Buy an Ooni. Never order pizza again.Originally posted by Lao Lao View Post"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment

Instead, decide you want pizza 6 hours before you want it, destroy the kitchen, and go outside in all weathers to cook it! By the way, Im not disagreeing, this is actually preferable to ordering pizza in almost every way. If I was feeling lazy, I would have a Goodfellas over a deliver pizza for reasons of both consistency and price.
Is anyone else very odd with money like that? I will routinely spend a lot on the stupidest shit, but wont buy the London Essence Co. tonic cans unless they're discounted to €4 in Tesco from the regular €6.Comment

The minimum wage isn't really any different North-vs-South so its something else going on with Southern pricing. Not sure rental rates have risen that much either. It must be just some crowds taking the piss and all we can do is dial back the dining out until they feel a bit of stress and cop on."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big PhilComment

Made it into work safe....only 4 traffic anomalies this am
young one on escooter breaks red without checking left or right once ...pedestrian steps out from behind van again doesn't even glance right .....cyclist similiar
The coup de grace was I'm heading into Clondalkin and taxi just makes a right turn directly across my path ..literally didn't even look at oncoming traffic ..hit the brakes and so did she when she finally realised I better make sure nothings coming!
I let her continue the turn just in case there was another fuck up

One of the reasons I don’t admire the top racing car drivers that much is the M50 commute. I think it should be mandatory to have a few beers or a betablocker (for teetotallers) before attempting to navigate the daily free for all, otherwise your nerves be gone. The last minute decisions at break neck speed keep my reflexes as sharp as a knife as I don’t always predict what will happen next. The White Vans battling each other for right lane supremacy is something David Attenborough should be commenting on. I remember overtaking a couple of weeks ago in the lashing or rain, I checked behind before moving and ZERO coming . Just as I changed lane , I was Elephant charged by a car doing 130/140 coming up fast flashing lights and car horn roaring . WTF, of course my stay in that late was extended to punish the divil. So that made me part of the problem. No blue flag waved, not moving, but really due to aggressive bullying. I’ve personally witnessed 2 potential fatal crashes . One car spun one year after clipping whilst moving from the fast lane down just as another was moving up. Several cars Jammed on and zero serious damage, some bumpers stuff but the ejits were now facing South as opposed to North . Mayhem was building in my rear view window. The other crash was simply some guy not slowing down as traffic congestion built. He managed to sideways spin into the verge beside the hard shoulder. I didn’t catch the aftermath but I couple smell his trousers as I was driving past. It probably casts a dark shadow on my humanity that I was slightly disappointed he got out without some kind of smashed up limb. I made my peace with allah over that one.Originally posted by dinekes View PostComment

You absolutely sure you don't want a smart tariff? - they've improved a lot recently. We now run the washing, charge the car, from 2-5am, also give a heat boost during that time that lasts the day. But, you do need a few ducks in a row to get the most out of the new tariffs."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big PhilComment

Yeah, you might be right. We have had a fair few household arguments over whether the youngest kid needs to be bathed at peak-time on Sundays. I think it nearly gives me a breakdown to see him have a four euro long shower when if we'd just timed it a little bit better it would be three euro. All the while chucking the fifty euro of the week's unused fridge food in the bin, such is life. Household energy optimisation feels like such a male-oriented role, bordering on obsession.Originally posted by Denny Crane View Post

E.g. this was our charging yesterday - albeit that it was abnormally high due to the car being empty. But every Kwh charged during 2-5am is 8c.

Was it OPR was saying he might back Liverpool for the League in the hope City are deducted a shedload of points?
Just looking there and City have been cut from 2000/1 into 150s for relegation, might be worth a few small bob just in case, Chelsea into 70s too.
Strangely enough United have been cut into 150s too even though others like Villa are still at 1000+?
A good few bookies have no relegation market anymoreComment
