Slumming it snackage

reminds me of saddam hussein's information minister. he was absolutely hilarious. even though the facts were staring him in the face he came up with a bonkers alternative story which he believed in with such conviction it became impossible for him to back down. delivered with such comic intensity too. what was his name?

what was his name?

Tariq Aziz (I think).

There was a joke going around during the 1st gulf war...

When does Saddam Hussein have his breakfast?
When Tariq Aziz.

Digestive sandwiches...2 biccies liberally buttered and stuck together. Great with a cuppa. If you dip it in the tea, you also get an oily film on the surface of the tea.

OH ! i love rich tea biscuits buttered (has to be butter,no marg!!!)

Tariq Aziz was his foreign minister I think - all sombre and suited. The information minister was this lunatic in army fatigues who ranted and raved at the TV cameras.

Mohammed Sa'eed al-Sahaf was the nutter who came out with stuff like "There are no Americans in Baghdad, there never will be" while in the background you can see the tanks. Top quality television

That's the fella. Some of those quotes are fantastic. My favourite is:

"We have destroyed 2 tanks, fighter planes, 2 helicopters and their shovels - We have driven them back."

There was a a time when bread and butter was served with just about every meal. Sliced white, that is, not ciabatta.

They can be - if you get Tesco economy packs of 36. Mind you, there ain't much fish in them...

Got some nice Birds Eye ones on offer then other day, 99p for 10, that was quite good, and they are real fish.
