the Binley Mega Chippy song has been stuck in my head all week

it seems a bit expensive for one lot of fish & chips, but then again he did get beans, curry sauce, gravy and mushy peas!

calzino, Friday, 10 June 2022 22:15 (one year ago) link

my local chippy is much cheaper and the proprietor, Paul is a certified master chef and was once presented with the Best Chips Award by Keith Chegwin (beating off some stiff competition no doubt) and he used to be the personal chef of Prince Andrew, but doesn't like to talk about it so much now!

the last time I went last month I got 1 fish & chips, 2 portions of chips (in much more generous proportions than seen in the vid), 2 large cups of curry sauce, 2 large cups of mushy peas and two portions of collops and I still had a fiver in my change from a 20 spot. I'd just simply refuse to pay London prices in Coventry!

Rainy fascism island had a good run.

Andrew Gwynne, Labour MP for Denton and Reddish in Greater Manchester, said that wet wipe pollution was turning riverbanks into “a horrific scene from a Nightmare Before Christmas”, a reference to the Tim Burton’s dark fantasy film about a Halloween world populated by mummies, skeletons and monsters.

I think that probably is real, actually.

https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/reports-mans-hand-chopped-off-24715290

Someone has had their hand chopped off outside Deighton WMC over a £10 bag of weed. Not very amusing but I did have a grim chuckle to myself when I read it which is a bad not good thing to do. It always was a very bad vibes WMC with a killer Alsatian often left out on the flat roof (a bit of 70's/80's thing at various rough as fuck flat roof pubs) that used to snarl at schoolkids walking past on a morning, and the psycho-gammon landlord used to threaten to let it loose on them if they persisted in throwing stones at the poor beast. I grew up just around the corner and it's a classic heart-warming Real Deighton story that will no doubt have an even grimmer follow up.

“I have lived here for 20-odd years and there will be reprisals. I hear he has lost his hand over a £10 bag of weed. I was here the last time a lad had his arm nearly sliced off.”

most blood feuds do start over some trivial shit, but lord, a tenner bag of weed is a new low!

i blame metric, it was better when they sold it in eighths

seo layer (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 13 August 2022 10:25 (one year ago) link

I haven't bought weed in years but it seems weed dealers have took a side in the imperial vs metric war, bloody melts!

calzino, Saturday, 13 August 2022 10:28 (one year ago) link

but when I did buy weed in the early 90's in the Sheepridge/Deighton area, interactions with dealers was always very cordial and relaxed, never felt in any peril or ever caught sight of a machete!

if a fvcked with screen names i'd definitely pinch "sugar-free traditional custard (albeit shrew-flavoured)"

mark s, Saturday, 13 August 2022 10:50 (one year ago) link

was curious if people eat shrews and there is a US Catch and Cook a shrew guide on YT. But their shrews look much bigger.

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 13 August 2022 11:32 (one year ago) link

Torrential rain this afternoon after very hot weather the previous few days. I was on the bus home and there were a lot of drenched people. In front of me were two 14-15 year old lads who were skateboarders dressed in t-shirts and shorts. One of them said to the other "If I was wearing my waterproof jacket and trousers nothing would touch me except your mum."

A little outside of the thread's charter, but still:

I put crisps in between buttered bread, and yet you say I am not part of this culture?

I shout "weyyyy" when someone smashes a glass in a pub, and still I am not part of your culture?

BBC1's prime time show this evening is a single 90 minute shot of a van driving down a road in the drizzle.

slow television. it's a thing.

koogs, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 18:43 (one year ago) link

you know, with the right soundtrack (so not these cunts droning on) this could be pretty good TV

i had the same thought a few minutes back, take out the obsequious blather over the top and put a few captions on there and you've got a show

seo layer (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 13 September 2022 19:18 (one year ago) link

you wait until they drive back to London, could easily get 12 hours out of that, simulcast on the red button.

trying it with some different music, not sure this one works, any suggestions?

It's better if you take away the tedious commentary and add some music. pic.twitter.com/Kv9zxITydm
