scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I have never fully eaten a banana. I'll take one bite and genuinely boke from the taste. Stick a single slice of banana in a punch bowl and I'll know instantly that it's in there even if I hadn't actually seen or eaten that slice. I'm generally known amongst friends as the guy that will eat almost anything, but banana is truly yellow kryptonite to me. Strangely, I'm quite fond of dried banana (different taste, nothing to do with texture) and everyone loves banana flavoured food, largely because a foam banana has never seen a real banana in its life.I don't mind banana bread, in fact I'd go as far as saying it's pretty good. Don't know what it is with bananas just the very thought is enough to drive me to dry heaving. Wee bit like that with coffee as well, though at least I have actually tasted it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've never watched Children in Need. Like, I've never even been channel-hopping and discovered it was on. I always seem to remain blissfully ignorant of exactly when it's happening too - the last few years, I've just noticed they've got the one-eyed bear merchandise in the supermarkets, so I knew it was coming at some point, but not exactly when. Do they do a really poor job of advertising the exact date, or is my superpower managing to avoid this? Also, is it any good? Have I missed decades of quality programming? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asda have this one rail of branded T-shirts & pyjamas that they drag out every year and dump in the same place. Think they've had the same stuff for years. They've definitely had it out at some point since lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it that it supports vulnerable children across the country, however, there are so many smug celebrities looking fucking sad that you can tolerate in a lifetime. Covid-19 has given rise to similar opportunists, I make reference to the Halifax adverts of late and any other bunch of money grabbing b*****ding institutions that want your money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It and Red nose Day had its moments in the early days, my pal was actually on it this year and his 3 mins were good. I wouldn't go out your way to watch the whole thing, I get fucked off that some basic things like schools with people with special educational needs are funded by people's generosity and don't have a blank cheque from the government. But it helps that the p***k who was on Radio 2 has snuffed it and is no longer taking a fee, can't remember his name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was paid an annual fee by the BBC of about 9k for CiN, but donated it (and more) straight to the charity every year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it came out in a FOI request that he had been paid a minimal inflation adjusted fee since he presented the first one, and that he had never renegotiated that contract. He probably could have, and avoided the shite, but I suppose equally it guaranteed another 9k going to the charity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, now my eyes are watering and i can't stop wincing at the thought of my calcified tendons ripping one fibre at a time. It's not quite as bad as the post someone made about a bellend papercut but it's close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) "Bellend Papercut" is a phrase that should be on the big list of unacceptable phrases, along with "Perineal Tearing", "Toddler V****a", and Semprini. Edit: none of these would look out of place on the tracklist of a Cannibal Corpse album, possibly put together in a complete sentence.
