It's sausage rolls I am missing, when you heat them in the microwave and they go dead soggy and rubbish. Pork pies too.
Chips and gravy from a chippy. It's not the same when you make them yourself...and with my ADHD I'd probably walk off to find a CD that i don't even like and burn half of Turku down.
I think I have some custard in the cupboard - It's about 3 years old. sure it's fine...it's only powder and chemicals.

That would be only 32s time turku is burned, last major was when butcher Carl Gustav Hellman got some adhd or so and managed to burn 3/4 of city in September 4, 1827. If you manage to do same then atleast we have proper foreigner to blame! "they come to take our jobs and womans AND BURN OUR CITIES!"

Yup, 1977. The Silver Jubilee street party was the done thing, much like going to Sunday School, singing hymns about some poor bugger being nailed to a cross and saying a prayer before you tucked into your shepherd's pie. Attending wasn't optional, it was expected, it was apparently "Our Queen" and we should jolly well respect here as our ruler and protector. Parents were briefed to make party hats for the kids, ours were blue with small gold stars, whilst
every other kid had a Union Jack hat!

Must have been an "everybody knows" issue

Betcha don't have Gladly, the cross-eyed bear.
As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.

Nope, I don't.
Gladly, the cross I'd bear?

Yeah, it's a hymn. Or as the wife calls it, a Salvation Army hymn.
