Whisper it quietly but...

I used to like a Quorn stir fry. It's not vegan 'cos it's got eggs in though. But 'vegans' these days are people who don't eat meat on Tuesdays, like a bit of fish, will eat eggs, wear leather shoes and drink cow's milk.

But it doesn't taste anything like steak, I bought one by mistake and it was mushroom pie. Mushrooms make me puke.

Coulda been worse, at least it wasn't a "Protein" Snickers. There's some saliva I'll never get back.

Disney+ taking the piss and increasing their annual subscription from £79.90 to £109.90 . One less customer.

So now i have to paint it white first, then put the new colour on. Just as well it was the small hallway and not the lounge I suppose...

FFS, apparently I've got dodgy charges going back to November last year, all say Apple but Apple deny any knowledge, will have to wait and see what gets refunded for a total.

My wisdom tooth is BMP right now. Had a back tooth extracted many years ago. A few years later the dentist told me I have a wisdom tooth making its way down. As it was heading straight down it should be able to go into the gap provided by the extracted tooth, but it may change direction? :wtf: It broke the surface some years back and that was it. Howvever,in the last 10 days the bastard thing has decided to come down and join the other teeth in a very painful and annoying way! :x
