hi I went to get a new pan yesterday. I had one in mind but when I got to the shop it didn’t look so great. After 40 minutes of deliberating I bought the biggest frying pan I could find, with some kind of ‘indestructable’ or ‘infinite’ or ‘ultimate’ boast on it. It doesn’t fit the hob. So much stuff in my life is not fitting together. I’m in a bad mood all the time. Nothing is going well. Does anyone else on here subscribe to the idea that you're all just metaphorical representations of different aspects of my personality and psychology? I think Lazy might represent one of the parts of me that I drink to repress. No offence Lazy, if you're actually real after all. |

There's 6 folk off in my work with Covid. You may have heard of it. Fucks sake. I now have a tickly throat. Not at all psychosomatic. Lefty-lawyer-lies. Boris fixed covid, just like the way he fixed Britain by bravely leading us out of the EUSSR. |

On Saturday night the fluorescent light in our kitchen gave up and started sporadically strobing and flickering. Since it was too late to sort a replacement and the local electrical shop was closed on Sunday I spent Sunday evening cooking in semi-darkness by the light above the gas cooker and the intermittent glow of the halogen oven.
This morning I braved the aforementioned Trade Shop (Open to the Public) jostlied among trades people buying all kinds of exotic paraphernalia, MCDs, RCDs, RCBOs , dual voltage flange sprockets , MCCBs, wi-fi controlled fused switched spurs, etc - girded my loins and in as manly a manner as I could muster, ordered a T8 5ft 53W soft white fluorescent tube.
Incredibly the guy behind the counter did not respond with "You what, mate?" or ask any awkward questions beyond "Is that all? That'll be 2.99 mate"
Beaming brightly I returned triumphantly with said tube and replaced the faulty item.
Dear reader, it works.

The cumbersome frying pan could easily be a symbol representing your deep-seated anxieties about whether it is actually ever really possible to give people fries with *that*.

This hob. It’s a big hob - a standard sized hob. It does work by induction …
We can bring water to boil in three minutes. But we can’t fry a mighty pan of mushrooms.

I'd never even considered the possibility that any chatterboxer* might not be able to change a lightbulb before.
* excluding Kane and GWX.
Edit: And Chumbles for health and balance reasons. I presume before he was ill he would have been mostly competent at changing bulbs.

Also:
Our dishwasher - at the end of the cycle - tends to make a clanking noise, two or three times. I don’t think it always does it. It sounds as if the spray arm is maybe hitting some big pans, but it stops pretty quickly so it can’t be that.
I feel at odds with the flat…

Did you check your starter fuse, unless you have the one with the fuse built in. The trick I learned is to take the fuse out then put it back in and turned it so it locked in place then turned the light on. In other words I turned it off then on again! I bet you went to the bloke near Church street tram stop, he knows his stuff in there. FYI Montego's café has gone, sad day. After 43 years boss said he'd had enough especially with the constant rise in business rates. |

Have you considered boiled mushrooms? My sister does that. Have I mentioned it? You could deep fry the mushrooms in the ordinary saucepan? Shengui or our Scottish brethren can advise on the optimum method of improvised deep frying. |

After 43 years boss said he'd had enough especially with the constant rise in business rates. I did check the starter. On previous occasions I hadn't known whether it was the starter or the tube that failed. As a result I bought both. Since invariably it had been the tube that failed I have accumulated a number of starters. Nope, not Church St. TLC Electrical off Lower Addiscombe Road as it is in easy walking distance. |

You all knew that already though I hope,  "Yours for £99,999.99 the modern home, fully electric and voice activated", such as "oy put the light on cheers" and other things to shout at your missus". "Here at honest Harrys we aim to please"! FYI - (honest Harrys electrical will be closed for refurbishment and a long holiday in the Bahamas). |

For Shenguin, I may have a few tears but I put that down to the alcohol. Spoilers for the all of Buffy. |

Did someone ask for a review of pork scratchings a while back. I've just eaten a packet of Boss Hoggs Black Country with a pint of Worthington. Packet says they are from Blackpool. Tast porky and salty with both soft and hard crunchy texture. 4* . If I'm confused and no one did ask for pork crackling review please ignore this post.
