Y'see?

re. previous posts - THIS is what spews forth when one has what is commonly called a "hangover".

Death, Biscuits and Baccy

Is there anything else worth thinking about?

Vic and Bob - Mulligan and O'Hare



Still has me in hysterics.

King of Comedy - Pupkin Chats with Liza & Jerry



I'm very tempted to say this is my favourite movie clip. Just, you know, says a lot about the ...oh I can't be bothered.
The final line from the scene is clipped - it's a shame as it's the best "Good luck in Rio".

Kind of a metaphor for life. Good luck in Rio. As if.

Scots wurd o' the nicht - "buck"

Does anyone ever use this word? The only place I've encountered it is in Midlothian. It was used as a substitute for the eff word.

Buck off. Not buckin' likely. I'm buckin' freezin'. And so forth.

Buckin' broncos never came into it. Unfortunately.

Processed meat of the week

Chopped pork, from the local butcher's, via Spar.

I know, I know.

It's packed full of salt, chemicals, preservatives, and saturated fat. That's why it tastes brilliant.

On a sandwich with a bit of tomato as sop to the bowels. Sprinkling of pepper. Eh??

Oooh I think I've a wee touch of indigestion...pain under the ribcage, centre of chest, radiating up into the jaw and down the left A-A-A-A-R-R-R-MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Biscuit of the week - the Coco-nut Ring


I'm repeating myself again. I knew I shouldn't have eaten that second slice of black pudding this morning.
No. I have featured the Co-operative Coco-nut Ring as biscuit of the week before.
I'm sorry to be doing it again, really I am, but I have a very limited biscuit range. I only really eat Toffee Dodgers, jam sandwich creams (Fox's, preferably) and these. And that's probably quite enough. I'm not really interested in further biscuit exploration. I don't care for a chocolate biscuit as a rule, but if I do I would probably opt for a KitKat. Although I quite like those really chunky chocolate chip cookies. I dislike the word "cookie".
Anyway - the coconut ring is a plain biscuit, light and shortbready in texture with a very good coconut flavour - so good that it might well be artificial but I can't be bothered checking the list of ingredients to find out. There are loads in the packet and they're only 87p so a pretty good buy I reckon.
Highly recommended.
