Bought a Ginter's pasty yesterday (€2.69). It said on the packet that it contained 20% beef. I couldn't find any though. I won't buy another.

Technically it probably did. Lips and hooves are still part of the cow, innum.

Have to be amongst the worst pasties ever made, a disgrace to the region.

Off to Paington and Torquay,  going by car no free bus for me today.

oil paint is taking an eternity to dry

If I remember rightly, the packaging tastes better than the contents.

After gall stones earlier this year (3 days in hospital, turned Homer Simpson yellow) I don't eat pasties anymore. I miss them more and more with each passing day.

Wore gloves and hat today for the first time this winter. Got a bit warm so I took them off.

Under what circumstances is wearing a vest acceptable behaviour?

Only if you're an Italian American, of course the vest then has to be referred to as a wife beater.

Wear a vest when your shirt isn't long enough to tuck in.

ive just started wearing my longjohns

I used to have a nice M&S vest. It was very comfy and as Z said perfect for tucking in when your shirt wasn't long enough. I'm not saying I miss it now it's gone, but I've not been able to find one as soft and comfy since. Maybe I do miss it. No, no, I definitely miss it.

If you buy it three sizes too big.....you'll be able to tuck it into the top of your wellies.

Tis true. When you get the wrong side of 40 there's a certain inevitability that before long you'll be wearing things for comfort rather than 'style'. You know old father time is catching up with you when you actually look forward to the new pair of xmas slippers...

Thick wooly socks

Start my extra working day next week. Up to 3 now and thats my lot.

I don't like vests, so I don't wear them

Vests are we all over the hill. ffs just put another replica shirt on

The thing about vests is they are just so beautifully mundane. I saw a man earlier, who wasn't a milkman (at least I don't think he was as I never stopped to enquire) wearing fingerless gloves. That's just wrong isn't it?

Another rest day, collect paper make a cup of tea and it was back to bed. Up now wife made breakfast, consisted of half a grapefruit followed by a bowl of poridage containing half a banana.

Have changed to tablets in a blister pack. have to take eight every morning.

The digger driver up the road had just finished levelling about eighty tons of mud and spoil the council took from the hedge bottoms recently, he'd done a really cracking job. Shame he's got to move it now, right across one of my gateways, how FOOKIN thick are some of these people?
