too.
I had Warhammer 40000 but the rule book went into hundreds of pages so I just used to play with the figures as ridiculously expensive equivalents to green army men.
I used to collect die-cast Corgi vehicles.
That sentence works well with the avatar.
When I used to go on my late night mooches around Norwich the Games Workshop used to hold all-nighters for it. I had a look through the window once to investigate, and they all just stood around waiting for me to leave like I was putting them off.
Good lord you don't go in the shop, those lads are a different breed.
I went into one when I was younger because some of my friends liked Warhammer.
Nerds was being kind to them.
There was a kid at school unanimously regarded as the hardest in the year, he's now a manager at a Games Workshop and apparently was well into it back then too. Dreams can come true.
You say nerds, but you should have seen the face my friend was pulling the other day as I described my involvement with this place.
'No, it wasn't... I was the cool one. I never warned anyone.'
thats a blood good joke there mate :rolleyes:
Warhammer is for cool people.
I doubt it, it always struck me as being for neckbearded virgins like Mahow. There's no super intimidating female figures, is there?
What is Warhammer? Some geeky Dungeons and Dragons nonsense like Game Of Thrones?
I honestly don't remember posting that. Sorry lads.
I honestly don't remember posting that. Sorry Mahow.
Some bloke cornered me in the toilets of a goth pub last night, and kept aggressively asking me why his account got closed, telling me he wasn't a drug dealer and asking me to take lines of coke. Once I'd recovered, I put 3 KLF songs on in a row on the jukebox to annoy the grebs, then went back to my bird's house and broke up with her. A successful evening.
That's leedsrevolution levels of mess.
Steady on.
BBC2, lads. :nodd:
I'd love a quid for every time IRA is mentioned on this kip.
You alright, Francis, lad?
Just 'enjoying' a night out in the land of hate. It's like home in fairness.
Are these positive or negative mentions?
I still have the full set. :cool:
I only actually bought about five packets as well. My brother nicked loads of them off some lad at school (who couldn't report it, because they were banned on school grounds after some wallies started fighting over them), and then I just swapped/won what I needed.
Did you miss where I boasted about my collection and used the :cool: face?
blackcurrant wanking in the shower
Came across a bloke last night who was shirtless and starting on absolutely everybody. Well overweight and angrier than I've seen anybody for a while. Anyway, the only actual stand-off was with a taxi, which ended a draw. I kinda wish I'd spoken to him just to find out what he'd been on.
Nicked a light bulb from a building site yesterday. There was about 15 of them lighting the path from the train station to the car park. If I hadn't been with my parents I'd have got as many as I could fit in my pockets.
Screw-in though, so I only really need one, for my outside light.
I had to replace a bulb the other day. Every room in this flat has a different fitting. Who does that?
LED spotlights in the kitchen. There are three different fittings for the bulb types so I had to eyeball it and consult youtube on which one it was likely to be. Plus I have high ceilings. My stepladder just does the job.

How does that have 311m views?
Parents/kids + people learning English?
Toddler crack.
Some of the absolute shite that has hundreds of millions of views on youtube is frankly disgraceful. Take a look at Disney Princess (I think that's the one). Am I right in thinking they are making an absolute mint out of it as well (in addition to all the free crap they get to 'open')?.
Lads. No posts in ninety minutes. Harold would have had about five arguments on the go.
iya Lewis
Hey mate.
I've got some Maltesers, they really are great.
I'm pretty bored.
I like that you posted that, went away for a bit, and then came back to moan about something.
Why is Hazza banned? Did he actually do something or did he just cause a seethe by having an unpopular opinion on something?
#unbanHaz
Can we unban Haz but confine him to the one thread together with Mert? Just them two?
As a social experiment.
"We'd like to announce our engagement."
That and the fact he was a gigantic bellend
He's stopped pretending he can post normally and just turbo trolls it. It's strange as he used to be able to talk without video assistance.
Does anyone follow Very British Problems on whichever medium you prefer?
It's just Jimmy really isn't it?
I don't, but Crap 90s Football is brilliant.
Whoever runs that British Problems account is everything wrong with the country (possibly even the Western world). Ooh, aren't we twee and anxious? Not really, mate.
90s Football is great on Facebook. I think I mentioned before, but there are obviously two people running it together with two very different spheres of interest. One of them is basically operating a Gazzetta Football Italia tribute while the other posts pictures of Neil Emblen.
'Jordan, or Jord; but people say I'm a bit like Mark Corrigan... You know, from Peep Show? So you can call me Mark if you li...'
*party finished an hour ago*
Woke up around 9 still tired but got up and did stuff. I've been for a 1h40m run. I was exhausted during and especially when I got back around 8, but stuck the football on and just chilled, then started reading but got too tired to concentrate around half 11.
Somehow I'm still awake. I swear my body works on a 28-30 hour day.
What you up to now, Offy? You still at Uni in Brighton (was it Brighton?)?
One month left at Sussex then hopefully stay in Brighton but I'll have to find a job very quickly.
All action around my street this morning.
Some little twats robbed the shop round the corner of sixty quid worth of cigarettes, then tried to get away in a stolen Range Rover. Being sixteen and Scottish, they were obviously drunk at seven on a Tuesday morning and somehow managed to flip the Range Rover over a parked car about forty yards away. Christ knows how they got the speed up.
So my whole street is now taped off and there's the sort of police response usually only seen for murders.
Pretty sure someone's been murdered on the streets of Dundee during the night. Well in, MJ.
Ffs Lawton road I used to stay literally round the corner. Pretty scummy but not murder territory! Probs junkies.
Edit: close call!
Hope you're both okay at this time.
Will it be safe for me next weekend?
Where are you going?
Lawton Road.
Nicholls Bakery. :drool:
Was my place of lunch throughout 4th and 5th year when we moved to Rocky.
Depending on the result tonight, I might try and head to Falkirk with the FIL. Mon the Arabs.
The one who stole the car was trying to sell it for a grand during the night. He's notorious around my area for this sort of shit, but somehow never gets into any real trouble.
U wot?
Person that was murdered was due to him shagging some bird. The husband of this lady then decided to stab the fuck out of the guy outside Nicholls bakery. The girl it was all over is very dece looking.
What's her name? I see the guy who got killed don't recognise him tho
According to waff he was shagging his own daughter. :harold:
