Random MSN Gibberings LXIX: Open your mouth, here's your money

thank you watsons. you've actually made me glad i had an eating disorder for most of my undergrad.

though in the time i didn't i ate enough fried bread never to want to touch it again. ugh.
 
I honestly can't remember eating much at all as a student really. Though what I did eat was usually on the park bench I occupied when I should have been in lectures, so it would've been washed down with a lovely drink such as Ice Dragon or Barnstormer.

I must admit to a recent fascination with tinned potatoes, most of that fascination being rooted in 'why'?

On the couple of occasions I've actually given into the urge to buy them they've been pretty damn nasty but compelling. Just like Fisherman's Friends, you might say.
 
When I was a student I would just spend £1 on one of those gigantic bags of pasta from tesco (don't think they sell them anymore they were massive and lasted about 6 months of daily pasta eating) and a 19p tin of pasta sauce and eat it every day.
 
Re. Tinned potatoes... I'm always left with the overriding impression that something very bad happened to those poor spuds betwixt field and tin :(

I briefly decided that it would be a wise decision to live solely on smash and gravy. I lasted about a week.

There was a 1970s folk duo called Smash & Gravy wasn't there? There should have been.

As for the potatoes, wonder no longer...
 
day has well and truly been ruined now regardless.
chips ready .. check
pillows plumped ... check
tv episode queue in vlc player .. check
comfy? ... check [think birthing position, quilt/pillows/chips on one side, cat purring on the other]
cup of tea ... check

morning poop suddenly wanting to do its thing?

NOOOOOO not now ... please not now

That sounds like a joke Jimmy Carr would tell to people in the north of England.

That made me actualy lol. Tinned potatoes are vile. Because they're just to freaking hard to cook in the first place.

You all make me thank god that I could cook when I went to university. My housemate in halls did get sick of cous cous though.

I didn't realise how easy cous cous was until about a year ago... i'd been making all sorts of weird and wonderful things since I got to uni but had always thought cous cous was a waste of time. Then it turns out you just put chicken stock mixed with whatever else over it and cover it with a cloth and wait 5 minutes.
 
Off to catch my Eurostar to Brussels, then shall be in Amsterdam from Saturday until next week.

Have a super duper weekend BL. x
 
I didn't go to Uni.

My Dad loves tinned new potatoes, but he grew up after the War and still sees them as a luxury item.

Breakin Bad wasn't all over the telly two-three years ago if you lived in a hollow on the edge of a small village by Dartmoor, only just been able to get Channel5, not that my life improved any with Channel5. BT VIsion on the other hand, we got everything. It's like the future!

Marmalade that post about the chips is brilliant! You are either a student or you were one at some point. Eating last nights chips with tomato puree is definately student creature behavior ;)

I'm nawt eating last night's chips tho. I was having the 2nd half of a frozen bag of mccains, freshly heated, this morning ... it's important that we clear that up. and, it's equally important that I point out, that using puree with chips could really be considered to be fucking posh in certain circles, since most foodies totally frown upon the use of bottled tomato ketchup with food at all =D

judgemental bastards, the lot of you ;p

and I was a student once, like 15 years ago, so no Brimz, youre not the only one

It's called 'tramp behaviour' around here.

Then again so is drinking Spesh, but I never said I wasn't a total hypocrite.

Beer. it's something I never ever ever EVER drink the shitty stuff of. I dont see the point. once you like decent beer, you never go back. cider yes, beer no.
my cider quality threshold is Merrydown, or higher, of which I still love the taste after, whut 20+ years of drinking it. but I normally only drink strong cider because the other stuff doesn't get me drunk. thatchers or westons, I dont mind, it's fairly cheap @ 7%

I only generally touch strong beer too, & my taste is exceptional.

Old Tom is my fave. it's fucking GLORIOUS, and nectar of the gods

followed by Brakspear Triple.

But if I just want to have a drink in my hand, [and that's pretty much most nights tbh], I stick to cider [as above], or wine - a cheap bottle of red CabS or Merlot normally does the trick

I can't tell if youre trying to insult my little tale of woe, my humour, or if youre trying to insinuate I sound southern. but if it's the latter, I'm fucking devastated ;p ... have one of these anyway ---> <3
 
Old Tom? Lovely Sockport brew.

One of the few good things about that benighted, Whit-walking, viaduct-shagging hick town down the road from God's Own City in fact.
 
wow, that's epically poor

sack the proof reader.

[edit] was that like, Chechnya outside the area, or just a nearby town?
