Happy Valentines Day..Or not..

What’s it all about anyway, can’t we show appreciation for our lovers/boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives every day of the year?

A few people have[/url] expressed their thoughts on this matter, really it’s just commercial bullshit isn’t it. Much like Christmas has become a time for showing who can buy the most expensive and flashy presents, this is not the point…I personally can’t stand commercialism and all the beautiful original meanings of the mostly pagan celebrations it has destroyed.

The true origin of Valentine’s day and it’s history is pretty much unknown, there is a lot of speculation and ideas, but there’s no fact. It’s been around since Roman times and seems to have mixed Roman/Christian roots.

What happened to St. Valentine is also unknown and how the festival actually came about, but in Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes.

Some interesting facts according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.)

Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.

Cupid is often also associated with Valentine’s day, the child like winged cherub with the bow and arrow of love. The son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. In Greek mythology Cupid is known as Eros, son of Aphrodite.

In UK when I grew up it was mostly known as a day where you send secret messages to those you admire or wish to date, good for those shy people, apart from the fact that the cards are sent anonymously, so the receiver doesn’t know who they are come. Those ‘popular’ boys and girls at school always used to get hoards of cards, for those sad kids, you just got 1….from your MOM. I like this concept, it’s kind of cute.

Nowdays those it’s just become another hugely commercial affair when roses cost 5 times the normal price, dinner costs you an arm and a leg and at the more expensive resturants you probably need to sell a couple of internal organs on Ebay to finance your food. It’s lost it’s true meaning, I learnt a good lesson when I was young. My mom told me she would scold me if I ever bought her flowers on Mother’s day, why because they are 5 times the price of any other day. She said she’d much prefer if I bought her flowers now and then through-out the year. It makes sense really, when I was small I used to make her a card from stuff lying around the house and perhaps pick some flowers from the garden, with hindsight I can see this is a much more meaningful thing anyway, I didn’t waste my money and I put some though and creativity into the process. For those aspiring romantics, heed this advice for valentines day too. If your S.O. (Significant Other) doesn’t appreciate this, then dump em…if you have a girlfriend expecting a Gucci bag or something expensive just because it’s valentines day, well it could be social convention or peer pressure..but it’s still a bad thing right?

Seriously get a grip.

Let’s show appreciation for each other everday, boycott commercialisation and if you really must do something, be creative, be imagination, be truly romantic, spending a lot of money on something tacky isn’t the way forwards, honestly.

The moral of this story is, Valentine’s day, STICK IT UP YOUR ASS.

Cheers!

Happy year of the Rooster, let the year of cock be a good one 😀

May it bring you health, wealth, happiness and prosperity.

Health makes things possible, wealth makes things work, joy makes thing beautiful. May you have all three as you begin this new year.

Am pretty busy eating, sleeping, savouring not working, drinking, receiving ang pow and so on.

Will post more after it’s all over, it’s the second day of Chinese new year now, first night was dinner gathering, yesterday was all day going to different houses and eating lots of cookies (I mean lots)..

Plenty of sumptuous feasts (will post pictures later, highlights would be pork trotters, yum!)..

It’s the year of the Wood Rooster, you can check out Suan’s highlights.

There is a good article HERE on how Chinese New Year is celebrated in Malaysia.

More information on how the calendar differs is available HERE.

Enjoy the festive season.

Random posting will resume shortly.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The weekend has passed…

At least it’s a long holiday this week, am going to take tommorow off and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are public holidays for Chinese new year and another festival that falls on the second day of Chinese new year, so carries to Friday.

Weekend was fairly normal..

Friday night finished work, went to eat the Lala, becoming almost a Friday ritual. After that went home and played some DOTA but my PC kept insisting on hanging, definately time to reformat.

So I spent Friday night/Saturaday morning reformatting my PC, finished around 8am, will post a technical post later. It’s sweet now, just need some more RAM as it chugs a bit when I got a few things running at the same time.

Saturday got a call that my car was fixed at around 4.30pm, called the office to find they closed at 5pm, so rushed my ass off to pick up KY[/url] and get to Jalan Ipoh, got there and found it’s only half done, but it’s still amazingly fast and they did a really good job, from what it was, to how it is now.

Better than before, I was going to have the bonnet resprayed anyway as it was in a bit of state.

Shiny like new!

So picked up my car then headed over to Cheras for dinner, had some great weird crispy noodles, shame I didn’t have my camera. Saw the infamous humping hill aswell, pretty nice view, can see KLCC and when it’s clear you can see all the way to Genting.

Then back home to pound some DOTA.

Sunday had lunch at Ikea and bought a couple of things, a lamp for the bedroom and a table for beside the Sofa, place is coming along now…still need some gas though so I can cook!

Dinner went for the trust Hokkien Mee and Ikan Bakar (Grilled Fish) combo.

Awesome Hokkien Mee, one of the best in KL at Chow Yang, SS2.

The dude cooking his Ikan Bakar

He looked so happy that I had to take a proper picture of him, he was truly chuffed

The result, stingray with ladies fingers.

And of course my signature aftermath picture..

Will go and buy a vacuum tonight so I can clean up the place for Chinese new year.

Faggot and Suan have disappeared back to their home towns, and KL is pretty quiet.

Cyberjaya is ever deader than usual.

If you want to drive around KL with no traffic, Chinese new year is the time to do it.

Will be going for a lot of dinners over the next few days, so expect to see more good food pictures!

KY[/url] has started a blog over at blogspot, it’s pretty funny so I suggest checking it out:

KY Speaks[/url]

I’ll link to him if he keeps up posting and it doesn’t die of like most do, after the initial spurt.

Numa Numa Iei! – Dragostea Din Tei

I guess most of you have seen this by now, but seen as though I just fixed my soundcard I’ve been listening to the song for about half an hour on repeat so I thought I’d post about it.

It’s a Romanian song that took europe by storm last year.

It’s called DRAGOSTEA DIN TEI by Haiducii (Love from the linden trees by The Outlaws)

You can see the flash of a hilarious fat guy dancing to the song at Newsgrounds here:

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/206373

This version has the original, with subtitles and version without the stupid pictures.

The original was first seen here https://www.funpic.hu/swf/numanuma.html

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha

Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Lyrics from HERE.

There is an even more scary dude singing it here:

The Corporate Cockshaft – Why we work..

Indeed, thank fuck it’s Friday.

The weekend dawns again, another week of bending over and taking the corporate cock shaft is over.

2 more days and the inevitable cycle will begin again.

We ask ourselves during those periods of reflection, why do we do it? The answer is simple, to earn money, to eat, to buy shiny things, to buy things that blink and beep and do all kinds of interesting stuff.

Everyone has their own view on it, some people seem to live to work, their work is their life, now this line of thinking, I really can’t comprehend and definately can’t subscribe to. Why sacrifice all else for a job, or a career or whatever you want to label it?

If it’s your own company, I can understand, been there done that, you have to work hard to get returns, if you are seeing direct benefits from your sweat, blood and tears then by all means do it. If it’s NOT your company, and you don’t even have shares, or any part of a profit distribution scheme, then what’s the point?

What I always say is..

Work smart, NOT hard.

Some people choose to go totally the other way, those amongst us that are less material and less egotistical, they choose to work as little as possible, make the most of their money and enjoy life to the max without earnings thousands and driving a BMW. I can respect this and probably admire these people most of all, my mother is one of these people, she has never worked full time and probably never well, she earns enough to keep her own house and a new-ish car and to travel all around the world, she doesn’t buy expensive clothes or anything, but the house is nice, mostly filled with old furniture she has bought cheaply from charity shops and restored.

For me this is better than the alternative, losing friends, family and loved ones for work, at the end of it what do you get? A nice house, a flashy car a shitload of bills and a feeling of personal satisfaction? When in fact your life has become hollow, you have become what you earn and what you own, nothing more, nothing less.

I have always done enough to get by, to get to the next level, this was also my thinking in studying, you could call it efficiency I guess. Some people are into going the extra mile, but I say what’s the point in doing more than you need to? Do what you do and do it well, that’s more than enough already.

For me luckily I am in field I enjoy, but I don’t always get to do what I want to do, this is life and this is the corporate world, you end up doing other peoples jobs, why? Because they are incapable of doing it, but why me? Apparently I am one of those people that has a label on their forehead saying “I can do anything”. Which is probably true, I am capable, but it doesn’t mean I want to do it.

Basically the moral is as always we work because we have to, not because we want to, don’t sacrifice priceless things (friends, relationship, family) for the sake of career advancement or material goods, money as you well know by now does not equate to happiness. I agree you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with anyone else, or they can be happy with you, but just take a look around, take a look in the mirror, if you stick your head too deep into work, when you pull it out, everything else will be gone.

Work is work is work..

Let’s get paid and let’s get laid.

I’m gonna hang out with my wang out.

I’m gonna rock out with my cock out.

Party on.

P.S. This is the monumental 100th post!

The Crappy Week…

Yeah it has been so far, I guess all the bad things are getting over and done with before the new year (Chinese calendar). My good friend God also got mugged, his post about it HERE.

I crashed my car..beacause I was ill, I kept being ill and actually got iller..ended up going to the doctor on Tuesday night (that reminds me better take my medicine now)..

No alchohol for me seen as though I’m on antibiotics..

Managed to get pretty much everything sorted out with my car on tuesday though, which was cool..turns out you don’t have to ‘pay’ to make a police report, but if the accident is your fault (which if you whack someone in the ass it always is) there is a ‘compound’ fee of 300RM.

The Seargant was very nice though and told me where to go so I could reduce the summons to only 150RM and he gave me 2 months to pay it.

The car is off away with the repair people now, they are taking care of all the paperwork and I’m having the windscreen done too. So should be mad love.

Only thing I was disappointed to find out is that Malaysia does have excess for claims…I was surprised that it didn’t, but two seperate people said they don’t have it here…well guys you do.

For the first driver it was 250RM, not so bad…for named driver (me) it’s 650RM, bit of a killer.

So total pocket damage:

  • Lost NCB for first year 25% of policy = 400RM
  • Excess for claim = 650RM
  • Compound Summons = 150RM
Total = 1200RM

OUCH!

That’s a goddamn lot of burgers and beer.

Oh well I bought 4D for my car number, so if that hits it’ll be good, pretty slim chance of that though.

Being in a bad mood too I decided to treat myself yesterday, after spending most of the day sleeping the medicine off, seen as though I managed to get myself a rather nice office chair, I thought it was about time I sorted out my pc..

I was pretty much 100% sure my CPU was fried I went out and bought a new one, a Sempron 2500+ (1.75ghz, 333mhz frequency), just need to get some RAM now as I am borrowing someone elses (and it’s only 256MB which isn’t really enough)..

Maybe after next payday 🙂

Whacked the CPU and off I went, OS bluescreened, but that’s to be expected as the motherboard is using a completely different chipset, so I installed the OS back on top of itself and it worked pretty ok.

It seems a bit funky, but well it’s about time I reformatted anyway, so I’ll get that done soon when I tidy that crap up (Noticed I have over 3000 mp3’s aswell..) I missed my songs. Whacked a game of DOTA aswell just to test things out 🙂 It was good, haven’t played with sound for ages.

Need to stop using Outlook Express aswell, stupid peice of crap, it’s just that my mail filter rules are so complicated, I don’t know if Thunderbird[/url] can import them properly..

I installed the latest Firefox[/url] with all the cool extensions[/url], updated my anti-virus and now I’m ready to go, rocking in the new era of DDR RAM!

So things are ok, no one is hurt..I am feeling ok today, kinda dizzy a bit still though.

Haven’t really eaten properly for 3 days..have definately lost weight too although not in a healthy manner.

Will post again later, with some food 🙂

Seen as though I’ve fixed my main PC aswell I’ll get some more pics online soon, I found my sunset gallery and some of my diving holidays, although one important CD is missing! The underwater pictures from Redang.

I hate Mondays more than ever..

Well today was a very special Monday, more special than most..most people have a disdain for Monday’s, myself included but today topped it.

I woke up for work as normal..but I had a horrible Migraine so I decided to call in sick and take some rest at home..I slept until pretty late and dragged myself out of bed to go and get some food, I was still feeling pretty blur and sleepy and probably should’t have gone anywhere, but well I did.

I rolled out to get some food and drink and disaster struck as I was turning onto the LDP.

There is a junction where you turn out and cars are also coming fast from the right, bypassing a jammed junction (they shouldn’t but they do), you can fit 2 cars down this stretch though so as long as you make a tight turn it’s fine.

There was a puke green kancil in front of me that should have been pulling out, I was checking the right for lorries, turned back to go forward and realised (too late) the Kancil in front of me for no apparent reason decided not to go anywhere..bang, fuck, WTF my bonnet?!?

It was a 10km/h collision, no one was hurt thankfully (apart from my pride and my wallet) and all is ok. Typical for me, I’ve done a similar thing before (last time I blamed it on sun shining of a rainy road surface..)

But in all honestly I’d prefer to have this kind of minor accidents now and then rather than something serious, no one is hurt, no major damage to the car.

The bonnet is wrecked, the front wing too, but both side panels are ok and most importantly no damage to the engine, radiator is fine.

I mean I hit a freaking Kancil but from the damage you’d imagine I’d driven into the back of a tank..

I think it’s because I hit it at a weird angle and it was downhill, seems like the bonnet took most of the impact..

Oh well another day another dollar..

I did manage to finally buy a nice looking ergonomic and reasonbly priced office chair for my now clean office..just need to fix my damn PC!

I have some other stuff to blog about, but this takes precedence..

My beautiful car is no longer beautiful, but well after repairs I’m hoping it’ll be more beautiful than ever.I can also get the windscreen replaced as it has a crack in it the size of the nile.

There are a few other dents and scratches I can sort out at the same time too seen as though I’m claiming insurance..

It’s my first year of insurance here so I have no NCB to lose, I’ll just lose the 25% discount I would get after the first year with no claims.

That’s a hell of a lot less than paying for the damage to my car and the minor damage to the puke green Kancil. At least this country has no excess..

But what is this bullshit about having to pay to make a police report? That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve heard…what incetive do people have to settle things through the correct channels with such stupid beauraucractic legislations as this. PAY to do the RIGHT thing…that’s back to front no? You should PAY for doing the WRONG thing.

Hopefully it won’t take too long or I’ll be stranded and carless..Holiday season is coming soon too, will need to do some driving around to collect Ang Pows 🙂

That’s all for now folks..

ARGH FUCK MONDAYS FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES!

What is a good blog? & BlogExplosion – Stingy Asses!

Thank you to the 9 people who voted for my site, fuck you to the other 1035 that didn’t. Here’s a message from another blogger to you non-voters.

https://suckmygiantcock.blogspot.com/[/url]

How long does it take to vote?

I’ve recieved 10 blogmarks, which is nice! Even bigger thanks to you geniuses who blogmarked me hanks all, hope you are still reading regularly..Yeah you can take this as another delurking post..

I’ve recieved one magical BlogExplosion comment (WHICH I WROTE MY FUCKING SELF)..

Yes I comment on nice blogs, yes I blogmark good blogs, yes I vote, yes I am a good BlogExplosion user. The other similar service BlogClicker? No idea haven’t been back for ages..couldn’t be doing with the stupid pictures of fishes and stuff.

Have some decency, vote, leave a comment, tell me to shut up, anything you like.. But do something please, Bloody apathetic planet. I’ve no sympathy at all! (HG2TG)

After using BlogExplosion for quite some time now, I’ll give a summary..

This also could be considered what is a good blog..or not as the case may be.

1) Too many political blogs
Who gives a shit if you are red, blue, green, yellow or wish to finger Dumbya Bush’s assring, I don’t. Welcome to my block list. Political satire, now there’s a genre I can appreciate, but serious political ‘commentary’..Yeah like it matters what you say, like it makes a difference, like you are going to change the world? Also if people want politics they will probably do grown up things like READ THE FUCKING NEWSPAPER..

2) Too many pro-religious blogs
Yeah God is great, God is good, Jesus loves you because no-one else does you self-righteous Bible quoting cuntnugget. My blocklist mostly contains holier-than-thou blogs preaching to the masses, people can go to church if they want that shit thank you very teh much. Religious blogs can be good such as No Religion Now[/url] and The Raving Atheist[/url]..but generally aren’t. Sorry but I had to endure enough of that crap in school (Church of England school) and Sunday School (Bible classes)..

3) Mundane blogs
If the highlight of your week was the fact that your dog took a shit in your kitchen and honestly, you have nothing else to say and appear to have no opinions other than ‘Oprah is good’, why the fuck are you blogging? Leave it to people with lives PLEASE. I’d prefer not to waste 30 seconds staring at pictures of your potplants. If you take pictures try and frame them well, make it an object of interest, something beautiful..funny, moving, strange, disturbing, anything please…just make sure it’s not BORING..The cardinal sin of blogging is to have a boring blog, give up now..

4) Hideously ugly blogs
Animated gifs? Flashing? Blinking? NONONONONONNO Please…Go find a cluestick and beat yourself around the head with it repeatedly..YES YOU YOU COLOUR BLIND MORON..

Huge Java Applets and big ass Flash animations are kinda off-putting too…if it takes longer than 30 seconds for your page to load (WITH broadband) there is something seriously wrong and you are breaking all the web-design rules.

5) Anything else I don’t like
Which could be any number of things.

Good blogs have at least some of the following qualities (generally not all):

1) Engaging
Topics that are accesible and understandable, a natural flow in the writing that allows you to read it easily, as though someone was talking to you and could hold your interest. This is probably one of the harder things to achieve if you can’t engage people in conversation in real life it will hard for you to engage a one-way dialogue in the blogosphere. Engaging writers are those like Michael Ooi[/url] who can write posts and keep you interested.

2) Entertaining
Funny, topical, humourous, weird, different things entertain different people, I can guarantee you some of the menial crap you blog about doesn’t entertain ANYONE. Dr Liew[/url] would be an example of this, loads of random bizzaro stuff.

3) Interesting
If you learn something new, find out a new resource or gain something from reading a blog it’s a good thing, try and add some value to the world, don’t be another useless leech. Jeff Ooi[/url] would be in this category, he also had though provoking and controversial covered.

4) Thought Provoking
These are the rarer kind of blogs, those with original thoughts, not regurgitated news or ‘topical’ commentary. People with opinions that make you question, make you doubt the system or the state or something that people hold firm..Those few people that have opinions and are articulate enough to share them, I border on this side at times but don’t have the concentration to be thought-provoking every day. TV-Smith[/url] would have this well covered with his current affairs satire.

5) Good Looking
This includes well layed out and easy to navigate, not overly cluttered, not overly bright/dull/flashy. Clean and Zen is good. My blog for example, but well not to be kembang then maybe you should check out Flirt in a Skirt[/url].

6) Controversial
This could be considered similar to Though Provoking, but these blogs tend to be more extreme, they insight rage and anger and heated debate on those thorny subjects such as Religion, Politics, Gun Laws and so on. Lillian Chan[/url] for example seems to have a knack for stirring things up.

7) Seedy
Those about sex, prostituion and the redder side of things, those like NY Escort[/url] and Hustler[/url] are prime examples of these, sex sells, even in the blogosphere.

8) Have a ‘Community’
Having a community is a good thing, having regular stalkers, people who are interested in what you have to say and people willing to engage in games and comment on things. One site which is a perfect example of this is Michele Agnew[/url], she can write a 3 line post and get over 30 comments.

9) Well-written
This goes without saying, reasonably well written including good grammar, spelling, punctuation and proper capitalisation. nOt tYpiNg liKe tHiS iS a gReAt sTaRt. An example of this would be Sigmund, Carl and Alfred[/url], although they can be assholes they write well.

10) Regularity
If you haven’t posted anything in 3 months reading your blog is akin to eating stale bread. Post or close it.

As you can see there are far more things you can do ‘right‘ than you can do wrong..So go for it, knock yourselves out and have yourself a GOOD blog.

If you really feel the need to listen to other people you can do so here:

[list][*]47 Tips from the Worlds best Bloggers
[*]Blogging is Like…
[*]What Makes a Good Blogger?[/list]As for BlogExplosion, it’s getting kind of boring now, not much interaction, not really finding many new blogs I think I might give it up soon. If only I had a 500 person downline and I earnt shitloads of credits for doing nothing. Now that I wouldn’t mind.

It’s Friday! Yay! It’s Payday, Double Yay!

Finally, finally, finally..I can stop eating maggi goreng, I’ve been paid..wooo-fucking-hoo

Plans for this month, get my ‘office‘ sorted out, this entails getting a nice high back leather directors chair and fixing my PC, I might just go ahead and by myself a Sempron.. (perhaps calling the landlord to fix the fan aswell, it currently spins at highest setting around 2rpm). If I have money left at the end of the month I’ll probably get a fridge too, see how it goes first 🙂

I rather stuffed myself last night in celebration (yes with a lot of crappy junk food)..

KFC for dinner, with plenty of extra gravy (the secret to enjoying KFC is ordering original recipe, and asking for a pot of gravy, OR + gravy = pwn).

Spent the whole night playing DOTA Classic, whooped some ass and sadly got whooped too, had some damn close games though.

Thinking of writing an extensive strategy guide soon for The War Center, probably do the Troll Warlord as he often gets used (and mostly mis-used) in public games.

A lot of people were asking for an MS guide, but Kain has already done it and my MS isn’t THAT gomu anyway.

Had some mad burger love last night before going home (rather later than I should have)..found out the dude we call ‘giraffe’ has a 28″ waist..that’s just obscene, he has a very long neck too, but seriously his burger are best!

Got some pictures of the famous lala, it looks almost as delicious as it tastes.

And after we’d polished it off..

The Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) at this place is really fantasic too!

Finally it’s the weekend, still one lousy module left to finish, then some peace, or proper work at least.

Probably go and celebrate this weekend by getting drunk, yay!

Not sure on the venue yet, if you are a hot nubile chick, feel free to join us, I have plenty of friends to introduce to you.

I have some other stuff to ramble about…but well I really have to finish this damn work..

See you at the weekend 🙂

Tastiness vs Healthiness?

I felt like ranting about something, but I totally forgot what it was…so it can’t have been that inspiring..

I am trying to download Phlak[/url] as I am in the process of updating my security toolkit..the download speed is atrocious, I think there is something wrong with the line. Even surfing is slow, my crappy StimX is faster..and this stupid laptop just gave me a BSOD *sigh* I really need to reformat it..

Not sure if I should complain about yesterday or not…quite clearly inhumane working condition, I had a splitting headache by the end of the day and felt like I had a bad case of sunstroke or heat exhaustion..

Haven’t been to pizza hut[/url] for quite some time, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever been in Malaysia before, I’ve ordered delivery a couple of times and I went a few times in Brunei as there wasn’t much else to eat there..

Made a trip there last night and had the Tempura set, it was pretty good, I have to say though, Pepsi Ice is a truly scary artificial blue colour. Pepsi fire tastes just like normal pepsi, it’s just a slightly reddish colour.

After devouring some pizza, tempura prawns and parmesan breadstrip thingies, I had the revalation that how good food tastes is inversely proportional to how healthy it is (in general terms)..

Like if you cook meat with all the fat removed, it just doesn’t taste so good (that’s where the flavour comes from).

Chinese for example love munching on fatty stuff, siu yuk for example, pork trotters..

Personally I can’t stand some of that stuff, the wibbly wobbly texture fat makes me want to vomit, if some misadvertently enters my mouth I might actually retch.

I can take the crispy stuff, like in UK with the pork scratchings, I love that stuff, which is basically just crunchy fat, and crispy bacon rind is teh pwn too…but jelly like fat…I can’t handle it.

Anyway back to the point, stuff with less fat is more healthy and thus less tasty, fried stuff tastes best, more fat…deep fried stuff even better, even more fat…

In Scotland you can get ridiculous stuff like deep fried Mars Bars, why? Because deep fry anything and it TASTES GOOD.

Deep fried ice-cream is actually really nice.

Lettuce for example, super healthy, super tasteless unless you add some nice gooey, oily, unhealthy salad dressing..

I think it’s all some kind of evil conspiracy, you can’t have good tasting and healthy food, well you can…roasted stuff for example, but still you need to put oil in the pan to roast potatoes for example…boiled food, not tasty unless you pour some juicy gravy made from the meat fat all over it..

Anyway fried is good, fat is good (as long as it’s not wobbly) and tasty food is good.

Delicious or Healthy? What’s your choice?

Personally, I say Bollocks to the healthy stuff.
