    No ones posted anything for over eight hours and I was bored - its lunch time and I was looking for a little light reading - so I will kick off a new Lounge topic.

    I just had a very nice apple for lunch. It was a Jazz (mmmm nice) variety, succulent,  crisp and bursting with juicy flavours.

    How was your lunch?

    Well there was this post and this post and a few others within the last 8 hours so not too sure what is up with your forum icons? 😉

    Just about to have my lunch. I take a packed lunch to work every day 😉

    Cheers,

    Touchy subject - I haven’t any lunch, and I forgot my wallet today so I can’t even buy any.

    Eek that’s not good. I did that about two weeks ago and I was in work really early and finished late so I was completely exhausted at the end of the day. Definitely feeling for you on that one Andy.

    Take it steady mate!

    Best wishes,

    Lunch? I ate dinner only an hour before your post. That’s life in Asia.

    Anyhow for lunch I had some really lousy convenience store bread washed down with crappy canned coffee - Yeah for Tuesday’s and only 5 minutes for lunch.

    Where’s all the vending machines or vendors that accept PayPal/SCM. Did you try googling one on your favorite .mobi site?
    I go out for lunches or stay in and get a vendor sandwich from the “wheel of death” machine (it’s not that bad really), or rarely pack when there’s leftovers and I’m not being too lazy.

    I almost never forget my wallet, but in case I ever do, I carry a little cash in my pants pocket.

    Those days when I forget my pants, though…

    Nice choice of Apple Simon.

    We are very proud of Jazz which is a local product from down here.

    “The apple are sweet, crunchy and juicy. They have a firm, but dense flesh and a rich sweet flavour”

    In about another hour I to will also be enjoying a Jazz for Lunch.

    Cheers

    Now then are you talking pants American or pants English as it means a slightly different story over this side of the pond 😉

    So, you’re one of the, and I quote, “unruly southern British English speakers”, unquote? In American English as well as for “the majority of British English speakers”, the meaning is clear: a long outer garment worn at the hips, aka “trousers”.

    Note: insert smileys where appropriate.

    Why southern? In the UK pants are under garments no matter where you reside. I have never been a southerner and find that quite offensive 😊

    I don’t think there’s a smiley that represents what I am feeling after reading that!!  😡

    Why offensive? Southern is FAR better than Northern. Yeah!

    True though. THESE are pants.

    Ah this is more like it - a fight over pants. Mark is right - pants are underwear in the UK. The word pants is also used here (especially in my household) as a mild expletive when something goes slightly wrong or awry: “Oh pants…”.

    Back on topic: Today I have some Red Williams pears. These are from Argentina. They have a rosey red blush and melt in your mouth.

    @BlueSkies - my Jazz was indeed from good old New Zealand! However in future they may well be English as there is a farm over here that has been maturing an orchard for the past couple of years getting ready to produce the variety.

    On XFM (London alternative radio station) this morning Alex Zane was discussing the increase of squirrel as a ‘green’ food product in the UK. Who is having squirrel for lunch today?

    Hey, I was just quoting Wikipedia. Given the tone of the article, and the list of edits, it will change soon enough, I’m sure.
