# indeed
mass market ones are shit and have all the appeal of a meaty dogturd wrapped in cardbaord.

however, if you can find a good place that makes them on site, and they get it right, they are fucking lovely.

the cheap ones are much better if heated in an oven, but cold they are rank

# tell me about it! beetroot on burgers is wrong!
i only rediscovered them because they're so in your face here, i hadn't eaten a beetroot in over 20 years.
what gets me more though are the pizzas. what sane person puts POTATOES on a pizza?

I remember once sitting in the pizza shop waiting for my pizza and there was a guy talking to the owner - obviously a mate - "yeah, yeah - OK give us one of those pizzas - you know with seafood and shit.." - that must be the worst kind of pizza ever!

# Here for a postdoc position.
I had been applying for funding, but the department didn't want to make up the small shortfall in funding, so they won't even back my application. They also took so long to decide that there's not eim left to apply elsewhere. Contract ends in four months and there's the square root of fuck-all going at the moment unless I want to take a 50% paycut and move back to Britain where there is a similar level of fuck-all going.
I am happy and cheerful.

# Metal-organic frameworks and molecular magnetism.
There is a post going in Edinburgh, but it's more of the same and I'd hoped to go for a lectureship. Something with a contract longer than one year.

# completely beyond my comprehension then!
I'm not too au faix with Postdocs. My wife talked about doing one a few years ago, but she got a lecturing job and that was pretty much the end of it. So, does this mean you're working in the private sector at the moment and trying to get funding through work, or are you at a uni?
Edinburgh's a good uni though right?

It's at Heriot-Watt, which is still a good uni. It's just that I've been a post doc for four years and wanted to get on a bit with this research lark.
