what grinds your gears

[Chae1]

I’m often a bit too English in these situations - politeness gets in the way of pragmatism. God bless the OH for knocking the job on the head.

If she hadn’t, I’d probably be sitting across the table from him still... nodding sagely at his endless waffle.

Did you take him back to train!?

 

[Gerbert]

What type of hands would you expect a girl to have?

I didn't see she was female until after.
Nevermind, it just made me chuckle.

 

[smcapstick]

Did you take him back to train!?

My MIL did. He didn't even thank her!

What a prat. Should have dumped him in middle of nowhere.

Delay in getting the camera out but this chap was,t very far above my head, buildings,animals etc. He could easily have avoided us, second time today.

I'd warn the MOD I've taken up drone flying as a hobby and if one of their aircraft hit my drone, I'll demand full compensation for loss of my drone and the damage they do recovering their aircraft from my property!

It was more being cheated out of sleep that was annoying not the act itself

I've got a good mate of mine, a grafter and very successful; Every Sunday morning - - religiously - - he would be brought tea in bed and by his adoring wife. They also had two terriers which got along together - mostly. Every Sunday morning as he drank his tea, the terriers would inveigle their way in, and they always ended up under the bead covers with him.
Now my mate can fart - never EVER have I heard anything like them, the best are ferocious. He'd certainly make any county team, possibly the nationals. Anyway, he laid there one morning, a dog either side of him, he raised his knees and let rip. The dogs obviously and each thought that it was the other, and a mother of a fight ensued, around and over his nadgers. His wife, hearing his screams, rushed up the stairs and saved not only her marriage but his undercarriage.
I didn't feel that I could enquire in to the precise details, but I understood that the injuries received were a while healing.

What is something like that worth nowadays

What is something like that worth nowadays

That's a very personal question!

 

[AF Salers]

I am sure @smcapstick would take less for cash!

Take less what?

Not money, surely?

 

[bovrill]

I can only pay with a cheeky smile and a cheerful song.
Can we work out a deal?

 

[Nearly]

Mrs Nearly has discovered a new ingredient to annoy me with. As well as curry powder, she now has haloumi. Some kind of expanding foam passing itself off as cheese. WHY?
Not only does it grind my gears but it sets my teeth on edge and gives me toothache on the worn ones.

I'm waiting for curried haloumi to appear on the dinner plate and then I'll know I'm really in the doghouse. Ironically the meat based soft lumps that the dog has are looking pretty good at the moment. Nom nom.

Heathen!

Halloumi on a slice of toasted ciabatta with tapenade and balsamic vinegar is wonderful!

 

[simmy_bull]

Or grilled/fried hallumi. It’s good stuff.

Still agree with you about the curry though.

I discovered Grilled Halloumi when I went to Nandos a few weeks ago. Interesting, not amazing but not awful either

 

[bovrill]

I tried some once.
It squeaked.
I've not felt the urge to try it again.

Great, saves me trying it

Green curry tonight. If I die in my sleep tonight then I ask you to let plod know that it may not have been natural causes.
