Hey! Would I go into your church and piss on the altar? But seeing as you brought it up, I've had an inexplicable lightness this week, a notional positivity that had me confused and the only explanation that makes sense is the aftermath of Ireland v South Africa in RWC last week, one of the most brutally physical games of rugby I've ever witnessed. I know, I know. Doesn't get us into the QF's never mid beyond that for the first time ever (All Blacks or France standing in the way if we get past Scotland). But what a game! Well worth checking out online for those of you who think cheerleaders and advertisement breaks bring something worthwhile to sporting encounters.
Well, the fact that this is the first I've heard of it suggests it's pretty much a niche thing. Not like soccer a/k/a the rest of the world's "football," which is well-established at the university level at least.
That wasn't intended as bad mouthing rugby in the slightest. It was more about the shock value for all the parents who would like nothing better than wraping their little darlings in bubble wrap.
Truth be told, rugby’s not quite a religion in my house. No, much more important than any of that life, death and the afterlife nonsense. I think I might need a crash course in emojis just to clarify meaning.
Possibly because this year is the first edition. In the first ever game in July, Texas beat Los Angeles.
everyone freaking out over whos going to handle my duties. my various roles and duties are being temporarily divvied up amongst remaining staff and the amount of "thanks for this" and "i'm stuck with X" is annoying.... like, HOW DO YOU THINK I FELT HAVING TO DO IT ALL BY MYSELF? yall get 1 thing and its such an inconvenience at the same time:
Good. I hope the ones who contributed most to your departure are the ones inheriting the biggest headaches.
You'd think that a company that exists to sell insurance would know it's pronounced inSURance, not INsurance.
Eating out: Smokers who light up a cigarette then step away from the diners at their table to stand by yours. Last night I was enjoying my meal while inhaling cigarette smoke. Please think about ALL diners. Please and thank you
One of the sublime moments of my life was when smoking in public buildings was officially verboten where I live. It's always a shock to walk into a restaurnat somewhere else and be assaulted by polluted air. Maybe the company knows something you don't? I say INsurance but cheerfully tolerate those who insist on landing the emphasis elsewhere.
That says more about the person than the habit. They won't be rude to their friends, but others are fair game.
No, this was outdoors on a terrace in the village square. LoL... it was the fact that the smoker moved away from his table and then stood by ours. So yes, things that annoy me that shouldn't.
I disagree, I think that very much should have annoyed you, and I would have asked to them stand somewhere else.
I'll see if I can figure out how to upload a reel to youtube. if not, I've just posted on Instagram... I've just added to FB... miracles will never cease... it posted LoL https://www.facebook.com/pigletinportugal ETA I don't think you can see it unless you have an Instagram account.
Um... hmmm. Yes, well. When I first joined staff on WF.com back in 2013 it seemed prudent to change it.
Today I discovered that prepacked beef mince contains additives, including sugar and salt. It is neatly packed in PLASTIC trays in half kg and 900 g lots. I don't want salt, sugar and other chemicals added to my food, so I went to the butcher's counter, pointed to a chunk of beef, and asked if they could mince it. Yes. Great. I asked for 3 kg. AS he was mincing I asked if he could divide it up into half-kilo sacks. No. WTF? I asked why. Just got the Portuguese shrug. I replied if I ordered just half a kilo, you would serve it to me. Yes. Then I want 6 half kilos. No. You can only have in 3kg Okay ... I'm hot. I already want to eat someone alive as this was our fifth shop on a shopping marathon, and I'd not eaten lunch. I will add there were two guys just standing there and I was their only customer. I will also add at our usual supermarket in the same chain, no problem. Again the shrug. I told them they could keep the mince. If it's saving the planet then why package any meat in plastic trays and why wrap veg in twee plastic packaging and offer rolls of plastic bags? AND shrink wrap cucumbers LoL ... Anyways, I've now got to go shopping again tomorrow to another supermarket and buy some mince.
