Pretty sure most animals can't distinguish colour the same way we do, just like they can't read the labels 😉Quote:

Gimme a break.
Was walking down the street yesterday and some guy collapses and starts having some sort of seizure. Was closest to him so made sure that he wasn't in danger of stopping breathing, someone else phoned an ambulance and another person went into a local office to get a first aider.
Amazing how many people walked on by and even one person with a pram audibly grumbling that they couldn't get by with their pram. The chap had stopped shaking at that point but it was clear that something was up and even though the three of us had it under control, that person sums up a lot that is wrong with people.
Few years back I was on my way to the shop and there was a old man lying on the ground and wasn't moving, I called an ambulance and waited til it got there, few days later I'm in the shop and the owner tells me the old guy has been in and he is doing okQuote:

Where did this happen? My son was involved in helping someone in a similar situation.Quote:

Bacon that curls up when you put it under the grill.
Cut the fat and sinew off it.Quote:

Dry cured bacon will lessen the curling up.
Most supermarket bacon is wet cured/brined, it's all that excess moisture dripping out that plays a part in inducing the curling. One of those products were paying a bit more is definitely worth it.
You can also put a couple of snips in the rind using a decent knife or a pair of scissors. That stops the pulling together and curling as well.
Yeah the scissors trick used to work but not with the current Tesco bacon. Too wet!Quote:

The absolute state of some public conveniences.
I don't know if it's pïss poor maintenance, lack of cleaning or just the fact we're all manky gits when away from our homes, but the condition of some toilets gives me the boak!
It used to be the case that WC's "abroad" were something to be joked & ridiculed about, but over the last few months when I've had the urge to "go" around Edinburgh and ended up walking out quicker than I went in.
From folk missing the toilet and somehow leaving fecal matter on the seat to those who've successfully dropped the kids off at the pool but failed to flush (usually a distinct lack of toilet paper use too).
Like most per peeves here, I'm taking umbrage at the laziness and ignorance of others.
Edited to slightly change my phrasing. It read as if I was cruising around the city's conveniences 😳

It's the liquid that's injected into the meat to make it plumper or wet cure it, same with some chicken. Don't get it with dry cured as PB saidQuote:
