GOD DAMN MFSOB REAL ESTATE AGENTS

For christs sake is there any profession on EARTH with any less integrity and any more complete lack of any quality that you would consider standard to being a human being.

I have NEVER had a good encounter with a real estate agent. They are all complete miserable piles of vomit, although thats probably unfair to vomit.

i had this old cunt from across the road come over and tell me that he hates my dog because he barks all day and all night.

Firstly, he only barks during the day when he is out the front of my house. I only put him out the fron for a few hours a day when i'm at home which is at best 2 days week.

Secondly, he sleeps inside out the front of my room so he couldn't bark all night.

Thirdly, this old fuck lives across the road. i live on a main road, so surly he couldn't hear that much barking from inside his house.

I told him that he had to deal with it. I was polite but fuck he is a dog (and a small white fully one at that) so he is going to bark a bit.

In the back yard. He only barks when he is out the front because he doesn't like people sitting at the bus stop out the front of my house.

Everyone in my house is of the opinion the old man can go fuck himself.

KMart's giving tree and the like:

WTF?! This HUGE, multi-billion dollar global corporate empire is prompting punters to fork over their hard-earned wages for their charity. Not that I'm opposed to charities, but KMart could provide a thousand times as much if they donated just 1% of THEIR profits. Hell, they could even start by paying employees a little more, or not using sweatshops for KMart produce. It strikes me as one of THE most cynical marketing exercises ever, especially when one considers that the trees are located at KMart stores and the whole thing is thus REALLY a blatant attempt to boost sales and squeeze a some cash out of those who may wish to express a little of the "true spirit" of Christmas (ie goodwill to fellow humans etc.)

yeah, good point, and I agree. unfortunately firms are profit maximising and hypocrisy is the rule, not the exception.

we cannot expect firms to have a social conscience because they are the vehicle for capitalism and capitalism is evil.

instead, we as a community can just do what we can, and if that means forking over some of our earnings to help the less fortunate and redistribute wealth a little more evenly across socitety whilst perhaps providing some underprivledged kid with a glimmer of happiness, then I guess its a hypocrisy that I am willing to tolerate.

I thought this was going to be some reference to terrorism forcing stores to decide not to have giving trees. Except for KMart of course.

Yeah, but it not only means giving to an evil company that is using YOUR selflessness for self-promotion/tax writeoffs, but is also potentially taking from legitimate charities that do what they do all year round for the love of humanity (oh yeah, and to force their religion on the vulnerable )

Just in case you need a help with the cooking...
bunny boiler wrote:Rabbit Stew
2kg (4lb) Rabbit, jointed
285ml (½ pint) Chicken Stock
140ml (¼ pint) White Wine
2 tbsp Seasoned Flour
55g (2oz) Butter
1 Garlic Clove
1 Bouquet Garni
2 tbsp Double Cream
1 tbsp Parsley
2 tsp Cornflour
2 tsp Tomato Purée
Parsley
Salt and Pepper

Coat the rabbit joints in seasoned flour and fry in butter in a flameproof casserole, browning on all sides.
Add the stock, wine and tomato purée, bring to the boil.
Add the bouquet garni, crushed garlic and season to taste.
Reduce the heat and cook gently for 1½ - 2 hours or until the rabbit is tender.
Transfer the rabbit to a serving dish, keep warm.
Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, removing the bouquet garni
Mix the cream and cornflour together, and stir into the sauce until thickened.
Pour sauce over rabbit and garnish with parsley.
Free to those that can afford it, very expensive to those that can't.

why is it whenever I go to the supermarket and attempt to by aluminium foil that for some reason I always buy gladwrap by accident?

I reckon that it morphs in the bag on the way home.

This is a serious problem. There have been times when I have made a complete conscious effort to make sure that I buy aluminium foil AND NOT gladwrap, and yet when I get home there it is, Gladwrap in the shopping bag.

Its been going on forever as well, I currently have enough gladwrap in my house to take care of Laura Palmer like 100 times over.
