I did in fact add cheese XD

Partner is popping out to visit his sister so I am home alone. Just going to stay propped up in bed I think.

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 03:50 PM

Cheeessseeee!!!

That sounds sensible jen!

long road 29-08-2023 03:54 PM

You should totally get some cheese Beckie!

I am trying my best to be sensible after a not so sensible yesterday. I have a cup of biscuit tea my partner made me just before he went out.

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 03:56 PM

I should!

Your best is all anyone can ask!

long road 29-08-2023 04:08 PM

What's your favourite kind of cheese?

I think mine is either a good quality cheddar or Wensleydale and cranberry. But I like pretty much all cheese except blue cheese.

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 04:16 PM

I like so many cheeses!
Red Leicester, gouda, mozzarella, cheddar, feta...ALL the cheese!
I agree with the dislike of blue cheese though!

not_so_insig 29-08-2023 04:25 PM

I actually like blue cheese. Can't stand Red Leicester though.

long road 29-08-2023 04:28 PM

Ooh I haven't had any Gouda is such a long time.

Current treat cheese in the house is applewood smoked cheddar it is sooo good!

I think blue cheese is just a bit too smelly for me I have a very sensitive sense of smell.

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 04:30 PM

That does sound tasty!

long road 29-08-2023 04:46 PM

It's very good. Would recommend.

I am struggling a bit.

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 04:47 PM

Not really sure what to suggest!
Got any phone games you can play?

long road 29-08-2023 05:08 PM

Don't feel like you have to come up with suggestions! Just needed to 'say' I was finding things hard.

Not really don't really play mobile games anymore.. Trying to watch some YouTube to distract myself. Watching some very silly people try and improve on a pb&j sandwich

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 05:12 PM

Silly people are always fun to watch!

long road 29-08-2023 05:20 PM

It's a YouTube channel called Jolly , it's two friends one called Josh and one called Olly and they are the epitome of sillyness. Especially Olly!

The sillyness is helpin a bit.

What time is glow beats?

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 05:26 PM

That's good!

It's at 7:30

long road 29-08-2023 05:35 PM

Hope first session back goes well and that you manage not to overdo things.

Don't forget to hydrate!

nonperson 29-08-2023 05:35 PM

Oh my, the mention of blue cheese is making me reconsider my decision to not go to the shop tonight...

Stilton, Roquefort, cambozola, blue brie, blacksticks blue... Yum!

I like watching the YouTube shorts lately.

long road 29-08-2023 05:38 PM

If it's not raining I say treat yourself and get some blue cheese. Maybe some fancy crackers or french bread.

I love camebert and prosciutto on french stick. Used to eat it with grapes as my dinner sometimes as a student

nonperson 29-08-2023 05:41 PM

Its not raining but I really don't want to go out =(

That's a very fancy student dinner!

long road 29-08-2023 05:48 PM

Well maybe you can just fantasise about blue cheese. Sometimes dreaming of a food is better than actually eating the food! Because it's always perfect in your imagination.

It was when I had a lot of money at the beginning of term. But also didn't want to do any cooking XD

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 05:53 PM

Go to the shop np!
Treat yo self!

I got roasted in the sibling group chat for sharing a youtube short.

nonperson 29-08-2023 05:56 PM

Haha that is true! I might go tomorrow instead.

That makes sense. Sounds like a nice dinner though!

nonperson 29-08-2023 05:56 PM

Nooo don't make me D=

Why did you get roasted?

one_step_closer 29-08-2023 06:02 PM

I like Wensleydale with cranberries.

You're cooler than your siblings, Beckie, no matter what they think!

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 06:07 PM

Because apparently only old people share YouTube shorts.
So i shared the same video as a tiktok, and apparently that was ok :eyeroll:
I then wore my running bumbag across body, like roadmen do, to prove I'm still cool

long road 29-08-2023 06:22 PM

I must be old because I watch you tube shorts but not tik tok.

I also do not think roadmen are cool. But do think. Beckie is!

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 06:25 PM

I try not to watch tiktok because i get lost in it!

None of my family think roadmen are cool either. Lol!
Thank you jen!

long road 29-08-2023 06:33 PM

That's the reason I never downloaded tiktok. YouTube shorts still suck me in but at least I mostly go on YouTube to watch long form stuff.

Well at least they have standards XD

You are welcome but no need to thank me for telling the truth xx

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 06:42 PM

True!

Yes, they do have some XD

Aww <3

long road 29-08-2023 06:56 PM

Some standards is a good place to start XD

Cacoethes 29-08-2023 07:05 PM

It is indeed! XD
Luckily we agree on a lot of things!
Like we'd rather have a Christmas with D&D, getting drunk than doing anything outlandish!

long road 29-08-2023 07:08 PM

Christmas with drunk DND does sound fun.

My partner runs a roleplaying session for me, my brother and my Dad each year around Christmas either in person or over the internet. Usually we play call of cthulu rather than DND though.

nonperson 29-08-2023 07:31 PM

Drunk D&D sounds rather outlandish to me!

But then again, I actually am old... and watch Youtube shorts AND have no idea what roadmen are (although I think this may have been explained to me in this thread before...)

long road 29-08-2023 07:42 PM

I have friends who drink alcohol and roleplay, it feels too risky for me it gets crazy enough when I am sober. But I can see it could be fun.

Roadmen are like this generations chav is the quickest way I can explain it. They pretend to be all gangster but really arent

nonperson 29-08-2023 07:45 PM

I'd probably become more creative while drunk roleplaying.

Ah gotcha. Why "roadmen" though?

long road 29-08-2023 07:57 PM

I think as long as you are all the same amount of drunk it would be fine. And probably very silly and amusing. Problems would arise if someone was drunker than everyone else!

I don't know why roadmen is the term. That is something we need Beckies expertise for. So we shall have to wait until she is back from glow beats.

I ordered a burger and chips for dinner it should be here soon.

nonperson 29-08-2023 08:01 PM

That's the case for all drunk situations really ;-)

Mmm burger and chips sounds very good. Hope they don't keep you waiting long.

I'm waiting for a pie to cook in the oven. Will have some homegrown French beans with it.

long road 29-08-2023 08:09 PM

I suppose so. But it would feel especially true in a cooperative game rather than just being at the pub. As long as the drunkedt person wasnt so drunk they needed supervising.

Latest update is in 13 minutes.

Pie sounds good, what kind of pie is it? And fresh veg is always the tastiest!

I am now thinking of the Weebl and Bob pie sketch XD

Accidentally Abstract 29-08-2023 08:32 PM

Hope you've now got your burger Jen! I also ordered dinner tonight (as well as lunch, lmao) as I've just had a DAY. Had wagamama though so it was at least pretty healthy! Should be doing more studying now but I'm just so exhausted.

nonperson 29-08-2023 08:45 PM

Wagamama is the best! I always order extra for the next day too.

It was a butternut squash and three bean pie, which I forgot when adding more beans to the meal =P

Do you need to study or is it better to rest and recuperate?

long road 29-08-2023 08:46 PM

I have eaten my burger. It was very good. And just what I needed today.

Wagamama is good but I can't get it delivery as they don't let you do dish modifications online and nearly all the dishes have chilli or red pepper in. They are fine with not putting it in in the restaurant though and so I can get delicious ginger chicken udon there.

I think you needed takeaway today Luce you had too much on to cook and that was before you had a DAY. Maybe do something restful for like half an hour like meditate or listen to a podcast or some music with your eyes closed and see if it gives you energy to study. No point working if you are exhausted because it won't make any sense.

long road 29-08-2023 08:46 PM

Ooh butternut squash is a top tier vegetable!!!

nonperson 29-08-2023 08:50 PM

Glad the burger helped =)

Sadly there was only like one lump of squash in the pie. Still tasty though!

long road 29-08-2023 08:59 PM

Surely that is false advertising if there is only one bit of squash! Glad it was tasty regardless though!

I am going to try and rest as I had to take my strong painkillers and as such am a bit woozy/ out if it.

Look after yourselves.

nonperson 29-08-2023 09:12 PM

It was quite a large piece of squash =P

Rest well!

Accidentally Abstract 29-08-2023 09:40 PM

I do probably need to study NP (do you prefer that to your name?), but I've not got much in me to do it this evening so have largely procrastinated - but I procrastinated effectively by making my slides for a training programme I'm contributing to, haha!

I might try to have a shower shortly. I'm going out tomorrow late afternoon for an appointment, after working all day and having therapy again, so I should really do that tonight. I don't want to though!!

Glad you had the burger and it was delicious Jen! Hope the rest helps.

Pie sounds delicious too NP, butternut squash is one of my faves, but sad there wasn't more of it!

Accidentally Abstract 29-08-2023 10:35 PM

I finally managed a shower! *celebrates*

not_so_insig 29-08-2023 11:12 PM

Well done Luce.

Accidentally Abstract 29-08-2023 11:16 PM

Thank you! How are you this evening?

not_so_insig 30-08-2023 05:03 AM

Sorry I fell asleep. I am ok thanks.
