When scones like this



come served with "jam" like this

ffs. Just dont put it on your scone then.

Im annoyed about the lack of a ctrl+ function to increase the text size in my book.

Ha! It is only a minor complaint in fairness. But you're in a nice cafe, with nice ambiance, decent coffee, lovely home baked products, and then they ruin it all by giving you cheap plastic tubs of jam.

Whats the book? What gets me is overly inky thickish font. I picked up a nice edition of "They Shoot Horses Don't They" recently, but the font is driving me to distraction.

You'd prefer they pass round the jar?

Yeah! Or preferably, put some into those little little single serving pots.

My problem is not with the packaging really, more with the crap jelly substance these packages usually contain.
Its not much to ask! Sob!

I suppose something like these could be an improvement

Although if the scone is warm then butter should be enough. Mmmmm.

In Search Of Lost Time Vol. 1 : Swann's Way by Marcel Proust. I started it on July 31st and am only on page 143. The print is fine, I don't think any lighter would help. If I'm on the late shift I like to drop into the pub on my way home from work for a read and a pint but a Smithwicks or two does nothing for my reading eyes.

Fuck Yeah.

Thought I could keep up with my kid in an indoor fun jungle gym kids play place yesterday.

I fell down the slide.

I am hurted today.

I find them too big. I use about one third of the jam and feel sorry for the café because they probably have to throw it out (don't they?).

First time I was in one of those places I went down the big slide holding my son's hand and nearly killed both of us. I forgot that, being significantly heavier than him, I would hurtle down 100 times faster than he would. Ended up in a heap at the bottom with him held in a headlock.

Welcome to Ireland.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Contrary to popular belief it hardly ever rains in Ireland. At least on the east coast it doesn't. I know this because its on days like today and yesterday that I realise how rare it is that I get caught in the rain. It would be a regular occurrence if it rained regularly but it doesn't.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i stuffed my face with fish and chips and now i feel wrong

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'm starving but my colleague still hasn't turned up for work so I can't go and get anything to eat

i just taught a lesson where the couple went upstairs and had sex for the entire duration of the lesson in the room above the one i was teaching in. they were being quiet but didn't account for the bed moving on the suspended floor. i taught that kid the loudest stuff i could think of for an hour.
