    Left the house in a hurry this morning and forgot my wallet. So it's lunch time and I have a very limited amount of cash and only one place to spend it to get some food, so I bought (I can barely type the words) an ....Apple...Oh the shame of it:( . What type of food should I eat when I get home to make up for this gross affront to my ManPack ?

    A nice lard sambo, that'll sort you out. :D

    Well, apples should only be eaten in pies. with plenty of:

    a) Whipped cream
    b) Ice cream
    c) custard

    or all of the above...

    So I think to play it safe and not upset your system too much you should eat a few pies. Tesco's finest should do the trick.

    I feel your pain Brother Slow Motion, I feel your pain, as I'm in the exact same boat today. Just to add insult to injury, I only have fecking funsize apples which are more made to be inhaled than eaten.

    The way I intend to make up for this is through hot dogs for dinner, quarter pounders for supper, and snickers bar for the spaces in between.

    Get a takeaway pizza when you get home with good manly toppings - beef, ham, chicken, pepperoni more beef.

    Then when you wake up with your gut rumbling at 2am, get your toast on - 6 slices of white bread toast, lavishly covered with proper Kerrygold butter should do the trick. It'll put to rest any worries your gut has :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Slow Motion


    Thanks for the advice brothers I think I have restored balance to the equation. Had a snickers on the way home followed by Bolognaise (sp ?) followed a little later by fried spuds and fishfingers, a bottle of nice red, followed by a couple of cans of hino. (Mr T voice) "Pity the fool who entered the crapper after me this morning" :D

    The midnight snacking is a good idea but might i recomend taking the trouble to fry up a packet of kearns's sausages and make sandwiches to truly take the edge of your hunger.If you have a sweet rather than savoury tooth,you might be better off with an apple tart or a packet of those individual fruit pies.

    I did this today also. I had a grand total of €3 sitting on my desk at work. I went and got a packet of Tayto salt and vinegar, hunky dories, a double decker bar, and a snickers duo. I shall make sure to have a hefty dinner later on.

    You should have spent that €3 on a buttered roll, a few packets of crisps, a can of coke and a kingsize snickers to be had with tea for dessert.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭runswithascript


    You could pretty much almost get a proper roll with chicken fillet, lettuce, tomato, coleslaw etc for €3. If in doubt wink at the eastern european girl working in the deli and perhaps give her a pat on her ass.

    the homer simpson moon waffle is the only way to go

    My sympathies brother. I blame the fast pace of modern life, I always seem to be rushing to get into work so I can spend the day doing nothing :D
    After my mishap earlier in the week I have taken to leaving an emergency tenner stashed in the office, I don't want to go through that trauma again :o

    Brother Petes, it's for days like these that the EuroSaver menu was invented. You could have gotten 3 cheeseburgers to keep you going and then nip off early from work before you waste away!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Brothers, the nearest shop to me does not have a deli. Well there is one about twenty yards further but I'm not making that trip. And as for getting any of the above for €3 forget about it. Crisps and chocolate ftw.

    Get yourself a 1lb of frytex that should sort you out.

    If you had been in around town you could have picked yourself up a FREE lunch box thingy from the Danone Girls containing an apple and a yoghurt :p

    Ah yes but you would have got your apple for free and had 50c to spare.. 50c would have bought you a packet of crisps.. So you would have had an apple, a yoghurt and a packet of crisps.. :D

    We must be vigilant for brothers who are suffering. Some are under duress and have wandered far from the true path of manliness. Anyway why is fun-size always small. Them feckin fun-size bars are a joke. Probably for wimmin so they wont feel guilty that they ate more than a lettuce leaf last week.:D


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Because, Brother gofer, the fun is seeing how many you can fit into your mouth at one time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    I made up for it yesterday evening. Had 6 burgers (no baps) and a plate load of chips with bread and butter. Two chocolate rolo yoghurts for dessert and three bags of crisps.

    I will not be making the same mistake of forgetting to bring money with me to work!

    Excellent comeback brother, you have redeemed yourself admirably:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    Brothers. Surely this situation could have been avoided if Brother Slow had chosen the correct manner in which to EAT his apple. For example, who other than a brother of this forum would eat an apple in the stalls of the jacks in work? If I was covering my shoes and heard someone eating an apple in the bog next door, I would respect that man. For yea, this is a man who is not bound by convention.

    Look ! Mistakes were made brother :o , I held my hand up and confessed and have been doing my best to rectify the situation since then (take breakfast this morning for example, 2 eggs 2 sausages, beans, mushrooms, 3 slices of toast smothered in butter, b&w pudding, and a slice of tomato which i laughingly left on the side of the plate to be ignored:D ), I only created the thread as a cautionary tale so my brothers wouldn't fall into the same trap.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    very caring of you brother slow.


    some might say.... suspiciously caring.

    Bollocks to that then. Nothing tops of a magnificent fry quite like a fried tomatoe.

    On my drunken ramblings through town last night after the club I had consumed
    a BLT,
    a pack of cheese popcorn,
    a snickers,
    an XL BK big king
    a pack of Rancheros
    a can of coke
    before I got into the taxi. I made tea and toast when I got home.
