minor things that make you fume

[WA Toffee]

Just stab it with your steely knife, to let the steam out when heating, then after cut around film with said steely knife

(You can check out any time you want but you can never leave - Just sayin like.)

Rookie mistake. Some films have micro-perforations built into them which release the steam at a specific rate. These types of film shouldn't be pierced as it will affect the heat transfer in the meal and you will end up with a meal which is undercooked. When you then just chuck it in for another minute, it loses excess moisture and you are left with a dry meal which is cooked unevenly.

The little plastic gubbins on a loaf ; end up tearing off half the loaf bag trying to open the damn thing

Games companies who release incomplete games and take years to fix them.

Applying the film to the tray requires 3 settings to be correct - temperature, time and pressure. These settings will be specified in the procedures and will ensure a complete seal while also allowing it to peel off in one piece.

However, over time, debris builds up on the sealing head and rather than take it off to clean it, sometimes they just increase one of the settings so that they can keep the line running. Usually this results in the film attaching too hard and it will fail to peel properly.

Boring as hell I know, but there you go.

I'm amazed you know this

You are the font of all food film knowledge. Absolute guru

Snowing outside....

Out relatively early this morning with the mutt. The number of people that passed me saying "didn't know it was going to be this cold"
Don't people bother with even the most broad weather forecast. All week we've been told today is going to be nitherring. That north wind sure is blowing.

Got home last night to read that one of my favourite artists is doing an online gig.

Perfect, even the timing worked out well as it ended up being 9 pm on a Saturday night (was worried is its an American thing)

Got to the end of the transaction and there was a 3 quid admin fee! What the hell for? It's not even a real thing!

The number of times Maccies drive through get my order wrong. I like a plain hamburger and they like to give me a normal one regardless of what I say. Cant be bothered to rejoin the queue to get it changed so thats 99p down the pan when it happens.

Mate Maccies are that bad you wouldn't be surprised if you got home and they'd given you a KFC.

Young people on Pointless, who, to justify their ignorance, claim,

'it's a bit before my time'

Like history only started in 2000.

@LEONARD You just watched it by any chance?

I hate that. Noticed a big change as soon as I came to live in Spain. It's horrendous how Loud the incidental music comes at me after struggling to hear the dialogue. Then when the adverts* come on it's even louder.

*Adverts over here is another thing that makes me fume. Literally half an hour of adverts before a film starts. Advert breaks of increasing length as the film draws to it's conclusion. Often culminating in 15, 20 or 25 minute advert break before the last 15 seconds of the film. Not exaggerating. I wish I was.

They do the same in the Czech Republic

Virgin Media customer service absolutely diabolical. My VM package was disconnected in February when I moved to Sky. They owe me about £70, but, they’ve made error after error and getting the money refunded is proving to be impossible.

They are MILES better than KFC though.

KFC are utterly shambolic, have been for years. Its not even hard stuff to get right, you can tell them you want a coke and a tango at the first window, they will confirm it with you, have a discussion about it and then 5 seconds later you are sat there with two cokes.

(I don't trust people who like plain hamburgers by the way...)
