HO Hum! spent the morning tidying up the flat whilst waiting for Mr Plumber man to come and fix the leaky bath. Jobs like that are not any fun doing yourself, unless you like potholing under a bath in a trough of water which is rapidly turning mouldy in the heat, and anyway the landlords paying for it. =20
He was the friendliest plumber I've ever met, and worked at high speed too. A credit to the working classes.

Exactly!
well you know how I get wound up with menus stating the bleeding obvious, but what other sort of cucumber raita is there? Hot cucumber raita? with dumplings and boiled carrots?
There we have another case of menus stating the bleeding obvious to appeal to nouveau riche proles who havent a clue about what happens when you mix yoghort with cucumber and mint! of course it's cool. =20
Like the other week, where we had someones menu sporting 'curry with corriander' oh yes, what a good idea! so much better than curries made with brown sauce and rabbit flavoured dog biscuits. nurr.
I'll tell you what it is - it's THE MAN trying to get THE KIDS on his side by trying to con them that they are being fed something special!!
Jo! Watch out! Your canteen has signs and portents of being in cahoots with the MAN!
The mushroom rice and mango and apricot chutney sounds like a hell of a chutney though. I normally just have chutney made with apricots.
Todays lunch for me is fishpaste and cucumber sandwiches with about half a pound of black pepper to make them taste interesting, and a peach yoghort.

yes but there is a large problem with museli and that is that people can't say it properly. What is it with people saying moooozley? They are obviously agents of THE MAN if they can't work out how to pronounce the name of a simple breakfast item.
secondly, museli tastes like nothing in particular. You could be chewing an old newspaper and you'd never notice the difference.
I think it's best to have something really fattening and cosmopolitan for breakfast like Croissants. Of course this is where we fall down again coz everyone has a problem saying quassanteys, croxianties whatever.

What I eat isnt mUESli, the alpen type capitalist health food snack eaten by agents of THE MAN. oh yes. mUSEli is actually a different thing alltogether and is eaten by THE KIDS. By changing the spelling to mUSELi we are THWARTING THE MAN. BUT! Is it really still muesli? Not telling baby! THE man must be thwarted at every turn by THE KIDS in order to not be able to carry out his plans to HASSLE THE KIDS. I will not say what museli is here - THE MAN might be listening, but it is a completely different thing to muesli altogether. Probably. By inventing thier own language THE KIDS are able to FOX THE MAN and CONFUSE THE MAN. These things are good.
OK Kids! I'm off to have a cup of coffe. HA! and THE MAN doesnt know what I'm talking about! Remember kids! DONT GET HASSLED BY THE MAN!

Subject: Top Tips
Is this list thing working then?
Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish temptation to nibble at
the
chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by not buying the
fucking
thing in the first place, you fat bastards.
Dyslexics. Try deliberately spelling words wrongly. This way
at
least you have a chance of spelling them correctly.
Bearded men can obtain the appearance of an upper class Arctic
explorer by simply applying Tippex to their beards, painting their
noses blue, and cutting off a couple of toes. It never fails to
impress the girls.
Give up smoking by sticking one cigarette from each new pack up
a
fat friend's arse, filter first, then replacing it in the box.
The
possibility of putting that one in your mouth will put you off
smoking any of them.
Pretend to be Welsh by putting coal dust behind your ears,
talking gibberish and singing all the time.
If a small child is choking on an ice cube, don't panic.
Simply
pour a jug of boiling water down its throat and hey presto!
The
blockage is almost instantly removed.
Avoid cutting yourself while clumsily slicing vegetables by
getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
Housewives: When nipping out to the shops, remember to carry a
stiff broom in the boot of your car. Use it to sweep the broken
glass
to the side of the road every time you have a minor accident.
Make people think you have an expensive car phone by calling
them, asking them to repeat everything they say and then hanging
up
half way through their reply.
Don't invite drug addicts round for a meal on boxing day. They
may find the offer of cold turkey embarrassing or offensive.
Keep the seat next to you on the train vacant by smiling and
nodding at people as they walk up the aisle.
Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The
following morning you can create the effects of a hangover by
drinking
a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head
repeatedly
on the wall.
Make bathtimes as much fun for kiddies as a visit to the
seaside
by pouring a bucket of sand, a bag of salt and a dog turd into
the
bath.
Make guests believe your home might be bugged by running your
hands under tables and inside lampshades, then turning the shower
on
every time you want to speak.
Increase blind people's electricity bills by switching all
their
lights on when their guide dog isn't looking.
Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your
own
home by filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles
of
bleach, then urinating into it, before jumping in.
Make your girlfriend cry when you're having sex by phoning her
up
and telling her.
Girls. Too old to go on an 18 to 30 holiday? Simply get
pissed,
lie in a sand pit in your garden and shag every bloke who looks at
you over the fence.
Bus drivers. Pretend you're an airline pilot by wedging your
accelerator pedal down with a heavy book, securing the
steering
wheel with some old rope, and then strolling back along the
bus
chatting casually to the passengers.
International master criminals. Tell your guards to shoot
James
Bond in the head at the first opportunity. Under no circumstances
give him a guided tour of your base, or leave him in the custody
of
attractive women in bikinis.
KING-sized Mars bars make ideal normal-sized Mars bars, for giants.
NORMAL-sized Mars bars make ideal king-sized Mars bars for dwarfs,
as
well as fun-sized ones for giants.
FUN-sized Mars Bars make ideal normal sized Mars Bars for midgets
PEOPLE whose surname is Toblerone should always take along an
empty 'Toblerone' chocolate box when attending interviews for
office
jobs. This would save your potential employer the expense of having
to
make a name plaque for your desk, and therefore increase your
chances
of getting the job.

I discovered a GRATE cheap/diet thing as well today - if I eat a slice of toast or 2 before i go to work I don't end up buying fattening croissants, sandwhiches or other things at about 10 oclock due to starvation. Of course this means I have to get up approximately 97 seconds earlier which is a shame.

I cunningly avoid that problem, because by the time I get up, it is usually closer to lunchtime than breakfast.

It's amazing the lengths people go to squeeze adverts on to the internet. I keep getting loads of junk mail which is a real pain in the ass (no offence intended, Neil).
