Sakes. Out of interest, what's the alternative for you? On a tray or (shudders) straight on the wire rack. A wee brush of oil on the tin foil should stop any of your angst.

19QOS19 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Even the simplest story is filled with irrelevant details. Instead of saying, for example, "Edna at work got that promotion she applied for", I'll get: "I was speaking to Edna his afternoon. It must have been about half past two because it was after that parcel was delivered but before my three o'clock meeting. Edna's the one that's married to Norman the accountant and lives in Moonee Ponds, they've got two kids. Anyway I was speaking to her and she told me that last Friday... or was it Thursday? Oh no it must have been Thursday because Edna has every other Friday off and she's working this week. So on Thursday, Jim the team leader, he's the one I told you about that sings in a choir in his spare time, called Edna not long after our morning team meeting and told her he had some news for her. Turns out she got that promotion she applied for." I know a couple of folk who do this. I've recently found myself mentally editing their dialogue for brevity during the one-way conversation. I think I started doing it out of boredom without realising it, at first. One day I'll grow the balls to parrot my summary back to them and give notes on delivery.You're both missing a trick if you haven't done the Winston Ingram fast forward motion here. I regularly do this both with the Mrs and my mum. If you get it just right they skip to the end but if you get it right and them on an off day you hit the jackpot with them telling you to f**k off and not bothering to tell you the story at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I make it to old age, I can definitely see me moaning, "OH GOD IS THIS EVER GOING TO END". You start off wondering why so many of the elderly are rude and irascible, but gradually realise it's a perk and start looking forward to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And straight out the windows that are open to let fresh air in. We actually had to open most of the windows to let this evening's blow-back go somewhere. Would seem that the whirling granny's fooked, and I'd rather not venture up a roof currently coated in several inches of snow. Eta: last year she was always complaining about it being cold until I discovered that she had all the vents along the tops of the windows constantly open. Turns out she knew this and eventually then complained that "it gets stuffy when they're closed".
