villaglint Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Ive had some of Hestons triple cooked chips and they were approximately 5% nicer than the choppy down the road from me (which is excellent BTW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I had triple cooked chips at the Beefeater the other week, which I wouldn't have minded if the rest of the meal had been cooked properly. Concentrate on my steak not the chips, you bastards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2017 Yeah I had triple cooked chips yesterday actually. They were quite nice, but there were literally four of them. In a small pot to try and fool you into thinking they haven't swindled you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everybody thinks light blue is a different colour from blue - ask Coventry and Evrton fans - "are your shirts the same colour?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Mr Mooney asking why we don't have two words for those two different colours? I mean, apart from 'light' and 'dark', they both contain 'blue'.

Yeah, but it's still called "light BLUE" - there isn't a separate name for it (I know women and paint manufacturers have a whole bunch of words like "teal", etc., but they're not in everyday use). I'm not disputing that light blue can be distinguished from dark blue, I'm saying that pink should follow the same rule, and be called "light red".

But yeah we don't have a light equivalent. Even brown has beige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual proper names for "light blue" not being used as often as they perhaps ought to be isn't a reason to stop using "pink". I mean how's that gonna go down in the fifth frame of the snooker final at the cruciple? The proper science names such as Azure, or Cyan should be used, or even Sky (though people watching the snooker on BBC might get all confused, if the balance on their telly is a bit off). And also, pink (rose) is like a mixture of white (there they all are, all the lights) and red, whereas a pale or feint or light red is basically red, but just not all that much of it, so isn't the same thing anyway. caveat - I may not know what I'm on about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
