I would really love to see some pics of these "packets" you refer to.Originally Posted by Emil Miller
"...packet of cheese and onion crisps" sounds like a glorified way of describing "Funyuns", but I seriously doubt your sophistacted buds would tolerate them.
You and Neely inspired me to pick up a bottle of St. Bernardus Prior 8 and a bottle of Maredsous last weekend. (I inspired myself to throw in a bottle of Stoli Vodka as well)
I am currently nursing the Maredsous.

There's some good beer floating around. I am currently very fond of Badger's Golden Champion and had three bottles last night. Today I am off with the evil one for a spot of lunch somewhere...I'm taking my book with me.
Here are a few of the potato chips and nuts that accompany drinks in the UK.

Organic oatmeal (Apple and Cinnamon). Mmmmm.

I had spaghetti earlier and am now drinking Chianti Colli Senesi 2009 with Waitrose mixed nuts and raisins.

I've not had spaghetti for ages; tomorrow I'm going to have spaghetti!
I have been pretty much hungover and off task today, but I've decided to opt for another bottle of that Riverview red, but it doesn't seem as good as when I had it first last week. I am not looking forward to next week - all work and little play>
If you decide on spaghetti, ensure that you have an Italian red to go with it. Not necessarily Chianti but maybe Valpolicella or a Sicilian red.I've not had spaghetti for ages; tomorrow I'm going to have spaghetti!

I agree that the dreaded Monday is totally crushing from my recollection of it but I doubt that you feel the horror of it that I used to experience before I said goodbye to all that.

I am familiar with the Planters, but not the Walkers and the Real McCoys (other than the American TV show).
Thanks for the product images.
That's an interesting combination!

Starting off the morning with more of the fresh ground Jamaican coffee I mentioned in the past.

Those Planters look tidy!

Having had a few days off of alcohol I'm about to crack open an Organic Westons - I'm mini-celebrating my best ever essay score! I'm also treating myself to Manhattan for the fourth or fifth time, what a film. Oh, before that I've got a mini bottle of Black Tower (sorry Emil, it was that or nothing...)
Edit: should have been nothing.

Well, whatever turns you on but, setting Woody Allen aside, there can be little excuse for Black Tower even in a mini bottle. Yesterday, I had the medicos tut tutting about my alchohol intake, so maybe I also will be reduced to drinking Black Tower in due course.

You are correct (but not about the Woody Allen - did I tell you my brother bought be a Woody Allen T-shirt for my birthday?). It all happened in slow motion. There I was buying my Organic Weston in the shop on West Street just having come back from class and, with a queue behind, my eye caught a mini bottle of white, Black Tower - the only mini (and I only had limited cash before I could get to the cash machine as Mrs Neely took it off me earlier) so I made the purchase in haste - a mistake I deeply regret.However, the Westons is good and the film outstanding!
Oh, the medicos. I once was asked by my doctor (I rarely go to doctors) how many units I had a week. Well, I couldn't remember the units so I just plucked "36" out of thin air to please her but she wasn't impressed with that at all? Still haven't a clue about the numbers and I intend it to stay that way.
