Incidental Musings on nothing much

Years ago I worked at the Sainsbury's on DKH and they changed the name of "virtually fat free" milk to "skimmed" milk.

This crazy woman absolutely refused to believe it was the same product with a new label. She got really aggressive and started poking me in the chest and caling me a liar.

Was that you Lou? (We're talking 1996 here).

Don't know why Otta but that has reminded me of a lovely, usually rational, pretty sensible friend who turned into a bridezilla from hell at one of her dress fittings.

She insisted that the bridesmaid's dresses were a teensy tiny ever-so-slightly different hue (not colour, not even shade) than the belts that were supposed to match them. Had the mother of all meltdowns with the seamstress right in the middle of the shop, whilst the rest of us looked on in sheer horror as we tried to reassure her - in vain - that the colours were exactly the same.

Hurmmmm....

Bought antique mirror. Bought a metal cupboard

Considering under counter fridge freezer options, it's tedious beyond belief

Is there a standard ratio when eating nuts and raisins? Only just started eating this combination foodstuff (replaces my Crunchie as a mid afternoon pick me up) and not sure I have it right. Currently I?m more loaded with nuts than raisins on any given handful. 1 raison and approx. 4 nuts is the mix I?m at. Is this about right?

[Salsaboy]

Are they shop bought pre-mixed or home mixed?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Shop bought and already mixed Salsa. What has been happening is a favouring of the nuts. Left with a bag of raisins. Needs a mind shift to have nut and raisin. Small steps though.

Mix your own at home. You can sort your own proportions then. I like to mix it up with a bit of dried mango.

I apologise in advance for my answer.

Basically, you've reminded me about the basic principles of sedimentology (yawn). The bigger grains will settle out first. It's all due to the shape, size, sphericity and sorting. Sadly, its not just a simple case of increasing your quota of raising to balance it out. Do you like prunes by any chance HMB?

It's the exact opposite of this chap's problem:

Just background-listening to 'Choral Evensong' on R3 (Kerrang! reception too patchy atm) and the (I think) Apostles' Creed "He descended into hell. The third day he arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven."

That's some wrong fecking turn!

With a house getting rolled in East Dulwich every few days, Neighbourhood Watch is a good concept but it surely now needs updating and a serious rebrand. Those faded yellow and blue signs and cartoons of curtain twitching pensioners wont be scaring anyone anytime soon.

[Salsaboy]

Yeah, we need a vigilante group forming.

Sitting in the garden, warm sunshine, nice cuppa tea, watching the blue tits on the nut feeder. It lifts and brightens my soul.

My colleague complained about 'danger in the workplace' after she caught the sun on her arms

We were sat in the park working for the afternoon

I'm intent on 'more danger' (and coffee) today

Have just inadvertently eaten a Jaffa cake upside down. Instead of soft sponge on the tongue and rich dark chocolate loveliness on the palate everything was inverted and it seemed momentarily that a terrifying new world had emerged in which the natural order of things was lost and that life itself was balanced precariously on the very edge of a deep pit of chaos and despair.

Then I thought to myself 'Oh well, at least the orangey bit stayed in the middle' and a sense of perspective returned.

[Muley]

Oh reflection, maybe that should have gone in the irrational rage thread.

[steveo]

Was there an issue of choco flakes down the waistcoat?

[Muley]

*pauses to reflect upon the ramifications of over hasty posting*

[Muley]

Eh? Ah, no. I think its a given that your Jaffa cake is best consumed whole in one gulp, thus avoiding any rogue crumbs. Or is that just me being a greedy sod?

Here's one idea for enjoying jaffa cakes in this wonderfully unseasonal weather:
