Alright?

Alright.
I've done shitloads of cleaning today, so I feel justified in vegging in front of the TV all night.

Did you have fun in IKEA?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 17 Dec 2011, 18:02, Reply)

Yup, I got
A double and single draw waldrobe, a chest of draws, and a unit for my telly to go in. It's gonna be fucking well lush.

Seriously, the flat is not quite "Leave your husbond who you've been in love with for years, been by your side through thick and thin, creating an amazing story that could be chronicaled in a book" good, but it's deffo " 'ave a think about an affair" good.

That's definitely worth knowing ; )
What did you decide about the kitchen?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 17 Dec 2011, 18:07, Reply)

Yup, budgets are quite limited, but not quite as limited as it was a week ago when we thought we'd be forking out £1600 for waldrobes.
So what we're doing is.
- Taking all the tiles off the wall and using kitchen-paint, which is limited in colour, so simply an off-white of some kind.
- Painting all the doors, I'm thinking duckegg blue.
- Replacing the work surfice, we're going for laminate because it doesn't need oiling. I've seen the surface I want, it looks like blocks of wood in differenet colours.
- New fridge/freezer, new washing machine, new dishwasher, new cooker/grill/hob (electric)... I'm going to try and get an induction hob in lu of getting gas which is what I would prefer. Fan Assisted, 100%.
- New pots/pans/utensles/knives and new cutlery/plates/bowls/etc that I already picked up.

Sounds good.
I do like nice clean lines in a kitchen. Ours is too fussy and overcrowded. And small. We can just about both stand in it together, but not move around each other.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 17 Dec 2011, 18:20, Reply)

Yeah', mine is a one-chef-only kitchen deffo, which is fine for me on my lonesome.

My tiny dad's just punched a smack head who tried to mug him.
Then he offered the other two smackheads a slap as well.

I doubt we'll see him for Chrimbo as he'll be driving round in his Accord with my new supermodel stepmother.

This is all of the ace.
Is this the same man who was too scared to get out of his car and come and meet me?

Hope he's okay. Sounds like he's been taking lessons from Darth.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 17 Dec 2011, 18:32, Reply)

Yeah! He said he was scared so that's why he did it.
Good job you didn't approach the car...

That's some proper hard core.
I saw this "Desperate Scousewives" yesterday on the telly, my gosh, liverpudlians are FIT.

I'm 41 today.
My missus is ill, and stated that as she can't really breathe I won't be getting a birthday blowjob later. However, she did offer to cough on my cock...

Who says romance is dead?

Oh mate, rince that while you can, that coughing with the menthal nightnurse is something totally different. You don't get a flemmy blowjob every day of the week.

Hahaha.
We were supposed to be going for a curry, but the restaurant was fully booked so we're going for an Italian instead.

I'm already a bit pissed as I've been to watch the match. I suspect tomorrow will be a non starter.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Sat 17 Dec 2011, 18:50, Reply)

I'm a bit funny about eating out at italian food, I always enjoy it, but most of the time I think I can make it so well at home and something I make so often at home....
.... that I figure it's a bit like someone going out for oven chips, nuggets and microwaved baked beens, if that makes sense.

Tonight I'm having
- Potato Rosty
- £4 ribeye steak*
- Some diana sauce*
- Balsamic roasted carrots and beatroot*

* they had them on the end-of-day cheapness in Markies.

We're going to try the curry tomorrow night instead.
Our local Indian is fantastic. I can't compare it to Tayyabs because I've never been, but Clendrix, Labs, Wooks and Badger have been before and were impressed. So that's got to be an endorsement.

Niiiice
I really need to go to a curry with someone who knows what they're talking about, every curry I get just tastes of meat in coconut a thick soup.

I had a chilli chicken mossala the last time.
It was bloody lovely but my arse hated me the next day.

Do you really get enjoyment over something so hot?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sat 17 Dec 2011, 19:08, Reply)

The taste is fantastic.
In that you could actually taste the meat and spices rather than just heat, unlike a lot of really spicy food. Unfortunately the after effects are a bit like a Mr Whippy ice cream, only not white.

It's a fantastic city.
Probably my favourite in the whole UK. Cosmopolitan yet compact and stunning architecture. I could happily live there I think. Have you tried looking on employment agency websites?

I agree.

The following scene played out this afternoon, in a shop with about 20 square feet of floor space.
CUSTOMER: I'll have 250g of [coffee type A]
Assistant fills it out and seals up a bag full (1-2 mins).
ASSISTANT: Is that everything?
CUSTOMER: Actually, I'll have 125g of [coffee type B] as well.
Assistant fills it out and seals up a bag full.
ASSISTANT: Is that everything?
CUSTOMER: No, I'll have 125g of [coffee type C].
Assistant fills it out and seals up a bag. A queue is building up.
ASSISTANT: Is that everything?
CUSTOMER: Thinking about it, I'd quite like 125g of [coffee type D] too.
Assistant fills it out and seals up a bag.
ASSISTANT: Is that everything?
Assistant fills it out and seals up a bag.
CUSTOMER: Erm... 125g of [coffee type E].
Assistant fills it out and seals up a bag. By this point, the queue is covering most of the shop.
ASSISTANT: Is that everything?
CUSTOMER: Yes.

Normally I'm quite calm, but I was close to losing my temper after being stood behind that customer for nearly 15 minutes.

Reminds me of the "anders" I encountered so often during my time behind bars...
Waiting until a drink is prepared and on the bar before adding
Ander pint of larger...
Ander gin an tonic...
"ice and lemon sir?"
I don't know...
"that's ok, I'll put some in a separate glass for you, should you ever find out"
Etc.
As if decent bar staff can't remember a round of a dozen drinks...
The worst were the butt-monkeys who would wait until the end of a round to order the pint of Guinness.
