not wearing socks is uncivilised

i had the flu a few weeks back and drank a bottle of vitamin water, so no judgments

sarahell, Thursday, 17 January 2013 20:07 (thirteen years ago)

Was it a twee bottle of vitamin water that tried to be matey with you? Normal vitamin water is fine.

> How many fucking tiny bobble hats do you need in one square foot of space?

that's a thing though, isn't it. once a year all the bottles come with tiny bobble hats and some money goes to some charity, somehow.

p much impossible to spend money at a supermarket without contributing to corporate dickheadery, self-forgiveness is the path of least resistance

I visited the Rackspace offices last year and they've got bizarre grassy bits and fake parks and stuff inside the building.

turns out the french aren't immune to the exact same twee copy style:

jonathan livingston seapunk (c sharp major), Thursday, 4 April 2013 21:30 (thirteen years ago)

Is that site actually aimed at French people, or just English speaking people who want to buy twee food labelled in French?

Will you see a political publicity stunt? (snoball), Thursday, 4 April 2013 21:38 (thirteen years ago)

(my French isn't actually good enough to tell the difference)

Will you see a political publicity stunt? (snoball), Thursday, 4 April 2013 21:38 (thirteen years ago)

french people! this stuff isn't sold in the uk (in fact the packet is very proud that some of their biscuits could be found in, specifically, the dean and deluca on broadway in new york city, in 2010)

jonathan livingston seapunk (c sharp major), Thursday, 4 April 2013 23:00 (thirteen years ago)

oh god michel et augustin... i have a few friends who worked or interned there and they made it sound just as twee as you'd think. bt it's changed a bit the past couple of years and now supposedly either michel or augustin is a major pain in the ass. i have to hand it to them though, some of their biscuits are really tasty. quite expensive too though.

bye bye our pieminister pie
we're really going to miss you
and that is no lie
it's just those good ol' boys
are waiting with their
mash on the side singing
this is the day we'll eat pie
this is the day we'll eat pie

Printed on the side of their takeaway bags. Have these people even ever heard the fucking song? Half the lines don't fit ffs.

iirc the instructions printed on the card box Pieminister pies come in say "open the flaps and munch". MISTAH WRIGHT!

warm leveret (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 15 May 2013 14:34 (thirteen years ago)

I'd forgive the twee if the pies weren't terrible

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:10 (thirteen years ago)

have never had a pie that i'd really say was "nice". is it even possible? they're just soakage as far as i can tell.

... (LocalGarda), Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:23 (thirteen years ago)

nice is maybe the wrong word but you can't whack a good pie

the league against cool sports (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:25 (thirteen years ago)

yeah that's my feeling. perhaps the ones i've tried just aren't formidable enough. like what's the quintessentially great british pie?

i speak as someone who fucking loves their pub counterpart, a scotch egg. actually saying that i'd have to say the best pies i've had are the cold ones where you get a big slice and maybe some mustard with it.

... (LocalGarda), Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:27 (thirteen years ago)

that's a terrible thing to print on a bag. i hate the song "american pie". why would satan want to destory rock and roll? it doesn't even make any sense.

Treeship, Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:28 (thirteen years ago)

xp Steak & Kidney has to be up there. Steak & ale also.

Neil S, Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:28 (thirteen years ago)

aye a good steak and kidney is the pinnacle for me, assuming i can't just say "my nan's meat and potato pie" which i haven't eaten in 30-odd years. a great Cornish pasty can hit the spot too. apart from pasties, pie on the go is never fully satisfactory in my experience. can't beat a plate, a pile of mash and mushy peas and plenty of decent gravy to set a pie in its best light.

the league against cool sports (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:33 (thirteen years ago)

my chicken + leek pie beats anything pieminister could come up with. As annoying as PM have since become, they were always a staple at music festivals, where they were a notch above nasty festival burgers.

food and boardgames and minimal techno (NotEnough), Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:42 (thirteen years ago)

Chicken & leek pie a great way to use up half a roast chicken.

Neil S, Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:46 (thirteen years ago)

Those old thin crust (and presumably BSE-ridden) fish-and-chip-shop steak and kidney pies - classic.

Nu-pies are always too dry.

Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:50 (thirteen years ago)

I have no problem with Pieminister pies as food objects - proper pastry, decent ingredients, not too dry - but the ridiculous names stick in my craw. Only one stamp on my card before I get a free one though so I'll have to suck it up a bit longer.

Elvis was a hero to most but he never her (ledge), Thursday, 16 May 2013 14:53 (thirteen years ago)

The pies are alright but the little boxes you get them in are never big enough and you have to dig the stupid wooden fork thing in at awkward angles and sort of hack at the crust.

Is this the right place to post about the new coke marketing ploy which involves putting peoples names on the bottles and pretending like its your best friend?
