The way they clean off salmonella bacteria in America means they need to stay refrigerated shortly after the cleaning process.

I think the UK does it differently since the salmonella scare a while back, so they don't need to be refrigerated.

Ideally I would need to buy 2 or 3 at a time and be done with, a bit like fags when we were at school.

Shoving past you, only interested in photo opportunities, snorting their phlegm really loudly and like locusts when it comes to buffet breakfasts. Money doesn’t buy taste or class.

Roast ****** with all the trimmings

If you are including "all the trimmings" , I would expect a choice of

Roast potatoes
new potatoes
steamed carrots
steamed cabbage
steamed cauliflower
Cauliflower cheese
parsley sauce
Mustard (English and French)
Cumberland sauce
Horseradish sauce
fried onions
stuffing
chipolatas
Brussels sprouts
peas
green beans
fried potato slices
steamed courgette slices
steamed asparagus
gravy



Restaurant owners, please think again. Unless you can get at least 9 out of 10 of the above, it is not "All the trimmings". It is just a few vegetables.

You haven't experienced the shitting with doors open. Not flushing the toilet, one after another so the the toilet is full to the seat with shit and when that happens they start shitting on the floor.

The barging straight into you as if you are invisible and when you are carrying a baby. The shocked and offended faces when you don't magically move for them when not carrying a baby.

Them blocking everywhere by the hundreds and not letting anyone through.

Every seat in the airport 'reserved' with their bags. Even doing this in airport restaurants where they have bought nothing before being told to leave.

The sitting down at your dinner table as if you weren't there even though there are plenty of empty tables then proceeding to shout to each other not talk, eat with their mouths open and push your stuff aside. Then be offended when you ask them what the **** they are doing and to leave.

Their complete disregard of any queues and just barge to the front in their hundreds.

Being pissed out their faces at 10am in the airport walking (barely able to) around the toilet room with their cock out spraying piss everywhere then leaving the toilet and everywhere covered in piss.

They are simply the worst, like greedy pack animals. I worked in Asia for two years and it never ceased to amaze me their selfishness. I used to walk down the street with my briefcase acting as a snowplough rather than have them barge me. I would trip people that tried to jump the queue. I wouldn't dream of doing that anywhere else. Mainly because I wouldn't have to.

Pointing out the site they are quoting from might not actually be the best source of accurate information and it’s made clear that they know better. On one occasion she was quoting from the Daily Mail Heath pages FFS.

You've got it. Recently my GP kept insisting I had a certain symptom which I didn't have, all due to the online diagnoses program saying that it should be a major symptom and not having it caused confusion. The internet has a lot of crap on it medically wise that you have to disregard but I'm starting to go fully armed with more information on the specific subject than them?. Saying that I've learnt not to try to tell them as they don't seem to like it! But when you see even a basic 'dip' test done incorrectly you have to bite your lip (this then treated by googling!).

Here comes the first part right now: TL; We will now be going for a short commercial break after which we will see how this combines with DR to form the satire.

Welcome back. Before the break we saw how Little Fozzie was developing a satirical take on our inability to focus on anything for more than 5 seconds by the use of the urban slang abbreviation TL;DR. We have already seen the first part of that and here it is again to remind you: TL. Now we are about to see how it will be combined with the DR to give us a breathtaking and chuckle-inducing finale.TL;DR. And there it is, wasn’t that great. We will now be going for a short commercial break.

Welcome back. Before the break we saw how Little Fozzie combined the abbreviations TL and DR with the use of a semi-colon to great effect to lampoon our inability to focus on anything for more than 5 seconds. For those not familiar with urban slang, that means Too Long Didn’t Read and therefore you can see what a great choice that was. But just in case you didn’t, we’re now going to hear from a load of C-list celebrities on how they thought this was a really great use use the term TL;DR broadcast live from their zanily decorated bedsits.

Tune in next week for a great use of the abbreviation STFU by our resident poet Maidstoned Eagle.
