Am I?

I have seen loads of threads where OP makes a case but somewhere in the discussion, the whole issue collapses and other people take over and start talking about other stuff!

It's annoying especially if you have made an effort to say your views!!!C'mon nos, start your own thread.

ok, rant over, let's change the subject! LOL

Too fun. I'll have to see if we can save our pennies and go.

TrillianAstra · 25/01/2011 19:31

Lissie's spicy ricy very nicy sounds best - chorizo is yum (and it is red)

TrillianAstra · 25/01/2011 19:32

But how many red vegetables are there?

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 19:34

Just had a phone call from Himself. He had to get off the train at a station 40 minutes away because the loo on the train was locked and he could not find a conductor. So he had to get off the train and now he's at a tiny station in the arse end of nowhere and the next train is in 2 hours!

Why lock loos on trains? I don't get it.

Bloody stupid.

Sticking this rant on this thread because it seems like a good place Grin

Hullygully · 25/01/2011 19:35

It's not HER spicy damn ricey, it's mine wot she proposes to bastardize with nasty meat that no one can pronounce.

There are other veg too, they just all look red by the end. Perhaps they are blushing with shame.

Tolalola · 25/01/2011 19:36

Erm...tomatoes, peppers (both fruits, really), ruby chard

There are a few purplish ones...beets, kidney beans, 'red' cabbage

Hullygully · 25/01/2011 19:37

I had to make a tiny up hill train stop once so dd (then 3) could get off for a wee as she refused to wear a nappy. We went behind an old building (no loos) where she squatted and pronounced that she couldn't go, then we had to go back and get on the packed tourist train with eveyone gawping, most interested, and I spent the rest of the trip praying she wouldn't wee.

MmeLindt · 25/01/2011 19:37

Do they still do sleeper trains? I think I would like a posh Orient-Express style train, not sure about BR London to Scotland.

Hecate
They lock the loo? Why would they do that?

Will have a look at that thread, Chipping. Thanks.

TrillianAstra · 25/01/2011 19:39

Couldn't he hold it in Hecate?

Chorizo much much nicer than vegetarian sausage, sorry.

OracleInaCoracle · 25/01/2011 19:39

hully, i bastardize all recipes Grin they call me the recipe-killer!

hecate, thats shite!

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 19:40

I have no idea why they would do it.

Unless this is a Cunning Plan and Himself is, in fact, in a pub right now. Hmm

Me, supportive as ever, tutted Blush and said "well, you're just going to have to wait for the train, I've got Tesco coming."

Oh, no wonder he loves me so much Grin

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 19:41

Nah, Tril. He said he was about to wet himself.

So what's all this about spicy stuff and frey bentos pies? Confused

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 25/01/2011 19:43

Spicy ricey very nicey. I have drenched my phone with cheap wine Grin

Magna · 25/01/2011 19:46

Hecate - couldn't he just open the window and piss Grin

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 19:53
Grin

Actually, that reminds me of a funny story.

In my student activist days Grin I went down to London on a pissup demo. On the way back, one of the lads really REALLY needed a pee. So he did one in an empty bottle, then opened the little slidy window and poured it out.

Unfortunately for the lad behind him, who had his little slidey window open...

Magna · 25/01/2011 19:56

Brilliant Grin

Honeydragon · 25/01/2011 19:58

Yup glands... always bad in the winter for some reason Confused

Problem is its a two person job, and she won't let anyone but me hold the head end (since a nasty tick removal at the vet) and dh is too chicken to do the arse end ... despite me showing him how easy it is Grin. So that means taking her to the local robbing bastards who have the monopoly in my town vets Wink

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 19:58

yeah, I know. He didn't think so. Grin

This was the bus trip of The Milk. One lad - same lad maybe Hmm decided that he was really far too pissed and that he needed to line his stomach. so he drank a pint of milk.

It did not stay down long and it was not pretty...

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 19:59

I love the fact that there are about 14 totally seperate conversations going on on this thread. Fabulous. Grin

MmeLindt · 25/01/2011 20:04

Hecate
You need to kit him out with a empty bottle. As long as he does not pitch it out the window..

YY I remember that BeerTricksPotter. I loved those books.

In fact, I was chatting to our vet recently as she was cleaning out smelly gunk from our old dog's ear, and asked her if it was the worst part of her job, and she immediately said that squeezing anal glands was, without a doubt, the nastiest job that small animal vets have to do.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 20:10

What is actually in these glands? What comes out when you squeeze.

I am strangely fascinated and almost tempted to look it up on Youtube Grin

Mme - if my husband gets his cock out on a packed train he'll end up with a criminal record Grin

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 20:11

yup. it's on youtube.

I couldn't help myself.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 25/01/2011 20:11

erm. anal glands, not my husband's cock.
