Stupid little things that bug you

Seriously? I think any sane person would do the same tbh. If the bin is full and this is charity then leave your stuff at the bins in black bags ready to be collected when the council actually DO empty them.

Its better than the alternative of throwing it all in the river, not that these fly tippi9ng police would know because they were laying siege to a shop car park! wtf. is that their job? Siting in a car waiting for crime to come to them.. Typical of the whole country tbh.

If the bin was full why didn't he just take it to the charity shop, or spread it over a few bins as there are always loads in every town or spread it over a few visits?

People that say 110%.

Yeah that does my head in.

Another one is the use of this emoji in a message when they are trying to say ‘100%’, as in, they agree with me, but it’s just the number 100 underlined twice so means nothing.

I dont know, but the council have wiped his fine because it was ridiculous. Its profiteering on an outsourced service just like wheel clamping.
 
Bad enough when we have the players covering their mouths as if their giving away state secrets during a game but noticed referee doing it yesterday during scouse match........
 
I can't find a rack of pork ribs anywhere. Even my local butcher gets everything basically prepared somewhere else. I can't get a full brisket either, i mean come on. I ordered a brisket from the butcher and it came as just the flat with no fatcap rolled and tied just as you get in an asda lets say. I even said i just want the primal cut, no trimming, ill do all that but apparently that is to much to ask.

Ribs are seemingly all cut into individual ribs everywhere i have looked, moggies, asda, tesco, waitrose, coop, everywhere. Am i just looking at the wrong shops or something? If they are in a full rack then they are already vacuum sealed and cooked with a glaze already on the damn things. I feel like everyone is laughing behind my back here hiding them.

I just bought a new smoker and want to give this big bugger a first use worthy of the damn thing. Well i am calling Hazeldines and Norbury farms butchers who are a 2min walk from my old mums back in the Grove tomorrow to see if they can sort me out.

Rant over!

Just rub it in why don't you, rub? rub? like a nice dry rub on some pork ribs? Oh god this sucks.

Honestly mate its kinda sad the state of butchery in the UK now. Not sure how long you have been in the states now but if you remember as a kid the butcher would have his aprentice in the back taking down a side of beef and such, just doesn't happen now. Everything is vacuum sealed and delivered to them with every bit of fat removed. I went to 3 different butchers yesterday and nothing doing. All the ribs had already been marinaded or cut into individual ribs.

You had the smoker going this year yet boss?

I smoked some lake trout a few weeks back, that's it so far. Been a crazy long winter with many lakes still frozen over. Taking the boat out tomorrow for it's first fishing trip this year
 
Oh nice nice. Never smoked my own fish tbh but i really should. How long do you smoke your trout for and do you cold smoke it or hot? What temps if hot? Sorry for the avalanche of questions but it is damn expensive so don't want to mess it up. A strong wood is ok right? pretty sure i have had oak smoked salmon and trout before.

The prep is the important part. I lime to do a dry rub, marinate for 24 hrs, wash and let dry until a good pellicle appears

You might get them in a Chinese supermarket. Wing Yip or somewhere.
