You know what? Tedz had a damn good point when he mentioned my comments/pictures ratio, I *don't* post enough pictures. I've had to sit back and think(!) to work out why not - and it's because really, I don't take many - certainly not anywhere near the amount I used to, more like a fraction of it. And it's because I don't really go out with the aim of taking pics like I used to! So, tonight I've searched around and found all the little bits of gear - filters, flashes etc. and I'm gonna *try* to offer more pics.... and it'll get me some exercise too. hmph. Anyways, even though I'm not the best person for going out in strange places in the dark (eg. past the front door, outside a car etc) I do enjoy playing with darkness and it's effects - so, here is a recreation of a pic I did ages ago - a Pot Noodle tub, in the dark, lit from inside...... although I really shouldn't have ate it so early after tea *groan*.... Different flavour this time - it's like me; Sweet N Sour ;-) (",)

And the thumb. Though that's technically not right, coz I used a finger to get all the sauce out, not a thumb ;-)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

You don't have these in the US? Blimey, they're perfect for over there!! You peel back the lid, take out a little plastic sauce sachet, pour boiling water to the fill mark (ie. those ripples at the top) - give it 3 mins, add a touch more water and the sauce sachet then eat. They're kinda like a thick cup-a-soup (you gotta have THOSE right?) and have virtually no real nutritional value. Cheers for the comments peeps! (",)

LOL! Indeed! This is total junk food!! And it's not even good!! But, the Brits love it for some obscur reason! O_o


cynlee posted Wed, 13 April 2005 at 1:50 PM

yes, they do have these... forgot what they're called but never tried them... sounded yukky :P


tibet2004uk posted Wed, 13 April 2005 at 2:21 PM

LOL!! It IS yukky Cyn!


ReBorneUK posted Wed, 13 April 2005 at 2:30 PM

It is NOT yukky!!! There's nothing substantial enough in there to make it yukky.... and the re-hydrated peas and carrots are nice.... although the meat is that whatchamacallit non-meat stuff.....but it tastes like meat.... lol (",)


tibet2004uk posted Wed, 13 April 2005 at 2:35 PM

Oh man!!! O_o That's actually the only good point of those things!! That the meat is not actually meat! :D

Impressive ReBourn, you listen to people, now all you have to do is read the challenge guidelines and make the thumbs 150x 150 max lol Sorry no offence couldnt resist! Nice work and great entry, shame they taste awful and have just about no nutritional value whatsoever

The Truth is Out There
