    Can't a man be happily married these days without being condemned for it?

    I can't pretend she doesn't exist, she's a big part of my life.

    I'm only joking! I'm just going through another mid-life crisis. Taking stock, and then trying to sell it on eBay.

    cob my arse!!

    its a teacake.

    Teacakes have currents in. I remember going into a chippy in halifax or maybe hudersfield with me dad when i was a kid and he asked for a chip barm, the conversation went something like this.

    ME DAD: can i have a chip barm please
    CHIP SHOP MAN: You mean a teacake
    MD: No a barm cake
    CSM: Yeah a teacake
    MD: no a barm cake
    CSM: teacake
    MD: Ok does it have currents in it.
    CSM: No
    MD: Ok.

    if i asked for a teacake and got something with currents in i'd prolly smash the shop up in a blind rage. :-D

    chip barm, i ask you. its a chip butty.

    Agreed but off topic on a Speccy forum normally means no soppy chat about wives/girlfriends etc ! I wouldnt even put the name of my wife here due to certain 'characters' around here !!

    I'm happily married and shes obviously a big part of my life but this is WOS ! You need to go to the forum at www.soppyrelationships.com for that kinda talk ! ;)

    Ha ha very good ! It was my fault when that WOS calendar backfired, for not telling the wife she'll be part of it. Was a fun thread while it lasted though

    it wasn't a porn site, it was a dating site, without the dating, if you get my drift.

    You could always get a pet, perhaps even a mouse ! Or a Flashy expensive car, I have worked with people who women weren`t interested in, then they bought a big flash car, and the women were fighting over them, that may come over as sexist, but it is an honest observation. Walking a dog seems to have the same sort of effect, it breaks the ice and gives an excuse for women to talk to you and vica versa, although the second option brings in the less materialistic woman.

    It's strange that some regulars from the site just vanish into thin air, never to be seen again.
    Wonder if Karingal will ever come back? He's been gone a while now.

    No idea how much the cost of living is in Slovakia, so cannot really comment on the 360 EUR for your flat ... you saying it's only 1 room and kitchen makes it sound like it's not very spacious. How many m? is it?

    Bohusk, you could probably get rich if you came to the UK and got up on a stage to tell your jokes right there to the audience :-D
    Just don't move to a neighbourhood that's plagued by too many clad-in-Burberry abuse yelling scumbags, I guess ...

    I left home 3 years ago and have pretty much survived on packets of 19pm Noodles from Tesco ever since...

    I'm still at my parents a lot though, as although I'm on the dole I still have to pay energy bills, and some Council Tax and eat and fund my evil Videogame addiction....so evry now and then I need to raid their fridge!

    And steal their Interweb trickery...as mentioned before (somewhere)..If I'm online, I'm 95% of the time at my parents...the other 5% is when I brave the strangely sticky keyboards and slllllooooowwwwwness of Easy Internet cafe....

    _________________________________________________________________________

    And rolls are called Baps up here sometimes as well....And due to the fact that the Teacakes I eat are of the Tunnocks chocolate variety, a cheese and ham tea cake doesn't sound very appetising...:lol:

    _________________________________________________________________________

    And I was just reading through some old Your Sinclair magazines, and it made me realise that Bohusk is the perfect candidate for Kindly Leave The Stage....it used to be filled with our European brothers and their amazing jokes....:)

    Try ASDA - 9p a pack! 3 flavours. Prawn, Beef, and Curry. Although they can all be classed under the heading - "powder shite", the noodles are okay.

    Wow! Cheers for the tip! I can now double my powder shite noodle consumption...or use the extra 10p to buy a Black Jack bar for pudding!!

    Asda+Smart+Price+-+Prawn+Flavour+Instant+Noodles+Package.jpg
    It's not a very good sign when your instant noodle packaging is semi-transparent and you can see the flavor sachet through the outside wrapper. Nevertheless, I took my chances with this one. This is part of Asda's Smart Price range. Similar to Tesco Value or Sainsbury's Basics lines, the Asda Smart Price range is a low cost line of products. The packaging is restricted to one or two colors to reduce cost as much as possible.

    These noodles were disappointingly limp and tasteless. The noodles themselves were quite gooey and starchy and didn't have the springiness illustrated on the packaging. There was barely any flavoring at all, especially not prawn flavoring. It tasted like a weak salt broth.

    These noodles were terrible, but luckily my expectations were already very low. They didn't taste bad, but there was just no taste or texture to them. I will definitely not be getting these again.

    Well, what do you expect for 9p?

    I think the flavour powder, at some point, was held up against a photograph of a prawn, in the vain hope that some of the life force from the crustation would be passed onto, and into, the finished product.

    Go to Sainsburys their instant noodles are 28p but they are a treat ( they pay me to advertise you know )........................
