Occasional business transactions, yes.
Ah... back to the hookers and blow; cross-thread tie-in.

I cant remember what thread got hijacked by dental war stories, but fuck dental work!!! Just had 2x fillings, one in a too wisdom tooth that the dentist said was so decayed he thought about just ripping it out today. I've just had 3x panadeine forte tablets and now I cant feel my legs, but my fucking jaw is throbbing like a muthafucka!!!

Great. Thanks for that. I've been considering going to a dentist, but I'm shit-scared.
I've got the screw for an implant put in about 14 years ago, for which I never got the actual tooth part put on top, as I left NZ. Just an entire tooth-shaped filling which was supposed to be a place-filler. And haven't seen a dentist since. Now that I'm back, I know I should go get it sorted, along with all the complications that have inevitably arisen, and all the other issues from not having seen a dentist in 14 years.
Maybe I need to source some higher-class drugs before I commit to that. (Plus, build up the savings a bit... ACC should cover the implant, and hopefully direct complications... but I hate to think of what the "extras" will probably cost) -
Protein bars / snack bars. Why does every manufacturer assume that all people want I something sweet and/or chocolatey? I know a lot of people can't get enough chocolate but I'm not that fussed TBH. Why doesn't anybody make a bar that has something savoury going on?

It's called a beirstick, Biltong, or dry/droerwors. All as tasty as each other!

Biltong
Gotta love biltong.
I love biltong but these guys do the best dry wors I have ever had. I work at the mount a couple of days a week and over indulge constantly.
Highly Recommend. (They deliver too)

@Tim said in Grumpy Old Man:
@Hooroo Nice, will check them out. I ate a packet of biltong while watching TV last night.
If you are feeling a little spendy, buy an uncut fatty biltong and also 1 kg of Dry wors! I promise it is worth it. (If you only buy 500g of dry wors you will kick yourself

Biltong is food of the gods, the packaged stuff from the supermarket is ok but the real stuff from a genuine South African shop is nothing short of outstanding. So good with a beer or two. Better yet everyone I know doesn’t like it so I don’t have to share.....then again I’m a fluffybunny so I probably wouldn’t anyway

@dogmeat said in Grumpy Old Man:
@Hooroo I make my own Biltong - easy as. I'm told it's addictive. Certainly I can never keep up with requests for more
How do you do it?
I bought this box thing from SA that just has an incandescent light bulb in it and it works a treat but I have a dehydrator that I use for chillies , herbs from the garden, etc and thought that might work as well. Proper "candle" light bulbs are getting difficult to find.
The chopper / slicer thing is great too. Worth investing in.
-
@Snowy I use a dehydrator I use silverside as a relatively cheap, lean cut. Slice it up, rub it in the DM secret spice mix (AKA whatever I feel like at the time but generally a mix of chilli, cumin, coriander and smoked paprika) and then marinade in thick soy sauce overnight

Well... of course. I assumed everybody's was... Mr internet-connected motorcycle AI.

Why do people presume they can call and attempt to pat a puppy they don't own? It's in training to ignore strangers.
