I don't really get that last amendment. Haven't the EU said they'll say no unless we make a serious proposal? Telling the govt just to ask again gives them a way to no deal, if so.

Skips and Quavers are great for people with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) because they melt in the mouth.
Probably not great if you're hungry, though. gently caress waiting for a whole pack to dissolve, one at a time.

Individual packs are 25p now, but yeah cheap crisps are definitely the best.

Maybe, just before the referendum, there was a rumour that the EU was going to rename the Great British Crisp as a "high-fat hydrogenated vegetable disk" and that's what caused Leave to win?

Also, the best tasting crisps I ever remember eating were from the early 90s. They were a part of that Phileas Fogg brand, and they were called California Sun Chips. They were magical, but my parents would never let me have them.

Looking at that Crisp Pyramid, I'm struck by how Irish shops sell all of those brands...Plus a load of objectively better crisps like O'Donnell's, Keogh's, King, Tayto, Rancheros, Ripples and of course Hunky Dorey's.

But I'm not surprised that we mastered the potatoes based snack.

Just remember the great Monster Munch, when the big bastard british brand came in and bought (or beat in a trademark war) the rights to our own beloved spicy Monster Munch. They then became the Mighty Munch and the invader Monster Munch disappeared off, within sharp order, to the giant importing pound shop shelves when its inferior taste and mouthfeel could not conquer the better crisp market.

Mr Tayto can stand strong and proud over that one.

Crisps were basically invented in Ireland. The modern flavoured crisp was created by Tayto in the 50s and the process was bought by UK/US companies. Prior to that it was just slices of fried potato with maybe some salt if you were feeling fancy.

They will allow a long extension - at least nine months, probably 21, and rumour has it as long as four years. However, we must elect MEPs for that period and in general behave as a full member is expected to.

Then you've got the creamy cheese and onion to tame what's happening to your tastebuds and prawn cocktail to offset the direct sharpness of the salt and vinegar with it's own fulsome twang.

Congrats! I'm still putting out my early spuds as well as my main croppers- I took some pics for my thread and will chuck em up here when I get a chance. Plenty of stuff like radishes have really short grow times if you want rapid results, spuds range from about 70 days to 120

Phileas Fogg did some mini garlic bread things that were somehow the most garlicy thing on earth and I loved them but being a poor rarely had them and now they don't exist

Just like lea and perrins used to have a garlic sauce and that went away too, like all good things :smith:

hey guys please don't claim to speak for the labour party and say they want good things for me, my experience with Aberdeen Labour is that they're all corrupt bastards

I don't think the discussion needs to take in policy and campaign goals of Yes Scotland. I was addressing the guff you keep spewing about Scottish nationalism being lovely and an entirely good thing unlike all those other nationalisms, as if nobody else here has any experience of the phenomenon. In my experience it very often wasn't nice at all. Also you should really try addressing people you disagree with on here without the endless sarcasm because it makes you come across like a petulant baby.

The Celebratory March 29th Brexit coin hasn't been minted yet. Which is good given that's not the date anymore, but I'm betting it wasn't funded despite being announced in the budget.

you've consistently been a massive rear end in a top hat to me since i joined the forums, initially for no other reason than me having the audacity to emigrate to scotland and have positive opinions about scottish independence. your interactions with me have been nothing but snide, down-putting, thinly veiled racist comments. if you ever disagreed with me, rather than engaging and trying to explain your part, you resorted instead to calling me a bourgie swiss idiot or some variation thereof. so i honestly don't give a flying gently caress, i think you're a massive rear end in a top hat and i'm not surprised that other people you've deigned to interact with, people you predetermined were "fanatics", thought so too.
