^ Too my shame, I follow that cat on IG. His owners regularly update the page... he's a 'wobbly cat' born with cerebellar hypoplasia, so he's just an uncoordinated food destroyer. He's happy and affectionate... and yeah, that Scouse Meow...

Those are load bearing doors, at least one of them should be closed at all times

Well theory is that there was a partition that made a cupboard which was removed to make a larger room, but they didn't bother with making a new partition in the doorway and just left the door instead!fishfoodie wrote: Sun May 28, 2023 8:02 pm You've been wooshed !![]()

Shoppers increasingly being treated like thieves, first security tagged meat packets and now this... ( this is in a London Tesco )

I pay £28/kg for freshly roasted whole bean and consider that pretty premium pricing.
I pay £30/gram for powdered unicorn horn, and it doesn't make my humming bird tongue pate sandwich taste any better either..
I love watching little children running and screaming, playing hide and seek in the playground.
They don't know I'm using blanks..

“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
That's an odd take. Presumably the stuff is getting stolen, so why shouldn't they. I take it you lock your car and house, so should I be outraged at you treating everyone as thieves.tabascoboy wrote: Tue May 30, 2023 12:08 pm Shoppers increasingly being treated like thieves, first security tagged meat packets and now this...

To be fair you wouldn't want to attempt that at a real butcher's, not with the array of potential weaponry they have behind the counter...

Some years ago I was in Wong Kei and the two girls next to us tried to do a runner. The speed at which a dozen large Chinese gentlemen with kitchen implements appeared was quite impressive.tabascoboy wrote: Fri Jun 02, 2023 10:44 amTo be fair you wouldn't want to attempt that at a real butcher's, not with the array of potential weaponry they have behind the counter...

Yeah, all those lazy disabled Veterans, expecting society to support them after they're no longer useful to the Military; leeches !

I used to work with a young woman whose first name was Orla; I still remember the first day she called into a meeting with an Israeli team we were working with, & I distinctly heard a snigger when she introduced herself.C69 wrote: Fri Jun 02, 2023 6:14 pmOy veyDinsdale Piranha wrote: Fri Jun 02, 2023 5:12 pm
My doctor when I was young had the unfortunate name Dick Butcher.
As soon as the meeting ended, I got called by one of guys on the other end who was giggling like a schoolboy, & wanted to be sure that he'd heard her name correctly, because Orla is the Hebrew for foreskin, & it's spelt & pronounced exactly the same

She must have had the only Irish first name* that the they didn't struggle to look at & work out the pronunciation



^ although technically this isn't the Irish spelling, but an English phonetic one.

The Mohels who perform the ceremony do it as a charity. The don't get paid. They just collect tips.
