Don't want to pile on to someone who made a bad mistake, but it really was dumb. It is genuine as the RNLI have posted the same video This was the numpty in question 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I can vouch for the plight of Xann and other Londoners. I’ve been doing Forest Hill / Earl’s Court / Watford and sometimes the trains and tubes are so bad I have to wait up to 10 minutes for another one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2020 A nice big juicy orange. You get peeling, put the effort in. Get it peeled. Pull off a segment and dig in. Bitter as **** What a let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Sainsbury's. For the past 2 years they have permanently had Skyr yogurt on 'special offer' - either the small tubs £1.25 or the big ones £2.25. Alternating offer. Take your pick. Now they have done away with the big tubs, only sell the little ones and it's £1.90. It was my go to pop up in there before work supermarket quick fix snack. Now what am I supposed to do. Drive to Tesco's? Ain't no-one got time for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) This does remind me of a blind spot I've had with the GF recently though. You know one of those things that seems utterly stupid to most people, but you've managed to miss it your whole life. The other night I asked her to chuck me an orange. We haven't had them in the house for a while. She did, but asked "how are you going to eat it?" I was confused. "What do you mean?" "How are you going to eat that?!" "What do you mean 'how am I going to eat it?'? How everybody would eat an orange!" "Don't you need a knife?" "Eh? I'm just going to peel it an eat it" "With what?" "Huh? With my hands" "but you can't" "Why?" "You can't peel that orange?" "What are you talking about?!" This went on for longer than I'd like to admit. Turns outshe didn't think you could peel big oranges. Only the small ones like satsumas were peelable. She thought big oranges you had to cut into segments (like half time oranges) and that they weren't naturally segmented like the smaller ones. I remain utterly dumbfounded by this Edited February 10, 2020 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears do taste quite nice, but they seem to have an edibility window of about ten nanoseconds between 'rock hard' and 'brown mush'. I really can't be arsed with fruit at all.

Xela Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Oranges - too much effort for too little reward. Pears and Bananas have a very small edible shelf life for me to eat. For no nonsense mobile low effort fruit then it is the humble apple that is king. Pink lady version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
