Poncy restaurants which insist on serving food on anything other than functioning plates (slates, boards, etc.) and ration accompanying sauces to little more than a smear or a dribble.

Your best bet Osem is to make your own restaurant type meals at home and there you are in charge and can do things to your own liking.

That's exactly what I do when I'm feeling creative (and hungry...). I love cooking and doing it at home saves a fortune too. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Too right! You know what went into the food and if you're counting calories, like us, you can keep them low as well.

My Moan: Late payers, as usual: Making the excuse that they only do accounting runs at the end of the month. Not so good when you put your 14 day invoice in on the first. :mad:

I wonder if that works with the utlities. :scratch:

They probably get preferential terms unlike us proles. :(

Duncan hates gardening too dilli, whereas I find it quite relaxing don't get me wrong I do cheat as I plan to lay artificial grass in our back garden and get a nice water feature as I'm fed up with the dull mono bloc and flower beds we have at the moment.

My moan today is impatience on the road, today I had someone sitting so close to me that when I looked in the rear view mirror I would have sworn they were sitting in the back of my car. I was stuck behind a car and the car in front was behind a tractor then the idiot behind me overtook myself and the car in front as well as the tractor posing a risk to all of us IMO don't get me wrong I'm not a slow driver but common sense tells you this is dangerous.

Not paying attention... just bought a new hoover at Argos and looked on my receipt to find that I had also paid for 2x Supersoakers and 3x Spongebob bubble machines.

First moan of the new thread for me. I have impacted ear wax and can't hear anything out of my right ear at all :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Have you tried anything from your chemist yet for it MG?.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not yet, going to try and get hold of some olive oil ear drops tomorrow

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Have you tried Earol Olive Oil Spray, I have used this and what I like about it is there is no mess, no dropper and no cotton wool. MadGamer you can get this from Boots or most chemists.
When I had a build up of ear wax, I spoke to the pharmacist and this is what she recommended for me, hopefully you will get something for it tomorrow.

Earlier in the year my companies owner had a stroke, when he was fit to travel him & his wife charted a plane (I've heard this was around £50,000) to his home in India.

Last month his wife came back and sold his car, and then the rumours that she was looking at selling up started.

Well on Thursday we all got a letter stating that within the 12 months the company will be formally put up for sale following a period of consultation, amalgamation, cost reduction and restructuring, (in my book that is cut staff, but be are at low levels anyway).

So on Tuesday there is a meeting planned.

Met office web site: It's always been a bit slow, particularly on the pages where you can look at the rainfall and cloud cover for the past few hours. Since they revamped the look it has become utterly glacial. Basically unusable.

Perhaps they need to take a few processors away from the forecast machine and give them to the servers. What's the point of a good forecast if nobody can access it?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Lost all tv and broadband so I will miss the German game tonight:mad:

I can't watch it on my mobile with unlimited data as I'm on T-Mobile and the signal strength is scraper than crap.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good luck David, tough times ahead, hope things turn out ok for you

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hom3r I hope things get better for you soon.

After spending a fortune at M and Ds Scotland theme park on Sunday a friend of mine said I could have saved 20% of the ticket price if I had used a code from the visit Scotland website Arhhh I hate when that happens.
