I hope the soap-dodger said thank you.

I knew a fella with dreads at university, they earned him the nickname "Vermin".

Bloke at work brought in a sweet and sour chicken dish he cooked in the slow cooker. It was stringy meat in strawberry jam by the time he'd finished raping it in there.
That dish should take no more than about 15mins in a pan. Not ****ing 7hrs.
Same bloke is doing another dish today, this time prawns in a chinese garlic sauce. PRAWNS.

By the way, these were already cooked king prawns. He then said he marinated them. Marinated already cooked prawns? :?
He's had the c**** in the slow cooker for about 6hrs

****ing helmet

Was going to say. I'm a fan of slow cookers for stoos and casseroles, but fish and seafood? What's the point of that? It has to be cooked and eaten in situ to be enjoyed properly.

:lol: Do you ever smile at work? Do you ever talk to staff beneath you in a non-condescending tone? If you do then you're not doing it right.

There's also the crossing where the button no longer lights up so everyone thinks you are some lemon that hasn't pressed the button yet. I always smirk as they hit the button several times and then realise.
