I hope that in the unlikely event that anyone exists who cares for you, that they find you and are forced to clean up the mess left by your gruesome death.

I don't like baked beans. A friend made me beans on toast for breakfast after I'd stayed over.
I felt it would have been rude to refuse and so I ate it. That I have manners is scant comfort in the face of the extreme and long lasting PTSD they have inflicted.

I didn't like Coffee but in Japan I was given a cup of coffee and thought I would drink it to be polite and found I loved it
When I got back to Blighty I went out and bought a jar of coffee and discovered it was just as fucking shit as I remembered. What I actually discovered is I had been given shit coffee my whole life. Freshly ground or fuck off.

meatsnake poster had a "mega breakfast" yesterday, although it was more of a west london yummy mummy deli than a greasy spoon, if we're being accurate here
2 sausages, 4 rashers of bacon, black pudding, 3 hash browns, 2 pieces of toast, a mountain of fried mushrooms, 2 fried eggs and baked beans.
i had a diet coke and retched silently at pretty much everything on his plate. then went to my friend's house and had quiche and houmous like a real person.

Jumbo sausage, 2 bacon, 2 black pudding, bubble, fried egg, fried slice, mushrooms, beans, big mug of tea (and technically 2 toast but I never got it as they were hella busy).
