Monster Zero Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 TBH, I can't really taste much difference between the different coffee places. I'm not keen on Costa's though, too strong, too bitter. That Italian place is proper crap but, they don't put in fresh grounds before they pour your coffee through it so it just tastes like old coffee grounds.I actually like Costa better. Especially now that I am a skimmed milk-only man to ensure I can have coffee while minimising effect on my diet. I keep trying to wean myself onto black coffee but it tastes like donkey ass (I imagine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 At my old work we went round to Sizzlers and had a Friday special which was 4 items in a bun (I usually went for bacon, sausage, fried egg and lorne sausage) with a free coffee or tea. Around the time I left there I was the heaviest Ive ever been. Sizzlers and the lunchtime visits to the Bakers Oven, I wonder how that happened?My mind numbing diet I have been on for months has led me to eliminate the Friday morning sausage bun. It was like losing an arm at first but Im used to it now.I used to work right next to KFC, and got a Zinger Tower meal for lunch pretty much every day. I also lived on microwave meals for dinner, microwave lasagne, microwave bolognaise etc. I was nearly 3st heavier then than I am now. Can't imagine how that happened.

Guest Gladstone Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I get a full breakfast at Dizzy's every Friday. Yas. Min.I tend to not eat much during the rest of the week, so it's fine. And I get plenty of exercise. I'm a bit heavier than I was a year ago, but have knocked a few pounds off and seem to be going gradually down the way again. I ain't turning into no fatty.

Guest idol_wild Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Anyone who wants to be a total lardo should get an office job next to some nice eateries. I did it for two years in Aberdeen and put on almost two stone in weight. It was great.Now my current office job has no nice eateries in the vicinity, and I have lost said two stone. And a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 That Muffin Break place in Union Square does really nice coffee. Amazing cakes too.I've still never tried Starbucks. A hangover from my younger, more radical, socialist past (listening to RATM, reading No Logo etc.). I don't even care anymore but still can't bring myself to go in. Same with GAP.

Same with GAP.GAP is fucking shit anyway.I used to work in a clothes shop and then in Schuh when I was a student, and went through a spell of being into "fashion" - i.e. things like French Connection and shit like that. Even when I was clothes shopping back in those days, I would go into GAP and have a look around, and you know what it is? What it exactly is? It's fucking Primark with an extra zero added to the price. Absolutely shit, overpriced clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely shit, overpriced clothes.It's been a while since I've bought anything in GAP but I used to stock up during sales. Their clothes are (or used to be) pretty robust to the point that they survived multiple offshore washes. So thats extreme boil wash followed by the hottest tumble drier that ever existed off teh surface of the sun. That's robust, believe me. Funniest thing I ever saw was some young lad who had just started offshore and put a very expensive fleece type top into the wash, it came out tiny. Like, it would fit my 3 year old son. Unbelievable how much it shrank.I've bought stuff from Primark on occasion when I needed something that was likely to become destroyed, i.e. for festivals etc. One tepid wash and it was fucked.

All beige. Even if they are a different colour, they still appear beige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I worked in an estate agents for a few weeks who had a Kebab Friday ritual, and the place did absolutely huge kebabs. Luckily for me and my waistline, they were shite kebabs too. The guys there loved them though. Idiots.An actual pet hate. Thievery. Some grotty fuckpiss has stolen the lights off my bike, whilst it was locked up in my works bike cage. The thief being someone I work with makes it even shittier. They didn't just steal the light which slides off either, but the whole clamp and everything. If I see my lights on a bike in the bike cage anytime soon, I'm going to cut their tyres open and snip their brake cables. Then I'll wait for them and flush their head down a toilet. I don't know where the nearest toilet to the bike cages are. Worry not though. I'll find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Fucking thievery pisses me off.One of my mates left a portable hard drive on his desk at work over the weekend, and when he went in on the Monday, it was gone.His work doesn't have any way of knowing exactly who was in the building over the weekend, but someone at his work stole it - 70-80 worth of hardware, not to mention the stuff he had on there.Scumbags.

Nev Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 People who, when you ask if they fancy doing something more than a few days in advance, say "that's too far away, I don't know what I'm doing", then if you ask them closer to the time complain that "it's too soon".For instance, a fortnight before a gig:"Do you fancy going to see A Band at Tunnels in A Fortnight?""Too far away, dunno what I'm doing then"Five days before same gig"Do you fancy going to see A Band at Tunnels in five days?""I'd like to but am busy, why didn't you ask me about this further in advance?"Infuriating.
