Dip a load of syn free sausages in it.

[hotspur]

oh look at me I like my jobbb.
jk

You don't work in I.T. then

Whoah, I never said that I liked my job, just that I don't think most hate theirs. My job is the emotional equivalent of a guy working in Delhi rummaging through a dump everyday for scrap.

Best job I ever had was working in an amusement park in the States on a J1.

My favourite job was the two summers I spent aged 15 and 16 in Fort Lucan.

My favourite was also working in an amusement park in US on J1. I think we have cracked it. Also my amusement park had a small train that went around it, which must obviously have been the nut job according to our deeply considered criteria.

This story is terribly sad. Not sure how I feel about the travel agent calling the guards in.

I imagine/hope that when I'm closer to the end, that it'll be just a simple case of booking yourself in a fair few months in advance, a couple of check ups where at any stage you can back out, and then a simple Ryanair flight across to get sorted.

and more generally:

Anyone who thinks privatization of bus & rail in Ireland will not lead of black holes of transport is a moron.
Also, Dublin Bus drivers tried in a past to keep services running but not collect fares as a method of strike but faced legal sanction

[DeadParrot]

@tar a fat free greek yogurt

the amount of sugar in that is terrifying

[Denny Crane]

It's not privatisation, it's tendering out a few routes; that being said any private bus service I've used here has been >>>>>>> the public service.

[AndyFatBastard]

What are our views on assisted suicide?

I am 100% in favour of it. Where it is certain that someone is terminally ill, has very poor quality of life and does not wish to continue suffering needlessly, there is no moral justification for preventing them taking their own life.

[Emmet]

What are our views on assisted suicide?

I'd rather a doctor could take care of it, in a humane manner.

But if the person is of sane mind, and requests it, I feel that it should be permitted.

[AndyFatBastard]

the amount of sugar in that is terrifying

Yeah fat free yoghurts are one of the worst examples of terrible fat free products. They are almost entirely flavoured with sugar.

[DeadParrot]

What are our views on assisted suicide?

I'd like to say I've no problem with it but would probably balk if actually asked to assist.
In fact, I dont know what I'd do.
- Good for them but dunno if I could help if you want a soundbite

Dublin Bus drivers think they have it tough?

[Denny Crane]

Can never understand why almost every yoghurt in a supermarket is sugar-filled "Greek Style" rather than actual just Greek yoghurt.

[SatNav]

I am using this one, havent a clue but the way I look at it is , my snack right now could have been a cheese burger from macdonalds or a big bag of sweets. Hell of alot better for me than shite!

The issue that they are striking over is that companies are being invited to bid for the tender to provide specified routes (no reason Dublin Bus can't try and win the tender by the way).

The private companies aren't coming in to set up their preferred routes and cancel the rest, the government are telling them what routes they have to provide and the companies are saying how much subsidy they need to provide them.

Yogurt is basically fat

Fat free yogurt is basically sugar

Sugar is worse for you than any fats

Eat proper yogurt or don't eat yogurt at all!

Any diet plan that says eat sugar laden fat free products is short term bollox at best

You have been told this on here a 1000 times at this stage

Yeah think I saw a recipe for that somewhere, ill try that next.

There are a million different hummous', easy to make and taste drastically different...moroccon hummous, spicy chilli, caramelised onion, plain old lemon etc.
I wasn't sure it was possible to not like hummous, unless you just had a shite one.

What hitch said, that is lovely

Tzatzikis - quite close to what you did yesterday: a creamy, minty, cucumbery greek dip

I don't really do low fat so no idea on that count. Dips I use are pesto, tahini (amazing omfgtasty good), tzatziki, and various nut butters.

Maybe bean pate? That is class.

Or chutneys and salsas? The stuff I make is here but I doubt many of them are low fat.

What's the verdict on couscous?

Couscous is fantastic, somehow most people cant seem to make it which I fond hilarious, since you literally add a little bit of water to it and its done. Again it's something that is completely versatile, couscous with any main or a couscous bake

The shelbourne served me couscous on its own before at a company do haha, safe to say our company doesn't eat there any more.

Couscous bake I made when I was veggie:

Dublin Bus drivers think they have it tough?

You'd swear this was written about a certain mod from here.

'The young man's name was Jose Antonio Godinez Carrera. Godinez had an adolescent charm and a taste for women and drinking with his friends.
But his happy-go-lucky exterior concealed a steely ambition: Godinez was determined to become a bus driver. When his hands were on the wheel and his foot on the gas, he felt free and powerful, capable of anything'

[Lord Sir Banter]

Equally impressive that none of them ever make any money either.

Cleared my desk, had my exit interview. Dumped my responsibilities off. one more day.

[hotspur]

After my big book dumping operation 2 weeks ago (saw some rip off rinky dink version being touted by Hitch here, possibly while guzzling Cadet Cola), my clothes and I had a battle this afternoon.

Despite being berated for my numbers last time I counted them, I counted again as I filled up big plastic boxes of them to be dumped tomorrow.

Footwear - 10
Trousers - 57
Jackets / coats - 23
Shirts - 27
T-Shirts - 52
Socks - 67
Underwear - 55
Tops / jumpers - uncounted

Somehow amidst all of this I resolved that I have to buy various clothes, but a great victory has been achieved today.

One could get the mistaken impression from this that I am someone into clothes. I am not. The problem has been the way I store them. It's like Google search, if they are piled vertically then I don't look beyond the first 5 or so results. So a regular use pair of trousers might randomly end up inside out on page 3 of the search rankings and not get worn for a year as a result. And of course a similar type would then get bought. Quite a number of items that went out had never been worn / still had tags on them.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, just cut underwear. No need for it.

It doesn't look that many when piled up, although some sections fell back and in and so a half dozen could be obscured by one in front.

Listen, eat whatever you like. But if you're gonna ignore tried and tested advice on what to eat it would probably be better to not bother raising the topic in the first place. The blueprint is there - Olly looks the picture of health primarily achieved through discipline and application. If anyone wants to look like that, read his posts. If you don't, cool. But harping on about low fat this and that is a fucking waste of electrons tbh.

I think she only asked about dips.

Just because you don't agree with a diet, don't be acting like what Olly is doing is the best diet in the world. I don't agree with it at all.

We are ALL entitled to opinions and this place should be free for us all to talk about which ever diet/lifestyle works for us.

I hang all my trousers, I need to learn your mad stacking skills. I just bought 5 new pairs of trousers, yet have some I've never worn yet. In fact I have trousers for all possible reasonable weights I could be, Contingencies. Have recently thrown out several bin bags of clothes.

Im still not sure what my new cord/chinos hybrids are trying to pull off. People behind me think I am wearing chinos, people in front of me think I'm wearing cords. The mullet of trousers. Quite the ruse either way.
