RANT CORNER
My Mum was a teacher. She could spot a sick kid with ease. My sister (2 years older than me) had her tonsils removed so my Mum was well acquainted with genuine illness. And despite having standard childhood colds her examination of my throat always led to "you're fine".
And she was right. Uncomfortable though it was. Lord knows how many of my schoolmates I infected.
The worst cold I had accompanied by halucinations occured over a weekend, so I was back in school on Monday.
Even when I broke my arm Dad delivered me to school by car, for 1 day. The one and only time that happened. How times have changed!

If you buy bacon in a plastic box that's gonna happen, but they need to because its 50% water. Our butcher wraps everything in paper, the greengrocer uses paper bags too. Real shops, real product, 'real' people making a decent wage.
You're certainly right about the water in bacon. Fry a couple of rashers and you've got a swimming pool!ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:38 pmIf you buy bacon in a plastic box that's gonna happen, but they need to because its 50% water.

I've heard some butchers don't use colouring in their meat. It looks off to people used to buying from supermarkets but it's actually supermarket meat that looks as bright red as a traffic light that's abnormal.
My advice in hot weather is drink your beer quickly and have a cigarette before opening another can. If you're not careful, the last swig of beer is like drinking warm coffee!
