And honestly, not much of a breakfast person. Wake up, get some cold coffee I prepared, pour some to half fill the mug, then pour milk to fill the mug.
No mixing, just chug it down and get a shower. No sugar either. So bitter especially since I tend to make sure there's a lot of coffee in the water, but goes down well with the milk. Even if at my age milk tends to upset my stomach. Without it the cold coffee just feels watery

So my perfect full English breakfast would compromise of the following; - 2-3 rashers of bacon (smoked back bacon, not streaky bacon you North American philistines) - 2 Sausages (Lincolnshire preferably, but not too fussy on this selection) - 2 fried/poached eggs (runny yolk, not scrambled) - Mushrooms (I f***ing love mushrooms with any meal and they are perfect for fry-ups) - 1 Black Pudding (yeah I know what it is, so what, big whoop, wanna fight about it?) - Half a grilled tomato or one peeled plum tomato - 1 slice of buttered white toast - Ketchup/black pepper available on the table. Brown sauce is unacceptable in any society. - English breakfast tea. Milk, but strong, no sugar. - Orange juice if available Baked beans are optional - I don't mind a few but I wouldn't choose them preferably, they take up too much space on the plate and are too boring to eat. I will have your baked beans as I can’t have a traditional English breakfast with out loads of them & you can have my mushrooms as can’t even look at them. They remind me of cooked slugs 😋 |

To be blunt, they wouldn't have to, because if Orton decided he wanted to have a tag team feud rather than a meaningless singles match, they would accomodate him and probably praise him for being selfless. Except they were trying to give these 2 world title shots not meaningless matches. How many title shots has Naomi ever even had? She's won the title twice, sooooo... |

Admittedly I'm being hyperbolic, but this isn't the first time that she's done something like this, not to mention the meme had to start somewhere. Yes it's been exaggerated, but the meme isn't totally without merit. I also agree that WWE's plan in this case was stupid, but it is also true this wouldn't be the first time she's demonstrated attitude problems. Both things can be true. Sasha's done enough jobbing in her career that I can't really take seriously that this was about that, particularly since a) it was debunked that she was losing on RAW, b) as many people have pointed out, wrestling for the main titles is a much bigger deal than defending the tag titles, and c) Naomi also walked out, and everyone seems to just assume Sasha led the way and she... can't think for herself? I guess? Even though for all we know it was her idea in the first place? |

Hot take: the team would have looked better after having (and losing) marquee world title matches at the PPV than they would rolling over Doudrop and Nikki. I'll tell you what they wouldn't have looked like doing that: A tag team. Also, if they were going to have an actual feud with Doudrop and Nikki, they presumably were going to look vulnerable to them (possibly including losing singles or non-title matches), which would make them look better. |

One of them she literally won at WrestleMania by making the champ submit. But oh no, she wasn’t happy with a title match at the prestigious Hell in a Cell PPV, I guess. |

Know how you make your tag titles meaningless? You have your tag champs fart around as singles filler instead. Remember how great and elevated everything was with the Kabuki Warriors vs. Becky and sometimes Charlotte feuds, and Charlotte gunning for Becky's title? We've seen this song and dance before. If Sasha and Naomi cared about the titles and tried to make them meaningful then that's more care than the writers ever show.

Random thing as I am slow to see this Why is everyone acting like walking out on your job is this huge, awful thing? Calling people unprofessional etc.? They didn't like something they were asked to do at their workplace, they tried to change it, it didn't change, they left I did the same six months ago at a job I didn't like due to bad management, no one told me I was unprofessional lol I'm making assumptions here but your job was probably a job that has a high turnover rate, or an organization that doesn't value it's workers. If you worked a more competitive job or a job with specialized skills it would be tougher to just walk out of a situation. When you walked out of your job they probably had your replacement with in the week. When you aren't as replaceable is when people start caring if you show up or not. Nah it would have taken months to get someone in and trained up, they really struggled to even find people qualified to apply in this part of the country and certainly none with the experience But even so - that's not what I am talking about, I mean people I know, people I worked with etc. not the organisation. And again, last point I promise lol You're talking about WWE employees, aren't they the very definition of an organisation that doesn't value their workers and making them easily replaceable?? Khan sacks people with no notice under contract, but choosing to leave with no notice under contract is unprofessional?? Just a very odd point of view imo |

In light of the discussion on this thread about cereal and milk before or after the actual cereal. Being a card carrying member of the milk second club for nearly 40 years, I decided to try milk first. 🤮🤮🥴 what the actual f*** people ? It hurt my brain just doing it. I… just why.

Feel like there’s a lot of people believing that this walkout was just over this single creative decision. None of us know for sure, but I’d put the odds of it being about that near zero.
Again, Sasha was one of the people pushing for womens tag titles in the first place; creatively, this is her baby. Said odds I mentioned are much higher that she’s been dealing with trying to have them taken seriously and then feeling like she and all her work and efforts are being ignored by the promotion for a very long time now, and this was just the last straw for her.
I could be wrong, of course, i don’t have a window into her thought process at all, but something like this really has the feel of a worker just hitting their limit with their bosses. It happens.

Listen, the best way to have an egg is a soft scramble. you crack 3-4 eggs in a bowl, whisk 'em, add your salt and pepper, and.. this is important.. some heavy cream. cook them LOW. AND. SLOW. and keep stirring until they start making cottage cheese curd-looking lumps. Spread that on some toast and you have an amazing-ass breakfast. Shit. I might have to try this. Jamie Oliver demonstrated that the key to scrambled eggs is in the method. But eggs always benefit from a low and slow cook. What I am curious about is the over-easy fried egg over rice. Surely not plain rice, right? I mean, the egg might be the flavour driver with that one, but would it be enough on plain rice? Do you make up the rice sushi-style; like a fried rice, or how else might the combo work? |

I guess? Even though for all we know it was her idea in the first place? The "I'm Jobbing" face thing was more an acknowledgement of her tendencies towards having an attitude whenever she feels she's not being used properly rather than a citation of that as a reason. In regards to the idea of wrestling for the main titles being more meaningful, that may be true but Sasha has wanted the Women's Tag belts to mean something and so to basically be told by creative that they were going to fight for the main titles at the detriment of the Women's Tag Titles is still not the direction she wanted to go in. Finally I'm not sure where anybody implied that Naomi lacked free will or the ability to think for herself. The reason I'm theorizing that Sasha led the way on this comes down to her history and the fact that, again this wouldn't the the first time that she has very publicly and openly protested a booking decision she disagreed with. Yes that does mean that I think Naomi went along with something that was ultimately Sasha's idea, but that doesn't imply an inability to think for herself it just means that in the moment she agreed that what Sasha did was the best course of action. That does not in any way imply an inability to think for herself it just means she agreed with an idea somebody else had. Is it possible that this was all her idea? Yes it is. But given that she doesn't have a history of acting that way, it doesn't seem likely. In truth I sympathize with Naomi more than Sasha. |

I don't think Sasha and Naomi are being marks for themselves here. Remaining tag champs while getting high-profile title shots is better than defending the titles against a new, relatively thrown-together team in Doudrop and Nikki ASH. I think Sasha and Naomi are just taking pride in their work and what they're trying to achieve with the tag belts and they felt that work was being ignored and disrespected.
To keep things more on topic, WWE asked Sasha and Naomi to make waffles so they worked hard to make the best waffles they could. Then WWE passed over the waffles and chose soggy cereal instead.

Per Observer Radio, Naomi's contract expires soon and they were negotiating before this all went down.

Well I don’t think people think that this one incident caused the walkout because well very little in life happens on the spot. There is normally many things that happen knowingly or not prior to the “big” event. I think what some are saying is that this issue doesn’t seem like the big issue for it to come to a head like it has, it’s another more notable event but not the hill they’d die on. And I can fully understand why Sasha in particular feels very strongly and emotionally about the woman's tag team titles because as you say she was a big driver in getting them introduced as any of us who’ve had something that we had a big part in. That’s a natural human feeling. The thing is though that because the tag titles as whole and many others have been booked like dogshit recently, this one idea that had wasn’t going to bring the titles back to prominence like they wanted. |

Although realistically I can't see Naomi doing well anywhere else. Or any company offering her the same amount of money (or more than this current deal). |

I think Jimmy Uso should get a public transport commuter gimmick, coming down to the ring in a rail replacement double decker bus 5 mins after the match has started.

Even better, he wants to get his matches done as soon as possible because the Uber is waiting outside and he's being charged by the minute for how long they wait for him. Or if they're in a location with suitable transport, he wants to make sure he gets on before the crowds. |

I assume Jimmy just gets a new DD if Naomi walks, but I said it before and I'll say it again, if THIS is what causes the domino effect to get his ass released then honestly? That's some karma.
