Sausages are often referred to as 'Bangers' because cheap ones tended to explode in the frying pan. People would be advised to prick them before cooking to avoid a faceful of hot fat.

Modern sausages no longer explode in your face but many people still prick them. I think it's nonsense because I want to keep the juices inside.

He was interviewing my alongside the 2 senior managers of the team and was supposed to mentor me and show me around on my first day at work since I was assigned to his project. I felt like I sucked during the interview since the senior manager seemed to not like me but received an offer the next day. I assume it was because I was the only applicant for the role.

When I arrived on my first day I saw him making a phone call in the lobby but not acknowledging me. Later the senior manager welcomed me and showed me the office where he was not to be found even though he was supposed to show me around. Later I found out that his coworker would mentor me instead of him and he never made an effort to talk to me, not even work related issues. Even other coworkers mentioned that he barely spoke to me so I’m not imagining it.

Does that indicate that he thinks I’m incompetent and therefore doesn’t want to be associated with me? Or does he think I would just be a bother because I don’t come off intelligent enough for him? Or does he just find me unpleasant or physically unattractive? He is married but I know that he has an affair with his coworker and he is quite sociable so it’s not like he is afraid of metoo.

Do you like them? Do you think it's time for an update of the designs?

guys what do u like the most?

Here are two photos I've taken. One shows a military firing range recently abandoned and now used to make silage. The other an abandoned fish landing/processing dock.

Which one would you prefer to visit?

Lerwick, Scotland has just held its annual Up-Helly-Aa fire festival to celebrate its Viking heritage. There was plenty of raping and pillaging but it was all in good fun ending with the burning of a Viking longship and any evidence. For the first time, in an act of Viking wokery, women were allowed to carry burning torches in the parade.

Now we've all heard about the question, "How often do you think of the Roman Empire?" so let's twist that into, "How often do you think of the Viking Empire?"

Yes I know it wasn't technically an empire but let's not split hairs.

But Love and Hate are opposite emotions we all know. So what similarities do they really possess?

*Both are Extreme emotions

*Both are felt about someone because of who they are and how we feel about them

*Both have strong desires for a finite end result. We wish those we love to thrive and greatly succeed at all that they do. We wish for all their dreams to come true. While we wish pain and failure for those that we hate and for all their dreams to end in nightmares.

Let's say that you really love someone but find out they cheated on you. At first you are left in shock and disbelief. Next the shock turns to hurt and pain. Then the emotion starts to switch to anger. Finally a hatred sets in and grows deeper as you realize what a fool you have been taken for... you know I'm right!

Love and hate are related emotions because they are both strong and intense and directed towards someone in particular and many times that same someone is on the receiving end of both, and maybe by their own doing.

Please take my Poll and let me know what your opinion or experience has been with Love and hate, both on the giving and receiving ends... PLEASE!

Wouldn't it be nice if all hatred could be eliminated from the planet and we could just say...

The first to apologize is the bravest
The first to forgive is the strongest
The first to forget is the happiest

... I LOVE YOU!

I have to admit my year has started out with a bang and I mean that in a good way. I've made so many changes and have much more clarity. I'm so proud of me trying new things.

I recently got into an argument with some of my friends about my strenght. Im 5'11, 170 lbs and workout for 3 years very consistently. I also practice Bjj for over a year and had a self defence straining. Im pretty confident that i can defend my self from most of the man. But some people arround me think that guys can still win in any scenario. Do you think i can defend myself? (Im not talking about some MMA scenario just a scenario where some avarage drunk Joe tries to be a bit too close with me in a club and I can't make him stop in a good way). If you have any experiences with something like this please let me know ☺️
