Craster, I love you like a brother*, and I'm glad we're totally in sync about who needs rules.

If you start dissing pastrami, however, then we're gonna come to blows, boy. And not the sexy kind.

Nowt wrong with pastrami. It is, however ham (cow ham), and doesn't need it's own type of bread.

I had that argument with the missus as she does the same. She also pronounces "half" as "haff" and "pint" as "point", which obviously starts my face twitching.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner where I'm from. Mind you, it's the only place in England to still have Lower, Middle and Upper schools (I think).

Breakfast
Lunch/dinner (interchangeable)
Tea

I tend not to use "dinner" at all due to its semantic ambiguity, and that.

No, Selly Oak. She has an Irish surname though, so I wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't inherited these accent remnants from ancestors.

That sounds quite like the accent here.

Dinner if you sit up at the table, tea if you're sat in the front room in front of the telly.

I've decided to pay the cockerney pie and mash shop a visit. £3 and you're full up for the rest of the day.

I had a grande burrito for lunch, accompanied by Salty Dog crisps.

The burrito rules. It is full of chilli, rice, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, mexican beans and cheese. It is unfathomably delicious (and equally bad for me, I am sure).

Today it's been a caramac, some quavers, some homemade pasta & sauce, and, of course, a star bar.

Either gym or run later for me too.

I thought it was made of beef?

EDIT: oh 'cow ham'. It didn't compute, sorry.

A colleague got Domnos delivered

5 large pizzas plus sides and puddings

All for a paltry £1 tip each for the driver (she used to work there so got the food gratis).

There's a nice but pricey American deli in Cardiff that does tasty pastrami-sarnies. Also, cute New Yawk girl behind the counter last time I was there.

I love bagels. Bagels and cream cheese. Bagels and cream chese and lox. YUM. BAGELS. :p

I've gone off tipping anybody since I found out that the nurse that saved Grimlet's life wasn't actually allowed to accept a gift of any kind.
Now giving money to the pizza boy seems all kinds of fucked up.

It's in my contract I can't accept any form of tips and/or hospitality without prior written permission by the manager. Who is a twunt.

To be perfectly honest the few times I have been tipped I didn't really think "Oh no, musn't take the free money".

I used to work at a Booker Cash & Carry. Now and again, staff would be 'asked' to help load cars and vans for customers. The thing with Bookers is that people didn't buy, say, a bottle of Coke—they bought several cases of the stuff. And so, you'd spend a half hour lifting a half-ton of crap into someone's van. Every now and again, someone would tip you a couple of quid, and, laughably, we were supposed to put this into a tips jar, so it would be shared equally. The reason: "It's not fair on the guys on tills and reception otherwise, because they have no opportunity to earn tips". No, but the sod on reception also got to sit on his arse all day, barking orders, rather than doing any work. Gnh.

This. Except at Makro the Management take the tip AND IT IS NEVER SPOKEN OF AGAIN.

Damn receptionists complaining about how much they had to put up with. Do they not realise I was working pretty hard hiking crap about *as well as* putting up with the customers they were getting a hard time from as they came round the store? And getting the same wage?

BAH.

However I do get to bomb about in a WAVE all day, which they don't. WHEEE!

I had that, except I had tea instead. What flavour crisps? Mine were sweet chilli. Not nearly chilli enough though.

Steak and Onion. Alright I suppose.

A sandwich can be referred to as a butty with the following fillings:

1) Chips
2) Fish fingers
3) Sausages
4) Bacon.

Not humous and rocket. That is simply unacceptable.

I can't always spell sandwich though :-S

I'm having fish fingers and chips for tea, there will be butties involved too ;)
