Okay, so, Iâm running on the assumption that people are taking this seriously. If not, my bad.
THIS IS INCREDIBLY NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL
This womanâs name is Amy, and she owns a bakery/restaurant called Amyâs Baking Company. Not only do they serve the customers store-bought food under the pretense of it being gourmet and house-made, but they treat their customers absolutely terribly. This woman once chased two guys out of her restaurant because they had decided to leave after waiting 2 HOURS FOR THEIR FOOD. SHE WAS PISSED BECAUSE THEY DIDNâT PAY FOR IT. ITâS ALSO PROBABLY GOOD TO MENTION THAT SHE DOESNâT LET THE SERVERS HAVE TIPS, WHICH IF YOUâVE NEVER WORKED AT A RESTAURANT, MEANS THAT THEY GET PAYED FAR BELOW MINIMUM WAGE. AT THE TIME OF THE KITCHEN NIGHTMARES EPISODE, SHE AND HER HUSBAND OPENLY CONFESSED TO FIRINGÂ OVER A HUNDRED EMPLOYEES IN FIVE MONTHS. GORDON RAMSAYÂ GAVE UP ON HER. THIS WOMAN IS NOT A FEMINIST HERO SHE IS A BATSHIT CRAZY FUCKING PSYCHOPATH IF YOU DONâT BELIEVE ME, WATCH THE EPISODE ON YOUTUBE.
Ok sorry for commenting but this woman really is crazy. I went there once and she chewed mmy dad out for âbeing incredibly rude to her and her husbandâ and things along that linebuT THIS FUCKING WOMAN OK. SHE WAS YELLING AT HER EMPLOYEE TO WORK FASTER AND TO STOP BEING AN IDIOT AND SHE WAS TREATING THEM BADLY SO WHAT SOES MY DAD DO? HE LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS âSTOP BEING A BITCH HEâS WORKING AS HARD AS HE CAN GIVEN THE WORKING CONDITIONS IN SCOTTSDALE OK?â AND SHE WENT OFF ON MY DAD BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT HE WAS BEING A DOUCHE AND NO, NO NO NO HELL NO HE WAS NOT. YOU DONâT PUT YOUR EMPLOYEES DOWN IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS EVEN IF YOUâRE PISSED.
how can people actually believe this holy shit. Go watch the kitchen nightmares episode she is fucking psycho I swear to god.
She looks to be trying to keep that new site/business toned way the fuck down and makes zero mention of the Kitchen Nightmares fiasco.
That photo of her “passion fruit meringue tarts” is a photo of lemon meringue pie bites that she (probably) stole off of Pinterest Here’s the actual dessert and the original photographer’s blog too for credit https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/lemon-meringue-pie-bites
god dammit
i was disappointed because i wouldnât be able to get the dream car i wanted so i told you i felt like i would be settling again (like with the prom dress and kinda with college) cuz it always seems to happen that iâll see something i really want but am not in a position to get it, but when i am in that position the thing i wanted is no longer available or able to be found and anything close to it is gone so i have to get the second best thing on my list (which usually works out fine if not better in the long run but im still a bit sad initially)
and now you want to set aside time to have a discussion about my feelings and how sad/guilty you feel because you thing i got it from you??
NOOO
i donât want to talk about feelings ever nor do i want to tell some random stranger about it in a therapy/counseling session this is why i donât tell you shit because it always loops around to your catholic guilt nonsense and âheart-to-heartâ conversations
i want to ignore it because chances are it was a one time passing emotion and you say âi dont want to harp about it or pressure youâ but the fact that we were even having this chat is harping about it already! fuckin christ i never want to talk about feelings ever especially not to you because eventually youâll start feeling guilty and bad like everything was all your fault and i donât want to deal with your ridiculous catholic guilt and you feeling bad so i donât want to talk about it ever especially not in an awkward couch interview interrogation in the living room way again like when i was a kid
fuck iâd rather get drunk than have that conversation and i HATE alcohol or the whole getting drunk concept so lets just not have that chat and say we did and ignore it til we all forget about it k?

Schoolgirl discovers âExcaliburâ sword in lake from Arthur legend
A schoolgirl will have quite a story to tell when she returns to the classroom â after discovering a sword in the same lake King Arthurâs legendary Excalibur was thrown.
Matilda Jones, aged seven, from Doncaster, found the sword when she was paddling in Dozmary Pool, in Cornwall with her dad, Paul.
Paul, aged 51, had told Matilda and her sister Lois, four, about the legend of King Arthur on their journey to the lake.
He said: âIt was a blistering hot day and Matilda asked if we could go for a paddle.
âShe was only waist deep when she said she could see a sword.
âStrange women lyinâ in pondsâŚâ and other Dennis the Anarcho-cynical (not a typo) Mud-Farmer quotes notwithstanding, Iâd like to think the Lady of the Lake would select the new âRightwise King(Monarch) Born of All Englandâ by providing something better than a mass-produced and discontinued Spanish SLO.
Maybe this was a trial (though not dry) run – if so, Matilda and her Dad should get back to Cornwall / Kernow ASAP.
Although
on second thoughts, last time a Matilda laid claim to the English
throne there was civil war and anarchy. In fact there was THE Anarchy, which made for a good novel by George Shipway (âKnight in Anarchyâ, what a surprise) but by all accounts wasnât a lot of fun otherwise.
(The ârightwise king born of all Englandâ business was on the Sword in the Stone (and anvil, everyone forgets the anvil) which apparently wasnât Excalibur at all. A war memorial, perhaps, as T. H. White suggested. What the Lady of the Lake was waving about was a different sword entirely, and the really important bit was its scabbard, which granted invulnerability, or undefeatability, or a reliable broadband signal 24/7âŚ)
Maybe the one in Dozmary Pool was lost during some Arthurian re-enactment – or maybe it was deliberately chucked away by someone whoâd hoped for something better on their birthday, because when I saw what Matilda foundâŚ
âŚI recognised it as thisâŚ
âŚfrom here.
Noble Collection sells movie merchandise nowadays, but back then they sold decorative wall-hangers (SLOs – sword-like objects – is the less kindly term) made by Marto of Toledo among others, with frequently-spiky fantasy blades, ornate cast pot-metal handles and ooh-shiny! gold plating. However their version of âExcalibur" – itâs there on the cover – looked sensible enough to feature in the TV movie âThe Librarianâ.
Though the catalogue calls the
sword found by Matilda
a âmedieval two handed swordâ itâs based, more or less, on a Renaissance âFederschwertâ sparring blunt (the flare above the guard was balance-compensation for not having a full-width blade.)
Hereâs a real one.
Not especially Arthurian, whether Arthur was Clive Owenâs Romano-Sarmatian, Oliver Tobiasâs Dark Age Celt or Nigel Terryâs High Middle Ages Anglo-Brit.
Apparently there are now also synthetic Federschwert from various sources.
At least they wonât rust when chucked into ponds. The Lady of the Lake likes low maintenance as much as anyone elseâŚ
âŚA little while before dinnertime this groan of âOh, GAWDâ came
from upstairs. Then the sounds of the bookshelves being ransacked, and
more mutters of âWhy couldnât it have been something nice in the water for herâŚâ
(sigh) Another day in Sword Central.
