BLAH BLAH Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Salami meatballs... Going to the supermarket deli to buy some nice sliced hot salami (220gms) to make some homemade pizza for tea that night...always nicely sliced and stacked at their deli with a price sticker in front of the loverly inviting and tempting stack! Buy me! Buy me please!!! Arriving home, unpacking the groceries only to find that the cretin behind the deli counter has tightly wrapped the sliced salami into a red cricket ball over and over with their massive sheets of folded white deli paper like a demented origami novice...thank you, anything else?!?!... have a nice day!... Find you need the skills of a plastic surgeon with a knife and fork to pick open this meaty chinese puzzle...****, ****, ****!!!!...into salami slices that now resemble tattered thin red tissue paper with gaping holes...ready for tonight's pizza! I tell you what cretin if I wanted salami meatballs i would have brought the deli sliced salami home placed the wrapped sliced hot salami in a sock gone outside and thrown the whole lot against my garage brick wall for 10 minutes or so till I tired...then played footy ala Jack Reiwoldt kicking for goal for another 10 minutes then brought the sock containing salami inside to the kitchen then slammed/thumped like a sumo wrestler going at it for another 10 minute with our dear departed mama's wooden rolling pin...removed the mess from the sock...rolled the lot into a tight ball...taken a photo of it and taken it back to the cretin behind the deli counter and said in a very loud voice for all to hear...see this pic?!?!...now that's what I call a salami meatball not the mess you served earlier this morning!

emesbee Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Silly signs. 'In Case Of Fire Do Not Use Lift' Better not use the lift then , just in case there is a fire. 'This Door Is Alarmed' Why? What is it afraid of? Also those yellow 'Caution Wet Floor' signs that regularly pop up in shopping centres. The floor is never wet and the sign should really say 'Caution This Sign Is A Trip Hazard'. And this one I spotted at the entrance to a garden centre a few years ago (pretty sure I've posted this before). Actually, none of this really cheeses me off, it just amuses me. 1

BLAH BLAH Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Pretty plate food....certainly would not take me hours to demolish that lot...sometimes I spend that long on the Wine list deciding what vintage, type...

I'd already chosen the wines from the wine list - I think we had 5 bottles between 4 of us - it was available on their website (with up-to-date changes). Plus the sommelier gave us a nice digestif to go with our coffee. Some of the dishes were surprisingly filling (snail porridge, bacon and egg ice-cream, the Mad Hatters' Tea Party were the main culprits) and 14 of anything builds up... 21 hours ago, emesbee said: My compliments to the designer, but where's the food? Some people think that a digital cable or a power cable makes a difference. Others like to try food that's taken a lifetime to design and cook. This meal made a more lasting impression (on me and the others at the table) than any piece of kit I've heard (or not heard ). Edited August 27, 2020 by Cloth Ears 2 1
oztheatre Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 When you go to plug in a usb cable and get it round the wrong way more than 50% of the time. I'm at about 80% haha 6 1

I reckon in the bazzilion times I've inserted a USB cable this has happened every bloody time. Why can't it be colour coded? The right way has black to the top, the wrong way has white. Left and right rca sockets have been colour coded forever. 1 1
muon* Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) If you view both sides of the USB connector one side will be blocked in the two square perforations and the other side they will be open showing through to the contacts, just remember what side faces what direction in correct orientation. I do this now, as the frustration from the same as what you describe above, @Hergest was too much for me Edited August 30, 2020 by muon* 1

And in some cases the USB socket is mounted vertically so the symbol is on the side. (I've lost count of the number of times I've fumbled around the back of my blu-ray player trying to fit the cable.)

The right way has black to the top, the wrong way has white. Left and right rca sockets have been colour coded forever. I've learned to be gentle with these USB connections. Have you ever noticed that this issue (of turning it over twice or more) only occurs when you cannot actually see the inlet? The newer USB-C (I think it is) is much nicer. Plugs in which-ever way you try it. 2

The law of averages says the tide has to change at some point and give me a good 50/50 split lol 1
BLAH BLAH Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Coming home from the Supermarket with two loaves of bread...with the surname of a previous Australian PM and it's definitely not Helga's!!!! Only to find the slices have consistently got holes in them some as large as your thumb! Mate if I wanted to pay for holes in my bread slices I would just bring that dammed loaf of bread home rip the guts out of them leaving the crusts and then proceed to butter them and make my dagwood sandwich out of it...or even better toast them! Stop making holes in your bread...I dislike paying for bread holes... 3

I do this now, as the frustration from the same as what you describe above, @Hergest was too much for me I just had a look at some of my connectors. A few of them don't conform to that rule, although the majority do. Might be just as easy to take a quick look at the end of the plug first to see which way the plastic lug is oriented. Otherwise one falls back on the principle that there are two ways to do something. The first way, and the right way. 2
