The grumpy thread

[bramz7]

I hate turkey too. When I was still living with my mum and brother she'd make a beef wellington from scratch every year. So much better.

We haven't bothered with any of the Christmas dinner stuff for the mat few years (we used to go to family before) and have had a bacon, eggs and breakfast stuff.

 

For a change this year though it's ham, egg and chips. Good ham and proper chips but none of that turkey crap.

[Kiltox]

Turkey is only dry and bland if you’re a shit cook.

[Louise2cv]

Out and proud! When it comes to cooking turkey at least! Which is all the more reason to stick to stuff like duck or beef.

I called another office at work today and they had the smooth Christmas or something radio station in the background.

 

Imagine Slade et al on repeat for eight hours a day until Christmas...

[cobblers]

Goose all the way. I don't mind turkey like but the Mrs does a cracking job with a goose, and the gravy is amazing.

[Bren]

Sprouts? I Wwould never,ever eat anything that makes your farts smell like you have advanced ebola.

[omegod]

I bloody love sprouts, fried with a bit of bacon and chilli. I managed 27 of the buggers last xmas day, waste not want not but by Christ I was toxic later on

Went to fit my winter wheels and managed to shear a bolt, ended up having to weld a bolt on to remove the sheared bolt, I never managed to get the wheels fitted.

FFS.  Trying to attach some pics to an email.  There are eight I want to attach; it's accepted six, most of them after several attempts.  I've spent at least an hour trying to attach the last two and it keeps saying "unable to attach."  Fucking nuisance.

Or put them in a .zip and just send that. If the file is an OK size anyway.

SODDING WINDOWS. Have been wondering if my utterly shit broadband speed was related to the telegraph pole replacement project currently taking over our village. Nope. Up pops a 'when would you like to reboot?' window. PISS OFF! I absolutely hate that you cannot turn updates off, you can't pause a download (which you don't know is happening) and you can't personally smash your elbow into the face of whichever utter pillock gave all this the go-ahead.

 

Is it time to dust off Linux again?

I recently bought a new laptop for use in conjunction with my studies, largely because Windows would make it easier to use the Uni's VPN and VLE, and all my other computers are too old and shit to run modern Windows.

 

I expected to hate it and I do. The amount of things that I've had to resort to what is effectively hacking to achieve is ludicrous. I have yet to find a way to stop it from auto updating, and I've given up trying.

 

It's an excellent laptop, mind. The second my course finishes its getting wiped and Linux, just like all its predecessors.

Then if they want big versions send them later.

Renault.   Lights.    May well not have been his fault......

I have this argument every year with people who claim they like Brussels sprouts. I’ll get them to repeat the statement 3 times, and often commit it to paper in blood. Then I ask them the last time they ate them.

 

 

Deafening silence.

I like Brussels sprouts, they're great roasted and I last ate some a few weeks ago.

[alf892]

I love sprouts.

 

I even trained my daughter to like them when she was little.

She was a proper Daddy's girl and when first eating solids she used to like to have bits and pieces off my plate.

 

I wouldn't let her have sprouts......told her she wasn't big enough.

 

Eventually I let her have some and she loved them.......till she had been at school a while. Kids talk.

 

She is back on them now ...........though at 26 she still remembers

[Louise2cv]

Ooooo yeah! roasted! I forgot about roasting them. 

[vulgalour]

Sprouts and chestnuts.  Omnomnom

[Snipes]

I hate sprouts. I’ve learned to like cabbage and mushrooms but still hate sprouts.

I charged up the p38 battery last weekend. It was full according to my noco charger. Go out this morning and just a clunk when turning the key.

 

Just put a voltmeter across the terminals and it's showing 11.8 v.

 

I guess that's a nakered battery then! Annoyingly, I was given a beefier battery but the terminals are the wrong way around and the leads won't stretch!
