Five Things You Don?t Know About Me
Dragon has only gone and tagged me (the bugger). So here's five things you don't know (or might not know) about me:
- I lived with my parents until I was 25 (yes, that's twenty-five).
- I have never been to America.
- I was once a door-to-door salesman for Granton/Ds-Max (and hated it immensely).
- My favourite food is sandwiches.
- I have absolutely no irrational fears or phobias about anything at all (feel free to challenge me on this one).
This is me, tagging Annie, Ian and Sharky. Tell us what we don't know dudes.

25 is nada. You wouldn't believe the number of people I know over 30 who are still living with their parents...
Sandwiches though...that's worrying.

I can verify that these are all true, yeah 25....pffffft! I was gone before he was at 19!! heehee!! Ah no that's bad, Mam cried when I left, I remember Dad telling me that and I felt really sad.

What do they sell, this Granton/D-Max? Door to door is my idea of hell, (nearly ended up selling Encyclopedia Britannicas to American army families on German airbases but saw the light just in time)
Don't know if I have anything left you all don't know about me; may have to start making stuff up...

What's wrong with sandwiches Treasa?! Sandwiches are like, the best thing ever!
There's a Wikipedia entry on Granton/Ds-Max, but the best thing you could do is skip to the "complaints section", and the links below that. Oh, and making stuff up is perfectly acceptable, in lieu of your deepest darkest secrets you may not necessarily want the entire world to know.

MMMMMMM sandwiches, just realised, I was actually 18 when I moved out, haha!!

Sandwiches are not food. They are things you eat when you cant get food.
The same way baked beans are not a meal, and full english/irish breakfast is not a real breakfast.
Meh!

Define food...."Food is any substance consumed by living organisms, including liquid drinks. Food is the main source of energy and of nutrition for animals, and is usually of animal or plant origin"....therefore, Sambos are SO food, yum, sambos are my fav too Matt.

Food is what I say it is.
Sandwiches are not real food. Not like say ... a nice steak.
/me chuckles to himself.

Well defined there Babs. And that's a qualified definition, being as you are a qualified foodie-person. Sambos are food, no question about it.
Baked beans are also a meal, but only if you are a student.
So "Meh!" back at ya Adrian, and also :-P
Posted by: Matt | January 4, 2007 2:53 PM
I have baked beans for dinner sometimes if I am not that hungry, they are yum, they are also special "Sarah" beans - take one mini tin of beans, take two slices of batch loaf (brown) and toast, finely chop some red onion and corriander, add onion and corriander to beans, heat through, spread toast with butter (real) & marmite (yum) pour over special beans, and there you have it, tasty tastic, oh, black pepper to taste too, mmmm!! And I am only half a student, s'there!

What's a real breakfast then, Adrian?
And what's in a full Irish breakfast?
Posted by: QE | January 4, 2007 4:33 PM
QE, an Irish brekkie is like an English one, but with more brains. See the Wikipedia entry (yes, there is one!) for more details.
Posted by: Matt | January 4, 2007 5:20 PM
Hahahahahahaha!!!
PS: Food is what I say it is s'there!! :P

Beans go in a salad. They are not a meal into themselves.
I'm quite partial to a Mediterranean breakfasts actually.
A full E/I breakfast, when you take away the beans (not a meal) the pork (which I don't eat) and the poorly fried oily eggs, mushroom, and tomatoes, you just have bread. Not a meal.
Come to SW London and I;ll take you to some good breakfast brunch places.
Sandwiches are for eating on the move. They are not a real meal.
Posted by: Adrian | January 5, 2007 9:34 AM
But your first argument was that beans and / sambos are not food, now you are saying that they are not a real meal. A meal is an instance of eating, specifically one that takes place at a specific time and includes specific, prepared food. This specific, prepared food may be a sandwich, ie: if I have a sandwich for lunch today, is that not food / a meal? And if so...why not?
PS: You should never eat on the move, it's bad for digestion :P
PPS: Beans can also go into things other than salads like "beans and toast" for instance (haha) or chillo con carne or anything you want them to go into, eat with an open mind!! Go on....

A full E/I breakfast does not require fried eggs. Scrambled are a perfectly acceptable alternative.
"Sambos" are also good (although I feel the use of that word is straying a little too close to Robinson's jam territory), a bacon, sausage and egg baguette being perhaps the closest thing we have to Ambrosia.

Sigh.
Heathens the lot of you.
And Sambo is how the dance in Brazil I hear.

What is "Robinsons Jam".
"Sambo" is not as bad as "Shambo" a la O'Briens Sanwich Shops, it's a sandwich on bread that is made in the shape of a shamrock, how tacky!!
Posted by: Babs | January 5, 2007 3:44 PM
I'm sick and tired of sandwich shops trying to sell me "shambos", "crambos", "slimbos" and other variations, I want a fucking SANDWICH. Or preferably, sandwiches.
Posted by: Matt | January 5, 2007 4:11 PM
What about Sambidges??
Snadwich shops are shite, I make nice sandwiches, yum yum!! I think I will have a sandwich for dinner actually, just to annoy you Adrian :P
Posted by: Babs | January 5, 2007 4:46 PM
A long time ago (well, middle of last century anyway), 'sambo' was a derogatory term for coloured people. The link to Robertson's (sorry, not Robinson's - my bad) jam is that up until 2001, their mascot was a Gollywog.
Posted by: Dragon | January 5, 2007 5:38 PM
Oh right...
I have always said Sambo for sandwiches, maybe I am just lazy though!
Posted by: Babs | January 5, 2007 10:13 PM
Bugger - I've been tagged! I shall respond shortly... hope you are well and had a great Christmas / New Year! :-)
