United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

I usually end up eating the chocolate bars or whatever that come with them in like a week. Then the egg will probably be there at Christmas. I still have a whole bunch of Christmas chocolate left over.

Kraft have fucked Cadbury's eggs and Nestle eggs are as shit as they ever were. Unless you're one of those posh wankers that gets a Thorntons egg with your name on it, Easter is fucked guys. At least there's still pancake day even though I can't make pancakes so I didn't even have one this year (was contemplating going to Wetherspoons for some though).

Pancakes are the most simple thing you could ever cook, do it yourself and you can have as many as you want... you mention pancakes once and i'm craving them as if I was pregnant.

The only thing I know how to cook is frozen pizza. I need to learn. ... but there's a Wetherspoons on the way home from work

and you get so pissed you can eat frozen chips straight out the bag

One time i got so pissed i pissed in the clothes basket

Put tinfoil on tray Put bacon on tinfoil Put tray in oven Turn oven on at 200 C Wait 10-15 minutes until bacon is crispy to your liking Congratulations, you cooked bacon. Now put it in a butty and live the high-life.

or to save an extra 5 minutes just put it in the microwave

but then the fat doesnt stiffen up, you gotta cook it proper you numpty

My flat didn't come with a microwave Need to buy one. Probably going to wait though gonna buy a flat.

That sounds like a lot of effort. It only takes 5 minutes under the grill

Crispy bacon is horrible, and I cut the fat off my bacon anyway. Soft bacon best.

Needs to be that golden brown. Not chewey soft but not 2 steps away from charcoal like most people who want their bacon "crispy".

Bacon should be fried, the fat is there for a reason.

Going into work during half term felt weird, mainly cos it was a total ghost town. Had to open all the workshop doors and blast the FM radio to stave off loneliness. Well atleast I don't have to go in again until half term is over, then it's back to norm.

Whilst on the discussion on bacon, does anyone else find the bacon in meal deal sandwiches absolutely sickening?

Depends on the location I'd say. Tesco Chicken & Bacon subs are delicious to me but the bacon in Morrison's sandwiches are thoroughly mediocre.

All day breakfast sandwiches are a guilty pleasure of mine. Better to stick to egg n' cress.

ive never had a problem with sandwich bacon, it always tends to be on the very edge of being crispy but just a little off.

Anyone here work in corporate accounting or had any experience with that kind of department? Just curious as to what the workload/stress is like for bookkeepers/accountants working for a single company, I work in public accounting in a remote practice and the amount of work to do is absurd, I usually work through lunch and stay after hours and there still isn't enough time to get everything done, between that and having to deal with some of the stupidest horrible clients that just make your work harder I can't really see myself sticking at this for too long. I can imagine even if corporate accounting is busy the work is still probably more regular and spread out whereas what a week is going to be like for me is a coin toss. One of my favorite clients is an escort in London,, his paperwork just consists of a wad of taxi + flowers receipts and post office cash deposits, must be doing something right since he's pulling in 2-3 grand a month by himself though.

fucking £2 for a 2l bottle of Pepsi in ASDA fucking fat-shaming sugar tax i am literally shaking right now

why the fuck does bombay mix taste like eggy shit all of a sudden If I wanted a mouth full of seaweedish scat i'd fuck off down the seafront at low tide

What brand did you buy? Cofresh bombay mix has a good blend of spice and heat but is lacking in lentils and peanuts.

Could you just add a tbsp of cane sugar to your lucozade or whatever to make it taste good again?

Yeah the snack packets, I tend to buy Silver Palm Foods Bombay mix- it's the only brand my local stores tend to stock, which was fine because It's super cheap and used to be one of my favourite snacks, but recently it's started tasting utterly vile. "Low tide" is really the only way I can describe the flavour now.

only fizzy drink i get anymore is those sugar free cans of monster so suck it theresa im not under your control

That new Diet Coke Feisty Cherry burns the fuck out of my throat. It's not like a spice burn, or alcohol burn either. Just weird. Lots of people on Twitter are saying the same thing.

Im currently on a companies reserve list for a grad scheme. Im guessing that this is a stupid question but anyway, do companies generally add more jobs then advertised or am i screwed and need to look for another job?

Depends on the size of the company and it's competitiveness really.
