@squirrel chan's fuck-up hour: come for the video games, stay to watch her hope slowly fade away while playing an indescribably bad Dilbert game

@rey that and we're the ones who came up with apple pie and fried chicken

@rey hey, the majority of our cuisine has been tested and refined over centuries

Apart from prawn cocktails and tikka masala which are from the 1970's

@rey although it may be mixed with mayonnaise to create "cocktail sauce" which is used for a prawn cocktail

@rey I mean, you can switch it out for ketchup if you like but we'll quietly tut at you

@rey the brown sauce is a required element

And of course a BLT has brown sauce in, need to drown out the taste of that salad

@rey of course, with the aforementioned brown sauce

@rey yep, a BLT with all the extraneous stuff removed

@rey also in many areas ketchup is referred to as "red sauce"

@rey a bacon sarnie disturbs you!? It's literally just bacon between bread!

Okay, when writing the alt text for that image I realised why I got the strange looks when I mentioned it

I have been informed that Brown Sauce is an entirely British Isles thing

What the hell do the rest of you put in your bacon sarnies?

*notices city-wide power brownouts*

...someone's playing with the robot I see...

My mum has apparently been looking for replacement hob scraper blades for quite some time, making do with just scrubbing the hell out it

Been looking in all the shops, no luck

She tells me about it and I of course have no idea where you'd find "hob scraper blades"

I take a look and it turns out they're literally just standard razor blades with "hob scraper blade" written on it

She now has plenty after I raided my shaving kit

@squirrel heh, probably, yeah

But the dream of giant 10Ah lipos is alive and well
