Universal Love 2022-24 Random Chat - BBQ, Other Food, Cats, Whatever

Caved and bought a pair of RM Williams Boots.
Holy lord best set of boots I've ever bought. So comfy
A friend of mine got a deal to buy a dozen bottles of a good wine for $900 and they threw in a pair of RM's worth $600. So he basically got the boots thrown in for the retail price of the wine.
 
Fiancees birthday tomorrow so I've been making her a tiramisu. She has a bunch of annoying food intolerances like fructose (gluten) and lactose so she doesn't really get to have many fun desserts.

So, home made lactose free mascarpone cheese:

Triangular bandage as muslin cloth worked well.

Home made gluten free lady fingers:

My amazing piping bag skills are on show.

Nearly finished product to rest in fridge for 24 hours:

I really rate the word 'campaigner'.

That Ginnivan kid has a really punchable head.

There's a cat that lives around the corner from me. Her name is AJ ... short for Angelina Jolie. She's a beautiful cat. I think if it was a choice between the cat and the actress, I'd take the cat.

Joe Walsh is one weird looking/acting dude.

If you can see a link between the above statements, then you need to change your medication.
 
Ben Simmons mental health issues are causing his back pain lol

That's a real thing tbf, I had pretty bad neck and back pain as a result of stress. I don't doubt that for a second, the severity however is questionable
 

On Monday, Smith said Simmons “might also be the weakest, most pathetic excuse for a professional athlete we’ve ever seen in not just American history but the history of sport.”
Smith explained he and Foxx are close friends and called him “maybe the greatest talent in the history of Hollywood, with his talent and range,”

Haha, loves the big statement this bloke.

Wait a second Steven A is black. So is black on black racist now aswell
I think Foxx is saying you don't see the same kind of critisism for white athletes like Brady or Rodgers. Which I think is not at all fair comparison and not really true either.
 
Also lmao
Smith said that they talk about sports regularly, and that Foxx has “no credibility when it comes to sports” — because he’s a Cowboys fan.
I like this guy.

Rodgers carries on like a baby at times, but he suits up and ******* plays

Not sure what the issue with Brady is though

And Simmons wants $27m not to play because his former teams coaches said he played bad

You just knew KD was going to hate this guy.

Look, if you can’t suit up because you’re scared, it’s whatever. Some people have real mental health issues, and he clearly seems to be one. But the dude thinking he should still get paid is what’s mind blowing. Just agree to have your contract torn up and go away and enjoy your life.

I think Brady cops a bit because of his political views, which has nothing to do with his professionalism as an athlete.

The only major example I can think of with Rodgers lacking professionalism was lying about being vaccinated, which was s**t but he did get rightly criticsised for it. Both are among the greatest and most accomplished players of their generation which is why the comparision is stupid.

A few years back the Victorian government paid him a million dollars to promote Victoria/Melbourne when he was here in his off season

He turned up to the casino in a tracksuit (which is clearly against the dress code), then when he was knocked back he went on this massive social media tirade about how Australia is still racist and has a long way to go to get away from race profiling blah blah blah

He never mentioned he was dressed in attire that isn't prohibited or that the security guard that refused him entry wasn't even white

Another great quote from the deluded fool.

No what irks the Australian people is your prima donna attitude, lack of determination and all round flog attitude

This isn't an NBA problem or a 76ers problem or a Nets problem. It's a Ben Simmons problem. What a waste of talent. Dude got all the physical attributes to be all time greatest in basketball, most we'd all be envious of, and he is being a gigantic baby. * him in all regards. I am pretty sure I'd like to be over 7 feet tall and dominating the court. Dude makes Jack Watts look good. I loathe those that waste their talents.
