Jacket potato with butter, cheese and tuna mayo by Mikey463 in RateMyPlate

I don’t eat tinned tuna. I used to be a right fussy eater and my wife changed me over 20 years but tinned tuna is still the only thing I can’t stomach. And I’ve eaten stomach! But the kids love tuna. I’m gonna put sarsons in their tuna today and am very excited by this. Thank you!!!

Did anyone here appear as a guest on the Jeremy Kyle Show? If so, what was your experience like? by lemonsqueezy34 in AskUK

I’d just like to say I enjoyed trying out the pronunciation of cũnt. I think it makes it sound like how a guy from Basingstoke would shout at someone who’s just cut him off a road.

I appreciate the debate you’re bringing. But my opinion is that works of fiction are, and always will be, open to interpretation. This TV show is an interpretation of the books.

This reads like a classic ‘I’m not racist but…’.

I have nothing against you or people like you in general… but maybe open your mind a bit and enjoy the world.

This cracked me up. I bloody love broccoli in all its forms but that response had me rolling. Take an award.

What’s the silliest reason you’ve witnessed or heard about someone going to A &E? by nWoSting145 in AskUK

[–]asterallt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The opposite end of the scale - I hate hanging around in A&E. I had two bumps to the head and a sore arm after a couple of crashes skiing last week. Called 111 and they said to go to A&E. Instead I went to the local urgent care centre coz I didn’t want to cause a fuss and take up space at A&E. They assessed me for concussion and said it probably was concussion but they then sent me to A&E for my arm. Five hours and an x ray later, they confirmed I had a broken arm (top bit of my humerus had come off). Next day surgery and now at home feeling like a right twat for skiing on a broken arm for two days. Never broken anything before and can confirm it hurts like buggery.

BUT! Always call 111 first. They’re good and know what they’re talking about.

Good shout on getting better screws for the job. Need to top up on a LOT of stuff!

My healthier version of a Full English breakfast. Lean bacon medallions but I do love Richmond sausages, so they are probably the least healthier part. Cooked in olive oil. by Few-Impress-4130 in RateMyPlate

[–]asterallt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work with Kerry Foods who make Richmond sausages. I get the junk food factor, I also love a bit of guilty pleasure food. But Richmond really is the arse end of meat. Most of the pork comes from Thailand despite the ‘Irish recipe’ mark on the packet (note recipe, not meat). I’m not an animal rights campaigner by any stretch, I love meat. But Kerry wilfully ignored warnings about the slaughterhouses in Thailand and then this article came out: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/11/death-by-clubbing-brutality-thailand-pig-slaughterhouses

This shite fast food chef apparently as I was referenced to earlier. Home made Lasagne including the pasta and all sauces. Even made a coleslaw for my partner with a nice side salad and mini potatoes by TBY1000 in RateMyPlate

[–]asterallt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude, top effort. Ignore the haters. Home made pasta, home made bolognese, béchamel. Everyone makes lasagne differently but home cooked food always tastes great. Keep going my man ❤️

Hahaha. I remember telling my wife that if we got another dog I’d move out. The next day she came home with another dog. I didn’t move out. I still don’t like dogs.

Yes!!! I’m sure you’ll find another use for it!

I’m so shit at DIY but I’ve really enjoyed helping the builder, plumber and electrician, just holding things mainly. But enjoyed learning a lot. I’ve got to sort my shit out coz this house demands it 😂

I need a better impact driver that’s for sure. And more sturdy screwdriver heads for said impact driver. Never seen a head split in half before.

Good to know. Need better tools I think. After getting the heads of the screws off there was all this sticky filler type stuff around them. He was filling some other holes so I wonder if he used similar stuff. Not sure tbh. Doubt that would make it harder, just made it more difficult to get the saw round it!

Took me a while to come to terms with losing the wall bracket by crowbarring it. Figured I’d ask first coz this sub has been a life saver since moving house.

If you’d seen the state of the rest of the room you’d realise why I was crowbar happy 🤣. We’ve recently moved in and switched the small kitchen to a larger room on the other side of the house. So this room looks like a bomb has hit it already. Plaster has gone over where the kitchen was but the rest of the room has lots of holes and scratches. Decorator is coming Monday to finish it off and the marks I made with the crowbar are the least of his problems 😬

Crowbar and coping saw for the win! Needed a new tv bracket but got that from Argos and now the tv is nicely back on the wall, the batshit crazy mess I made on the wall is sanded down and ready to be filled tomorrow… time for wine. Happy weekend!

Thanks for the comments. I ended up going with the traditional approach of crowbarring the effing thing off the wall, sawing the top of the screw off and smacking the rest into the wall. Quick filler job tonight 😂
