Discos

Yessss! For the salt factor.

Cheese puffs, left to go stale. Really increases the cheese hit and you get chewy not that horrible dusty that gets stuck in your teeth and gums

I'm a bit like that with cereals. Always use loads of milk, and leave it to go soggy. A soggy golden nugget was a thing of glory back in the day.

The recommendation of Tesco’s Roast Beef and Horseradish crisps was spot on, exceptionally strong, just how I like them.

Cheers

I wonder if we could make tis work over here Sara ?

Man with 102 children says enough is enough.
If getting the kids fed, dressed and packed off to school this morning felt like an ordeal, spare a thought for Musa Hasahya Kasera.

The Ugandan villager has 102 children, but has finally said enough is enough because he cannot afford to feed and clothe them all.

So large is his brood that he freely admits he cannot remember some of his children’s names.

The first baby was born when he married the first of several wives in 1972, when he was just 16 after dropping out of school.

Since then, he has taken on more wives, paying dowries in cows and goats, and the children have been born with alarming regularity.

They now range in age from 10 to 50. The older ones have had multiple children of their own. The whole tribe, including 578 grandchildren, lives in a state of some chaos in a family compound in the village of Bugisa, in a remote area of eastern Uganda.

The compound consists of a dilapidated house with a rusty corrugated iron roof and about 20 thatched mud huts.

The family has grown to be so vast that Mr Hasahya said he can no longer afford to look after them all.

The 68-year-old has ordered his 12 wives to take contraceptive measures.

“At first it was a joke ... but now this has its problems,” he told the AFP news agency.

“With my health failing and merely two acres of land for such a huge family, two of my wives left because I could not afford the basics like food, education, clothing.

“My wives are on contraceptives but I am not. I don't expect to have more children because I have learnt from my irresponsible act of producing so many children that I can't look after [them].”

Mr Hasahya, who made money from rearing cattle, revels in a certain celebrity status in the region.

His urge to reproduce came as a young man when his only sibling, a brother, advised him to marry “many wives” and ensure that the family expanded. He appears to have taken on the challenge with the utmost dedication.

“How can a man be satisfied with one woman? That is a sign of being born a man but with female hormones,” he told The Daily Monitor, a Ugandan newspaper, in a recent interview.

“All my wives … live together in the same house. It’s easy for me to monitor them and also stop them from eloping with other men in the village.”

I'm especially keen on that last bit, which seems to make total sense re eloping.

The underlined bit is equally as interesting, assuming we came from the ape family network, we seem to have digressed somewhat through this institution called Marriage and monogamy, good to see he's keeping up old traditions.

You still owe me those goats!

Just when I thought you knew your crisps , Roast Beef for me easy.

[Sara]

Spicy.

I forgot to check them out when we were in Tesco yesterday.

I don't generally eat crisps, but the Roast Beef and Horseradish flavour seems very appetising.

[Chilli D]

My favourites were Branston Pickle Mini Cheddars but they discontinued them last year.

You won’t be disappointed, very strong which is what I like.

Think I’ll try one of the other flavours too next time.

[Jaydog]

Do you lot only eat crisps. “What’s for tea tonight darling. Crisps. Oooh yum yum”.

[Jaydog]

I know it’s probably deeply unpopular with the MOT crisp aficionados but I do love a vegetable crisp. The best ones are very surprisingly from Aldi. You have to ask the fat people to move out the way first. They tend to congregate in the crisp aisle

[Kennyb41]

You was never expecting full payment for her.

Gotta laugh at this bit...

What a great way to describe the daily grind, can only imagine....

And we worry over franticball here, let's spare a thought for this guy
