Darth Foxtrot
During the Christmas break, I met DF's missus.

She's a very nice girl, as pretty a the pictures suggest and remarkable for three other reasons; she's real; she's a woman; she's incredibly tall.

What surprises have you had recently?

Got me home
it broke horrendously yesterday morning as I was driving to the garage, but my brother came and twatted it with a screwdriver and it was fine after that. Took it to the garage anyway and they charged me £35 just to have a look at it, even though they didn't find anything wrong.
Ho hum. At least it's working now.

Mine just cost me 1100 to replace the turbo
plus 88 for turbo pipe, plus 250 for a brake sensor, plus 150+ for a new servo pipe, plus I have to go and have a full service and oil change to ensure no further problems in 1000 miles (3 weeks).

Not great.

I've been up since half five, I saw Venus sparkling in the sky as I walked to work in the freezing wind, the sunlight was just starting to peek over the treetops down the avenue into town.
Sometimes I think that this is the perfect time of day: everyone else is asleep, the roads are quiet, my earphones fill me with peace and rhythm, birds are slowly waking and talking to each other about what they'll have for breakfast. As I sit at my desk and the sun comes up and shines off the wall opposite my window, I reflect on the reason why people do it: blind fucking desperation for money.

You can have items that are healthy and tasty (e.g. steamed corn on the cob)
But to make a full meal tasty, I think at least one thing has to be bad for you.

Although I can't talk, my tea from last night was pretty unhealthy. I'm having the same tonight, and the next 2 nights though. (It was cheap)

But corn on the cob's bland without lots of butter and black pepper
I just wish I could develop the ability to eat whatever I want and make other people fat.

You have a point there, shit.
Steamed is only the 3rd best way to cook it anyway.

depends how fresh it is
if you can get it within minutes of coming off the plant it is sweet and delicious with nothing added

I'm sure there are some fields round here that grow it
Will have to try this later in the year.

Of course, if you're a townie
you'll probably misjudge it and get a mouthful of bile.

I'm a townie =(

there is that
I had the advantage of having it grown by my mother, but I've snaffled it from fields before.

Soup is the food of the moment, lovely soup with noodles and stuff.

What's their soups like? There is one just 'round the corner from me.
I'm tempted.

tomorrow is the best one imho
it is a really thick chunky tomato minestrone stuffed full of pasta and veg with pesto on top. divine. AND even the massive-could-not-possibly-finish-it pot is only about 300 cals; the more normal sized one is about 180. marvellous. and i am stuck lunching with 2 barristers so will miss it..... i am not happy about this.......

every day they have 2 different soups, you can check out the menu on their website. my friend likes the smoky bacon and lentil and the meaty texan chipotle, but he is a wrongun.

Oh man, I didn't realise they did that. I'll try that other one tomo, I don't like the look of today's stuff though... I don't mind lentals but they hate me.
I might go Pauls today instead and if they got that awesome looking mushroom soup, then, well, Happy Days.

It's been a long time since I've had good soup
There's been plenty of OK stuff, but the last good soup I had was Hot & Sour at a place in Lanzarote.

I was surprised to find out
that the co-worker with a nice bottom mentioned yesterday has a mouth like a drain and a Thames Estuary accent. No bottom is worth that. Very disappointing.

Uxbridge is such a let-down.
