Someone at my friend's local recently was injured in a bike accident
They were knocked off by a car, when they were going 20-30mph. No serious injuries, but he was extremely sore, and couldn't do too much, due to having a very bad back. He'd missed 5 weeks of work due to it, and as a result wasn't doing too well with money.

When the landlord found out about this, he had a quick whip round in the pub, and also had a word with a few of those who can cook. Within a day or two, they'd knocked up weeks worth of food for him, chillis, curry sauces, marinades, pasta sauces, anything that won't take much preparation at all. From what I've heard, he cried when he saw this, as he'd been on cup-a-soups for the last week, and was starting to get thoroughly worried about money.

A few days later, his boss, having heard about this, came round to see him. He offered him a new job. Same money, same hours, but in a different position, so he was able to recover without having to earn nothing. Hearing that story the other night made me smile rather a lot.

Well, there's also this as a nice example. If I can think that's sweet, there's hope for all the other massive cunts in the world! (except TGB)

Alt Q: Apple, or Rhubarb. And RSwipe, you are wrong. Custard is magnificent.

Not to worry, I've seen the light
Rswipe also doesn't like gravy on yorkshire puddings. She no longer has any say in the matter.

Not as good as beef, roasties and gravy
Or, subsititute the beef and roasties for sausages.

gravy makes it go soggy, urgh.

You mean you don't know the joy of dipping crusty bread, thickly-buttered, into delicious soup
and swallowing its juicy, salty, slippery goodness?

So do I, Monty.
I raise it in pleasure.
I did it last night with some scouse that my mum made, but I only had a sliver of crusty bread (a cob actually) with Lurpak light, and it's not the same.

It was raised at
'swallowing its juicy, salty, slippery goodness', not the 'dipping bread in soup' bit.

Exactly! You put (ideally) beef in the bottom, a roastie on top of that, then a little gravy. NOM.
