Happy New Year to you all I went to bed at 11pm last night so totally missed all the drunken hilarity (if there was any?) had to get up early this morning to make a few power supplies etc. (apparantly there were a few fatal stabbings in London?)
Probably my first "almost alcohol free" New Year's eve in a long time and it was great waking up on New Years Day at 7am without a hangover!
Wasn't much of a "day".... pretty grim outside / overcast and wet so I enjoyed spending most of it out in the workshop..... drove into town in the afternoon for a look and, lo and behold, the Co-op was open so I popped in for a look. Managed to get some co-op "irresistable" cooked turkey (butter basted / sea salt) for 14 pence (it was £3.50 a packet) so I forked out 28 pence (pulled out the stops) and went for two packets.... £7 worth of cooked turkey for 28 pence..... so turkey sandwiches for me later on this evening.
I'm not really a cream cake eater but they had £2 cream cakes on offer for 12 pence so I bought two packets (two cream cakes in each packet)...... 24 pence for 4 x cream cakes. There was loads of other stuff reduced, such as "chicken massaman parcels" (god knows what they are) for 25 pence (from £5) but I didn't bother with them.
52 pence for £11 worth of stuff was pretty good going...... no point buying "chicken Massaman Parcels" if you don't need them
Jesus Christ, back in the day, my Dad was always saying "I could murder a steak pie"...... that's proper "old school" food"! WTF is a chicken massaman parcel? or a "chicken Yakitori"?...... sound like the type of stuff ponces eat!
"ooooh, one could murder a chicken Massaman parcel with some crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil, maybe a glass of chateauneuf du pape to accompany it"
Where have all the MEN gone? They murdered a steak pie and a pint of bitter back in the day!
A drizzle of olive oil? NO wonder this country has gone to the dogs..... most of the men have turned into nancy boys..... "olive oil"??! Sniffing glasses of wine for hints of vanilla, honey, grapes, meadows, strawberries etc. etc..... what the hell?
Real men ate pies and drank bitter (and had a fag for pudding if they were lucky)...... can you imagine the "Chicken Massaman" brigade in a WW1 trench?
"ooh I have an issue with this, I don't think these trenches meet health and safety standards"
I mean..... REALLY..... no wonder this country has gone to the dogs when native men have been PC forced to curtail their opinions and act like women..... there's no going back either.
Real MEN are a thing of the past in the UK...... they are all too frightened to say what they think out loud.
On that happy and positive note I wish you all the best for the New Year
Mike.
