Surely Sir and Madam can manage on takeaways (and the wine 'cellar') until Jan 6?

TBF, if I didn't love my job (and the fact that it could become permanent) I'd offer to go cook, sounds like I could manage better!!Count Steer wrote: Sun Dec 24, 2023 5:05 pmSurely Sir and Madam can manage on takeaways (and the wine 'cellar') until Jan 6?![]()

I wonder why last years cook didn't come back? Hey ho...some are born to rule, some are born to serve. Maybe 'mum' would get her arse into gear and find out where the kitchen is.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Not sure I approve of that. Beef dripping, on bread with a sprinkle of salt or 'fried bread', OK, but pork? Hmmm, I'll get back to you.ZRX61 wrote: Sun Dec 24, 2023 6:15 pmI recently discovered that WallyWorld has tubs of bacon drippingCount Steer wrote: Sun Dec 24, 2023 6:07 pm I think a week on bread and dripping or takeaways will do them a world of good.![]()

Flat NO

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Outside the supermarche yesterday, the missus and I are approached by a strongly limping young woman complete with walking stick. She has a sob story about being flooded out and hungry ( I'm not sure how the two correlate, but yes there has been local flooding). As I'm rolling my eyes my missus is scratching for change in my wallet and a few coins drops out to the tarmac. "Limpy' displays skills that would be envied by olympic gymnasts in her haste to retrieve them ...

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
One of the guys in our Kaw group does this. We organize a ride leaving at 9am, with additional faffing about we leave a bit late...Noggin wrote: Mon Dec 25, 2023 7:55 pm Just start at 2pm as advised and then if they miss anything then that's their problem!!!
Then just as we get to the end of the road from the meeting place he comes around the corner & tags onto the back of the group.
When asked why he was late, stated "I would have been on time, but decided to wash my bike before coming over".. having known what time the group was leaving for at least a week.
At least twice he's shown up at the meet-up spot a week late.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Being woken up after 90 mins sleep at 1030 after a night shift (despite ear plugs) as one of the houses backing onto our corner plot decided to start landscaping their back garden with a fucking digger and chain saws. It's Boxing Day FFS! *unts!

Cooker is fucking about. Put a ring on and it heats up, then dies a few seconds later. Does it on all four rings.
