Edit... Is that the deposit in Canada? It's a lot more here I'm sure you know.

I've had the misfortune to use three different inflatable mattresses that all burst over the course of a few days in the last year in two different places. It was an emergency situation.

About Burger King... All I can remember is they used to let you smoke in there years ago.

On that topic, I thought McDonald's Filets were always cod it even used to say it on the box. But I don't think they are anymore but the price is still the same. I only mention it because there's really not much I can eat from there anyway.

Played the first Underwater scene thing in VR Worlds last night after a couple of drinks. It was awesome and I nearly cried seeing the flapflap manta rays!

That was the deposit for the ****hole I used to live in during the previous economic crunch in 2010/11, when the rent was $825/month. I did also have to pay a non-refundable $250 pet deposit.

Here in our new place the deposit was $1000 plus $350 non-refundable pet fee and the rent is $1300.

I have to laugh at some Amazon Q&A sections when you get answers like:
"I don't have this product, so I can't help answer your question."

Stuffed vine leaves, olives, humus and pita bread. Mm mmm. Love the Mediterranean diet.

After entering sooo many competitions/giveaways over the years and i have won a few small prizes like games and computer case I have finally won something pretty big got the limited edition 8086k Intel processor, which would be a major improvement on my 4690k.

Of course only draw back is i would need to get a motherboard and ram but still with the processor taken care off saves me a lot of money

For a second there, I thought you'd won one of these:

[Zen Monkey]

Cheese on toast topped with sliced piccolo tomatoes, a splash of worcester sauce and seasoning. The little extras make the difference.

That’s more like it. I don’t want to hear about humus again though, revolting stuff.

Everything about this thread has been great for pages. Well done people

You don't like humus? That's crazy talk. I used to eat it almost every day in the middle east. Falafel, humus and salad in pita is one my favourite meals. It's cheap, tasty and nutritious.

To paraphrase Dave Chappelle: if you don't like humus, summin' wrong wit you!

Humus in Japan isn't cheap so my wife makes it occasionally. So goooood.

Ate it practically every day, if not every weekend as a treat growing up. Love the stuff!

I remember I had made myself a cooked chicken salad and houmous/ hummus/ humus sandwich for school and my best friend thought it would be cheeky to nick it out of my lunchbox before I got to it and take a bite. She was heaving for ages, she can't stand the stuff!

Another girl I knew I stayed over hers one weekend for the first time and we decided to get stuff for a picnic. My special things to include were smoked cheese and Humus. Weather turned bad so we ate it on the floor in her living room. She had not ever tried either and was converted that weekend. Spent the rest of the day playing Mischief Makers (which I had not got to play before) and Mario Kart 64 so a good day all round!
