Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 5

scrambled is like hot chips or baked beans in that you are wasting it if you don’t have a few slices of bread with it

 

[Gough]

I have scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and chives on my Sunday morning cooked breakfast rotation alongside fry ups and croissants.

 

[Cruyff14]

I despise scrambled eggs. Always just tasted like rubber to me.

Looks like you need to learn how to cook mate!

You're doing it/having them wrong then?

smoked salmon

I miss the old greasy spoons in the UK, we had one near where I lived in London and you could get a great fry up feed for 5 quid.

You got two fat bangers, bacon and a generous serve of scrambled eggs and baked beans with toast, the coffee was awful though.

You probably wouldn't miss it if you knew what was going on in the back of some of those places. My mate lived above his uncle's cafe. In the morning it would be a greasy spoon, at lunchtime it turned into a chippy. They would leave the cooked bacon, sausages and even fried eggs on trays in the kitchen, covered but not refrigerated, until the next day. They weren't open Sundays so Saturday morning's breakfasts were reheated on Monday.

 

[Gough]

There was a chippy in Slough that doubled as an adult book shop out the back. I bought a South African guy I worked with a black blow up doll there which we all signed as a farewell gift to him, I should have guessed someone with the surname Steyn who called pre 94 the good old days might not have seen the funny side of it. We all had a good laugh though and the f***ing Afrikaans have no sense of humour anyway.

I don't think this one was that bad and it was open on Sundays as that was usually when we went there when we were hungover.

It certainly wasn't fancy but you couldn't expect it to be for the price of their breakfasts compared to the other more fancy cafes.

We bought one of our Kiwi flatmates in London a blow up sheep for a Christmas present, he at least saw the funny side of it.

Scrambled eggs make me think of the day after the night before parties.

Makes me think of Jake the Muss.

That's a strange combination!

One time in Florida I went into a place that was a pawn shop at the front and a gun range at the back. For $30 they lent me a Glock 9mm and let me fire off a few rounds at a target. It's harder that it looks on the telly. I was so bad the instructor said he would check the sights. He fired two shots through the same hole!

People mistreating animals man...

I had a new foster come in on Sunday, on literally 45 minutes notice. One of those rubbish situations with an owner - "we need to get her while we can, rather than risk something happening while we sort out a foster carer."

The establishment of a connection with animals comes very naturally to me, so I have very little experience with dogs that don't want anything to do with me. But this little girl is terrified. She's scared of me, she's scared of sudden movements, she's scared of her own shadow. And unlike the last foster, who tried desperately hard to be brave, this dog was on the cusp of being completely shut down on Sunday.

She's still super shut down, but we're making progress. She's eating. She's pooping. She's sleeping. She's getting better with my dog, which is good - and my dog is just the perfect mentor with frightened dogs, she knows to let them take it at her own pace. She might be ready to take food from me by the weekend.

I just know the situations that some dogs have come from, and they've not been shut down like this dog. I shudder to think what she's seen.

I don't know what's wrong with them ..

Is it really a trade week if there's no trades, doesn't that make it a normal week?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Trade 'week' SUCKS

 

[Quivorir]

Agreed. In a chat with some North supporters and this of year is all trade bullshit. Trade eon is hell for me as I don't give a shit about anything thats not on the actual field. Can't stand all the crying about media speculation and all the other shit that comes with it.

 

[burge13]

All the trades have been agreed, they just pad it out over a week for media. It's ridiculous and manufactured nonsense

Which nobody has to pay any attention to at all.. yet they do.

I pay attention to players nominating a club. Once that's done it's final 99% of the time, no use caring what happens in between

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I don't read or listen to any of it. I get a nice surprise when the new players pop up on the website.

Gives the whole footy media a chance to talk themselves which is something they always gratefully embrace.
