Breakfasting at your desk

[NickFitz]

They don't seem to sell them in cloggers (and I have yet to find a bacon sarnie)...

My Dutch ex-girlfriend and I were camping in Middelburg once (before she was ex, obviously) and she nipped off to the local supermarket to get the ingredients for breakfast - I'd got her sold on the undoubted health benefits of a full English by this time.

As we were frying up, she explained that she'd had to ask at the butcher's counter for them to slice some bacon specially thick, as the Dutch way is to slice it extremely thinly and eat it uncooked. The butcher was most interested when she explained the concept of slicing it thicker and then frying it; he'd genuinely never heard of such a thing

I dont usually get the train to work but have to this week. I've never seen anything like it! yesterday there was a girl with her foot about 6inches from somebody's face manicuring it, picking out all the jam from her toenails.

Today I was stuck between a woman doing her make-up, powdering her face, with powder going everywhere, and the penis-forehead on the other side was having a shave!!!!

Can't people get ready before leaving the house!!! I nearly bust a blood vessel this morning, I feel like Michael Douglas in Falling Down!!

Why don't you just travel 1st class?

There's a contractor that travels other than 1st class

I tend to skip breakfast but have a bottle of whisky in my desk drawer. That keeps the hunger away.

Vodka is less obvious...mix with fresh orange juice and people will think you're just being healthy

I love that well cooked thin sliced bacon the Americans have
Thick sliced never seems to be cooked enough

They don't seem to sell them in cloggers (and I have yet to find a bacon sarnie) but apparently cheese sarnies are the desk breakfast ( and lunch and dinner) of choice over here.

I used to like Dutch breakfasts. I shared an apartment with a cloggie and a couple of Norwegians and we were a bit more adventurous than just cheese.

The good thing about weekend parties there was that guests would come back next morning to help clear up and bring fresh breakfast goodies with them.

The bad thing about that was that sooner or later someone would crack open the booze and it'd all start again.
