    Bastards who think that just because I'm in the kitchen refilling the jug for my coffee means that I'm up for a conversation.

    Which part of this t-shirt and this coffee cup is beyond your comprehension?

    Late to the party, but most middle-aged male cyclists are giant piston wristed gibbons

    People who can't fucking spell pistonwristedgibbons properly.

    @SynicBast what about those fluffybunnies that need to chat in a lift. Even worse when you're forced to take off headphones. I'm going somewhere, not socialising, just fuck right off.

    Jesus yes. And if they turn round with their backs to the lift door to do it? Fuck off sunshine, you’re making everybody feel uncomfortable now, just turn around and shut up for 2 fucking minutes.

    There are no friends in a lift.

    Farting can be fun too as long as you choose work colleagues who’ll laugh as opposed to go to HR

    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!

    @JC I like Larabars, but I don't know if you can get them in NZ. Not savoury, but tart and less sweet. A lot more fruit and nuts to them.

    @voodoo ice. When I had my fucked up wisdom teeth out (all 4 wts plus two neighbours for good measure) I wouldn't have managed without ice (The frozen water kind, not the narcotic... that may help though ...)

    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)

    @Hooroo I make my own Biltong - easy as. I'm told it's addictive. Certainly I can never keep up with requests for more

    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
