it was crap
the meat was tough and dry, we had salad and baked potato because that's what my roommate wanted.
But it's okay, I had a proper roast at my mums yesterday with potatoes and carrots and celery and it was awesome.

yeah, she used a packet :(
but it was still, way fucking better than mine
the roommate was pushing me to cook it on saturday and we didn't have seasoning, and she was all "just use water in a pan" and it came out exactly how I thought it would

I've never liked the stuff, raw or cooked

it takes more calories to burn than are actually in it

It isn't really true of celery either

I got really pissed off with an article in the Evening Standard
which was stating, as if it were fact, that house prices in London will rise by 30% in 5 years.

chances are, if they keep harping on about it, and other media do as well
then they will be right.

cunts.
