I might be a bit of a foodie, and would struggle to fend off accusations of being a food snob. However, as soon as I feel a pang of hunger or often, if I just see a scotch egg while shopping, I'm twitching like a junkie.
The Tesco double pack takes some effort to walk past; M&S' effort is a bit like Kirstie Allsopp with a riding crop in her hand uttering 'you've been a naughty boy!' And as for the Waitrose black pudding scotch egg; a bit like a Joey Barton 40 yarder....just can't pass it!

Those of us who have reached ‘ a certain age ‘ would remember with fondness the frozen Jubbly. Nothing better on a boiling hot day at school.

Frozen Jubblies!! What a lolly !!! What memories!!!!
Just four old pence worth of heaven.
We used to buy them before we handed over six old pence for Saturday morning pictures at South Harrow Odeon, go into the front row of the upper circle, suck the orange juice out whilst watching Tom and Jerry and the Bowery Boys, and then chuck the triangular blocks of ice down on the Alma Road gang sitting downstairs in the stalls.
Were they a Walls or Lyons product?, They were a real winner in the late fifties - every kid bought them, so what did they get replaced by? Surely not a Raspberry Ripple or a Strawberry Split? Drink on a stick maybe? Who knows? Answers please.
Why does it feel like R'SWiPe is still on the books? Yer Couldn't Make It Up.Well Done Me!

Never heard of the frozen jubbly. We had ice poles in the 70s. Unsurprisingly there was a bit of a run on them in 76.
We used to ask the shopkeeper to root around in the freezer as some of the Jubblies were slightly less frozen and were more pleasant to devour. These were much prized. Penny Arrow bars were exquisite as well.

Lyons or Walls? Both made in Middlesex.

The Saturday morning shows at the South Harrow Odeon. Now there are blasts from the past and there are blasts from the past; and that is a proper blast. Lord knows what we ate back then, but I doubt any of it was remotely healthy.
Next week, Shot will take us down memory lane with a visit to Sellanby!

They weren't triangular, they were tetrahedral with four triangular sides; a pyramid, but with a triangle instead of a square for the base. The shape was the origin for the Tetra Pak company.
Remember you could buy milk in the same tetrahedrons? Do you also remember the refrigerated milk vending machines that dispensed them (early '60s)? There was one near my godfather's place in Harlesden. I had to check the drawer every time I passed it.
And while we're here..."This Is What We Find", Ian Dury and the Blockheads:
"Forty year old housewife, Mrs. Elizabeth Walk of Lambeth Walk Had a husband who was jubblified with only half a stalk So she had a milk of magnesia and curry powder sandwich, half a pound of uncut pork Took an overdose of Omo, this made the neighbours talk Could have been watching Frankie Vaughan on the telly and giving herself a scratch"

My local cinema too John; I was more of a Westles hot dog boy myself, with plenty of American mustard, than a Jubbly kid, as they were saved for the walk home from school, purchased in Dearings at Oldfield Circus.
Remember the sports shop next to the pictures - was it Jenners? Off to South Harrow market after that to get my shoes mended.

There was a bloke getting into a taxi on our way to luncheon with my colleague and I remarked 'looked like Rasputin' (we are both rockers) and he mentioned this....
So anyway about 3 hours later we are still going 'Ra ra..' I made the mistake of googling it.
It starts of almost folk not your usual disco track.

Donner meat and chips
Nothing guilty about that. Put me in a kebab shop and I'm like 'give me the entire elephant's leg.'
Guilty pleasures:
You know Peperamis right? No, that's not the guilty pleasure. You know the weird plastic condom thing they come in? The thing inside the packet but around the peperami? That's where all the flavour is. I'll suck the shit out of that thing.
The song 'Gypsy Woman' by Crystal Waters. It's not very punk rock but that keyboard riff is SPECTACULAR.
The 1995 film Mortal Kombat. And it's even less credible sequel.
Prisoner Cell Block H.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH MARTI THE REDEEMER WHO STRENGTHENS ME.

Struggling to think of anything i like which isn't cool; i can't think of anything. American Football, perhaps? Video games? But they are getting bloody good nowadays.
If there was something, i'm sure i'd be easily able to convince myself that i'm right and the rest of the world is wrong. That's my usual strategy, works a treat. And it's more or less right most of the time anyway.
Ps No offence, but Billy Joel, take out one or two, is bloody awful.

She's very attractive and sounds like Dionne Warwick. Nice chord progression in the song as there was with their other hit record whose name escapes me...
I swear the keyboard at 1:14 is Toni Leistner when he had hair.
