I have several vegan and vegetarian friends. One showed me a cookie and I did the Homer Simpson thing and said "mmm cookie" and all that. Then she told me that it was vegan. Naturally I was suspicious and I asked: "how did you do the egg?". She said: "I substituted the meringue with chick-pea water!".

Now bean-water, not chick-pea water per-se, is an actual thing and it's called aqua-fava. Apparently you can make a meringue-alike with it. HOWEVER....that's not my point. Have you ever heard anything more off-putting than "chick-pea water" used in conjunction with food? UGH!!! :( :( :(

Vegans are known self-haters. They're probably punishing themselves for being Hitler in a past life or something.

Ah so you thought you were being clever and i was being off point again? Loser ;)
Technically, you asked WHAT they were, so I assumed you didn't know what they were.

If you said 'what are they doing in cookies' i'd understand.

Most things in the freezer should be ok as long as it's not opened (the freezer that is). Freezers are insulated to keep the cold in and the frozen items keep everything else cold. Some things are sensitive and might spoil, ice cream can develop freezer burn and become icy in texture. Meats and vegetables should be fine. It also depends on the environment the freezer is in - warm room, thing spoil faster.
Don't assume everything is bad and just blindly discard it.

That one time a year where you use private browsing for something other than porn (ordering wife mobile phone for Christmas), but someone else sees the private browsing icon and assumes you have been looking at porn.

What is also annoying is not coming up with a better reply. If someone recognises the private browsing icon from across a room without being able to see the rest of the screen and immediately assumes it is porn, then its clear what they must be doing a lot of...

Yes, I loved this bit, I was pissing myself watching it, brilliant

On the same note, I always browse FH, my bank, FB and other forums I'm on using private browsing when I'm on the work lappy in the office as I'm not the only one who uses it, its not just for pr0n (but mainly is though....)

People who deliberately stand in the periphery of your vision while you're busy.

People who stand next to you and wait without speaking while you're clearly on the phone.

People who somehow manage to take up a massive amount of space (not physically).

People who read through a list of requirements you made, pick out something -usually- silly that -usually- the business wants for -usually- obscure reasons, and go on to harp at length on how silly and/or obscure said requirement is while heavily implying that you're really thick and had formulated this particular requirement while riding the short bus home.

Management that promise one thing then don't deliver.

That's me leaving them high and dry in the new year :)

Order something from Amazon from a company based in the UK - free delivery, still not turned up.

2 days later I order something from Amazon again, and this time it comes from Germany and arrived today.

Wtf.

Now saying a delivery date of the 8th of Jan.

Yeah OK mates. Off you fuck.

Yeah, I've had that.

It's annoying that they give you a month delivery window, it's not hard to dispatch something and then know when it's going to be delivered by, roughly.

Roughly does not mean a month.

I use a company that has a base in Birmingham but are a german company. I order a bunch of stuff from them and they say that part will be dispatched form Germany and part from Birmingham.

Can you guess which part of the order always arrives 1st, and the next part is usually 3 days later

Jobsworth today at a job, only been doing it about 3 weeks but he wants to make his mark. There was a van parked down a narrow alley as they had to get close to the entrance. I was working on the entrance door but I only needed hand tools and the part for the door, so it wasn't a problem, but the guy in the van apologised and asked if I needed him to move, I said no its fine, not a problem

This jobsworth see's me coming down the side of the van and starts having a right go at the guys and told them they need to move so I can get my stuff to where I needed to be, I told him it was fine and that they had already asked if they needed to move, but he still made them move it out on to the road, which them caused the traffic to back up as they were blocking the rd outside. Whilst all this was going on, id finished what I had to do and was away. He walks around in a hi vis jacket with a hard hat on, its not a site and no one else has to. He has come from a big company in London and thinks he's in charge of The Shard
