View Full Version : Crisps
Random.......random........random :rolleyes:
What type of crisps do people like?
I am currently eating Wheat Crunchies - Worcester Sauce flavour and they are great. Wheat Crunchies are definitely the best :king:
Mc Coy's salt and vinger are the best crisps ever....and they are great for hangovers!!

Yes worcester source Wheat Crunchies are a fine crisp for sure.
My personal favourites are Seabrooks (a fine Northern crisp) especially prawn cocktail. I am also very partial to nice & spicey nik-naks.

I like Cheese and Onion, in fact I generally like food that makes your breathe smell e.g aniseed, liquorice, garlic etc

Seriously though, it's to stop spam. If you could post immediately, naughty people would just keep hitting "Post" and the threads would get filled with complete rubbish really quickly. (Not that this particular thread isn't already of course. And I like Worcestershire sauce crisps - note the spelling!)

Pringles are dangerously addictive - their slogan should be once you open a can you'll eat everything inside it, no matter what it might be. Generally I'm not a big crisps fan but McCoy's salt and vinegar are very nice, though I generally eat Walker's if anything.
For our overseas cousins we are talking about CHIPS.
"Tastey's Oragano Crinkled" for me.

I've tried to shut him up but nothing works :devil:
As previously stated somewhere I like liquorice and aniseed...........but that's not it I am also a massive fan of sweets in general and that would shut me up for a while hint hint.
Anyway I have been relatively quiet at training recently it might have something to do with the whole needing help to breathe properly thing though.
My quotes are very informative you can learn a lot about me this way.............just in case you wanted to know I have found a possible Uni course that I would like to look at 'Architecture and Languages' it would have been better if it was 'Architecture and Geography' or 'Architecture and Physics' but I'm guessing that's a little bit too demanding, also it would be better if the electronics side of the physics was removed..............infact particle physics is quite interesting actually.............hmmmmmmm but still can't find a course that combines it with architecture they must be quite different.
here's some more things about me GF:
29th of Jan is my birthday
I have a statistics exam on the 19th
I now have a Rover 214si, sitting outside in my drive
Also I enjoy taking part in as many extra curricular activities as possible
I have no social life
I like to colour
Also can anyone who uses these forums tell me if they are involved in DofE, preferably Gold level and where they are doing their expedition/residential because I need to choose where I want to go soon. Also how much does it cost, I was wanting to go to S.Africa for 3wks with Outward Bounds but that costs a lot.......2,500 I think.

Some crisp manufacture got the idea after watching "Not the 9 o'clock news" and the song "I like trucking", somebody else must remember!
The crisps obviously didn't contain hedgehog but it was a pretty good marketing ploy!
I think the thought police (EC) decided in its wisdom that it was against trade description and they were forced to withdraw the flavour.

You do realise that between us we're giving Masters a reputation with all this talk of alcohol and partying. I'm sure you understand that I will be sticking strictly to fruit juice while I'm away, my body is a temple and all that. Unless of course my team-mates force me to parttake of the devil's drink which they would never do, being the divine specimens of athletic Masters ability that they are. And we'll all be tucked up in our own beds with a mug of cocoa by 10pm. (Did you know, I passed A level Fibbing with distinction?) :angel:

GF, it has become apparent that for most of the female Masters on the site, a diet of crisps, ice cream and alcohol is a must. My question is does chocolate even get a look in and what about biscuits and cakes? I must admit that most of the aforementioned form the basis of my daily dietry requirements and that I wouldn't be seen dead near a salad!

I didn't mention chocolate because it's a staple food, the same as curry after a meet. Crisps and ice-cream are optional extras and the only reason alcohol came into the conversation is, well, because it always does. Jaffa cakes,now that's a good one too.

Oops, didn't read your post closely enough, GF. I seem to have reiterated your chocolate policy! I don't notice the alcohol,as it's usually administered intravenously. I only disconnect it for Masters Meets. ;)

Don't remember those (wasn't in this country probably), but am intrigued by red liquorice - can you still get it?
Yes you can still get it, but I prefer the thick sticks of the stuff,usually
called "firemans hoses".
The thin stuff "shoe laces" are OK but just leave you wondering what you've eaten.
We used to have licquorice wood too, oh and pontfract cakes!
