After all that rich indulgent excess, nice to just have a quick cheap faggot sandwich. One of the few great things in my childhood trips to my great Aunt's in Porthcawl was that we'd bring faggots home from the butchers and have them for tea in Birmingham on the Monday. Yeah that usually meant they'd been unrefridgerated for about 8 hours with all the visiting and travelling that went on Absolutely lovely they were, I can remember the taste of them even now, many years later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, in reality, fridges are a very new idea. I remember my dad smashing up the pantry to make room for our first fridge. We didn’t start buying bacon and sausages after we had the fridge. You just knew that if the bacon had some odd colours in it, you made sure you fried it crispy. Fridge fannies, that’s what people are today.

Pffft. We employ a small Filipino boy we employ purely to insult bags and other everyday household objects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandad had heart surgery today.. he's 91 and has recently been very poorly with a busted valve into his heart. My mom has been through a lot, culminating in her having to leave us in Oxford Natural history museum to get back because he collapsed in front of my aunt and my mom had all his paperwork. She had a call from him after 3 hours in surgery, wishing her a happy new year So he's still kicking, which is great, because of COVID, I've very rarely seen him over the last 2 years. Aaaaaaannnnnddddd he died. Cardiac arrest as a result of his new valve putting too much pressure on his other, leaky valves.
