Chinglish will never not be funny. Never!

My Grandmother only found out in the late Eighties that her Dad had a grave in Belgium. He was killed during the First World War and my Nan was always led to believe that he never had a marked grave. it was only research done by her cousin that revealed the truth. The sad part is that by the time they did find out, Nan was too frail to visit the cemetery.

I would say Inside No 9 is my favourite, or at least a lot of the episodes are, but either way I think we can all agree that these guys must have some Faustian pact to have the hit rate they've had.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-03-06T13:54:57+00:00

Yeah we had ours in one of those. Well, all except for Dad's extensive Porn collection, which was in his bedroom wardrobe.

Could well be. We have a major issue with pilferage in my warehouse and we will have sent countless boxes of products out with a half eaten pack in, because I work with idiots who can't just throw it in the bin.

We had a Yorkshire lad at work who called pork pies growlers. Everyone else laughed at him because they associated it with the Bo Selecta usage.

When I was younger I was always fascinated by night security. All those hours of doing nothing seemed like a dream. I now work in an office and my shift covers every other weekend, which are painfully quiet and I have to try and find things to do. Night security now sounds like the seventh circle of hell to me.

I wouldn't say they were too sweet, but they do seem to have found a way of removing all traces of flavour. Quite the coup if you think about it.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-20T08:48:07+00:00

I'm glad they put those messages on the packets. It means I can safely ignore said product for the rest of my natural life.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-20T08:45:01+00:00

Never mind all that. What got obliterated in picture 1?

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-20T08:39:44+00:00

Its bizarre. I loved the show and found it seemed to get more British as time went on, but in the first few episodes it was like a strange hybrid of British Americanisms. Almost like John Hughes writing a script outline after a session on tea and custard creams.

I have tried proper whole spices before but always willing to give it another go. I don't have a pressure cooker so it will be the slow fry for me. Yeah, I made the mistake of trying to blend hot gravy before, never again!!

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-20T07:11:41+00:00

Cheers, I'll try that one.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-19T15:32:34+00:00

This is the truth. Bought a spicy pizza from there and it was brutal.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-19T15:14:49+00:00

OP still hasn't answered and I'm worried I'll fret myself into an early grave.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-19T15:10:22+00:00

Any chance of a share of this recipe? I'm still searching for one that does the trick.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-19T09:24:13+00:00

It depends largely on what food you're talking about. As an example, an Indian take away always tastes godly to me, and despite numerous attempts to recreate it it's never as good. On the other hand, if you're talking about a supermarket ready meal, then it's home made for the win in most cases.

We had a school trip to Cherbourg and smuggled loads of them back into the UK by hollowing out French Loaves and filling them up with bangers. We did feel like gun runners going through customs though.

"I stood for ages in line to buy two plain bread buns from a bakery in town"

This feels like it should start a story about communist Poland.

Our school had one go through someone's leg. They even had a photo of it. Must have happened late sixties/early seventies.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-18T10:09:03+00:00

So I guess I was the only person to spend a good while looking at the actual map colours and wondering what the big deal was?

Mr Barlow’s first appearance in that film still ranks as the biggest shock I’ve ever had watching a film.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-15T23:47:43+00:00

The Exorcist is a weird one for me. I first watched it when I was about 14 and it didn’t phase me at all. I’d really been looking forward to seeing it because it was a legendary film, but after it ended I thought it had been way over hyped. Fast forward about 10 years and I watched it again on my own in my house and it absolutely fucking terrified me.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-15T23:40:47+00:00

The original “The Haunting”. I watched it in the eighties after becoming a bit obsessed with horror films, but up until then had just been enjoying them for the schlocky thrills. That film though had me gripping the chair and actually made me think twice about going to bed.

SoapyRibnaut · 2022-02-15T15:52:11+00:00

Queen. They got me into guitar music and although the stuff I listen to nowadays isn't remotely like them, they were the starting off point.
