Kebab vans .... so rare. I fancy a kebab now. I've got the takeaway secret recipe for kebabs - and I've already spent time gathering the spices.... all I need do is buy the mince one day. The few times I've checked in Lidl for lamb mince they didn't have it... but one day ... I'll make kebab meat.
I am going to be complete slob and go out in search of a kebab van. I may look a bit out of place as I am still dressed for work and will have my cashmere coat on.
Mostly, instead of a kebab, I ask for "kebab meat only". Usually a huge enough portion without the pitta.0 -

OH's party has been cancelled this year. They are all still getting their Xmas hampers though. Something had to go and it was decided that staff appreciated their hampers more.
We call that a result!
We do well on the hampers, what starts off as a mixed bag of treats ends up with treats being swapped around, so all the meat goes and we end up with lots of smoked salmon.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

In about 35 years of Xmas experience in jobs ..... I've known one company give a fresh fruit 'hamper' (my first year at work) ... another gave a bottle of wine ... and that's it. So my total haul in a lifetime's been some fruit and some wine.OH's party has been cancelled this year. They are all still getting their Xmas hampers though.

He's emailing 'why did you say I had to come to this? Its interminable. This (thing they are doing as a fun thing before the party) is brainless.'
And
' how noone notices xxxxx is off his head is beyond me, or are we all just to polite to mention it?'0 -
Having a quick Google, 35 seemes to be deemed "high", so I've put the thermomenter back on me to see if it goes higher.0

Not a problem for men.
We just look distinguished.

Xmas hampers.

Regular body temperature is 37 degrees
Below 35 is hypothermic... It would be better to check your forehead or your armpit for a decent reading.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
