I have a new addiction to contend with.
Thai Chilli Rice Crackers - not some ghastly 'Snack-a-Jack' filth but a proper nibble. I had them in a pub once and fucking loved them but now they sell them in Sainsbury's - i also found somewhere online that sells them in massive bags so I am trying not to order them.

These are they:

I'm two packs in already and want MORE.

I'm now at the three packs stage.
I only have one more left. I'm getting the 250g pack online - much better value. These little ones last about ten seconds.

You are confusing "eating crisps" with "noncing", here.

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:32, Reply)

I like to combine the two.
Handy if you run out of sweets, too - kids today have been warned about strangers offering sweets so the offer of some Thai Chilli Rice Crackers is a bit of a 'curved ball' and sometimes gets good results.

Have you tried those fried crunch corn-kernals? I think they're called "Corn Nuts" after a quick google.
I know you've got an addictive personailty, we both do, but these things can ween you off any addictions (or, hopefully, relationships) you want to get rid of. They do 'spicy' and 'salted', well nice. I'd totally share a bag with you, only the first bag, you'll have to get your own after that.

True story, when I was at school, I went to the kosha shop on the way 'round.
They did these "fruit rolls", which were like pancakes made out of a really condenced fruit. Totally healthy too. I was the only one who knew where to get these, so I'd buy them for like 3 for a £1 and sale them for £1 each. People were so hooked on them.

There was also the time I got a whole tub of sweets from Costco, and sold them all in the playground, did it every week for a month before I got in loads of trouble with the teachers.
I donno why I got in trouble really, thinking about it.

Perry Farrell is a daft bellend, no doubt
but that's hardly an obstacle to quality. Look at Guns N' Roses.

If you choose to take my statement literally as opposed to metaphorically,
can you name a rock band of that era you would want to look at?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:54, Reply)

Napalm Death, Sore Throat, Bolt Thrower, Extreme Noise Terror.

I'm reading the Slash autobiography at the moment
It makes for excellent reading

They brought absolutely nothing to the table.
Their main contribution was to make unashamed MD taking by rock musicians acceptable again after a few dodgy years.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:55, Reply)

I think a few of their songs are truly excellent
but you are right about the MDs. The book explains the absolute fucking wreck they all were!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:56, Reply)

That's the main reason I'd be intrigued to read it
See how many of the stories about them were made up, although I suppose the book would only establish which were made up by Slash.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:58, Reply)

It is an entertaining read

i realise I'm unlikely to find another Slash book to get it confused with,
but what's it called?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 14:02, Reply)

Inspringly it is called Slash

I should probably be able to find that then

Whilst Monty will probably rip my legs off for citing something that's not nearly as old as him, the STRAYS album was top-notch. "Just Because", especially.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:44, Reply)

I've not heard the rest of the album

(Bazongaloid, Wed 17 Aug 2011, 13:45, Reply)

Just Because is the stand-out track by some distance
but it would have been the stand-out track on any album released that year.

and now has a kid with the drummer.

They made some great records in their day, I think: 'Nothing's Shocking' is a classic.
