Guest Moomintroll Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I should've been clearer but I wasn't expecting a cross-examination. I bought them yesterday, the 8th. I realised an hour ago they were dated the 9th, today. Hence the midnight deadline. Shops selling food that goes out of date in 6 hours are effectively selling out of date food. It's a scurrilous practice. All my other items are dated until the middle of next week so can be eaten at my leisure. Not under this intense pressure. They really aren't. There is a massive difference between best before dates and use by dates. People need to learn that there are no food safety issues there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still using a bag of Turmeric that went out of date in 2014. And my Bisto granules are older then some players in the SPFL. Use by is a load of shite as well. If it's brown, drink it down smelling OK, eat away. If it's black, send it back smelling like pee, get it in the fucking sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent many years going to night clubs and gigs where I heard the greatest tune I have ever heard for years, never to hear these tunes again. Now I barely go out a couple of times a year and I can wake up the next day and know exactly what the best tunes of the night were. It's how I get my next DJ set sorted. It works for me even though House/Techno is various beeps, so therefore I imagine if you're Shazaming the latest Bronski Beat, Erasure or Pet Shop Boys tracks the technology will give you fantastic results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if it's the 8th and you buy food dated for the 9th don't complain about the shop selling stuff that's out of date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll sort it: Buy food dated 9th on day number 8? Don't complain that it's out of date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowArab Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Could we briefly digress to “naked Polish birds”? Just back from a late gym/swim/sauna and misty eyed members told me that had I been along earlier this evening there were two “model standard” “naked Polish birds” in the sauna. I've been struggling to find a genuine sauna in Edinburgh. Where do you go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalmahoy - not exactly in town but handy for me. Dalry swim centre has two saunas too. The One Spa at the Sheraton has an amazing thermal suite and outdoor rooftop heated pool but it costs a fortune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I once did that with an old microwave and took it to the garden and filled it with metal stuff and watched it explode. It was fun. I used to work for a now defunct TV rental company and as an apprentice got paid to smash TV screens with a sledgehammer, which would invariably implode. In a skip. I have never topped this in a work related sense. Deeply satisfying. ETA the televisions would implode not the hammer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
