BFTD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 The old PTTGOYN standard, the automated phone menu system. On this occasion, menu systems that don't follow a logical progression. "For an option you don't want, press 1. For another, press 2. For the option you want, press 4. For a tetchy auld witch who'll act like you're an idiot and hang up on you, press 3." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 The wife when she heats up soup. It's always scalding hot and she insists that there is no way around this. The most annoying part is she's Asian (not in itself an issue) thus much of the food served up is lukewarm as standard. And kettles - she also fills it up way more than necessary meaning it takes much longer to boil. She insists it makes no difference. She must have shares in the utility companies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalding hot soup is understandable, especially if it's a broth-type, unless you want a dodgy tummy. As for the kettle, there are plenty of videos on YouTube that will explain thermodynamics. I've threatened the daughter with these and it seems to have done the trick! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Re: the soup thing. Do you not just wait five minutes until it's cooled down? I had this conversation with my son when he was wee, as he thought leftovers should be microwaved until they're hot enough to eat. Which is fine, if you're OK with seeing it come back up the way again in a few hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are heating something up, there is a core temperature that needs to be reached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed it was because there was no food getting put out, but now I realise that it's because there's nobody to spy on when we're away.

Bairnardo Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 If I'm microwaving leftovers, I very rarely if ever take them to piping hot. Never did me any harm etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I microwave soup until it starts to boil in on the inside of the dish, but I don't like cold soup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I had microwave-reheated lasagne for lunch (leftovers from last night). Brings out the oily juicy goodness or something. Regardless of the cause, it always tastes better the next day. Anyone who disagrees deserves nothing but cardboard for their breakfast, lunch & dinner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not microwaved that doesn't, unless your tongue has been wiped out by the volcanic hot spots already. Curries, stews etc. are a different story. Reheated pasta belongs in the oven, where it can be both heated through and baked to extra crispy levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Why is it that every sports person or singer thinks they'll be a good actor? Watching Road House and as much as it is a shit movie anyway when that absolute w****r Conor McGregor appears then proceeds to put in the worst acting performance I've ever seen. Post Malone was also shite at the start, should've turned off there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually don't - it's just that, when they get famous enough, film producers start offering them silly money to be in their films. Certainly won't hurt the box office if MC Spanky Wump Nuttz's fan base turns out to see them embarrass themselves. Makes you wonder how many of them turn it down. There's a rumour* that Michael Winner tried to get Nigel Mansell to take over from Charles Bronson in the Death Wish films. * that I just made up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk like Laurence Olivier used to be offended at having to work with people who hadn't spent at least a decade on stage pursuing The Bard. He'd probably have thought Gyllenhaal was an amateur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
