Were they made of fresh Linda McCartney?

That reminded me of an old joke i once heard.
What do vegetarian worms eat?
Linda McCartney.

Shows how poor we were

You are right, fancy only drawing with Crawley

I am 100% carnivore, but the Linda McCartney sausages that I ate a few years back were superb.

Yeah, they aren't bad and Quorn mince is pretty much indistinguishable from lean beef mince, but for fattier meats it's just not the same

Quorn mince spag bol is lovely

[Samdy Gray]

You're all wrong, there's no substitute for real meat.

You can't buy fake bacon and then complain when it doesn't taste like real bacon.

[Batch]

Eating quorn is pretty much like drinking non alcoholic lager.

As a wise old man said about meat eating. Do or do not. There is no try.

I think this is probably a fair point. I tried Quorn mince once and I didn't like it.

I like a lot of vegetables so would probably attempt to eat various vegetarian meals without faux meat if I was trying to cut meat out.

But I gave up religion for lent when I was born so don't have to worry myself about that.

I don't mind quorn mince, but it's got nothing on the real thing! My old housemate was a veggie and he used to make me some stuff, it wasn't bad but give me a steak any day of the week.

Getting a letter today telling me that because of a security breach at head office all of my personal details have been published on a website - name, address, NI Number, date of birth, bank sort code and account details, phone numbers.

Shit. I hope they're paying for any expenses you incur in sorting that mess out. And giving you time during your work time to sort it all out. That's a massive cockup on their part.

Fucking hell, what a bunch of dicknuts. One for compensation surely...

They have given an assurance that no staff member will be left out of pocket, and have given us a code to get the full Experian data theft protection package. The breach was a disgruntled member of staff deliberately leaking the info. 100,000 members of staff affected. Problem is that this could come back to haunt me at any time down the years.

Experian are fucking useless, worse than. I had a minor ID theft issue which my bank sorted in a couple of months. Whereas I spent two and a half years trying to sort out Experian mixing up my details with someone who owed Lloyds/HFC money. They repeatedly promised me they'd sorted it but my details kept showing up in their searches the debt collectors use so I had over two years of being chased for this other bloke's bad debts. The damage Experian did was worse than the identity thieves.

Day off tomorrow - will go into my bank and see about closing the account and moving everything into a new one.

Why would said member of staff do such a thing? Totally out of order bringing 100,000 staff into his issues, which I presume was against the company and not the 100,000 people involved?
