minor things that make you fume

[Jamo Martinez]

Jacket potatoes, home made chips and potato cakes. Basically all the potato family

We do things like chicken nuggets in it. Something which, when cooked in the traditional deep fried manner, is basically an oil sponge.

I'm currently air frying a few rashes of bacon I picked up from the butchers yesterday afternoon. While bacon isn't healthy, it takes away a lot of the fat.

Like with the sausages, they taste much better cooked in the air fryer than in the pan and grill.*

*Admittedly, I do love crispy bacon though.

I was at a German restaurant in Brisbane once, ordered the brattwurst platter. Had it before and it was really good.
Start eating and the first 2 sausages are lukewarm at best. When the waitress pops over and asks how is your meal, I mention a couple of the sausages are a bit cold, but don't stress, I will still eat it.

2 minutes later, head chef comes over to apologise in person and gives me and the person I was with a free drink each.

When I go to pay the bill, they didn't charge me for my dinner, which I then complained about because I had eaten it, but they insisted they wouldn't let me pay for it, so I bought 4 schnapps as a goodwill gesture instead.

Been back there every time I went to Brisbane.

Doesn't sound much like a fume to me.

No it's a reference to the origin of the word brekkie, much like ruggers and other words they came up with back then, they all orginiated from the upper class schooling system in the 1800s.

Try again tory amos

Isn't 'soccer' actually one of those words?

I can't believe I've got something in common (supporting Everton) with half the people that post on this site

Online forms. I filled in an online change of address form for the council following my recent house move (I didn't fancy listening to an hour and a half of "your call is important to us, please hold the line and our next available customer care operative will be with you"). After about 30 minutes filling in boxes with irrelevant nonsense (all they really need to know is old address new address and account reference number) I reached the last page and hit the "submit" button. Up pops "Sorry there's been an error. Please contact us". Tried to go back but all the information I'd laboriously typed in had been wiped. No alternative but to listen to the recorded message for an hour and a half waiting for "the next available customer care operative".

This morning I got a text from my dentist reminding me I have an appointment on Thursday, and giving me a link to an online form to fill in with my medical details, next of kin details, doctors details etc. Spend half an hour answering a load of irrelevant questions, get to the end and hit "submit". Message comes up "sorry there's been an error. Please contact us". Is there nobody on this planet that can design an online form that doesn't give the user homicidal thoughts?

First trains delayed causing me to miss the second train which is early.

The trains are run by absolute imbeciles.

There's also a special place in hell reserved for people who walk at glacial pace, pricks.

My dentist asks me to fill these in, via a link in a text message. I never have and he's never asked about it.

I phoned up and told the receptionist. She just asked if it was my first appointment and, when i told her it wasn't, said it doesn't matter. I'll know next time lol

People who drive fast in car parks. There's a very good reason the limit is 5mph - That it's practically impossible to see around the corners, and when pulling out.

My son is buying a house at the moment and I told him that he should walk around the estates at night time to check for anti social behaviour, gangs on scooters etc. He nodded at me and said 'good point '. Guess who is now walking around various housing estates after dark. Go on, guess.

I know it's derived from association. Just wondered if it was from the English public schools rather than the Americanism most people assume it to be.

It's definitely from the schools system.
