SNOO V8 - In the bathroom smashing glasses

[BecomingJulie]

Throwing a toaster at somebody is certainly a better use for it than putting bread (especially the store-bought, Chorleywood-process stuff) in it. I do not own a toaster, simply because I cannot stand the taste of electric toast.

Panasonic bread, 20 mm. slices, toasted by gas and spread with actual butter = Queen of Toast.

Anything else is just a poor imitation.

(By the way, you can actually get "bread" nowadays which, so the packaging proudly proclaims, will keep for 7 days. Like, how's that supposed to be a good thing? It's got to be proper minging if even the mould won't touch it! Mine has lost sufficient moisture only to be fit for toasting after 48 hours, but doesn't generally ever reach that stage anyway, having been more likely to have been completely consumed before then.)

Really, it's usually quite benign in comparison to most ADs, I believe it's actually an antihistamine ( but I may stand to be corrected)

Made me feel a bit tripped out and didnt help my insomnia but I know many people find it very helpful, I guess it all depends on your individual body chemistry and your state of mind at the time.

On a more snoo note, just served Mrs A a bacon sandwich in bed and the kids gave her cards and stuff, sometimes we get lucky in life and I must have used most of mine up managing to find her

WTF is "Panasonic bread"???

Bread made by an electronic company?

Also noone has yet said what a snoo actually is!????

 

[Eveleivibe]

Correction, as discussed previously, i was withdrawing from citalopram at the time n had not long started Mirtazapine - but I always dropped the mirt as its known for weight gain.

Lol @ electric. Toast. Didn't i recently say that we were all turning into robots?! Hah :D

Bread from a Panasonic breadmaker. The best thing since sliced ..... um ..... never mind. Owned a few different ones over the years, but the Panasonic beats all the others by a country mile.

Also noone has yet said what a snoo actually is!????

You will know what snoo is, when you experience it .....

 

[BigG]

You know what's weird.... After I posted that I went to make myself some breakfast and I thought."I bet she means bread made with a Panasonic bread maker cos my mam used to have one of those".. And you've just said it.

Re the snoo I'm guessing that by the reluctance of anyone to answer than means noone else knows either but didn't want to come out and say it?

 

[Sadie]

74, Ask Kate or mibbe Sham.

I was told years ago what it meant but have long since forgotten.

Anyway, No snoo for me today. Today can suck ass.

Morning all Anyway, I'll take my grumpy arse away to work. See ya's all later.

The official definition is in the first post of the early incarnations of this thread but, roughly and from memory, "snoo" is defined as a relatively small yet pleasing thing - something which provides a warm, snooey glow. There's also often an implication of the snooful "thing" having come unexpectedly but I don't recall if this is essential - if it is that aspect has been eroded somewhat over time.

Not snoo: Winning the Lottery jackpot (too big a thing)
Snoo: Finding a scratchcard with a tenner on it in the street (nothing earthshattering but will put a lil smile on your face and a spring in your step for the day)
Not snoo: Getting married (planned and too big)
Snoo: Catching the eye of the pretty boy/girl at work and getting a smile in return (relatively small and unexpected)

Julie: I can't believe you're getting snooty about using an electric toaster whilst singing the praises of a breadmaker. Whenever I've had bread from a breadmakes it comes out as a crusty, doughy brick. Surely if snootiness about inferior toast is in play then you really should be going the handmade bread toasted on a fork over an open fire route, no?

(i totally agree on chorleywood bread though - horrible stuff)

This news story has become my snoo for today.

BA flight forced to land early because of smelly poo.

A British Airways flight was forced to turn around because of a "smelly poo".

The plane was heading from Heathrow to Dubai on Thursday - a seven-hour flight.

Abhishek Sachdev, who was on board tweeted: "Insane. Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet".

He told a newspaper: "The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd.

"About 10 minutes later he said 'You may have noticed there's a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets'.

"He said it was liquid faecal excrement. Those are the words he used."

The plane had been airborne for just 30 minutes when it turned round.

The next available flight was 15 hours later, so passengers had to be put up in a hotel overnight.

Speaking to Radio 1's Greg James, Sarah, who works for the airline said: "When you're up at that altitude the cabin has to be pressurised so the problem is that anything like that is actually a health and safety problem because only 50 percent of the air is being recycled and cleaned".

In a statement, BA says "A decision was taken to return for the safety and comfort of our customers on board.

"We're very sorry for the discomfort to our customers.

"We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the next day."

If I had processed that particular chocolate document, I think my laughter would have betrayed my guilt.

 

[Shambles]

Bwahahahahahhahahahahaha!!! Most definitely a proper snoo (as long as you weren't on the plane and had to smell it then get held for hours whilst y'all get checked for terrorism and other pecunias bugs and the like 8)).

As an aside, this must surely please all potential terrorists of any bent as they no longer have to actually blow shit up but just eat a heavy curry then take a shit in a public place. Gotta be better than the bang-bang option and chicks dig a quality meal so you may even get those virgins anyway (just use extra virgin olive oil when making your stink bomb din-dins and you'll be dandy).

Wow! Now that is isolation.

That's the funniest thing I've heard in ages and actually I must confess I was on that flight and twas me who deployed the rusty water semtex.

One has to get back at these godless infidels somehow

 

[koneko]

Wow! Now that is isolation.

Stunning landscape around it. Very remote. Nae leccy, log burning stove, nae bogs - you have to walk up a hill for that or dig a hole 8(

It's a very cool place, comfy inside and sooooo chilled. You spend your day feeding the fire and doing the basics and taking the air

My SNOO was my long weekend here - the Roundhouse %)

Would pay good money to stay somewhere like that Those 'pods' they have in various forests around the UK always appealed to me but researching them showed that they're usually grouped together like tents would be and I'm more into the whole 'miles from nowhere I can sit and read and not be distracted for a few days' kinda gig.

Snoo was having the always cheery weed guy come round and, uh, cheer me up. First conversation I've had all day that hasn't made my nerves set on fire. Also Barack, my pet Agama, has started eating and scuttling about again after a fair while of not doing that and no one knowing why. Little guy is all hissy and proud looking now

Good to hear the little man's tip top

That costs £40 a night and sleeps up to 5 (would have to be close pals or family). The logs cost though - summer time would be cheaper and there would be more light. Went through a pack 100 ikea tealights and more they supplied!.

 

[masaz]

Woah, that's a lot cheaper than I imagined especially as it sleeps five. That's a lot of damn tea lights too but I imagine summer would be bloody lovely and I do like candles anyway but am slightly cackhanded and burny at the best of times. I need to get away tho and summat like that'd be ideal, realised I quite liked having no internet when we went to Wales over Christmas and wouldn't mind. Was it hard to get to?

Google says from where you are to near to the nuts of it around (add the odd 10-15 miles cause you'll get lost and it disnae like GPS, nae signal etc)

• 251 miles
• 4 hours 30 mins

It's in Dumfries & Galloway.

And that's with no pee stops. You need to carry a lot of kit in, think of it semi camping / glamping kinda thing. But boy worth it %) I'll PM you the link, when I can face my inbox which is currently scaring me. Hey why aren't we on FB - all info on there....

ps - nae drug chat on FB

 

[felix]

I know this may seem a ridiculous question but I have to ask...while I understand what a "snoo" means ....but what does snoo actually stand for?

The longer I go on without asking this the stupider I'll look so I just had to ask

This took a bit of finding and some manual attaching of synapses, but here we go, noobs:

The concept of Snoo was something popularised/invented by the former EADD regular andythetwig & his friends many years ago.

The Snoo Manifesto

The first question that needs to be answered, what is Snoo? I bet you are all dying to know! Well here is a brief explanation according to me:

Have you ever been late for work, got to the bus stop annoyed that you have missed it only to have the bus arrive? Have you ever been sitting in the pub with no money dying for a pint or a pack of cigarettes, then shoved your hand in your pocket and found £20 you’d forgotten about? Have you ever been sitting at home bored out of your skull because all your mates are at work and an old friend who you haven’t seen in ages pops round? This is Snoo!

It is about those cool little things that make life more bearable. ‘It’s about finding Joy in the small things’ and that’s what this site is about.

This site exists to make people laugh, sometimes at the expense of others but only in fun. Hopefully by the time the site is up and running properly there will be a lot of things to make life a little more bearable. We aim to have some fun downloads including, mp3 files, news and gossip from St Albans, a guest book, links and Bio’s of all the most in/famous people in St A!

For now if you have any moments of Snoo in your life that you’d like to share (Just say if you want it to be anonymous) send ‘em to me at [email protected] and we’ll put them up on the site.

The original Snoo thread was inadvertently lost during a purge years ago. If anyone can find it on the wayback machine (archive.org), I'm sure we can somehow reinstate it to its rightful place.

Finding that site above was one of my snoos for the day. Enjoy. %)

p.s. If that site's contact details are still active, I'm sure they'd be snoo-ed by the fact that we've kept it going all these years. Why don't one of you try to get in touch and lead them back here?

Edit: Tried; message undeliverable. Sent a PM to andythetwig instead.
