Okay this is a real question, I did some googling but I can't really find an answer - how popular is chocolate+peanut butter stuff in the UK? I never hear about it really, usually it's caramel chocolate or wafers+chocolate or something else. A guy from Manchester that I worked with for years had never tried a reeses in his life which seemed insane

I've never had anything reeses either. I just think they are not very popular because brits think American chocolate is poo poo.

One of the lads in my team at work crashed his car this morning. I went out to make sure he was OK and he phoned our boss...

First question, "Are you still working the late?"
Second question, "when do you think you'll be online"
Third question "are you alright?"

Legit baffles me that management prioritise who's working the late shift over someone's wellbeing.

Which brings me to my next question. Anyone want to work the late?

I know a guy who crashed his car on the motorway. Was taken to the A and E on a spinal board, given the all clear then got up and started his shift.

After a good poke, prod and a very small amount of chicken violation, I no longer believe she is egg bound. This is good, shes eating, drinking and pooping so she will spend the night in the kitchen porch.

She died.

I may just be getting old but I seem to remember a thread years ago about whether pissing in the shower is acceptable & some goon admitted to making GBS threads in the shower & mushing it down the plug hole with his foot.

Long story short, I agree.

I believe that is the origin of the term, waffle stomper.

If you are just sweeping up from a smoothish patio a yard brush may be too stiff. Get a medium industrial brush or something.

That sounds lovely. How was it?.. I think I may cook adobo this week now you've mentioned rice.

It was my best effort yet. Cooked the rice first slightly underdone and put it in the fridge to dry and cool. Marinaded the pork in a recipe I found online.

Warmed some star anise and szechuan peppercorns in vegetable oil in the wok. Removed them blasted some scrambled eggs, then cooked the pork (I was left over cooked pork so just warm3d it through) added spring onions, peas and carrots and then finally the cooled rice and then the egg back in. Dressed with toasted sesame oil.
