It looks and sniffs ok unless my senses have been damaged due to alcohol abuse..

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 14:25

I'd use it, I reckon they're 'best before' not 'use by' dates. I've used all kinds of things after the dates had expired ( not necessarily advising this in my professional capacity ).

Enjoy your egg butty.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 14:25

Fwoaaar that was cockin' lush that was...washed down with Ribena..thamks lovelies x

So I wonder how many people will be flocking to dating websites due to a) new years resolutions to not stay single and b) not having anyone to snog at midnight last night. It'll be interesting to see.

I've already been winked at by someone attractive.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 14:30

I have come to the conclusion Bant that if it has a fanny and wears a skirt you find it attractive (joke)...

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 14:31

You're clearly catnip, Banta.

There's definitely increased traffic on GS & MA at the moment, although I'm not overly impressed thus far.

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 14:38

Especially with the paramedic who, and I paraphrase, likes 'socialising, reading, and loves his job SAVING LIVES. I'm looking for a special lady, to make feel special, when I'm not SAVING LIVES. I'd make myself a bacon butty but I have to go out and SAVE LIVES. Did I mention that I SAVE LIVES ? '

I'm tempted to message back and ask if he's ever saved anyone's life.

Ooh ooh I know about this. There is an air sac inside of eggs. As the air becomes less fresh, the sac gets bigger. To test this, fill up a large bowl with water and carefully lower an egg into it. If it lies on its side on the bottom, it is completely fresh. If it stands on its end and kind of bobs a little it is not quite so fresh. You can still eat it but probably best to cook it thoroughly and it won't work for something like poaching properly. If it floats right to the top, this is caused by the sac being bigger and the egg is not safe to eat.

Wallison · 01/01/2013 14:43

"air" becomes less fresh? I meant the egg become less fresh.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 14:43

he can try to save mine then by making me another egg butty cos i feel like i am dying right now.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 14:45

ill have a go with the rest of them then wallison. x

VelvetSpoon · 01/01/2013 14:46

I am having slight 2nd date panic and cannot think what to wear.

I am also too lazy to go to the shops in the next hour and buy anything new.

It's a bit of a dilemma!

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 14:46

I'll mention it to him ' egg butty, stat'

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 14:47

Where are you going out to Velvet ?

VelvetSpoon · 01/01/2013 14:49

Only to the pub.

I could do with some black skinny jeans. I wore my blue ones last time.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 14:50

erm blue skinnies different top?(shit advice, soz)

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 14:57

Blue skinnies, different top, fabulous shoes, sexy but casual.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 15:01

ow think I might have pulled a muscle while pretending to hump that post last night oooh me crotch

Wallison · 01/01/2013 15:03

Oh and Happy New Year, thread. Lovely to hear such great news from Western and Velvet - way to start the year with a bang, eh?

Have decided not to see Shagman again. Feel a bit of a heel but I just don't think we are compatible, and now that I've got my groove back I quite fancy sowing some wild oats. Although, like I said logistically speaking don't know how that will work out but where there's a will there's a way. He is a nice bloke though so I hope we can stay friends (he has a lot of women friends so hopefully yes).

Had a bit of a weird fb conversation with an old mate yesterday evening on fb before I went out - we were chatting on a status update and then he pm'd me so we chatted for a bit there and he turned the conversation round to years (and I mean YEARS) ago when we had a bit of a 'thing' going on. Said that he had been serious about me and had hoped that things would go further than they did (it just sort of fizzled out in the natural course of things). I sent a message back saying something along the lines of weren't we daft young things at the time etc and then he messaged back saying yes and he wasn't sure even now how to play relationships. Then I left it because I felt uncomfortable and also had to go and get ready to go out.

Now. He is married and has two kids. I don't know if he was just trying to wrap things up and draw a line under things. Maybe it was just because we never said anything to each other at the time. But, I think it's very 'off' to send messages like that to someone when you're married and if I was his wife I wouldn't be happy about him talking to an ex in that way. Maybe he was just getting maudlin but it's not appropriate, right? I kind-of feel that I should remove him but like I say he's an old friend and it was genuinely nice to bump into him again on-line and I have enjoyed hearing all about his kids and how we've both settled down and become respectable (we were both pretty debauched when we knew each other back in the day - not in a fucked-up way or anything; we just used to have fun). Sorry that's a bit me-me-me and maybe I'm reading too much into it.

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 15:05

You are in the wars, aren't you ? Packet of frozen peas, wrapped in a tea towel pressed against the area and take a couple of ibuprofen.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 15:06

sounds a bit dodge Wallison, in fairness.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 15:08

Serves me right tho Arse I am bloody 41 after all should know better really..seemed like a good idea at the time ...oh no pub was packed with locals too ....arrrrggghh

MsArsebiscuit · 01/01/2013 15:09

No, Wallison, I would have read it the same way. I'd give him a wide berth and if he mentions anything again say that although you have fond memories of him, it's not something you want to talk about.

ike1 · 01/01/2013 15:10

....think I might have done sexy dancing with some of the barmaids too....oh please let that be all...

Wallison · 01/01/2013 15:11

The locals were probably drunk too and I'm sure most of them have done silly things on NYE before now. And if they haven't then they bloody well should have done! Sounds like you had an excellent night out and if anyone looks askance at it then sod 'em.
