I still think all this talk about a "credit crunch"is nothing but an extensive advertising campaign for a new cereal.

Right, findus crispy pancakes,does anyone actually like them?
No.I have a nearly full packet in the freezer, but hate throwing food out. They are truly manky.
I've got some 3 year old mince in the freezer that I bought as a BOGOF offer.A week later my microwave died, and remembering to defrost stuff hours before I intend to eat, isn't my 'style'.
I hate defrosting things.I always forget its in the fridge, then get paranoid im going to cause myself a slow and agonising death by dodgy chicken.
You know you shouldn't eat it now,right?
Fuckin throw it out then ;) good ideaI'll do it now, while I remember
if you cook anything long and hard enoughit'll be fine
it's been in the freezer for 3 yearswhat could possibly still be growing on it? i'd eat it.
are you calling him a poof?EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT! EAT IT!
hahaha,it's sounding like a dare.
i think most food started out as dareshow else would we have discovered that seafood is really nice
Imagine all the dares that went wrong . . .

uurgh look, Ug's drinking cows milkhow fucking gross is that!

Chuck enough chilli powder in with itand it should be fine . .
nopewell, they may have changed in the 20 odd years since I last had one, but certainly I didn't like them when I was a kid
YES!Although the only true Findus Cripsy Pancake, was the curry one, but they stopped making those years ago, the fools.
The other flavours are rubbish and don't deserve the name.
In fact, when I was a kid, when my mum was away, my dad always burned some curry findus pancakes for our tea. It has become a running joke in our family, admittedly a not very funny one to people on the outside.

we had similar 'dad's cooking' related episodesbut mine latched on to the idea of the slow cooker early on and seemed convinced that anything, put in a slow cooker with a can of mushroom soup, would miraculously turn into a casserole over the course of several hours.
man i hate mushroom soup now.

my dad wasn't much for cooking main coursesso it'd be chicken kiev, peas and chips pretty much every time.
He did make up for it by learning how to make amazingly good stodgy puddings that my mum wouldn't make as she was trying to make him diet

lucky youi just remembered 'spam fritter month' aswell, including the experiment with oxo batter. jebus
My dad could make tomato and basil sauce for pasta,and stew. We once had dry turkey and soggy sprouts one Christmas when my mum was in hospital and wanted us to still have a normal christmas but I forgive him that because it wasn't the best of times.
My dad's only other "recipe" was fried egg and chips.The chips were made in the deep-fat fryer and were the best chips known to man. I have never had chips as good as my dad used to make them.
He doesn't do any cooking now though.

my dad made amazing deep fat fryer chipshe always claimed the trick was to double dunk them to get the outsides properly crispy
Did your dad ever work in a chip shop?They always double fry them too
not that I'm aware ofthough I'm pleased that his trick was based on proper professional practice
I was under the impression that you fry them once very hotto seal the outside, then reduce temperature and fry again, to get the insides nice and fluffy.
My dad also made superb chips,and I can honestly say that I have inherited his skillz.
it seems to be a culinary skill that dads specialise in The residents of Long Benton.My housemate loves them. I quite like them, though they should make an adult sized version.
never had onedon't think i've even seen them
i'm eating a lovely lovely pizza (parma & artichoke)

I coated my slippers in breadcrumbs and put them in the ovennow it looks like I'm wearing crispy pancakes around the office.
noi wanted to like them, but they were without fail, a disappointment.
I was thinking about them the other dayand was half tempted to buy some, because I did used to enjoy them
then I remembered that at that time in my life, if it couldn't be cooked in a deep fat fryer then I wasn't able to prepare it, which probably coloured my perception more than a little, so I skipped it
then I remembered that at that time in my life, if it couldn't be cooked in a deep fat fryer then I wasn't able to prepare it, which probably coloured my perception more than a little, so I skipped it
every now and then I consider getting a deep fat fryerbut I think it would make my not terribly healthy diet an order of magnitude less healthy
i was talked out of getting a fryerdue to the universally acknowledged fact that i am a forgetful fuckwit and it would more than likely lead to me burning down multiple houses
Weed + deep fat fryerdoes sound like a bad combination...
indeedthe last time i deep fried "spicy prawns" then made jam donuts the day after. the donuts were somewhat odd
this, acutally, is a fine pointespecially as the idea of chips would appeal to me upon stumbling in from a night on the sauce
I do have an old style one, but the only time I've ever seen them in use was on public safety warnings about chip pan fires, so I don't use it

they are a terrible ideaI've resolved never to have another; the stink, the mess, and the health implications are all too much to bear
they give me conflictionsthe idea is great but they burn easily, leak easily, the beef ones are like soya and the texure of the pancake is a little odd. they are howdver, often on bogof, go great on a butty and are good munchies so long as you dont burn the skin off the inside of your mouth.

To be fair, they're a product of the late 1970's/early 1980's when we didn't know any better.
They have a certain childhood nostalgic charm to them.

that's a good pointthey are like early prototype junk food.
i was trying to find a way to explain that withoutcoming over all middle class.
"council house food" does just fine though, i guess.
thing is they aren't especially cheap food, just lazy, processed food.

not even mr findus likes them I bet he doesmainly for the profit margins
As a small child I always really wanted mum to get them* but she was too middle class for that(*presumably because of some kind of clever child-targeted marketing)
consequently having never ever had them they remain the holy grail of food in my mind** so I must never ever eat them and destroy this illusion
** much like the toy/pair of trainers one never had as a child that would have made life unmeasurably better - that probably wouldn't have done

Heh, you wanted those Clarks magic key princess shoes too then? We never had pot noodles or white breadwhen I was growing up, or basically any processed food at all. This meant that as soon as I left to go to uni I indulged in all these things. This made me the "fine" figure of a woman I am today. I should have listened to my Ma.
Oh wait.I like the ones that are like little more solid triangles and have a thick slice of processed ham in them. They're lovely. I don't think they're Findus tho.

OH ARFUR! That's as maybe, young man, but you're an ugly unkempt little boy with no manners who smells funny. Perhaps you should go away and think about what you've done and come back when you've grown up.
what shockingly poor taste Is thebear still around?getting an official barcode number is rather complex and you need to register your company, there are people that will give you one for £10-20 but that can be a pain... if you want to make one up make is an EAN-13 code like this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EAN-13
you can either download a barcode font or use one of the many online generators
http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/generator/
however be warned, making one up at random has it's risks.

*doffs cap* BTW, I answered your query re the sim-city-esque plant, but you might have missed it... crikey... is that like a communal cooling thingor is it to chill normal cold water.
a bit of both.but "district cooling" is the norm on these big developments out there. They use that with heat exchangers to chill normal water as well as for AC and so on....

"Any use of this product, in any manner whatsoever, will increase the amount of thermal disorder (entropy) in the universe. Although no liability is implied herein, the consumer is warned that this process will eventually lead to the heat death of the universe."
they have some of that in the City, unfortunately it stopped100 m from our site... and the heating isn't reliable enough for a hotel, they have about 4 shut-downs per year.

BarcodesHow do you make up a barcode?
I've found barcode creators but is it as simple as making any old number up and then creating the barcode?
I'm stuck on some artwork until I can solve this riddle.
Also, I've finally given up on IE, and this is my first day on firefox, its quite groovy
If you don't give a flying ****, apart from Gary Glitter, who would you not like to sit next to on an aeroplane?

does the barcode actually need to do anything?i.e will you be distributing the thingie to shops and suchlike? Or is it just for show?
its for a shop inLiverpool, one shop only
i would try to make sure it is clearly distinctfrom 'real' barcodes then, or confusion may ensue
surely its just a matter of the number matching the barcode andbeing inputted into a shops sustem?
like this?
like this?
you should just be able to usea standard barcode generator, though it is easy enough to work them out by hand but less easy to generate the strips. i think 13 digits is the usual suspect
The one I found down there \ / makes various different types, including those odd square ones, and the uppydowny ones beloved of American delivery companies...
the odd square ones arequite cool*
