Rude ass people

I'm sitting at my desk eating lunch and posting (so I'm turned away from the hallway which passes my office, there's just an opening, no door) when I hear, "so which one's Barb's office, this one here?"

I turn around to see a snotty looking woman holding a check. Therefore, she is most like a customer so I can't say what I wanted to.

What is wrong with people?!

The things we're scared of..

.. In Basingstoke, Hampshire, a van passenger was killed when a deer smashed through the vehicle's windscreen during a snowstorm. Malcolm Brown, 32, from nearby Bramley, died instantly.

That is a genuine fear for me - on a road that I drive on everyday, a bloke was killed when the car in front of him hit a deer, the deer went straight over the top of that car, and smashed through his windscreen.

Anything slightly ridiculous, but still a possibility, that you're scared of?

Lift cables breaking? Fairground rides stopping and you falling out?

I want to find black pudding sausages

I went to two different eastern european places they no longer sell black puddings. The German deli near me has no fresh produce. Where can I get black pudding sausages (Spanish, French and Germans all do them) but I have not seen them sold in London. Any ideas?

Pork Pies

Love them.

Anyone here a fan of pork pies?

The only problem is that the ones that I really like are from Woolies.

I've tried to buy them elsewhere but they just aint nice.

Has anyone tried making their own pork pies?

Have your bought yourself anything for Christmas?

1) Casual boots

2) I have to make a return to a fav store. I might spring for a loungey type outfit for hanging out Christmas day. Who wants to eat a bunch and then have on tight jeans? I think I bought one a couple years ago and it looks all faded and shrunken.

Gay Jeans

So I bought a pair of jeans about 3 months ago and the style is different than I normally get. The jeans are really dark, they never faded. I must have gained weight or they shrunk really fast because they are now tight. They seem really tight at the ankles too, they look very effeminate. My better half said I looked gay in them and thought it was cute that I was wearing them around. I'm not one to just throw something away. I was thinking about giving them some time to stretch out. What should I do?

Too bad it was abotut -14C... so now I am back in poland and sick. I have a very shallow breath. maybe i have pneumonia or some sort of lung infection.
