Thompson 1462@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Bravo, Mr Aglor, for your tour de force in posting that sinister illustration. It may seem trivial now, but I am forecasting Tesco as The Company Store, when Goldman Sachs has gathered to itself all the world's cash, debt, derived cash, etc., etc., and wages have disappeared altogether. Under IMF Rule, taxpayers will be born in arrears, and work the first 50 years of their lives to clear their debt, against which they will receive food, housing and clothing vouchers from The Company Store.</p> <p>The low standard of accuracy will guarantee a short life-expectancy, an economically-managed Private Health Sector, large profits for The Store, as helpless pions attempt to cash in their misprinted vouchers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1461 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:00:35 +0000 malgor 1461@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I agree with your reasoning, MrChigleysAunt. He may have been a crap poet, but his spelling of cake names is exceedingly good. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1460 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:52:48 +0000 MrChigleysAunt 1460@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think we have to go for Battenberg, for that is the spelling on the box. And, if anyone knows about cakes (and presumably their spellings), it is Mr Kipling. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1457 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:09:30 +0000 malgor 1457@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><img src="http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u313/malgor_bucket/Battenberg.jpg"></p> <p><strong>Spot the inconsistency.</strong> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1456 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:01:32 +0000 malgor 1456@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I don't understand why the society of international comparative linguists, so active elsewhere on this site, haven't been in on this thread to sort out whether Battenburg is the correct spelling. I always thought it was <strong>Battenberg</strong>. (Judging by the dotted red underlining, the built in edit box spell-checker here doesn't know either.) Battenburg, although obviously related to Battenberg, refers to the high-visibility chequered pattern used on emergency vehicles.</p> <p>Right, I'm off to write a piece about a cake on wheels... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1455 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 11:46:28 +0000 PluckyMunky 1455@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>we are all different, mr modo. i just don't happen to like salad or onions in hotdogs. i live lots (tho perhaps not at the moment, with the broken shoulder and all).</p> <p>hope mr sauce has a great birthday and enjoys miss sauce's carrot cake. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1428 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:17:45 +0000 sauce 1428@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>My 11 year-old made bread the other week and it only took around an hour, start to warm mouthfuls with loadsa butter. Apparently, she informed me, the fancy arsed "knocking back" and second proving is all a bit unnecessary: mix it, knead it, shape it, prove in a warm place (on top of the hot water tank in our house) for 30 mins then into the hot oven for 20-30 mins. Mmmm.</p> <p>Not as good as Battenburg. But cheaper and easy. (Though possibly not with a broken shoulder.)</p> <p>Purple sprouting is prohibitively expensive in the supermarkets. But very good value in the local green grocers'. </p> <p>Mr Sauce's birthday today. So 11 year-old has been commissioned to bake a carrot cake. That means I'm on logistics and washing up. Up early to do some work (erm?) before it all kicks off. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1420 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:31:38 +0000 Quaz 1420@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Of course you want onions on your hotdog (mmmmmm), why not? Live a little, you might be amazed. Go to the states (or my local NY style diner) and you can have chilli or melted cheese on it as well. Salad in sandwiches does seem to be the big divide in our society today. I demand it, but there are plenty of grown ups who react like a child confronted with a Brussels sprout when they see it. Odd.</p> <p>The price of Cauliflour these days is a scandal as well, so the forces that be are not just singling out battenburg. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1412 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:45:34 +0000 PluckyMunky 1412@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>onions in a hotdog? no, i don't think so! i like onions when they are mixed up with other things but if i forgot to say 'no onions, thanks' with a hot dog i would have to scrape them all out...but then i don't like salad, either and every sandwich maker seems to assume that a bit of salad will brighten things up.</p> <p>i am playing things conservatively with the shoulder as new x rays reveal three fractures. what a bumhole. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1400 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:51:51 +0000 MrChigleysAunt 1400@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's odd - I really do not like Battenberg. But Mrs MrChigleysAunt and the Chigley children love it. It's a funny old world though. I was asked today if I wanted onion on my hotdog (I was purchasing a hotdog). At my look of "wild surmise" the lady serving assured me that many people do not have onion. Until that moment, it had never occurred to me that the foundations of civilization were so shaky. You share the world with people, and you think you know them, but then something like this comes out of "left field" as I believe our American cousins have it.<br /> Sorry to hear that the shoulder is still painful. Have you tried some sort of compress? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1396 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:57:40 +0000 PluckyMunky 1396@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>no, there is nothing in battenberg that can stimulate serotonin or prevent its reuptake, as far as i know. anyway i am so much fluoxetine and amitryptaline that i am virtually swimming in it. shoulder is painful tho. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1385 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:30:43 +0000 brownpaperreporter 1385@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just the small twinge and whinge but fine and looking gleefully at 2 days without going to work. Does battenburg spark the release of serotonin I wonder? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1384 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:26:06 +0000 PluckyMunky 1384@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>yes, mr reporter, i think it is comfort food, really. anyway me and mrs munky have managed to polish it off. hope you are well and in good order. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1382 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:15:09 +0000 brownpaperreporter 1382@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>comfort food to ease the shoulder pain Mr Munky? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1365 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:28:49 +0000 malgor 1365@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Batten down the hatches, Mr Munky!</p> <p>I wonder if McDonalds do a McBattenburger... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=497#post-1363 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:27:18 +0000 PluckyMunky 1363@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>not having bought one for a few years, we paid £1.69 for one in Tesco's this morning. </p>
