Damn Cheap Pastry!

A warning to all consumers - do NOT, under any circumstances, purchase Coles' Home Brand Puff Pastry if you are cooking a pastry-oriented dish.
It. Is. Crap!!
I spent most of today preparing some brilliant fillings - a curry beef that had been on the stove for three hours to ensure maximum tenderness, and a chilli bolognese mince. However, when it came time to actually making the pies...THE BLOODY PASTRY DID NOT COOK OR RISE!!!
GodDAMN I was pissed off! I had a good mind to take what remained of Coles' Puff Pastry, and tell them where they could shove it!
There will be no cheap options in future when it comes to purchasing puff pastry!

My last shift at work tonight for about three weeks. I do feel as though I need a break. Working for six months straight, serving and dealing with the public, is a bloody hard slog. I did 15 months straight once, but I needed shock therapy to get over it.
Of course, it won't be a "real" holiday, but I'll try and use the time as wisely as possible.

My album list at work lately has certainly been a mixture. MP3 players are a godsend - convert albums to MP3, fit 8-10 albums on a disc, take it to work, hit random, and there goes the next nine and a half hours!
For the past month, the albums on cycle have been :

900lb Steam
- ANIMAL
Appetite For Destruction - GUNS 'N' ROSES
Dehumanizer - BLACK SABBATH
Garage Days Re-revisited - METALLICA
Killing The Dragon - DIO
Masterplan - MASTERPLAN
No World Order - GAMMA RAY
Resurrection - HALFORD
The Chemical Wedding - BRUCE DICKINSON
To Hell With The Devil - STRYPER

And I'm not sick of them yet, which means a) a new world record, and b) all these albums ROCK!!!
