This bloody weather

[JohnRedcoRn]

when confined to quarters, i find a good DVD with alcoholic beverages somewhat comforting.
Can i particularly recommend red wine (variety of your choice) with jelly babies (ASDA ones are better than bassets)

with jelly babies (ASDA ones are better than bassets)

Heresy, surely?

 

[Scoosh]

Emigration has never seemed so attractive

For whom ?

Name your choices .......

PaulB. from that quote i assume you obviously appreciate the wonderful half man half biscuit. Aside from some classic HMHB moments, i have to say i was a tad disappointed with the new album. although 'CSI : AMBLESIDE' has to be one of the funniest album titles ever. and 'took problem chimp to the ideal home show....well, just singing that very line in the vindictive / celebratory style is funny enough without having to pad it out with any more lyrics.
and back to the subject of the weather... when its pissing down hard and i'm also having a crap day at work and possibly being irritated by the mrs too, i think of the song 'national shite day', relating to the sentiment "i do believe its national shite day"
************JELLY BABIES - try the bassets and the asda ones in a test, i think you'll find the asda ones are better. ALDI ones fall somewhere inbetween ; not as good as the asda ones but hold their own against bassets.
foamy bananas are the king of sweets though ; cant seem to find them anymore, you can just buy 'foamy fruits' now, which is frankly not good enough since you have to put up with flavours like orange lemon and lime - frankly wrong in such a sweet. those pink shrimps are good too.

I like your style JohnR. I have recently proved to some friends in a blind test that Coop wine gums are better than Maynards. The world's gone barmy!

CO-OP CHICKEN CRISPS in the 80's were very nice. and their ketchup was easily as good as heinz back then.

how about a blind test of asda SMARTPRICE whisky against an expensive malt ? i like glenmorangie for special occasions like xmas. however, the smartprice does the job for everyday drinking. Either way you can get very quickly shitfaced and in the longer term perhaps brain damage, which is no bad thing, sometimes the less you can understand what the hells going on the better, and much more than half a working brain can be troublesome.. I've cut down to one litre a week since i took up cycling. I manage on wine from asda 3 for 10 for the rest of the week ; its the healthy choice. in fact, all those big fat juicy grapes in there, i must be getting at least my five a day.

Aldi do a very nice cheddar.

Yes, I quite appreciate the musical stylings of HMHB and have now seen them 14 times. They are playing Edinburgh next month and then Manchester Academy (where I also saw them 18 months ago) in January so I'll certainly be at those jigs (insh' allah).

You are certainly not alone in thinking CSI: was a tad disappointing especially given the almost three year wait but only a disappointment due to what had gone before. Achtung Bono and Cammel Laird Social Club were, in my opinion, the band's finest moments and any follow-up was probably doomed to unflattering comparison.

I can't hold with your comments about Jelly Babies though. In fact, a less tolerant society would make you pay with the very flesh from your ripped back for those views!

i spit in the face of jelly baby brand snobbery

Well in Bristol September is already the 4th wettest month of the last 12 months, only August, January and December were wetter then the first 9 days of September. I think I need a wet suit.

i moved to bristol at beginning of august.

the weather is really starting to get on my tits. i commute between 7 and 17 miles a day, depending on how wet i want to get.

right now, i could really do without getting drenched every morning, then changing back into wet clothes at the end of the day because they haven't dried out yet.

Yeah, and all the foreigners establish themselves in our place as we're the only stuipid country who houses them!

Not just us. The USA made themselves the world's wealthiest and fastest growing economy from 1850 to 1950 by following the same policy.

The bit we now get wrong is not allowing them to work.

I don't mind getting wet so long as my ultimate destination is home.
