Sunday night tv. Utter garbage!
Along with the other 6 nights of the week, bar the odd programme.Quote:

Aye. West Brom V Leicester was fine at the weekend. Leicester played in all blue whilst WBA played in blue and white stripes with a solid blue back panel.Quote:

Utter, utter dross, yet the 'stars' get to kick about as though they're important.
Also, the increasing evidence of stupidity being a virtue to be rewarded. There's a girl who's constantly on viral videos with her boyfriend showing her up as an idiot.
They get loads of views and will get a fair whack of cash for it, and I doubt it's even real, but imagine making your money for being a thick ****?!

First, you go to one screen and search for your product. Secondly, you are asked to think of a memorable word. Thirdly, you find another screen where you pay...after telling it your memorable word. Thirdly, you have to find the correct type of till where you hand over your receipt and wait on your product.
All this and I didn’t even get to see the bloody thing before I purchased it. Turns out it’s cheap crap and will probably last about a week before it breaks ☹️

I said to her I'd nip to the local shop for her and get her some lunch if she wanted something. She asked for two egg mayo rolls and I was going to get myself some lentil soup as I've got an absolute howler of a cold just now and fancied some good old lentil to help shift the cold.
So I order everything with the wifey at the counter which is as follows:
2 x White Egg Mayo rolls
2 x Lenti soup (one cup is never enough and two roughly equate to the size of a normal can)
4 x brown rolls - 2 for me today and 2 for tomorrow's bacon rolls at breakfast.
All this comes to a grand total of £9.86!! I mean come on. It was £4.98 for the two egg mayo rolls alone! Thats scandalous and the Mrs couldn't believe it! I wont be back, thats for sure. For a local shop the prices are a disgrace
Folk that try and pull off the snide move of checking when a bus is due but you know they are just trying to get on the bus before people that have been standing there longer
That sounds awfully similar to my local shop. Is it a Nisa one?Quote:

It's odd when you bump into a 'celeb'. Because you feel you 'know' them, you subconsciously think that they should know you too. I remember years ago I walked past Onion in Hanover Street and said 'Hi John'. To his credit (and to my delight at the time) he said 'Hi' back.Quote:

Utilise - any left-over veg, stuff that's on reduction in the supermarket or just stuff you prefer. Colour is a good guide - carrots, butternut squash and yellow and red bell peppers go well with red lentils or yellow split peas. Spinach, kale, cabbage and broccoli go with the green lentils or split peas. The potatoes mentioned earlier help thicken soup but I tend not to bother, unless I've got some needing used up.
Make the soup with the dry goods, type depending on what veg you've got. Make a big batch and decant it into the containers and freeze either single portions or doubles, you judge what the portion is.
Then you're all set. You've got healthy lunches on tap, full of protein, vitamins and minerals. Once you're doing it you're spending a lot less than shop-bought and you're almost certainly using less salt and sugar so it's healthier. Plus you're in control of the taste, so if you want to pump it up with chilli or with ginger or whatever, it's in your control.
And there's something very, very satisfying about making a big pot of soup and then being able to grab one out the freezer :greengrin
Amen brother! I have been making lentil and adding a jar of passata at the end. Canny get my yellow spilt peas soft though, soaked for 24hrs and they were like bullets😐Quote:

With the YSPs you shouldn't need to soak them. My experience is that greens take a little bit longer than yellows, but if you chuck them in with your stock, onion, spices, aromats then it should only take 30-60 minutes, bringing to the boil then simmering. Probably closer to the 60 than the 30 but worth keeping an eye on so they don't become mush. Saying that, if you're like me you blend them anyway so it doesn't really matter! :greengrin
Slight shift away from 'Pet Peeves', maybe worth starting a cookery and recipes thread in the Dug-Out?
I handed my car into the dealer to get a windscreen replacement after a nasty stone chip and they said a few recall fixes needed to be done. It would take a few days to order and replace the windscreen so no big deal. I get a loaner then a couple of days later I drive away for the weekend in our other car with the wife. I check my GPS tracker online and notice that some **** took my car for a 20 mile 'test drive' (joyride) and reached speeds well above the speed limits. Then I notice two days later that some other **** for a 35 mile 'test drive' (joyride) which took over an hour. I won't be home to pick up the car till next Tuesday so I am fully expecting to see more 'test drives'.
I can't call up and complain because it will alert them to my hidden GPS and prevent me recording evidence of further abuse.
Utter f****** c****.
I wonder how long they take economy vehicles for test drives?

That side of it is a bit ridiculous but it's worked out beautifully this year with the current events at Twickenham. I don't care about rugby but Irishmen celebrating a grand slam there on St Patrick's day gets a big thumbsup from me... assuming I haven't just jinxed it :greengrinQuote:

Another revamp that really didn't need to happen.
I just watched the last 10 mins of the ep that just finished with the hot wings and I concur, he's a dick.Quote:

A Place in the Sun - We 'only' have a budget of £400K, we'll view a few houses then show interest in one 'only' £50K over budget. Must assume a smug persona at all times.

Tears when we pretend to be surprised family and friends will miss us are standard. Again smug persona required and the ability to patronise anyone who doesn't assume jetting across the world is the answer to all their problems.
Cash In the Attic - Come look around our detached 4 bedroom house in Kent. Apparently we desperately need to flog some of the many antiques in said house to raise £600 for a birthday party.
The Sheriffs Are Coming - Guys who seem to take great pleasure in seizing peoples assets. Must make it clear what you have done will 'teach them a lesson'.
Doctors - For when even Emmerdale or Casualty won't touch you as an actor.
Homes Under the Hammer - I'm rich and can afford to buy a property at auction, spend a whack more doing it up then 'acheive a yield of between 10 and 12%'. Everyone look at how great I am, I even done a bit painting myself. Must include a few shots of said dickhead running his hands across a surface and engaging in hillarious banter with Dion Dublin.

I get that some (possibly lots of) people like exploring new tricks / gimmicks / layouts etc... , but the very last thing I want to be doing is wasting time watching their stupid wee videos or googling to find out where they've hidden something, or what they've renamed it, or how to use something that worked absolutely fine before. :grr:Quote:
