villa4europe Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 People who don't like black pudding. Or rather, people who turn their noses up at it because of "what it is". If you've tried it and don't like it then fair enough. But there seems to be a huge amount of people who won't even contemplate eating it because it's made from blood. The problem is with black pudding is that cheap black pudding is horrible and it tends to be a case of poor quality black pudding cut too thickly which leads to it being really dry If you get good quality and cook it right then yeah it's beautiful, if I get good quality I'll eat it raw 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's over the counter or prescription, yes. Usually to see if it's going to clash with booze or other pills. I think what pisses me off more about the instructions in the box is without fail, I will close the box up and open up the other end to get at the pills. I could just bin the instructions, as I won't look at them, but I never, ever do. I always leave them in the box and switch ends whenever I open the wrong end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crime is a crime age is irrespective (unless your name is Adam Johnson of course ) I agree. However, prisons are uniquely rubbish places for very old people. That's not to say they shouldn't be sent there, and these guys clearly deserved a prison sentence. But long sentences rapidly lose justification as the age of the inmates progresses. From the moment of arrest to the moment of release, these guys will have been in the justice system for about five years, which is hardly a trivial amount of time for people in their 60's and 70's.

lapal_fan Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Ohh breakfasts. Had an Irish breakfast in Dublin over the last weekend.. white pudding - yes it's nice, but it's just a shittier quality haggis. Sorry Ireland. Scots win, haggis > white pud. The order then, is; Haggis > Black pud > White pud* *This could be because it was from a low quality cafe in Templebar, I'm sure you can get really nice white pud, but from my experience, even cheap black pud is better.

Stevo985 Posted March 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2016 White pudding is better than black pudding. Can't say I've had haggis very often so can't really say what's better. But I did like haggis and made the comparison to white pudding myself. Haggis is a bit spicier IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a woman at my work, going on about something her dog thought was hilarious. She didn't take kindly to me pointing out, that her dog couldn't possibly find anything "hilarious". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2016 I really don't think I'd ever not have a drink because I've taken a pill that states it can't be mixed with alcohol. They're always so OTT with these instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he heck as like. It's a flag of convenience. Hansard records him saying this (pdf) Quote Mr. David Cameron (Witney): It is a pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Leigh (Andy Burnham), who knows a lot about his subject. Not only is he a football fan, he is quite an accomplished cricket player, as I discovered during a game this summer. Many of those who have spoken in the debate or have written about the subject are either lawyers or football fans, but I have to confess that I am neither: More recently was the "West Ham" crap he came out with. There is no genuine football fan on earth would accidentally say the name of the "wrong" team. More widely it bugs me that people "have to have a football team", and it bugs me that politicians like Blair and Cameron have their plastic allegiances to clubs for their own purposes.

Cameron is a villa fan , he may not be as passionate about it as you or I , but that's the team he picked he's as much a fan as Tom Hanks or Prince William but they aren't Tory so probably don't provoke as much ire with people ..lets be honest if you were going to fake a team Blair style in a bid to win votes you wouldn't pick Aston Villa would you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Cameron, choosing AVFC is just his "X factor Line" looking for sympathy, it was either AVFC or "My dog got run over when i was 5 and I don't know who my dad is". He was hardly ever going to say he supports Real Madrid was he, a calculated move that back-fired as the AVFC / West ham colour was always going to be a concern for the spin ? Next week, Corbyn loves greyhound racing. They are all words removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm pretty sure that David Cameron has been to Villa Park a fair bit, well before he became PM. The West Ham shit was a cock up due to doing a speech in East London and I think the speech writer chose West Ham as they were the local team he was encouraging people to support.
