Just peel the onions, dunk it into water for a minute and also wet the knife you will use to chop them.


The irritant that makes you cry sticks to the wet blade and onions can be chopped with no outward displays of emotion.

I will add that to the memory bank for posterity. If only I had asked here first. Cheers, boss

I've bought a big bore kit to take one of my dirtbikes from 249cc to 441cc, which has cost more than I paid for the bike and am not letting a Cambodian machinist anywhere near it, so organising the logistics of getting the kit shipped from CA to OR, a new cylinder housing shipped from MA to OR, paying all these folks and getting it all sent to my re-shipper in CA to be freighted over here so I can put the wee monster together and make bruum bruum noises.

You must really, really, love that fucking bike. I assume you're referring to American states there?

That puts my recent trips to Halfords for my beloved new car into perspective. :D

Felix, your loft is a fuckin mansion compared to some of the loft spaces i have to enter, but at least I go in, do the job then fuck off. It always amazes me how these sparkys do their shit in totally confined spaces...

They probably do it quickly and badly.

I'm joking, sparkies.

 

[koneko]

Hardly surprising. That was a horror show of the worst sides of humanity.

Then apologies for the comparison Jude lol :D Your stories from Cambodia and engines just remind me of him Tough stuff eh..

I return your wave I'm currently cooking my mammy some spicy dinner because my da's a fussy coot (he had steak and chips). I tried a tip I saw about putting your onions in the microwave for 15 seconds before you chop them, as this is supposed to stop your eyes from watering. It has not worked

Stand away from the onions whilst chopping so the invisible fumes do not hit your eyes. Easy peasy. Also good for the posture lol. Good for you cooking for your mum, both of my boys love cooking but never cook for me They take me out to dine instead. I'm too critical poor things...

It's actually number four in the pecking order. Yes, American states. Great aftermarket, and people who love to help as they are only doing those jobs to pursue shared interests, by and large.

A 1992/4 (not sure) Suzuki DR250S, which means it has an electric starter.

I've never seen it run. I bought for for $200 a few years ago.

But I did have another dirt model Suzuki DR250 a few years ago and loved it, except it couldn't wheelie above 2nd gear and cracked my shin kickstarting it.

And the 250's had a taller fifth and sixth gear than the DR350's, but 10% smaller valves and combustion chamber and a 1mm smaller little end.

So I have bought a 350cc head, new cam, crank, valves, camchain, conrod, complete electricial system, new rims, tubes, tires, carb kit, brake rebuild kits, cables, bars, and now this monster bigbore. Oh, and repainted the frame, rebuilt the suspension and have managed to do all this without the wife noticing I've been waxing money on bike parts. It SHOULD be a scarily torquey under suspended widow maker

So it's love/hate at the moment. Will need another 40 hours of my time minimum, then I can begin the process of breaking it again.

It took me a while to see what was different there :D

The word 'wank' just doesn't jump out like it used to

My mammy would probably say she liked it even if it was shite. I'd rather honesty. Although, I suppose I can taste it for myself. I'm usually more critical of my own cooking!

 

[koneko]

.... and have managed to do all this without the wife noticing I've been waxing money on bike parts..

LOL!

I just said to Felix, yeh, his wife will notice but she won't say anything as its her quid pro quo...gotta keep the boy happy eh 8)

Go ask her Jude, so I can win the bet

 

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Nah, wives never notice our craftiness, do they... ??

Edit: yes they fuckin do...

 

[koneko]

..My mammy would probably say she liked it even if it was shite. I'd rather honesty. Although, I suppose I can taste it for myself. I'm usually more critical of my own cooking!

Would she though? Do you know who your mammy is? She actually might like it :D It's a weird moment when mammy and adult son go "holy fuck you're a human person too" and I never knew!!! Gotta love that moment Well, especially if you like each other...

Scary, but good %)

Nah, wives never notice our craftiness, do they... ??

Aye, we notice everything and don't you forget it

 

[Don Luigi]

I think she would, unless it was really terrible. She tried to spare my feelings a few months ago when I made a disaster of a curry. Both me and my father were of the opinion that it was watery and shite haha.

I think I do know who my mammy is, and have accepted that she is a person with her own foibles. That is how I was able to forgive her after four years of not speaking to her. She may not care for any pursuits that are remotely intellectual, but she loves her family more than anything (despite some of her actions, as I say - we're all human with our own foibles), and seems to be most content when she's the host I love her, really, despite all my mental sighs and her literal sighs haha.

... says it all. I didn't realise you had a restoration project on the go. Nice one. :D

Just to clarify what "koneko" said earlier: I said "there's no way his wife knows about that" and she said "Oh yes she does". Hah.

Well, she knows it's there. And she knows that I want it running soon, but expresses doubt that it will, haha!

She knows I have been gathering parts for this process. She does not know that the parts being currently lined up cost three times the price of the bike

Not that she would mind. There's kid and household money, her money, savings money and my money portions to each months pay. What I do with mine is up to me, as along as she doesn't see me snorting blow off a hookers ass or something silly like that.

Cheers Jude, I win the bet %)

 

[Jackal]

Cheers Jude, I win the bet %)

Cool, sorry felix! What do you win then?

Does he get to do the dishes wearing assless chaps for a week or summat similar?

 

[Sadie]

Felix in ass-less chaps. Well now, that's an image. Thanks Jude.

She's just chuffed because she lost a bet in regards to me No, not involving ass-less chaps either

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Just peel the onions, dunk it into water for a minute and also wet the knife you will use to chop them.


The irritant that makes you cry sticks to the wet blade and onions can be chopped with no outward displays of emotion.

Wearing glasses and / or having a big open pan of water next to the chopping board also helps with onions, The stingy juices are attracted to moisture, and if they cant get in and have somewhere to divert to, that would probably be better than what i imagine would be soggy onions (no good for frying to a burnt crisp?)

 

[mydrugbuddy]

one day I'll be rid of my filthy penis envy I swear. Its almost gone now tbh. Just tends to emerge from thee ether in disbelief sometimes to say 'aye', like this post, or when I find a male critter who doesn't appear to appreciate what he's got.

( none of that was aimed at anyone in particular BTW .. just musing)

As this is all alien to me, what type of penises do you envy? Small, medium or large, presumably ones that can shoot huge jets of flying cum shots at least. Bah my 'performance' has gone downhill since benzos and opis entered the scene, at least im blaming them and not my age, maybe once im off them my 'performance' will return. Though it'll probably never be the same as it was it my late teens and 20s, early 30s. Sorry if this is far tmi, dunno whats come over me, no pun intended.

I'll just cut a square "utility" flap in my red dungarees, job done. %)

And I said that Jude's wife wouldn't know about the cost of all that, so I dunno how "koneko" reckons she won that particular debate.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

I'm doing everything except what i need to do most, which is clean the kitchen and wash the dishes. Even though i have minimalised the collection i still seem to have accumulated a hell of a lot. Im gonna break it down into 15 minute chunks, I'll probably find that once i get going, I'll be able to stick at it, until its all done.

I haven't half wasted this week off work starting it off with a pentedrone all nighter and then followed by 2 days of o-dt was definitely not the most conducive way to start what was meant to be a productive week. I was meant to be tackling my kratom habit too, but the 2 days of odt raised my tolerance even more. It was a very bad idea. Im gonna have to forgeo all treats to make any progress with this thing hanging over me. 8(

I'm doing everything except school work which is getting urgent, i.e mostly cleaning the kitchen and washing hte dishes to OCD level.
