Chat Thread: Tokyo Drift

So I've not gone veggie but often by veggie things now to normally chuck into my stir-fry and basically only eat Fish & Chicken.

Also joined the Lib Dems, like you do.

Why would a tory join the lib dems?

And why would you buy veggie stuff in stir-fries when you could have beef?

(Apart from on ethical/climate grounds, natch, which I have nothing but the deepest respect for.)

Because I'm not a Tory, sure I have some Tory views and I have some Labour views but the last 3 general elections 2 out of 3 I voted Lib Dem and I was for remain.

I don't really like Beef and as I'm lazy the lime & chilli or the spicy strips that quorn do is easier then me doing something with chicken.

You can have a great veggie stir fry, and a great veggie chilli, and a great veggie spaghetti bolognese.

Exactly Mr Not Jones

I raise my eyes especially at the veggie bolognese. I've had a fair few quorn attempts, none of which went down well. Don't get me wrong, I believe it can be done, but it's clearly an art.

It is an art... but I was never able to cook mince in my meat-eating days.

Good on ye Mas, I would like to head back to vegetarianism but it won't be until I'm living alone again, so probably after my Japan adventure.

I'm not sure it is as I'm like a casual gamer of vegetarians, the hardcore PC Master Race would be Vegans but with also like no Sugar etc.

Okay, I take it back,you're terrible and in hate you. Eat a fucking carrot

Reminds me of dinner time as a lad.

'...a ****ing carrot' makes me think of 'radishing' from Blackadder...

All this talk of vegatables and I be sitting here like

I mean, I am too, but I recognise that I'm a worse person for it.

I definitely am: tomorrow, the Double Down finally comes to the UK, a day I dreamed of for like a decade. I think I first read about it in an old NOM, they used to harp on about KFC quite a lot.

Friday the 13th yesterday! Did anyone experience any bad luck? I had to cover a couple of lessons for a colleague, but I knew it was happening: planned bad luck, I suppose.

It was the Friday before a period of annual leave and I didn't have to stay late. I'd call that good luck.

Of course, there's always the possibility I did a piece of work wrong in my hurry to leave on time, and I'll come back to find everyone angry with me... worried now.

All I can think of is that my girlfriend had a friend stay over so there was no hanky panky.

Obvs I don't believe in that. But actually Friday 13th was a complete shitter, work wise. I'm not looking forward to going back tomorrow...

Eeps.  Hope it wasn't too bad Jimmers.  Can relate, I'm worried about having left things in the wrong way on Friday.  At least I have a bit longer before I have to face up to my actions...

I sold a item on eBay awhile ago for £115, and the buyer said they've not had it.

I sent with tracking which says they got it and I've spoken to Royal Mail who also have said they've delivered it but will investigate it after 2 weeks or so, Royal Mail have told me no different (they didn't seem to bothered) and keep saying it's on going.

I've been talking to the buyer and telling them the same as what I've been told, today they opened a case on eBay saying they've not got the item and they want a refund. I contacted eBay to see where I stand as from my point of view, it's been sent, it has been delivered and the royal mail have said the same and a £115 refund and no item is a lot for me to lose.

I also I explained I get where the buy is coming from as if it hasn't turned up unlike what Royal Mail are saying a £115 is a lot of money to lose and no item for them, it's a lose-lose situation.

eBay said they'll look into and about 30mins later they've closed the case, and I guess you'll say they ruled in my favour as I've not got to refund it etc, I don't know if eBay length and feedback played any part as I've on it for 15 years and got 100% 1400 rating.

Now I don't know if the buyer was trying to scam me or who knows maybe the post-person may have done something with it which makes it look like it has been delivered when it hasn't, I don't know.

I feel bad now because if it is the latter then this buyer has just lost £115 and has no item. Not sure what to do but felt I needed to tell someone, what has happened.

Urgaah. That's a strange one. The whole system is based on trust, isn't it, really? I suppose you, in turn, just have to trust that the right thing has been done in this situation.

Yeah that's why I left it to eBay with all the information I've been given.
