Parsnip

Troy Deeney.

I don't know how serious the link ever was but i remember reading about our interest in him (while Watford were still in the Championship) and I thought he would be the man to get us up. Sadly he was the man to get Watford up.

Nah beans are for kids!

Just add granary toast. 

Against my dietary religion ?

Sunday morning ritual of walking over to chicken lady's house to collect some fresh eggs (honesty box - suckers!), then making a Michelin fry up for me and my black pudding obsessed 2 year old girl.

Simple things innit?

All authentic doners should be preceded by eight pints of gassy lager, to give you that real crap feeling.

I'm on the wagon and I think that's the first time I've had a kebab sober. They're definitely better when pissed.

This is an authentic doner/chicken/steak kebab mix with underfried greasy floppy chips, a crap naan and a chilli & mint jùs.

Washed down with a warm diet coke.

Feel like crap now.

Mio fratello è figlio unico

@Lambchop If I had to guess which film you'd review on this thread, I would've guessed Mio fratello è figlio unico.

Or if not that then some other film depicting the post war political struggles in Italy through the experiences of a divided family.

Should never see the outside of a prison cell again.

Bit of a shame one of the other inmates hasn't bumped him off.

 

 

I don't think it quite fits the thread title?!

Thought the caveman era has been and gone

Not at all. The caveman era is thriving and I've honestly never looked and felt so healthy than when I've adhered to the teachings of these guys...

The main reason for last night's steak was my return to paleo - school holidays are over, no excuses... let the abs return.

I'm not normally one to Instagram my food but have I just made myself the most perfectly cooked piece of steak ever or what?

Never done it myself but I've read that other people have used various  social media outlets to name and shame them and it seems to prompt them into action. Gotta be at least worth a try. Nothing to lose if it doesn't work I suppose. 

Nah I'm going to picket the Chesterfield branch Westboro Church style... 

SCS sofas. Paid cash 2 years ago for a massive leather corner settee. After a few months the seams just started to fall apart. They eventually sent someone to sew them up (11 months into the 12 month warranty). A few weeks later the repaired seams just fell apart again. SCS said it must be a new problem and no longer a warranty issue.

Fortunately I also bought their 5 year insurance plan - went through that, claim accepted straight away... 6 months later... my claim is still with their 'solutions team' and they can't give me an estimate on how long it will take to resolve my problem.

I do not recommend SCS.

These are the same people who are into premium, but ultimately bland soulless crap like going on holiday to Dubai, Range Rovers and De Longhi coffee machines .

Wtf? I have a range rover AND a delonghi coffee machine! In my defense though Derby were in the Premiership when my Range Rover was born - under Jim Smith. I stand by the coffee macine though. It turns my beans in to coffee at the touch of a button and if it ever breaks down i'll happily pimp out the missus to buy another.

Anyway Dubai could be fun.

Ahhh as a kid I had the grey and black striped one and the blue checks. Love both those shirts.

Asked and got me money back and sat there watching the rest eating.

I've stopped caring about things like that. Half the time you go out for dinner - the food will be crap. Life's easier if you just accept it. I think of it as being a guest at someone's house and eating what you get given. Forget the money -.suck it up and tuck in. I like my steak bloody and blue, but if it comes crispy and crap, I'll still eat it - rather than make everyone else uncomfortable by abandoning your meal.

There's loads of things in life that you can apply that mindset to. Big boss David was on about junk mail a few days ago... just accept it - don't let it bother you - put it in the bin.

We'll all die one day you know.

Rucksack wearers

I see your Rucksack wearers and I raise you Baby Wearers. Parents who carry their babies in a 'Sling' which is basically a huge length of fabric which wraps the baby to their bodies.

Now I don't care how people choose to cart their kids around, none of my business, but what does annoy me is how superior these Sling Wearers think they are to other parents. They walk around the park with baby Hugo strapped "naturally" to their chests tutting at buggy users and feeling sorry for all the children that aren't getting the same level of spiritual bonding and closeness.

Hippies in Range Rover Sports.

Now Mrs Parsnip was a baby wearer. We had the slings, (I always carried the kids around in my arms because if I'd have tried to figure out how to wrap a sling i'd have broken necked kids) and the interesting thing is that I was actually the poster boy for a very popular (and ridiculously expensive) sling brand. Mrs Parsnip took a photo of me wearing a sling - sent it in to the company - and for the next 2 years if you went to their website, there was me and baby parsnip, homepage banner... 

Little did the website visitors know how much that good looking dad on the website hated them all.

Graham Coxon from Blur.

How did I not know that?!?! I was a blur fanatic in my younger days - still am really. I love that man!

I think i've got a bag of sweetcorn in the freezer. I'll have that tonight.

Took the missus out for a walk around Uttoxeter yesterday for her Birthday, wasn’t exactly dressed for the occasion 

OMG looks like she's dressed herself for a nice meal and drinks out somewhere or summat for her birthday rather than a rummage through the local tip!

Talk about high maintenance.

And there is the fundamental difference between a European beer drinker and a British one. 'That lot' would last me 3 days, not half an hour.

True dat. I'd have that lot away by 9, move on to something else, regret it terribly until approxinately 4pm the following day... and repeat.

• 1 bottle Gulden Draak (10.5%)

• 1 bottle Bornem Dubbel (7.2%)

• 1 bottle Piraat (10.5%)
• 1 bottle Piraat Triple Hop (10.5%)

I'd be crapping through the eye of a needle after that lot!

Hash Browns have no place in a full British Isles breakfast.

They were 16p each down from 22p each at the farm shop. The lady was trying to clear them, she said I should try them so I bought 4. 

Basically she had me for 84p. Bet she's sat at home now with a freshly purchased Cadburys Twirl laughing at me.

Wish I had a Twirl ?
