I've just finished watching that Channel 4 programme about sandwiches broadcast on Monday night.
I'll stick with my bacon butties freshly made at the greasy spoon or the cob shop, thank you very much.
I've always assumed that such things as Pret à Manger or M&S sandwiches were a deep and evil con being perpetrated by capitalist swine, seeking to eradicate any remembrance of good food from our minds so they can sell us pigs' rectums concealed by mayonnaise. It seems I was correct.
If the food was worth eating, they'd sell a sandwich that wasn't slathered in mayonnaise or corrupted by salad. The fact that none of them sells a simple ham sandwich (or chicken, or beef) without feeling the need to smear garbage all over it has, to my mind, always been a giveaway - if the food is that good, how come I can't get ham on bread?
They obviously have something to hide, and they hide it with mayonnaise, salad, and similar gunk. To hell with the lot of them.Join IPSEComment

This was after she'd spent ten minutes updating me on the various mundane details of other family members' lives
It turned out to be some kind of gastric problem... she was able to force them to let her out that night, and she's on the mend
When she was in there the doctor inspected the cardiograph and reassured her that it didn't seem to be a cardiac problem:
Mum: "I used to be a cardiographer in my twenties."
Doctor: "Oh, really? Would you like to have a look?" <turns cardiograph to face her>
Mum: <inspects screen and points:> "That inverted-T anomaly on lead 3 - you needn't worry about that, I've had that since I was twenty."
Startled doctor does double take at screen, thanks her and adds the information to her notesJoin IPSEComment
