Dear God, I am being tortured on an unprecedented scale (lighthearted)

I am sitting out in my garden, and can smell fish and chips with mushy peas.
Who would want to taunt me like that?
My household is shielding, so I can't get them....

Oooh sorry OP, I think that may have been us! Are you in the south west?

TheHighestSardine · 02/07/2020 23:42

Ahhh bit late now but check your local chippies, I bet at least one of them delivers! We're doing that on Saturday.

Evil neighbours! The scent of fish and chips with salt and vinegar is heavenly.
Thankfully two chippies in my town now deliver, but the best one in town doesn't and has only just reopened. We are shielding so can't get any from there.

Ooh I've missed fish and chips. They were doing BBQs round here like they were going out of fashion when it was hot last week.

Although not half as annoying as the twat neighbour who sits in the garden whistling from 6am

Not food but my NDN plays music (loud) and I sometimes hear a song I like but of course I have no clue what it is ( I don't have Shazam, DD does)

So I have to call DS to see if he can identify it or call to DD to see if she can stick her photo out the window .

( I need to get Shazam myself )

DS tuts at me as he tells me the song (I am too old fogey to know )

I have even phoned my DD in a shop and said "Listen to this song what is it" Blush

@mineofuselessinformation
funny that...I went out earlier and could smell chips with salt n vinegar.
Whoever is taunting you (or me) may their testicles shrivel to walnuts/their tits droop to their knees the bastards

@70isaLimitNotaTarget

You could type a line of the song into google whilst you're listening to it. That's what my mum does and it always works!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 03/07/2020 23:50

Bobbie do you think I can make out a line of lyrics in these modern songs ? Grin

Last one was Cheap Thrills -Sia ...... I knew I liked it but no way could I have deciphered it ! Grin

Call them, pound to a penny they'll deliver.

I'll take you up on that, I've never known a fish and chip shop do delivery unless it's of the '20 portions to an office' type arrangement and the places that would are usually general takeaways that sell a range of other food like pizza, kebabs etc and not the proper fish and chip shop version.

OP, do you have a friend or relative who could bring some round for you over the weekend? Although I am jealous of you having garden sitting suitable weather. It's been cold, wet and windy most days round here.

Realise it's a bit late, but do you have a Covid mutual aid group where you are? As well as shopping/picking up prescriptions, ours picks up and delivers fish and chips to people who are shielding Grin

Oh, fair enough. Our local one does. A proper upmarket one 😄

@BarbaraofSeville one of our chippies has delivered for years, £15 minimum delivery so not mega expensive either. The new place has started deliveries too any they deliver by electric bike.
