Is there a word that means "to try to find something and fail, but in the process you find something else you were trying to find and failed last time"?
" Method"

A delicious one, obviously.
This time next week we'll be leaving Finchley for the last time
How long have you been you there? What will you miss? I think we'll miss your pictures from walks on the heath.
Yummylicious.
I've never smoked
Nor me. It was always the smell that put me off. I have seen how hard it is for people to give up but I don't understand people who don't want to give up.
Just seen the medical report. Doesn't look great long term. I'm currently tipped forward 10 degrees after the fracture to my spine. I'm compensating for it as it's wedging some of my discs in the area of the damaged L1. He doesn't think I can maintain this long term. Options would be injections or surgery where they cut away part of my vertibrae. Specialist not hopefull I will continue to cycle. Pain likely to remain.
I ain't giving up riding. Just not near traffic. Quite sobering reading the report. I did mash myself up a bit.
Gosh. Not good.
[QUOTE 4656569, member: 21629"]Fekin ice in the morning.

I fell off my bike, hit the knee and it still hurts.
Anyway, I had to sign a bunch of papers at work (clock no., name & surname, date & signature) and it took me almost 2 hours to do so. Not because the bunch was large but because my surname is 15 letters long.

I asked if someone would like to marry me for the next couple of hours just to save me from those 15 letters ... but everybody just laughed.

Ouch for the knee. How is it now?
Sounds like you are good company for your new colleagues.
Is it me or do we have "new posts and threads" rather than just "new posts" at the top of the page?

I missed that. Good idea!
[QUOTE 4657217, member: 21629"]There's something very wrong with me. I started cooking. I have been in real love with microwave for a few years - buy crap frozen food, place it into microwave, "food" is ready 5 minutes later.
Now I spend at least 30 minutes every evening in the kitchen making proper salad or oven baked chicken or something else.
And any thought about fast food from microwave makes me sick.

Very impressed. Real food is always nicer.
