The drivers side air vent knob falls apart in my hands in my wifes near new car. It turns out to be three easily breakable and fiddly pieces which can only be assembled by removing the dash and vent, so I spend an hour with various tools and manage to figure out a way to install it with removing the dash.

I finally get it installed, and to check it's got the right range of movement I reach over and check the passenger side vent knob. That one then comes apart i my hands.


FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Lucky this one only took 5 mins to get in.

Fellow long time RB'ers who often make a jackass of themselves and you think you're on the same page as having a bit of fun, who get sandy vaginas....and when you pm them trying to wash it out for them, they're too much of a dick to even reply....even to tell you to fuck of an die. Meh. Eat a dick, you. :noidea:

especially delicious when cooked gently with onions, garlic, cloves, nutmeg, and a dash of apple cider vinegar and served with the aforementioned white sauce... then you make soup out of the cooking water with the leftover silverside and a heap of vegies.

So you don't boil the crap out of it and serve it with a mucousy white sauce like my mum used to? Ooh, and brussel sprouts boiled until they smell like farts on the side?

Haha my mum went to the same cooking school. Bring to boil in the pot then simmer for an hour per kilo. Put some cloves and pepper corns into the water too.

Tastes even better the next day.

are you my long-lost brother, Pastavore?

yes, my mother cooked it that way too. and unfortunately, so does my mother-in-law.....

LTIH - my MIL's cooking. she's the only person i know (apart from my older sister, who is about the same age!) who can turn every piece of meat she cooks into leather. especially the chicken that she stuffs with margarine :barf:

I would also like to nominate my mum for membership in the Can't Cook Silverside club.

And steak. You shouldn't have to chew each bite for two minutes before it's ready to be swallowed.

LTIH - margarine, the most disgusting substance on the planet. Why the hell would you stuff a chicken with it? Might as well use 50w motor oil, or alternatively, kitty litter, at least she'd have an excuse for it being dry.

I hate the amount of threads that have risen lately that show the tenderness of some of our members. Please stop posting threads that question some of your morals and stop taking offence to the smallest things that aren't really that big a deal..............

LTIH. That my mum thinks Abbott is worthy of being PM because he keeps fit and cycles, but that Gillard isn't, because she has a nose like a witch.:rant:
