The totally off-topic thread

[JohnK]

Depends on the grade-hope its not labelled budget.

It does not matter to me as long as it is edible. I will find out next week.

And with my cooking I am able to tolerate quite a lot.

I was shopping today & I found that if you are a lady with a popular name, you can burn a candle that has your name on it.

Seeing as though I work with a Princess Fiona & it's her birthday today, I took this photo to help say happy birthday to her.

$40 is mid priced? Shows how inflation is affecting Australia. Glad I now live in London.

Mrsbuzzard & I went to P J O'Briens East End, Radelaide on Friday night. T Bone, Chips + Salad for $10. Sauce $2 extra. Pint of 'Kenny $5.00.
The steak certainly wasn't the best but then what do you expect for a tenner? Overall we enjoyed ourselves.
Better steaks up the road at The Stag, around the $25 mark I think.

I ordered the minute steak out of sheer embarrassment)

Was that a small steak or one cooked in 60 seconds???

If the quality of the steak is not the best, you can always use it in a curry (or several) and just let it simmer for an hour or two.

If you BBQ it just open a nice red then who cares about the steak.

Apparently slow cookers are the go.

I recommend grass fed......great flavour.

Curry? No. Just let it stew for a couple of hours.

Or if pan fried use plenty of sauce if the taste is not so good.

Here's 40 maps that you never were taught about at school. I could be a while looking at them.

Having said that, the world map is much different now compared to when I was in school!

You are right about taking a while to look at them... back soon!

Is it wrong to use the word "slag"?

Got on train at Toombul going to Central and sat at the back of the train with this young female and 2 blokes 3-4 seats in front of me.

The filth that came out of her mouth. She could not put 5 words together without talking filth. And I did not not really need to hear her story of going overseas on holiday and not being able to go to toilet thanks to airline food and calling her mother for advice while she was in toilet.

They got off at Central and I could see she was impeccably dressed and groomed.

I know I am old fashioned but is it acceptable to talk this way in public? I guess life is totally different today....

Using the word 'slag' identifies a certain level of class...

I like the word 'skan_'. But the urban dictionary meaning.

I've gone straight back to grade 10 with this one!

I could well imagine. I hear/see this sort of thing on a daily basis from the pointy end of my train. Some people might have a sookylala about some people on trains with their heads buried in a phone or a tablet but if everyone did that compared to what was described above, things would be so much better.

Mind you, it is not something restricted to young people. While passengering & in full uniform, I was abused by a bitter old guy. I made it quite clear to him & any passenger around him that I did not want to engage in that conversation & that the rest of the carriage did not need to hear it. Some people love the sound of their own voices. He soon shut up after it was quite clear that I was not going to respond to him. I know it is a cliche to respect one's elders but to me, respect is earned & is not an automatic thing.

Is it any wonder that people don't want to get involved in situations in public - you don't know what you are getting yourself involved in.

I guess there were a few choice words I could have used. On the train that was the first word that came to mind....

So on that basis, you'd allow her into an airline lounge?

Absolutely. Don't think she would last very long though.
