What meal reminds you of being ill in childhood, in a comforting way?
For me it's
- Mashed potato
- Chopped up fish fingers (into 3 or 4 pieces)
- Baked Beens
- Chopped up fried egg.
... the whole lot mixed up together into a big mess, but with the verious textures involved, it's well lush.

but this has made me feel violently ill.

I've got to tidy and clean my room today, it's a right proper mess. I might load my clothes into a bin-bag and get the local laundertte clean/dry/iron/whatever the whole lot, socks'n'pants too, just everything. I don't really care how much it costs, within reason, I just can't face the amounting pile of it. Plus I don't have a dryer so it'll take me weeks.
I need a wife.

We used to have "bits and pieces" on a Friday evening when I was younger. It was a treat, my mum couldn't be arsed to cook at the end of the week, we'd have a small sandwich with the crusts cut off, some hulahoops or other crisps, a pickled onion, some cheese and whatever else she could find, all topped off with a glass of fizzy and a Supermousse.

it was a chocolate sauce that you squirted over ice cream and then it hardened into a delicious chocolatey shell.

but yeah... it's been a LONG time since i had a date that i would count as "awesome". and even then he turned out to be engaged. things i have finally learned in 2010 about dating and intend to implement in 2011:
i - too much build-up is a Bad Thing, because inevitably neither of you can live up to it and you will end up fighting a crashing sense of disappointment whilst trying to look keener than you are. ditto spending too much time together on a first date. short and sweet is the way forward.
ii - life is too short for shit sex. everyone is allowed to fumble a bit the first time. but if he is still shit the second/third/fourth shag, it ain't getting any better.
iii - if he is sexy and sane and local, he will also be married.

1. They all lie.
2. If they say they're interested, their attention will snap off within 2 weeks, and if not, they're a creep and run away fast.
3. Don't give up the goods.
4. Don't drink too much. You'll end up doing a lot of things you regret.
