Daily Moan

Yesterday got the older van re-licensed. It had to go for a vehicle inspection as it is above a certain age.
This morning I noticed it only has one brake light:-)

[Kurgen]

Bye bye all day hangover, thank you Dr Haze

Expand, please.

A few cans of Thatchers Haze cider works wonders

Yesterday Utorrent was a bit slow downloading a movie. All of a sudden it started downloading at 1Mb.
It was feeding from my visiting son's mobile across the desk.

I think I'm losing it.
The maid asked me to pick up some hair dye the colour "yellow' for her while I was at Tesco.
At the display area all the dyes, at least 20 of them, were labelled 'colour cream'.
I thought why isn't there any 'colour blonde'?
It wasn't until I picked one up that I realised that 'colour cream' referred to the product and not the colour of the dye.

^if you've got a maid...Why didn't you ask the butler to go and get it for her?

[Maanaam]

Here we go.....
I started cooking our Xmas steamed pudding. Fiji fusion recipe with coconut cream caramel, California raisins...(no sixpences) delish.
Wifey comes in and casually reminds me of my dentist appointment tomorrow (25th). WTF? I never knew about that.
So, a bit of a let down that I'll have to go off to the hospital for an hour tomorrow when I should be drinking and cooking. Never mind.
Go out for a ciggie, come back just in time to hear a "CRACK" as my steamer burst it's bottom in a shower of molten aluminium on to the gas burner.

Gotta keep that water level up when steaming!

[Latindancer]

Consider yourself very lucky, dude ! Same happened to me once.

Was yakking to a friend and forgot to put in water.

Took pot off stove and whole bottom fell off, together with molten aluminium, narrowly missing a foot.

If it had hit me, I would have needed skin grafts in a big way.

[Maanaam]

The main problem right now is that the bottom (or top, however you want to look at it), is actually burnt.
I did the pud in a stainless bowl rather than a cloth...and the heat from the gas melting the steamer bottom was enough to burn the pud.
Wifey says slice the top off, decorate with fruit and whipped cream. Not traditional, but I think she's on to a winner.

wow, lucky (well not, but lucky you weren't hurt)....must have been just at the moment before it collapsed on the stove.

[Latindancer]

I had bare feet, too. I shudder to think back on it...

Had to replace the entire kitchen lino as a result.

That's good enough for my moan today.

[GracelessFawn]

Had to attend a tribal wedding yesterday. I was one of the sponsors (ninang), so attendance was a must, unless I found a proxy which was somewhat impossible around this time of the year. It rained the night before the wedding which was a bummer because the 2 kilometer trail with all its mud and puddles could only be accessed by foot! My poor feet is bruised and swollen...



Explored this river with my faithful dog Whiskey. Soaked my muddy toes for a few minutes, and my frustration seemed to have disappeared. Well, at least for a bit.

Then was moaning again on return trip. My poor feet!

No hab!

My father told me the medication they give him for his blood problem makes him tired and listless. The last thing he really needs is something that makes him tired. At 90 he can do that on his own.

Grand neice complains to great grandmother that big uncle Troy simply doesn't understand. Apparently little girls are allowed to be naughty...expected to be and it is only my job to protect them from imminent danger.

Beds are only beds at night, during the day they are springboards.

One should be proud that little 4yr old can download games and play them rather than telling them off for pinching the phone.

Why do I always get lumbered with looking after other people's kids.

^ How was I to know she filled her beaker up with full moon? No wonder she was quiet, watching the tv this afternoon.

[Neverna]

Whoever invented non non-stick pans should be shot. Bastards.

Dinner: disaster. bastard.

Steak, off. Binned it. Fresh "dried" fish, stinky and tasted awful. Binned it. Shallow fried chips. Oil too shallow. Burnt chips, burnt pan. Bastard. Cheese sandwich. Boring. Fook.

Roll on tomorrow.

[Chittychangchang]

Daft sheep who blindly get up a silly of clock on Boxing day to buy the same crap that the shops couldn't sell before Xmas, thinking they're getting a bargain. Clogging up the roads and wasting oxygen, knob jockeys

I thought my burnt Xmas pud and melted steamer were a disaster....your calamities take the cake.
Commiserations.

I suppose I could moan that the old German guy we invited turned his nose up at the roast lamb. But then, all the more for me, so I swallowed any hint of being hurt (I really did think we were doing something special for him and hoped he would enjoy). He's not a vege but he didn't touch the roast chicken either. But he did like the salad (with German pickled beetroot) and my (daughter's) famous potato salad. And he came bearing a bottle of JW Red. Nice gesture, and he's a tea-totaller.

Lamb sandwiches for lunch today

Jesus fuk they been banging on with funerals and weddings and ceremonies around my house for 3 days now. Between the loudspeakers, street concerts, salas, firecrackers, temple monks, its driving me CRAZY.

Started at 6 AM & didn't stop until 2 AM last night. THEN AGAIN at 6 AM this morning.

Bass, cowbell drum, Isaan flute @ 10,000 decibels.

Gawd dayum.

Or Ukrainians buying their Xmas gifts cheaper?

That might be a subtle for some.

Many Orthodox Christian churches in Ukraine observe the Christmas Day date from the Julian calendar, which is different from the more commonly used Gregorian calendar.
So, while Christmas is still on December 25 in the Julian calendar, it appears on January 7 in the Gregorian calendar, up until 2100.

I thought for next year as a resolution I would start getting up at 6.30am bright and early with the birds.

Then I realized that at 6.30 is about the time while dreaming that I am just about to get laid!

[Kurgen]

Fucking power outs.....BASTARDS!
