big scary monsters
Sep 2, 2011

-~Skullwave~-
All you married/child having folk bragging about your cooking for two or more and being able to share chores and tax relief is very upsetting to me, a person living alone. Every fresh food purchase is a balance between paying the small portion premium and having half of it go off before I can use it. :(

e: December 1927, The United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Iraq sign a Treaty of
Alliance and Amity, an agreement upheld to this very day.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

That happened to me :( (Kind of, when I was 6 I said I wanted to leave home because they wouldn't change my name to Mary so my mum packed my bag and my dad drove me round asking where I wanted to be dropped off).

My mum did tell me I'd never be pretty but I was about 13 then.

There's a small crumpled note next to the dog. It reads;

My favourite is the 50g bag of Mini Cheddars whose nutritional values on the front are listed for a 25g portion.

It's all redundant anyway, because one portion is always 'the entire bag/pack'.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
Just remembered something about the whole Andy Burnham controversy: as Health Secretary, Burnham brought in a rule that the NHS would always be the preferred bidder in tenders. In February 2010, NHS trade unions actually asked Burnham to restart the tender after the last NHS bidder dropped out, and he refused.

The NHS is hosed. :smith:

Foodchat: I walk past M&S on my way home and buy whatever looks tasty and expires that day so it's really cheap and generally better quality than other supermarkets. Also posh people never buy discounted stuff so there's always something decent going.
