Dear Air Canada...

Dear Air Canada...

• Thank you for delaying our return flight by over 4 hours because you did not think it was necessary to get a pilot,
• Thank you for then cancelling our flight at midnight without any apology,
• Thank you for refusing to rebook us or provide any accommodation or catering,
• Thank you for failing to answer the customer service phone number until we gave up at around 3am,
• Thank you for employing that b*tch Francesca who nearly got slapped for her rudeness to us and other customers whom you were, quite literally, kicking out into the cold.

Consider yourselves lucky that your country is so awesome, otherwise you wouldn't have very much going for you.

Hilariously inappropriate review

Whilst checking out reviews for washing machines, I came across this little gem.  Somebody clearly wants the ex-wife to know he's doing just fine without her and her washing machine!

Charred Shortbread Hearts

Here is my recipe for shortbread hearts

 


Recipe
125g softened butter
55g caster sugar
180g plain flour

Directions

• Beat the butter and sugar together until smooth.  Give up after 5 minutes and pass to Chris to do it properly.
• Stir in the flour and work into a smooth paste. Give up after 5 minutes and pass to Chris.
• Turn out onto a floured surface and roll to 1cm thick, giving up after 10 minutes of it sticking to the worktop and rolling pin, gather it up and re-flour the surface.
• End up rolling it much thinner than intended, use a heart shaped cutter but mess up the shape by peeling the hearts off an inadequately floured surface.
• Place on a oven tray lined with baking parchment and sprinkle with icing sugar.
• Place in fridge to chill, then put into a preheated oven at 190 degrees (gas mark 5) for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown
• Check the biscuits after barely 15 minutes to find that they're starting to burn because they were rolled far too thin.
• Melt white chocolate over them to cover up the burnt taste and enjoy.

While we were at Tesco getting the ingredients for my shortbread hearts, we found an awesome DVD:
