Ah yeah I kinda know that, I'm really just super-psyched that she's finally going to be available to help with the housework if I'm to be brutally honest.

I was only being a bit of a dick.

A good PhD will open a lot of jobs up that she would have had interviews for but ended up being third choice for. Any company that came from a uni spin out especially will put a lot of stock in them.

It's a huge achievement and sounds like it's a good one to boot. I am reasonably smart but I wouldn't be in anyways capable of doing a good PhD.

It doesn't gaurantee a ride to the top and riches but it will start her on a much higher rung of the ladder.

A life of leisure for hitch - sounds like a death sentence you. It seems you are much better off being an under appreciated semi workaholic academic. I am still a bit of a dick just to be clear.

A welcome return for lunch to the local Cuban sandwich place. What's with the Cuban ability to elevate the humble sandwich to a thing of absolute glory?!


Sample Cuban sandwich from Google Images, of which these don't look that dissimilar.

That looks a bit like a Reuben which are absolutely devine.

Surely some sort of Cuban-Reuben hybrid is the way forward.

Corn Beef, Ham/Pork, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, mustard and dressing (Russain/thousand island) on a grilled roll.

[Trippie]

For me the problem with reuben and majority of american sandwiches is that the ratios are all wrong, too much meat normally, dont get the combinations of different textures. Much prefer that thin cuban posted earlier ratio wise

I'm not a fan of sandwiches with 20 layer of meat.

But I definitely think that the norm is too much bread elsewhere. Same with burgers. I hate burgers hat are all bun with a tiny patty.

Ireland is ripe for a great sandwich shop, showcasing the best the world has to offer, they have wanked the burger, and i love a good burger, to celeb status, its time for the sandwich.

Spoke to a ex chef of mine a few years ago (he now earns £100K a year & his Sous does the weekends) about a sandwich shop idea i had in 00's along the lines of SOGTFO.

Spoke about looking to move to London in 05 ish, having to stay due to family stuff and idea dead by time I moved over

He interrupted me and said, ya Pret and the likes would with their shitty product have killed it

That and the lowering of expectation and price point by supermarket sandwich deals


He was a big fan of the original O'Briens idea fwiw


Might be a gap reappearing now that Starucks etc charge so much for very average fare & everything else drifting to hipster hell


The GTFO model is the future btw

I'm following a keto diet atm, basically very low carb. So no sandwiches for me.
Aldi have a pretty good low carb bread so could use that if the craving hits me later. Which is probably will

Make or break time for the cricket team today in their first super six match at the world cup qualifiers. Lose and they almost certainly done for. Tough game v the hosts Zimbabwe, ireland win toss and will bowl. On sky sports as well

[KevIRL]

Zimbabwe 50/3. Rocky start but two wickets in the last few mins changes the outlook completely

[Lao Lao]

I had an extremely healthy day yesterday

Breakfast : Jambon from Spar

Hot chocolate from Bewleys

Lunch : Bunsen - cheeseburger and sweet potatoe fries / can of coke

Dinner : Chinese Takeaway - There was 10 of us so we ordered two set dinner menus plus a few extras and I gorged on everything / 2 cans of coke

Desert : Colin the caterpillar cake from M&S and donuts from Aungier Danger

Still feel like I'm going to burst

[KevIRL]

Zimbabwe 50/3. Rocky start but two wickets in the last few mins changes the outlook completely

96/5 now after 24

[The Situation]

In complete control here, would be a disaster to lose from this point.

Scots game the crucial one now on Sunday. Seems they've come on leaps and bounds of late.

I don't really eat bread unless I'm in a restaurant. My PT asked what kind of bread do I eat and I said none, he nearly fainted. Not sure he'd ever heard that. Why are you off bread?

Delighted with that tbh, we should beat them easily enough... that be quite a week for city, 2 games vs the pool and a win the title against utd in the middle. What could go wrong


At least the 1st leg is at anfield... that's definitely an advantage for city.

Every morning, I'm up before Mrs Mrs Lao Lao, normally about 1.5 - 2 hours before she gets up. I hit the alarm off straight away, hop in the shower, grab clothes I need and get dressed/ready in the spare room so I don't wake her.

This week from Wednesday to today, she has been up first as I've been off work

Wednesday

Alarm went off 7 times due to incessant use of the snooze button. My remark of 'Are you getting up or are you staying in bed all day listening to the alarm' didn't go down too well. We then had to have the chats. Eventually, she hit the shower so I dozed back off. I was then woken to be told to keep my eyes closed as she was turning on the bedroom light. Then the hair dryer went on for about 20 minutes, then there was more chats.

Thursday

Pretty much carbon copy of Wednesday although there was even more chats.

Friday

I actually managed to sleep through the alarm so she woke me up for some cuddles. Cuddles is not code word for sex, it's just cuddles, followed by more chats and excessive use of the hair dryer.

The promise of three nice long lie ins gone. Bitches be crazy.

We were invited to our next door neighbours last night, they are also our landlords. And They had large triangles of chunky Maltese bread. I had two bits!

Although, when we arrived, there was a table of crackers with dips, one being soooo amazing that I am going to buy some today! And other snacks. That was before we had our main which was a pasta dish with a choice of rabbit or pork.

Then the cheese board came out with loads of cheeses on it with crackers or chunky bed, then there was homemade brownie/cake.

I rolled back home

Link to the recipe for the Bigilla dip below. It is worth it.

Mccambridges is Galway is probably best sandwich in country, Dublin has nowhere close.
147 deli is very good, and there's a place oxmantown on red luas line that's supposed be class but only mon-fri so never try it.

Gap in market for a proper top quality deli in my opinion, that has a menu but can make up any sandwich with good quality ingredients.

Best sandwich I have probably ever had was in an Italian deli in San Francisco. Grab a lump of bread from a big tip and pick a number, when you're called hand it to the big Italian guy with no English and point to something on the board. Watch magical layers of salami layer up before your eyes.

Without wanting to get in on a piece of your personal and heartfelt pain, I was woken up at 5am this morning as the kid couldn't open a Mars bar.

I know it's considered bad form to criticise other people's parenting skills, especially when you don't have kids yourself. But how and why the fuck does a child have access to a mars bar?

You went from hoping Liverpool would get one of the two better teams left assuming so they would be more likely to get knocked out, to being happy to get them in the draw.

Surely with away goals playing 2nd leg away is preferred? Or you just convince yourself whatever outcome is best?

[Opr]

I am sure it will be a great buzz when it rolls around and some of the best CL nights back in the day were against English sides. The draw just feels a little deflating currently as when your back at this stage of the CL after so long you fancy something a little more exotic.

God, I hated the old tvs with a passion. Big chunky slabs in the corner of the room, took 4 people to lift it and had buttons with size of coin slots that you had to press to change channels (about 10 channel buttons) and 3/4 of the channels were either static or pictures that were so gainy that looks like static or kept moving from one end to the next as was impossible to tune in properly.

The amount of times we gave it a wack to try get picture was unreal. It was like a punching bag, but still worked.
!

Most underrated technological achievement of all time, was way ahead of its time. We really shouldn't have had TV in the home before we had computers and internet, how and why we came to is an extraordinary story.
You had a miniature X Ray machine blasting out a high tension line at 25,000 volts scanning the screen 16,000 times per second sitting alongside an enormously complex radio decoder and amplification system that could extract live signals out of thin air, all inside a little cabinet that used no more power than a couple of hundred watt bulbs.
That such advanced tech across the entire system from camera to tube was able to be deployed in every home in the world with the kind of almost mechanical electronics of the valve age was at least as great a miracle of human ingenuity in technology and mass production as anything else we have come up with. IMO

Heh

Much prefer knowing where you stand with away goals going into last leg. You can no longer concede any more away goals at that point. Definitely my preferred and imagine many managers agree.

City was the draw I wanted to avoid, partly because we have only a small enough chance of winning, also because we play city every year anyhow. I wanted something different.

Happy Liverpool Sevilla and Roma were all kept apart. The semi final potential is now mouth watering. Juve v Real easily the most interesting tie of the round.
