WTF ?!!!

Are they our new sponsors?

I had some Jersey new potatoes at the weekend-Nice but not as good as Cheshires

A quick google scan delivers this from the letters page of the Telegraph

Is there a prize?

Ooh, don't think I've had Cheshires.

My point is every year I look forward to summer, my rugby league and Jersey Royals. Unfortunately, Jersey Royals do not taste like they used to and are as disappointing as our RL team. What's going on?

Cadburys Dairy Milk doesn't taste the same either...

Bugger me.....I was right



next you'll be saying that Cadbury Cream eggs are getting smaller

They are!



Anyway, i'd much rather discuss the virtues (or lack of) of the humble potato rather than the misery of our rugby league team.

Sorry...feel free to lock this...I'm relieved to get it off my chest. Nurse, where's me medication?............

Only good spud is mashed or chipped so discounts the small jersey potato.

Not baked? or roasted? or sauteed? Come on man, where's your sense of culinary adventure?

DSWG, I agree with you on the quality/taste of Jersey Royals, they were poor last year too. Get yerself down to M & S, try their Cornwall new potatoes, fantastic flavour. Or for a slightly different taste, try Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" Anya potatoes (I didn't get to 18st 11LB for nowt, but now 17st 3LB and counting

)

baked/Roasted/Saute you blaspheme Sir

.

Once upon a time there was a King Edward spud who had three daughters. They all went off to find a prospective husband. The first daughter comes back and says "dad, Ive found someone, he's another King Edward:. "Excellent, says the old man, I love royalty like us, well done, go marry him. The second one comes in and says "Dad, I've found someone, he's a jersey Royal" "Royal? Says the old man. "Excellent, I love keeping royalty in the family, well done, you have my blessing." The third daughter walks in and says "father, I've found someone, his name's John Motson" "John Motson?" says the old man " you cant' marry him, hes a commentator!"


Sorry, it is an off topic thread.

It's no problem! one of our moderators did explain as long as OT is used in the thread title it is fine!

Love it Boosty!



Jaybs- just as well we can discuss something other than the rugby. After all, no bugga is listening.

Blazing - I will certainly try the M & S Cornwall's. Well done on losing the weight (at the moment, what with the depressing rugby and summer means I only want to eat and drink)

Mind you, that's not anything new...

Good luck on getting anything out of Cornwall today, it's like the middle of winter with lashing gales and driving wind.

Cucumber: Is it my sense of smell going over the years or do they always smell " dirty" when got from a Supermarket, yet smell fresh when from a Grocers?

How come Wagon Wheel biscuits are about a third of their original size?

How come they don`t make `Potato Puff` crisps any more?

Why doesn`t anyone stock chocolate `Garibaldi` biscuits anymore?

These questions need to be answered......we have a right to know!!!!!!!

This thread is really about Rob Powell right?

They are not, it's just that you suffer with this affliction.

I used to love Potato Puffs...they were seriously yummy (especially the BBQ flavour). You only got Potato Puffs from bakers not supermarkets I believe.

Chocolate Garibaldis were gorgeous ...as were Choc-au-lait biscuits. (they were the rippley chocolate ones).

What happened to Oxo Crisps? They were yummy (much better than Marmite or Bovril flavour).

Not noticed about the cucumbers...all I know is they don't taste of anything anymore nor do tomatoes. You've got to go to Greece to get any decent salad. in my humble opinion.

Gee this is fun.

PS Powell out!

Ah, that would explain why another part of my anatomy is not looking to chipper these days

Right or wrong ?

Cheese and Onion Crisps - check.
Salad cream - check.
Salad cream emptied into crisp packet - check
Crisp packet scrunched up big time to smash to little bits - check
Contents placed on a jacket potato

All to go with a smelly cucumber I suppose...........that is seriously weird. You have been living in the sticks for too long

.

You will be telling us that you used to eat sugar sandwiches next.

Is that Ju Ju with the big hands? Maybe if our players had hands like that, they wouldn't keep dropping the soddin ball!

My friend you are about as right as it is possible to be!!
