YoungWillz 21,124 Posted February 20, 2018 Cream Soda for the win. Nothing better on a hot day than Cream soda in a glass, topped up with a scoop of ice cream. Summer luxury. Winter luxury...Creamola Foam. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demise assured after Sodastream came on the market, like fondue sets and Simply Red CD's , sign of an aspiring wanker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,512 Posted February 20, 2018 I know who Simply Red are, but I had to Google fondue sets (assumed it was sushi or something!) and Soda Streams. Chippy run by this old guy near Glasgow Uni about 10-15 years ago. Used to sell the usual but also had some of them (like chips and cheese) on the menu on the wall in French as well as English. French ones were triple the price. Same portion size too. Apparently he made a pretty penny off uni folk and typical West Enders. One of the Glasgow geniuses, that.

Yes it was on sale a few years back but it didn't taste as good. And just to be boring and on topic I'm off booze and crisps, so far so good but Saturday night wasn't easy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be very unhelpful. Hmmmm. I am guessing the weird arse Church he claims to belong to is The Logos Apocalyptic Church of God.

Interestingly I never eat pancakes, but a recent discussion led to commenting on Vermont syrup, which I've never ponied up the $$ to buy. So of course this past week I did in fact spend over $10 US for syrup. Got some organic pancake mix. And promptly never got around to making any pancakes. Now I'm back on a rig..... no pancakes for a month. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
