Agreed, what the fuck is an easy peeler?

Exactly! They're mandarins. Or Clementines. Small orange things.

Really? easy peeler used to also be a term used when trying to pick up late in the evening, when you had failed on your first target lol

The fuck! What idiot came up with that name?

Actually I can't even remember seeing a mandarin when I lived up there.

Maybe one of MR's Carney mates.

Yeah you would have seen Satsumas or Clementines.

Please leave one alone whilst one enjoys his morning muesli.

I hate office birthday celebrations. A bunch of people singing a shit song half-heartedly to justify getting a piece of shitty cake afterwards.

I’ve been lucky that in my last three workplaces we have had awesome cake makers and no singalongs.

My minion two jobs ago makes awesome old school cakes (banana cake, chocolate etc) and she still makes me one for my birthday now. One of the girls at my current job is a fancy cake baker so we get these for everyone’s birthday.

Sorry for going against the grain of the thread.

Showoffs. I really fucken hate showoffs.

All we need now is some piston wristed gibbon to say his wife likes sex.

Avocados. Treated like a farking delicacy. They're pretty shit.

Indeed. Add whitebait to that list too. Both soooooooo fucken bland yet seen as something only the culturally elite indulge in.

This, my wife thinks it's odd I have had the same home made muesli every morning for the last 19 years. In fact I get the shits when I have to have Christmas pancakes for breakfast.

Huh? Whitebait is shit and the only person in my family who likes it is my mum. She's from Wallaceville.

‘Delicacy’ is probably the wrong word but people rave about it and it’s expensive.

Nothing wrong with Wallaceville, I was there recently, parked the car and it still had all its wheels and wasn’t on blocks when I returned.

I hate office birthday celebrations

Why the qualification? I hate birthdays full stop. Mine - other peoples. Almost as fucking awful as Christmas.

No one in my office would dare have a cake, or even mention it's their birthday. I've even succeeded in driving Xmas underground. No secret santa, no decorations. They get to go home at 2pm Xmas Eve - isn't that enough?

Bah fucking humbug.

I remember years ago I was expected to put in for a present for a woman I worked with who I couldn’t stand who was having a baby. Some people were putting in $40-50. Fuuuuuuuck that. I wouldn’t have given her 10 cents out of principle.

I hate that!

To avoid that we just get flowers and a $100 gift card on the company. No whip arounds. Interflora look after the nice thing to say on the card along with "From the team at ….."

I'm kind of the same as @dogmeat but I love Christmas for the social aide and eating/drinking.

All the presents to and from me can be kept out of it though. I hate shopping for something that I have no idea if they actually want it. Mrs Hooroo is the hardest to shop for.

@MN5 plenty of foods classed as delicacies are over-rated IMO.

Whitebait, while I like fritters, I dont go lala over them, crayfish, nice, but I'd have scallops every day over it!

Paua, no thanks.

Oysters as well. Give me mussels or salmon any day.
