Nothing worse than paper thin flimsy bacon. The only bacon I like is the thick stuff, like back bacon as you mention, and it has to be well done too.
I've always much preferred sausages to be honest. People do go on about bacon like it's the holy grail of foods, but give me a sausage sarnie any day.

...getting up at 5:00am to start work at 5:30am as we needed to complete some work on a client's network before start of their working day...
Now that's OK...what's irritating is that we ran into an issue that meant we were unable to complete the work and had to reverse it all out - very stressful. And so another early start beckons another day. Ho hum. I can easy do the early starts - but I don't know that I can be bothered with the stress.

Do you need the money? If you do, then you need the job, or a job. If you can live without the money, time to walk away. One of the best decisions I ever made. Yes its a lot less money than when I was working but we're comfortable.
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen springs to mind
I was in a role I hated and doing me no favours health wise both physically and mentally. Got out into my current role and best thing I ever did. Totally out of my comfort zone and a world away from the areas I'd worked in since 83 in different companies but something I have managed to mould and develop, take on more responsibility (and a promotion) and one which I relish even in the middle of the first pandemic.

Most frustrating! I hate it when I get to office at 6am so I can work on a quote when it’s quiet or catch up on certificates only to find the computer won’t boot up or it’s doing some update! And IT support doesn’t open till 9! ?

We have an enormous DVD collection which has been sitting in boxes for a couple of years since nobody uses DVDs anymore. Last night we downloaded the Music Magpie app, spent nearly two hours scanning them all in to see what they offered us. Most of them were between 1p and 5p, or they just said we don't accept this one. A handful fetched a little more, and one of them was randomly £2.25 - but in the end they took 133 DVDs & old PS3 games and will pay us a total of £13.88 for them. And I now have to find a cardboard box big enough for 133 DVDs so I can take it down the Hermes shop. I'm really not sure it's worth the effort.

I don't get why they can't just censor the one offensive word of the song, like they would for a swearword. Seems simple enough to me.

I've had enough heat over the years...and in general it never used to bother me. But with all the stresses of life today and of the world in which we now live and will be living in for the coming few years - and given my ambitions in context of work are limited...what the heck.
As you have suggested (indirectly
) I am moving into a new role that, though in an area I know little about, may well (hopefully) be less stressful. Who knows. Will see. If it doesn't work for me I'll look to move again.Just irritating that this morning something that should have been very straightforward ended up so stressful.

I do smile when watching Battlestar Galactica how often the characters used the word 'frak'
In effect that is what they have done. They are using a version that Kirsty McColl sang on TotP I believe with the word changed. R2, edgy station
, are playing the original still.
I have to enter the Sky adult password each time to watch that show. Is frak the reason? There is nothing else on the show that makes it worthy of restrictions as far as I can tell, and frak doesn't merit it either.I do smile when watching Battlestar Galactica how often the characters used the word 'frak'

That word used as a profanity has been in Sci-fi for a long time, which I didn’t realise but I must agree. The reimagined Battlestar Galactica is definitely an adult’s show so I don’t get why they didn’t just swear.I do smile when watching Battlestar Galactica how often the characters used the word 'frak'

Playing a totally different version of it is probably not what people want though, they'll want the original. They make a massive song and dance about the language in it every year, I just think censoring the one offensive word without making an issue about it would have been better.In effect that is what they have done.

Could be - though I'm watching on iPlayer and no such restriction.
Similar to Nevil Shute in his book Pied Piper in which he has two British squaddie characters using 'muck' in context of such as 'a total muck up'
Australian English apparently...
