The vocal only lasts for 28 seconds, so it's rather difficult to spot but it's definitely Heinz singing.

well mr bunt , i always thought tapes and cd's were recordings from vinyl recordings , now you must also remember that a lot of stuff you get on tape and cd's are not the recordings from the number 1 hit single. The recording companys made numerios recoordings before finaly choosing the one for the charts , these lesser ones becomming available in later years to the unsuspecting listener.

Food in the 21st century.

I've just bought 250 boxes of Tesco Everyday Value burgers. What a bargain!

They only cost me a pony :-D

Nay lad, never buy that many. You'll not be able to fit them in your fridge, and then - they're off! I hope they don't give you the trots... and if they do you're soon in a stable condition.

A friend of mine who's an analytical chemist with a local pharmaceuticals firm checked them out for me. He said the fat level looked OK but he didn't like the Shergar content.

I forgot to mention that after I'd bought the burgers I went to see my doctor. She told me to watch what I eat and gave me two tickets for the next race meeting at Newmarket.

If you're still hungry when you've finished the burgers you could round them off with a Dessert Orchid...

...and when eating is finished, if a certain type of smoking is your preference, one could sit back and have a nice Havanna shergar. ....
.... - Update - OOPS!, Sorry Mr. Bunt. Somehow missed yours about Shergar: Mine's not so good!

I use to like eating those VESTA CHOW MEIN, VESTA CHOP SUEY & VESTA BEEF CURRY meals that came in a dry-form in a box that you had to cook yourself.

With the VESTA CHOW MEIN & CHOP SUEY you use to have to cook the crispy noodles that came with these meals in a deep frying pan, i use to like those meals but i haven't seen them in any shops now for maybe over 25 years now?.

ALSO AS WELL

WALLS tinned sauages in lard. Lovely :wink:
You can still get Vesta curries etc, all the traditional varieties too. As for the sausage, I dont know about walls but Westlers do sausages in lard ina tin. I had some a couple of years ago and boy I can't begin to tell you bloody horrible they were! :shock:
Its good to know where you stand. Saves making a fool of yourself later......

Like the Peperami advertising - "It's a bit of an animal" - yes, but which bit?
