I would like to lose weight but I hate exercising and love cheese and wine.

My moka pot is going wrong and only makes an almost goo like espresso now.

(white) south africans. god, they're a pain. most i've dealt with recently are rude, overfamiliar, and arrogant.
i was telling my wife about some of the interactions i've had with them recently in work and her response was 'ah, they're mansplaining to you'.

Yassas breu.
London events is a South African industry. The older bours are rude and ignorant and 99% are unashamedly racist. Or racialist. They'll happily work with black dudes, and then say something about kaffirs. The cognitive dissonance is amazing. And they treat me and my ilk the way they'd treat day labourers from the township. And most importantly, most of them are really not as great as they assume they are.
The youngers are generally sounder, but they're kinda ignorant of their recent history. They don't want to know. They're all more like surfer dudes.

reason i mention it was that yesterday i was asked to join a teams chat (IM chat, not voice call) to help where some guy in south africa was having trouble patching win2012 servers. he immediately started slagging me and saying i couldn't help because i look after 'baby' operating systems. i'd never talked to this guy before so there's no familiarity there, so it was a bit weird. i just closed the window.

He probably assumes that since you're Irish you're ok with "banter". But since contempt is the default mode, they don't know what banter is. Not do they care about any consequences.

I'm being harsh on Saffas here. I do know hundreds of them. They're generally sound, other than the occasional wtf did he just say moment.

Great accent, i'll give them that.

why does Once Upon A Time In America come on straight after 'I've Never Met A Nice South African'.
I've hardly ever looked at Daily Motion so maybe someone else got a different clip.

Worked with 2 of them in my last job, liked them both a lot. I find techies are divils for mansplaining anyway, especially when your hair is white and they think you're past it, so I'm kinda used to that

If I were to say to you ''can you keep a secret?''
Would you know just what to do and where to keep it?

Absolutely can not get asked a question without thinking of this.

I heard on the radio that ABC are playing in Palmerstown in Sept!

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I'm not a smoker but some of the pictures on the cigarette packs are gross. It's like a Carcass album cover. Still doesn't put them off mind ya.
