What's annoying me today

I never had you down as pining for the Stump-infested Brexit capital of Lincolnshire, but there you go

I've a sneaking suspicion it has been...

I mildly enjoyed the Rob Lowe crime show in Boston. It was obviously over-kind to the Fensters.

I'm down for this but as I'll be staying at my parents in Buttfucknowhere, Lincs I'll need somewhere to shower and change post run / pre football. Unless that is you're up for staying out for a post match session in which case I'll just get a hotel in town.

You're welcome to pop round to mine for a shower (10mins to the ground). I shall be going to the match and up for a few pints but I will definitely not be running anywhere.

That's more like it. My type of guy. I bet you'd send your wife and kids on the train to Scotland on Boxing day to see the in laws as well. So you could sit around the house in your underpants until finally at 3pm you gather up enough strength to get sufficiently presentable for another 9hr session in the pub. Every day hoping your wife extends her stay at the in laws so you don't het have to again face the never ending pain of responsibility and life. Maybe hoping she never comes back, divorces you so you can play the depressed divorcee card, the man left lonely, wife took the kids, so you don't have to face that responsibility ever again, just the pure joy of living your life free again, like those glorious single years of your 20s.

Sounded more like envy than disrespect

In my usual not paying attention to detail way...
Wifes cousin offered us a cooker they had in the cellar to replace our functional but knackered gas cooker. Took him up on the deal. Transported his cooker to ours. Took our cooker out and had the scrap man pick it up. Put new old cooker in. Got a gas fitter in to hook it up. Hadnt noticed it was dual fuel. Plugged it in. Tripped the circuit. Got electrician from the pub in. Ran a 30amp cable across with all the proper stuff. Plugged it in. Tripped the circuit. It's shorting internally. Get the oven fixing guy round. It's too fucked to bother fixing. Money I dont have to no needs to be spent on a new cooker.

Im going to regret asking this, but any thoughts on affordable gas cookers that arent shit and just about the brand?

Is that the one that sat for so long it broke the first time you turned it on?

Dual fuel is the way to go.

When I first moved to Canada the first big project we did was to remodel our kitchen and I bought a $5K Kenmore Pro range. When we sold that house and moved to Toronto we took it with us and that range was the centerpiece of the next kitchen remodel. Six years later when we sold that house the buyers insisted it stay, so I agreed and told myself I'd buy another one when I remodeled the kitchen at the new place. I didn't though and regret it.

To this day it's the only kitchen appliance I've ever missed. Moral of the story: don't cheap out on your cooker. Buy something good, it will make a world of difference to how you enjoy your cooking.
