Impulse Buying
So there I was, bombing off to one of the local Supermarkets to replace a packet of Banoffee Popcorn I'd scoffed...
...and in a classic case of Sod's Law, what's the last thing you find? The very thing you were looking for. Just like, when you're in a hurry or trying not to be late, everyone else goes that little bit slower...
Anyway... Impulse Buying. Instead of just one packet of Banoffee Popcorn I came back with...
Half a packet of chocolate toffee popcorn has been consumed during the writing of this and the orange juice will cure my guilt.
Currently having a "Hard On for Jesus" from the Dandy Warhol's excellent 1998 "Come Down"

Anyway... Impulse Buying. Instead of just one packet of Banoffee Popcorn I came back with...
- 2 litres of Pure Orange Juice with bits - I felt robbed last time I accidentally picked up the "smooth" juice - no fun in it.
- 2 packets of Chocolate Toffee Popcorn
- Bag of Liquorice Alsorts
- A bottle of Bardolino to go with
- A Margherita Pizza to be topped with
- A packet of Milano Salami and
- A jar of hot chillis but not
- A tin of Baked Beans which can go on
- A Seeded Batch when it's toasted of course.
- 4 nearly-out-of-date Deli Bakes
- A bottle of HP sauce
- An inedible copy of MBR and
- A packet of Oreos - yes Rebekah they sell the chocolote ones over here :D

Oh btw, got a peak of spring today, well, if you consider 36 degrees and some sunshine a peak.
Sure felt nice.

I don't know what half of that food even *is*.
But if you said it with a nice British accent, I'm sure I could be convinced that it was tasty. (I wish the internet did accents.)

Way to make me hungry. Time for a midnight snack, methinks. Peanut butter and Nutella, anyone?

Rebekah: Hah, thought you'd like that :D You ever get to see the Dandy Warhols - I bet they're ace live.
RahX: LOL, Bufffalo Wings & milk, wicked. And 36 degrees is a start, man. Oh, and we got Sunsheeeine here YEHAH :D
BeckyBumblefuck: LOL, no worries, you just let me know what you don't know and I'll sort it.
Haha, British accents are wild and varied from the Highland Scots, through the lowland to Geordies, Brummies, West Country, the Welsh (if they, like the Scots, don't mind being called British) to London and the South East. And yet everywhere the better education systems will keep Queen's English in vogue, don't ya know :D
Consider all these posts as Southern English with a hint of Essex ;)
Shiitake Sensei: Hey Shina :D I dig everything. It's an old hippy slang term for
1) To understand fully: You dig? You dig what I'm saying, buster?2) To like, enjoy, or appreciate: Dig the Bloc Party, dude3) To take notice of: Dig that car, manOK, OK, I do not dig most politicians - they lie. And I don't dig the greedy or those that don't dig the environmnet, though that last one sounds kinda weird don't you think?
[-o-]: Hey, tie fighting dude, long time no see :D Nutella, yeah we get that too... peanut butter... that smooth or crunchy? never been much of a fan of P-nut butter... but I know it's lure, much like Marmite, or Vegemite as our antipodean friends call it ;)

Smooth peanut butter, unfortunately. I prefer the crunchy variety, but smooth still does the job.
And yes, Vegemite is Godly. And by Godly I mean salty. Really, really salty.

OJ with bits is like, pulp to us west of the pond. I think.
I dig it.

Ah yes of course Lever, you're all...southern and stuff. So I s'pose it's grarss and barth (using 'r's to show the way its said btw I CAN spell) as opposed to my B-a-th and Gr-a-ss
this is way hard to put in a post :)

I read 2 posts of your blog now Lever...
One saying you wanted to get fit; cycling around hills and all that. Then one with the healthiest shopping list Ronald McDonald has ever seen.
So... What's it gonna be?

[-o-]: Smoooooth :D Vegemite, got lots of other nutritional values too like lots of vitamin er... B? Is that right?
RahX: That sounds about right - OJ with bits = pulp. Better than the concentrate stuff - a bit more expensive but worth it for the lack of process it's gone through - gotta be good for ya ;)
Seffy: b-AR-th it is. And gr-AR-ss too. But I do have a tendancy to say b-A-stard in a northern accent - I don't know why... it just sounds better :D
You're right, that was a bit mad wasn't it? LOL
T0PS30: Hey dude, welcome aboard :D
I gotta get some energy to fuel my physical habit :D I mean the amount of energy to be burnt up in a cycle ride is pretty mad - especially with gales blowing. The lads did 4mph into the wind the other week and 12mph with it...
Fact of the week: Did you know that you can waste up to 15% of your energy when cycling due to wearing soft-soled trainers and not hard-soled cycling shoes?

Ace. that is a wonderful adjective. i'm going to adopt it.
i have never seen them live, but my band buddy stephen has. he said they had no openers and they played for two and a half hours and it was, well, ace.
i had to go and see mariah carey the night they (DW) were here (for work) and you know what? she was booty.
andthat'snotagoodthingtobe.
feckin' mariah carey. ick ick blah...

Vicious Summer: LOL I wish. No seriously, I think it's just an ingrained stoner mentality... Mind you that's a good point... Munchies = Impulse Buying is so true :)
Rebekah: Ace. Haha. And stamina too. But absolutely no substitute for...
Mariah Carey, allinthesamewordneighbourhoodtoo.
Not good.
Is it true that when she hits the high notes all the dogs come running?
Booty? - booty is in the same lyrical crapbag as bling. Bling. Bling Bling. Bling Bling. "Hello? Oh, the shit-word Police? Sorry, I'll stop using bling and booty and be sure to promote ace and arse."

My last shopping expediton was before I got on the plane to come home last week. I dived into Walmart and got
A Bag of "Hot Tamales"
A bag of Cinnemon hard candy (can't remember the name,If I don't return with a supply of cinnemon sweets my lab tech will sulk until my next visit)
and a bag of "Laffy Taffy" keeps the rest of the troops "happy" back at the mill.

Brom-man: American candy has such an appeal does it not, Brom-man? I always remember the halloween treats, the hershys, peanut butter cups...
But "Laffy Taffy"... that's a new one... are they like Leek flavour bon bons?
