    Do sharks complain about Monday? NO. They're up early, biting stuff, chasing sh*t, and being scary - reminding everyone they're a f*cking shark. Be a shark.

          I suspect biting people in the office will get you noticed, but entirely the wrong kind of attention.

              Many sharks are on the endangered specifies list because parts of them are considered a delicacy by a certain other species. If I recall correctly, the large majority of sharks populations have suffered significant declines. So permit me to take a wee bit of liberty to make a few small changes to your post: Do humans complain about Monday? NO. They're up early, biting stuff, chasing sh*t, and being scary - reminding every thing they're a f*cking human.

              History is the joke the living play on the dead.

                  Pigs liver is too strong, but if lambs is still too strong for you, soak it in milk for an hour before you cook it - that takes a lot of the flavour out and makes it a lot more "mellow". Here is one based on a Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall recipe: This is not a traditional liver and onions, with a gravy, but it really is good. Serve with mash potatoes and any vegetables you fancy - or none, it is quite filling.

                  400g Lambs liver Buy it sliced, or slice it yourself into 1cm thick slices.
                  2 - 3 tbsp olive oil
                  4 - 6 small onions
                  2 tbsp plain flour
                  ½ tsp ground black pepper Must be finely ground as it will be sifted.
                  100 ml balsamic vinegar
                  1 tbsp dried sage

                  Heat two tbsp olive oil in a heavy based pan over a low heat. Peel and cut the onions into quarters then add them to the pan. The heat must be pretty low, as you want the onions to soften in big chunks over about twenty minutes, and only begin to go golden at the end. If they brown too quickly then they will still be raw inside. Transfer to a warm dish and put in a warm oven. While they are cooking, mix the flour and pepper, then sift some through a small sieve onto a chopping board. place the liver on the flour and dust the top with more flour and pepper - you don’t want much on the liver, just a light coating. Add a little more oil to the pan and turn up the heat to medium. Add the liver to the pan and cook for about two minutes. turn them, and cook for another minute or so - do not cook to much as it will resemble shoe leather. Remove the liver from the pan and transfer to the dish with the onions. Add the dried sage to the pan, and fry so that it absorbs any oil - this will take less than a minute. Add the balsamic vinegar and turn the heat right up. Stirring in any crusty bits, boil the balsamic mixture until it reduces by at least half and foams. Serve hot, with the sauce poured over everything And this is how I cook "traditional" liver and onions:

                  450g/1lb lambs liver, sliced and fully thawed if frozen
                  25g/1oz butter
                  2 tbsp sunflower oil
                  4 tbsp plain flour
                  1 onion, halved lengthways and sliced
                  125g/4½oz rindless streaky bacon rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces
                  1 beef stock cube
                  500ml/18fl oz just-boiled water
                  1–2 tsp tomato ketchup
                  salt and freshly ground black pepper

                  Preparation method 1. Rinse the liver in a colander under cold water and drain well on kitchen paper. Melt half of the butter with the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high hea

                    Beef or preferrably calf is waaayyyyyy better. Step 1. Marry a Wog. Step 2. They good it really goodly. Step 3. You eat it, preferabbly on fresh bread rolls with lots of butter.
