It's not 'Send', it's the 'Culture Cup', stupid.

First topic message reminder :

Getting noshed off a tramp

Hectic, but good nonetheless, had a unofficial house warming which was nice.

Back in Leeds today, so may actually get stuff done.

Knackered from Warks Winter Tennis League Mens Doubles final yesterday. Lost 7 sets to 1 but at least my partner and I won the one set. And given that the opposition are Summer League Div 1, my partner is Div 2 and I'm Div 4, I'm actually very happy with getting that set. Played really well.

Glad to hear it. Happy Days!

Afternoon, Shah.

No dinner, overrunning meeting, 0/10

How much did it overrun by

About an hour...

By that point canteen had stopped serving, and I may as well wait until home

Damn. Should have ordered from just eat. My meeting is on Thursday so will probably be looking for work elsewhere after this.

You don't think it is going your way?

It is much easier to negotiate with a plan B.

I think that there's too much politicking going on for anything to happen. I'm also not directly employed by the people at this site so my own employer could scupper it even though the client wants to change it. My company is different the facilities management company is different and there's the client. So too many cooks. No plan B as of yet but working away at the LinkedIn profile so hopefully a plan B will materialise sometime soon.

True.

Barley is for drinking not for frolicking?

Gutentag Notches

All good in the hoods?

Morning mate all good here, you well?

Yeah mate, just a ton of unannounced visitors, panic stations as the excellence awards are due soon. Mega bonus apparently, the sales guy who won it three years in a row bought houses and cars three years in a row.

If I sit at my desk at home for an hour and a half in my dressing gown and do no work whatsoever, is that a sign that I'm bored by my job?

I think it's a sign that you're winning at life. I had to get dressed and stand on a train before coming to work and sit at my desk and do no work whatsoever.

Yup I have to go to work twice a day for that privilege Jules.

Parathas and lamb curry 10/10

Gutentag Notches

Frozen to the fecking bone. All good in the very cold hoods?

Had to look up what a paratha was...

Not too cold here, was Baltic yesterday though.

All good here mate.

It's fecking good, and with curries divine. But even better with Kahdi

Warms me up just thinking about it.

Yeah it was sunny here yesterday which took the edge off it but today it's grey and it's like a winter's day in the south pole.

Will have a gander at that mate, you dug out my mint sauce recipe yet?

Sunny here, hailstones yesterday.

Last chance to move my crap out of my old place today as well, so hope the weather stays nice.

I've got an incomplete ingredient list but no instructions, ironically the bit on the paper with the recipe was destroyed by ketchup sauce. F*ck you Heinz.

Lime - half - squeezed
Mint - 1 teaspoon
Ketchup - two table spoons
Yoghurt - the base - about two to two and a half cups
Chilli powder - half a teaspoon
Paprika - half a teaspoon
Tomato puree - 2 table spoons
Worcester sauce - couple of shakes
Salt - to taste
A teaspoon of full fat milk to thicken it up a bit

All slow stirred in on simmering heat in a saucepan.

Cool I will give it a go, and report back.

I am hungry this morning, may have to go get an FEB.

a green chilli - chopped up

ShahenshahG wrote:a green chilli - chopped up

Tempting, but I will go for the breakfast instead.

Haha just remember to remove the chilli pieces from the sauce afterwards

I will strain thoroughly...

You might want to save that for after you've had it

Fair point mate, but I look forward to giving this a go, I didn't even know a teaspoon of mint was a thing.

A teaspoon of colman's mint?

mint sauce? Or dried mint?

Mint sauce apparently, I've got a cheap version which saves costs by leaving out the word sauce.

Mint, mate.

the pastry was cold - the other stuff was barely adequate

The soup today is carrot and sweet potato... 1/10

That's not a soup really is it? That's just a hot smoothie

Pretty much, I prefer dead things in my soup.

Tino and mushroom soup?

Why not, Chicken and Rowley (not Rowley)

And risk both avian and swine flu?! Don't be silly

Waiter there is a superfly in my soup.

Don't shout about it, otherwise everyone will want one.

Since working over in Kaunas for a week, I seem to grown an (ir)rational hatred of man buns.

They do need to be stabbed in the face. Perhaps there is a man who is angry enough to do it and lives near a convenient location like a moor where one can hide mangled bodies with relative ease. A man who won't be discouraged by his works restriction on his Internet use and will always rock a BON JOVI attire. Where can such a man be found?

Not sure, next time I wandering through Bradders, and I feel that weird feeling in the back of my neck I will call him.

Two mini pizzas and a quarter quiche.
