Random Irritations

[Robster59]

The fact they've changed the title of this thread. It's ageist! Give yourself a ban.

they should rename it to the “miserable old git’s with nothing to do but moan” thread

Less of the old I'm 34 and love a moan!!

I think the thread title is far more apt. It might even encourage me to contribute to it more often.

Pay more for a better quality oven?

Paying more doesn't necessarily get you better.
When we had a new kitchen, we paid about a grand for a so-called all singing and dancing combination oven. The microwave in it was just terrible. (We ended up buying a cheap counter top microwave). The door seal failed three times in five years. It was a fairly good conventional fan oven, I'll give it that, but not a grand's worth.

Flippin 'eck. You can't even have a random irritation anymore without being called a miserable old git

But with all respect you are comparing apples with oranges..... an integrated combination microwave is a different animal to an oven....cost wise especially

Bloody millennials. Always moaning about something ?

Two days ago a large box arrived at our door, from my work. Assumed it was a hamper because I got one last year as well, but we didn't bother opening it straight away.

Just opened it tonight - it's a whole turkey. Sooo I've now put it in the fridge.. but I'm thinking, that's probably gone off. Right? Oops. It was in a sealed bag with some cold packing around it. But I dunno now.

Noise at 6:45am!!

And to prove the point, a lorry tooting its horn.

There’s more villas being built at the end of our road, 80 metres away. Builders aren’t supposed to start work till 8am. Guess they’re on job and finish today as Christmas Eve night is a big event in the Spanish calendar.

Had the cold packing melted? Was it hot where it was stored? You'd be able to tell by the smell if it was off.

A fine thread title ruined unnecessarily ?.

The packing they use now is brilliant, every chance it is okay. As Chellie mentions, if you take it out of its bag, assume it is vacuum packed, you will soon know by the smell if it is off.

And what am I supposed to do with my random irritations in the meantime?

Yes but food poisoning bacteria is odourless and your meat would still smell fine but could be deadly...relying on smell for food safety is not a good idea. That said without knowing the specifics it difficult to comment on this bird.
