On a lighter, less Stalinist note
I've just had a bowl of those mini Weetabix. Not just the plain ones, the ones with chocolate chips*.

So, how fantastic as your morning been so far?


*They were on offer, £1 a box in Asda, so I bought 6 boxes. Go while the offer's still on. Go now, Go on. Now, before they sell out. Are you still here?

7/10
However I think you may have bought too many boxes. You may get bored.

they have
a long shelf life, though. I say 8/10
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Fri 29 Jan 2010, 9:53, Reply)

they aren't that great though
the chocolate in them is weird tasting

I'd rather have regular weetabix.

or the far superior toast.

toast for breakfast is wrong
I've not had chochip weetabix, I just assumed it would be awesome

I remember the great breakfasts of the past: cappucino alpen, banana pops, all lost to low ratings

don't be absurd
toast is one of the greatest things in this world or any other.

toast is great, I concede
but for breakfast it is too dry. cereal and it's accompanying milk really enlivens the soul

Ganary toast, melted butter and marmite

I could happily have this as my last meal.

you just need to have the appropriate refreshment with your toast
for instance, this morning I got a load of frozen apple, melon, grapes and mandarin, whizzed it into a smoothie with some apple juice and had it with marmite and butter on granary toast.

You see I was about to agree with you about the toast
but then you spoilt it with all this ham and mustard nonsense. Breakfast toast has to either have marmalade on it, or be dipped in egg.

If you must have pork products on it, then bacon with a bit of brown sauce, or ketchup if you must.


Bloody ham indeed, that's not breakfast that's a picnic.
( sandettie light vessel automatic New Twitter - @bollocksreally, Fri 29 Jan 2010, 10:18, Reply)

obviously dipped in egg is the pinnacle of toast-use
but I'm a much bigger fan of savoury things than of sweet, so marmalade doesn't do it for me.

I'll have some occasionally, as my mum happens to make the best marmalade ever, but usually I'll go with marmite. Ham is for special occasions. It's a family tradition that Christmas Day starts with ham on toast for breakfast.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 29 Jan 2010, 10:22, Reply)

Buy a jar of chipotle
and spread it thinly on buttered toast like you would Marmite. I'm almost addicted to this.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 29 Jan 2010, 10:24, Reply)

STOP EVERYTHING! I NEED TO STAND UP FOR TOAST
Because that's all I had for breakfast this morning. Toast with marmite does it for me, especially if I can be arsed to set up the coffee machine as well. Admittedly with a gut still periodically expanding from last night's curry, I think anything more elaborate would have been a mistake.

But I like Noel's suggestion of chipotle...

So it is. I guess I should have gone to bed at some point earlier then.

My morning has been averagely fantastic I guess, I re-ripped all my CDs while I watched Smoking Aces 2 earlier but now I need to decide what I'm going to do with my day.

You wouldn't believe how wonderful my morning has been
Separate incidents, within seconds of leaving the house for work:
One "beautiful as ever, I see you all the time." Check.
One wolf-whistle from a slowly-passing van. Check.

Now yesterday I had my ex comparing me to a an Aston Martin DB7 Zagato "Looks good from every angle, puts up with anything you do to it and has one of the best arses of all time."
But you have to take that with a pinch of salt, because it's an ex, right, and I bet he says that to all the girls. And the putting up with stuff can be taken two ways!

But all-in-all, I'm feeling a lot less anxious about the big event tonight, because I reckon I have fairies around me or something.
