When Bob’s On The Pot He Likes to Read A Lot (It’s A Man Thing!)

October 20, 2012 by gingerfightback

Hello,

Thanks to those of you who got in touch about clothing marks on the torso which you can read here

Sometimes a man needs a fry up. As much as I appreciate my lovely wife Shirley’s attempts to prolong my life via roughage, there are times you just need a bit of bacon and egg.

So I nipped into the Corner Cafe and ordered three eggs, three sausages, four rashers, beans, tomatoes, fried slice, fried potatoes, chips, black pudding, white pudding, kidneys. liver, chicken burger, beans, mushroom, burger, fish fingers, toast. And broccoli. Oh and a mug of tea. I like a strong cup of tea and this one could do press ups.

£4.50 – Bargain in anyone’s eyes.

Whilst this snack was being readied I needed the facilities. Whilst on me throne, enjoying the smell of frying bacon from the kitchens, I read about the growing food shortage in the world and how mass starvation was only years away.

After the third flush was finally succesful, I cancelled the toast. I remember my mum telling me to think of the starving children in Africa when I moaned about those fish paste sandwiches.

I like to do my bit. Did a sponsored walk once, for Athlete’s Foot Anonymous. Played havoc with my rash.

Laters.

Bob

I always like to stop by for my daily smile. But behind your humor, your address real concerns. Excellent post, as always!

  Thanks – what is fried and set before a man in a Cafe is of the upmost importance!

    Note the broccoli though – he is still health conscious…

Anytime my mother used the starving African children line on me when I didn’t want to eat something, I would always suggest we wrap it up and mail it to them, but we never did.

  A slice of Bacon Andra – normally swimming in its own fat. Mmmmm…..

    Just one slice? I can’t eat just one slice of bacon……

    I think if you saw the muck they serve up in our Corner Cafes Andra you may change your mind…..

Rasher is bacon strip/slice, (my ex of 32 yrs is British and part of the reason why I find this blog so funny). Great humor. Let me just make one thing perfectly clear: I am a woman and do not give a hoot what men eat. As long as there is a good insurance policy in your name, why bother, lol. (Just joking, joking, joking, of course! lol) I think. lol Thanks, Bob, always fun to visit

  You have a very sensible attitude to relationships! Love your new image by the way.

So Bob’s responsible for the shortage of potable water in the world too?
Three flushes? More roughage = less flushes. Apparently.

Your deep concern for others is admirable, Bob. Cutting out the toast was a good idea anyway. You don’t want to overindulge. i’m a little worried about black pudding. I’m not familiar. I don’t think I want to know…

    I was raised on it – this may explain something

Bob is quite the culinary bargain hunter! … but fish paste sandwiches?

  His upbringing was harsh to say the least Frank

    Harsh seems to be an understatement.
