^ 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... :lol:

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!

Builders smell. That's why I don't have much to do with them.

If it was London I'd guess it was their way of making it a 2 bedroom flat

Those are bloody INSTANT coffees FFS - which vary from shit to _really_ shit.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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 :grin:

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

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

I have attended a Briss (circumcision ceremony)

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