I know you was only trying to be helpful Bob. I took your advice  and suggested that in future she should bake double the amount. Mrs Moose didn't take the suggestion in quite the spirit it was intended, informing me of the location of the #*%*ing kitchen, what #*%*ing ingredients to use and to make them my #*%*ing self next #*%*ing time.

 

Go ahead, then hide them.

Oh my! That brings back nice memories. Wooden raquets. Whatever happened to them?

 

I was doing a house clearance with a friend for a few quid, and the deceased owner of the house had 20 wood racquets, he also had 7 lawn mowers in his garage, all of them serviceable!

I just changed the lock on the door of my flat, as it had jammed solid.

Thankfully the jam happened while the door was unlocked, so I could get in and out while waiting for the replacement to come, but that's a lot of screwdriver work.

I was trying to lock our front door this morning while holding my work bag, a flask and a radio at the same time- after broddling about for a few mins I realised my wifes key was in the other side

I went for the rib of beef, pint and a half of Golden Muddler and a shared sticky toffee pudding.

I had a light lunch as we were supposed to be off out tonight to one of those rubbish chain restaurants, Ask, as the wife wants to see her friend who is in the area for the weekend.  I griped about her choice of microwaved frozen stuff "restaurant" and the wife said "well, you don't have to come along", clearly thinking I'd buckle to be nice to her friend.  I'm now dropping her off at 6 then probably going to get myself an Indian takeaway or pizza and watch a good movie in peace

I had a lamb tikka balti with naan and rice for dinner. I had onion bhaji for starter.

I think my missus would doubt her chances of getting me there at all, let alone call my bluff.

Just when I was enjoying Quora.com, they banned me because of their "real names" policy. How did they know that Elvis Kardashian wasn't my real name? I couldn't be bothered explaining that I had used that name because I find hyphenated surnames pretentious and thus didn't use my full name, Elvis Farmduck-Kardashian. I got back on by editing my profile to James Tedesco.

I like to use an odd name when I sign up to new sites so when the spam starts arriving in my mailbox for Elvis Kardashian I can just add the name to my spam filter.

Nah, she's used to me after all these years...  I put up with her shopping habits, she puts up with my grumpy surliness at anything to do with socialising with people I'm not fond of, especially in food restaurants where they microwave frozen food and charge fresh food premium prices.

What other kind of restaurants do you frequent then ?

Posted way after midnight when I should have been in bed!  I meant normal food restaurants in comparison with fast-food restaurants where you accept certain compromises and get food cheaper as a result.  The likes of many chain restaurants call their cooks "chefs" when 9/10ths of the food is frozen and microwaved.

Got a bit of time now so:

I had a dream last night that I was at a Huddersfield vs Leeds game but it was being played in my local mid-tier union club's ground for some reason.  No idea why any of that given I'm a Saints fan and I dislike the local union club's ground.

I went for a pint in the clubhouse and they were charging £15 a pint with an excuse that "you're professional so can afford it" and discounts for union supporting gentlemen.

Even in my dreams I have a chip on my shoulder...

Is it haram for dinosaurs to eat Muslims?

Sorry for my blasphemy. I just can't resist temptation.

Haram almost literally translates as “bad”, so, yes, it probably is haram for dinosaurs to eat Muslims from the perspective of Muslims.
