just sat down to some home-made baked beans snaffled from the hot slow cooker on toasted muffins w cheese on top. No one can see you scoff and dribble food when you're working from home 🙂

Bavaria 0% is the sneaky tipple. "Oh I feel drunk! But I can't be! But I do!"

You've changed! I just don't know you any more.

Spinach? [b]SPINACH?!!!![/b] You were doing so well up to that point too. I think what you meant to say was Fish finger, mayo and [s]spinach[/s] cheese single sandwich, on crap white bread with ketchup I think.

Spinach has as much place on a fish finger butty as an air conditioning unit, or a packet of biros

Spinach.

Deal with it.

the issue here is that there is nothing even remotely dirty about spinach, unless it was deep fried and dipped in dripping then deep fried again.

I dropped into town and came back with a very fine proper burger and chips 🙂 Working from home is tough...

Reading the specifications for an air cooled power station condenser just don't do it for me. Sadly.

Mines a fried eggy butty, with fried mushrooms and grated cheese.

I like spinach but it has no place on a fish finger butty.

For me a fish finger butty is fresh Warbies toastie, Anchor butter, four Findus fish fingers and HP sauce. Fab.

Spinach no, no. Like finding a giraffe on your bird table.

I've had a tandoori chicken salad with a pitta. But I'm in work.

Roast beef and tomato chutney wrap for my at work lunch but if I was at home it would have to be a dirty Birds Eye southern fried "chicken" burger in a cheese topped roll or a big plate of cheesy chips with a couple of slices.
Home lunches should not contain any veg/salad - leave those things for at work when you're trying to form the impression of a healthy lifestyle.

I'm nipping out to the butty van for a dirty big burger. I fart in the general direction of your dysfunctional, spinach-violated fish finger butty 😛

Be interesting to see people's reaction at work if you cracked open a nice cool bottle of alcohol free beer at your desk. Shouldn't be any different to opening a can of Coke but it would feel a bit weird.

you'll be telling us next that you had it with a glass of Rosé, sitting on your veranda, whilst contemplating Shelley and listening to Debussy on the gramophone. dahling.

This thread isn't about fish finger butties at all, is it? Its a cry for help. What it tells me is that not only are you confused and conflicted, but you're failing to grasp the very fundamental principles of dirtiness.

The whole spinach thing alone would normally be enough to section you, but with the addition of wholemeal…. oh dear, oh dear…..

You do realise that there are men on the Warburtons Toastie production line who are presently weeping at your misguided slap in their faces

So as a solution to this I'm prescribing you a course of therapy with our resident muckiness expert…..

Drastic? Yes. But its for your own benefit. One day you'll thank me for this

My WFH lunches are generally healthy because I don't live near a chippy or take away and am too lazy to drive or cycle to one. The problem is an open packet of biscuits or the kids sweets, they call my name until the entire packet is gone and I feel sick.

Funny enough I have had becks no alcohol beer before when I have been the designated driver and after 3 or 4 I felt a bit pissed, funny how your mind plays tricks on you.

They've just opened a Waitrose about 200yds from where I live.

I'm middle class by proximity now.

Not dirty? Fish and chips, in a pasty casing, that can be picked up and done in 3 bites?

It's hedonistic filth!

Have you lost your freakin mind?? HP sauce?? 😯 🙄

You sir are in need of councelling

I'm sorry but the word hedonistic cannot be deployed in relation to anything purchased from Marks and Spencer. What you've done there is taken something potentially filthy, and sanitised it. Its in a pastry casing? Exactly the problem, I'm afraid. It should be in a barm cake*, covered in ketchup.

When you're eating that, you're unlikely to experience that feeling of a combination of grease and ketchup running down your chin. And you're unlikely to look ashamed if the vicar calls and finds you in a clinch with it. So therefore it fails on every score

You're names now in the book. You're off to Hora's re-education camp with Harry now too.

* other regional variations of this product name are available, though decidedly wrong. Don't bother arguing. You're wrong. Just accept it

Nope. Sorry. Not unless you're wrestling with a naked lap dancer in a paddling pool, filled with those and gallons of chocolate sauce, placed in the centre of the dance floor at a provincial nightspot, while a baying crowd throw their alcopops over you

You're misguidedly proving my point here

Off to the camp with you. He's waiting….

Straying off topic slightly I've also wondered how this would go down if you cracked one open whilst driving a car...?

Back on topic, I had roasted vegetables, chorizo and butter bean salad on a bed of spinach for lunch. But I did precede that with a custard slice starter at 11am if that counts?

Just come back from the pub, couple of pints of Pale Rider + 2 X cheese, onion and black pudding cobs.
Now on the internet about to surf some ladyboy porn, with a chocolate and creme eclair in one hand...

It don't get any dirtier than that!

Now we're talking. I hope Harry is hanging his head in shame at his outrageous spinach-based faux pas

He certainly will be when Hora starts 'working' on him 😯

70% of all £20 notes in circulation, have traces of M&S chocolate cornflakes.

Greasy fried products are used to bring you back down, gently.

Spinach on a 'dirty' lunch. You have no concept. None sir, none at all 😡

My last home working lunch was Steak Frites, half a bottle of red, and leftover rhubarb crumble. I regard this merely as a good lunch.

Battered deep fried fishfinger sandwich, with salad creme, followed by battered deep fried marsbar sandwich, with Nutella. Washed down with three pints of wifebeater. Now you're beginning to emerge into 'dirty' lunch territory.

I thought 20% of all £20.00's had traces of cocaine? 😀

Bugger eating at home.

Go for a ride at Garve, and then lunch at the burger van.

Here's their Little Wyvis burger (yes little - there's a Big Wyvis burger too).

A dirty lunch for me is chips and curry sauce from the Chinese Chippy.

You dont feel bad afterwards.

A real dirty lunch is KFC. Then you DO feel VERY BAD.

binners, I'm trying to think whether you're more likely to have that picture pinned to a dartboard or placed on the pillow next to yours...
