Tates, I said! And good luck with that proviso. :haha:

Points made, PERHAPS, and time to move on, I believe.

Amen.

lol no worries fella, my mistake :up:
marris pipers, or king edwards then? Good for roasties or a stew.
:arrgh!: you got me thinking now...
Bah! perhaps 02:05 on monday morning is the wrong time for thinking about cooking a roast dinner.

Yes, you don't want to wake up at 5:45 to the sound of the smoke alarm, and the whole house covered in ash. Have some chips instead, or what are they over there... crisps?

Hah! been there done that - lesson learned, leave drinking the wine until the food is ready. Those little smoky carbon things in the bottom of the oven looked so forlorn, once the billowing fumes had cleared at any rate.
yer 'chips' is where it's at. I think I've got some of those potato wedge oven chips in the freezer.
potato chips is what you guys call crisps, right? Like er.. dorritos (nachos) but potato instead of flavoured corn snacks?

Chips are made of corn or potato, thinly sliced (in the case of potatos) that we cram into our faces, unless you're in Vegas in which case the chips are an inedible, nutrition-less currency. Nachos, on the other hand, are not nachos without refried beans, jalapenos, diced tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and sliced black olives... although one can save themselves the trouble by visiting a convenience store and drizzling orangey-yellow processed cheese sauce over a pile of corn chips. Bon apetite! :DL

Chips are french fries in your neck of the woods, aren't they? :06:

hhmm nachos...

from a police beating, to stereotypes...to nachos?

sounds like a YouTube flame war I've seen far too often.

Like, watching a video about yuri gagarin and scrolling down to read the latest hypothesis on 9/11 :nope:

needless to say though, I like nachos. :D
OH! and 99cent chicken burritos from Taco Bell

mmm processed cheese sauce drizzle...

Yer, french fries are 'chips' over here, but with one slight difference: Chips are generally thick sliced, manly sized fried potato slices, whereas french fries is what you get with a MacyDee, being thin sliced and covered in loads of salt. Both of which would go down a treat right now hehe.

:woot:

So then "Fish and Chips" would be "Fish and Tater Wedges" here. Hrm... sounds kinda good right now, actually. :DL

Just out of curiosity, how much is a liter of fuel going for over there these days? I got into a discussion about this on a different forum back in '03 after the Leeroy Jenkins Affair started. Leeroy Jenkins... rofl. That still cracks me up. :rotfl2:

Anyway, at the time I estimated that a gallon of fuel over there would cost approx. 12-15 dollars US, and then wondered why I was whining about the $2 or so that it cost me.

http://www.petrolprices.com/

I'm not sure what the difference between a US gallon and an imperial gallon is, but the last time I filled up (a couple of weeks back - I shopped around to find the cheapest filling station as prices can vary as much as 2 ppl depending on the outlet) it was 115.9 pence per litre. I put 60 quids worth of diesel into the tank and got just over 51 litres, or thereabouts. The .9 decimal figure confuses the issue.
I've not filled the tank full to the brim (89 litres) for more than a year now.
They say the price of a barrel of oil has gone down, but our fuel prices only go up... the excuse this time is that sterling is not worth much right now.
We've just had the annual budget here, when they were due to increase the duty (tax to the government) on all fuel by 3 pence per litre.

:down: booo-hiss

mmmmm Beer battered Germans.:har:

This was too good not to share.

So im sitting here at the computer looking through my business ledger double checking to make sure all the fuel and maintenance invoices have been entered, which got me to thinking... Did any bills come in yesterday?

as i had not checked the mail, I asked my wife if she had.

She slaps down in front of me 2 envelopes addressed to my business and a black shrink wrapped magazine.

this can only mean one thing.

I toss the bills into the in box and rip open the plastic, revealing the pleasant odor of a freshly opened May 2010 Playboy.

So, first things first: Playboy's party Jokes

A few zingers... like "Two rednecks were fishing together, one asked the other 'If i sleep with your wife would that make us relatives?' the other replied 'nope... it'd make us even though."

ok... second things second: Cartoons

A couple of neat ones.

Third things third! find an article that appeals to me:

So what do my eyes behold?

"Area Two" by Hillel Levin and John Conroy

Area Two reports the story of Police Lieutenant Jon Burge who was responsible for numerous unspeakable torture incedents in the late seventies and early eighties.

where did all of this take place?

The Area Two in the title refers to a 60 square mile area of Southern Chicago, Illinois where Lieutenant Job Burge held command.

I guess i have another reason never to go to Chicago if i can avoid it. :DL

cause surely all the cops there torture people.







right? :06:

Was that the braille version or the regular one?:hmmm:

regular lol
