Cerbera100 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 id give nigel farage a chance at shaking things up......hes goodself described as the most hated person in european parliment.....gets my vote How true! Anyone who stands up in (euro) parliament and calls the sitting president a 'wet flannel' can represent me any time! Quote
ski Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 heres a link to some of nigel farage's speeches "puppet govt installed in greece and italy" is just superb.all the phoneys must quake in their boots when they lock horns with a politician who is as good as this.makes the muppets in charge at the moment look very amateur.

Peckris Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Next time any of you are passing through the Midlands get yourself into Mad O'Rourkes pie factory...well worth a visit, especially for the pie virgins!! Ah, you're talking about the Little Pub Company! That was Mad O'Rourke's empire, and a wonderful thing it was too The pie in question was called "Desperate Dan's Cow Pie", and was so deep and so hot (once you got past the pastry horns on the top ) that it was almost still too hot to eat by the time you'd got to the two thirds mark and were thinking "I can't manage any more". Am I right in remembering that you got a free pint if you could actually finish a Desperate Dan?Ah, happy days. Quote
Rob Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 We have pies up here too. Holland's Pie Foundry is in Baxenden, near Accrington. Quote

Oh I remember those! Soggy flaky pastry, mmmmmm. Actually if I remember right, there was a Fray Bentos S&K pudding which you steamed. Apart from being a little on the small size, it were reet gradely with new potatoes and peas. Quote

Perhaps younger generations may think they actually contain brains, hence the name change? Quote
Peter Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I love a nice bit of liver or kidney (my nickname was Kidney wiper)but faggots no Quote
Peckris Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I love a nice bit of liver or kidney (my nickname was Kidney wiper)but faggots no The supermarkets now market them as "Moroccan (or Turkish) meatballs" with some pretentious sauce and fancypants packaging. Quote
Red Riley Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 tax doesnt apply to cold pies..........carry around with you, youre own microwave.....ask this bloke greg if you can plug it in and heat up.......simples Or you could just eat a curry and then sit on it for half an hour. Quote
Gary D Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 surly the pie tax should be 3.14% >.>Or for the oldies on here 22/7 Quote
Accumulator Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) surly the pie tax should be 3.14% >.>Or for the oldies on here 22/7These are approximations. You could always calculate it more accurately from:e^iπ + 1 = 0 Edited April 13, 2012 by Accumulator Quote
