State of the Game

Once again, you prove the point I was making!
You take no notice of what is, only what 'should be' in your perception of the game.
If you expected what was sold (not what was talked about as possible) you wouldn't be bleating every few minutes about how poor Frontier are, or how the game isn't the game you thought you were buying, just making the most of what the game actually is.
Did you expect ship interiors in Odyssey at launch too? (which it has been launched, no matter the opinions of the few)
Back in my pharmacy days, we had nutritional feeds like egg nog, asparagus etc. I shuddered to think what they were like.
You can still get those horrid savoury varieties in hospital....!
There was a junior doc who used to come to the dept each morning as he gladly drank the (out of date!) fortisips we had amassed as all hosp pharms do - we would always oblige.
But one April 1st, we planned a prank on him - carefully drew out all of the sweet juice from an apple fortijuice, replacing it with mushroom flavour savoury bile.
We didn't see him for the rest of that week, and he never said a word about it, so to this day we still presume he thought it had gone off!
I should also add that this went down with the blessing of our chief, after he stumbled across us with big 50ml syringes stuck in a fortijuice carton! Happy days!
Towards the end of my job there I had the task of reorganising and mapping the pharmacy, and while cleaning the database I'd come across some really funny flavours- "Sunday Roast" made me laugh
Fortisips were the saviour back in junior doc days - weekends on call with minimal time to eat, couple of fortisips used to keep you ticking over.... but they were bloody awful! I'm sure we'd get more nutrition into people with full fat milk and crusha milk shake syrup and a dollop of ice cream!
The more syrupy ones were nice too
When I was hospitalized in France we were allowed to have sugary Coke as a drink, and when you are sat in a room for a month it was my sole treat as my marbles slowly rolled down the hill
Disagree. Asparagus makes a good breakfast when grilled and paired with whole grain bread, a salmon patty and an egg.
Surely Brussels Sprouts, Lima Beans and Beef Liver are to blame!!
I don't understand the hatred towards sprouts. As green veg go they're not terrible.

Did you ever see the seasonal ones? Tell no lie, I can't remember which company made them, but we used to get a couple of the 27 pack pallet things in for Christmas where our older people couldn't leave - they used to do a savoury dinner one, and an Xmas pudding sweet one! Still never had the balls to try one though!
That's exactly what this fella was doing. Most of the juniors "borrowed" theirs from the wards when on long shifts, but this guy we pranked was a strange one, as he just wanted the out of date ones - waste management!
Well, you do look like Lawrence Llewellyn Grohl, so your opinion is undervalued...!
Aren't they listed as a weapon of Biological warfare and banned?
Best case, they're at the bottom of the list of edible vegetables, tied with Lima Beans. Worst case, they're on the DO NOT
Heck, I'll even eat kale, collard greens and okra before sprouts/limas.
In Scotland they're banned because ya know vegetables.
You lot will probably start a petition to have me banned from this thread but here goes....
Did you know that there is a genetic disposition to detecting the bitter taste of sprouts. Those without the gene cannot detect the bitterness and think that sprouts are 'just another vegetable'!
On that basis I classify sprouts as a biological weapon, and banned under Geneva Conventions!
