    Home Bargains bakery section is better than Greggs, the stuff they do the same anyway.

    Sausages rolls, cookies, cheese and onion rolls are better than Greggs cheese and onion pasties ...

    P
    Thanks for that info.
    Used to work for Greggs up until December 1999.
    About 1996 I stopped eating anything from them and haven’t since. Well, at least nothing with meat in it.
    At Christmas 1996 at least 6 staff came down with food poisoning and legally we weren’t allowed to touch any food so should have been sent home but they wanted the staff to volunteer to go home so didn’t have to pay their wages which is illegal. We said no but * licking USDAW rep said we need to volunteer so basically they were complicit in breaking health and safety regulations and food safety regulations.
    The food, by the way, that was touched was sent out and sold.

    Hash browns are better than tattie scones, very controversial perhaps. Haven’t had a tattie scone in a couple of years so maybe I’ve just forgot

    Potato cakes are far better. Especially on a roll and sausage.

    @Christopher Wallace,

    TuPac just played the role. Got all tattooed up when he moved to LA and just played the Death Row headliner role.

    People forget he went to Drama School and won awards for his performances in Shakespeare plays. People forget when he shat himself and had to run for his life in Marian City city cause the locals hated him and genuinely wanted to kill him. People forget he begged to be moved jail to be beside Mike Tyson cause they were pals and TuPac was getting bullied like a punk * in the slammer. (Tyson did not get bullied obviously).

    Still love his wonderful muuuuzik however..
    .....Pain (Above the Rim Soundtrack), Troublesome 96, Hail Mary, Me and My Girlfriend, When I Get Free....eh......Still Ballin', Uppercut, St8 Ballin, Letter to the President, Made *, My Block and Brenda's Got a Baby...

    But not Hit Em Up....that was over the top and highly offensive to yourself Mr Wallace Biggie Smalls Sir.

    This is not correct.
    You should be locked in a room with Cypress Hill blaring on repeat until you start to like it......

    Then you begin to rely on it....

    Until....you cant live without it....

    ....
    and it takes over your entire life

    I've always thought if you listen to "The Dubliners - The Waterford Boys" that it's almost a kind of traditional Irish rhyming technique that's quite close to rapping in a way.
    To recite it definitely requires lyrical skill.
    It's an awesome tune

    I love going down on ma bird. I * do. I am good at it....I put in serious concentration and effort....and I think it's * wonderful

    I hit the magic button every time and she gets all moany....(but good moany)....and squirmy and body shaking....and once again I have cracked it....literally......it's like lifting the cup at Hampden....elation.....another successful defence of my title....woo hoo!!!

    I find the whole exercise highly enjoyable and my fiance does too. I love when she digs her fingernails into the back of my head right before she shouts bingo.
    ............And it's even better when she wears the black fishnet stockings......ohhhhhh yeeaahhhhh

    American people called MacDougal who's great great great great great step uncle's second cousin was clan chief of the Clan MacDougal....who fought with wild bears...had his own haggis farm......built Edinburgh castle from scratch without a ladder....and killed 70 English by himself whilst playing the bagpipes at the same time...

    They know more about the history of my country than I do obviously...I don't know why I even debate with these people....they are right to argue about * that they know nothing about....it's me with the PHD in History that's wrong...what am I thinking?

    People who decide when it was OK to have immigration to this country....and when it's not....

    Big mad mixture of races, creeds, breeds and gene pools is this country....Pictish, Bretonic, Celtic, Roman, Saxon, Jute, Angel, Scandinavian. Norman, French, some Dutch...Jewish...black African...Indian, Irish, Italians, Poles, Pakistanis, Chinese (obviously). Eastern Europeans and folk fae Airdrie.

    That went into the big racial mix that was Scotland created by people coming from other countries. So folk now are saying that all that long historical list of immigration was fine but immigration has to stop now...cause our generation has decided.

    I think the benefit system must change to make it less attractive to immigrants. But you can't ban immigrants. People emigrate and immigrate all the time....Scottish people also emigrated every * where... to Canada, USA, Australia, NZ, South Africa...* built towns and lived in them....definite immigration (some of it definitely illegal) going on there. People in Scotland adopting the distinctly British trait of complete double standards and hypocrisy I see.
    So who's deciding the cut off date where everyone that came here before was fine...but anyone arriving since then is illegal and is getting kicked out??? Surely someone's deciding the date....cause we get to decide what is acceptable immigration and what is non acceptable immigration...so someone better draw the line...

    (Worth noting that their royal family itself originally were immigrants from Hanover in Germany....King Billy was Dutch....Robert the Bruce was a French Norman....and John Wayne was an *!!!)

    So called professionals in the study of law, lawyers, sheriffs....even High Court Judges.......who do not understand the difference between having the power to do something and having the right to do something.

    Just because judges have the power to punish someone for breaking a law......does not mean they have the right to punish them.
    You do not have to agree to or abide by every law simply because it's the law of the country you live in. The law changes constantly and can change radically and rapidly.
    If we had to obey every law without question and without any exceptions then the law wouldn't have changed 100 odd year ago whenwomen would still not be allowed to vote.....by law......It would not have changed from in the 80s when it was illegal to be in an openly homosexual relationship.....or from when it was impossible to be charged with raping your own wife. If these laws had been blindly obeyed they would still exist today.

    In simpilar terms.....Hitler killed 6 million Jews without breaking the law....why????....cause he made the law. He had the power to kill 6 million Jews but definitely did not have the right to.

    You do not have to obey or stick to any law simply on the basis that it's the law of the country. That irrelevance is neither here nor there when considering what is right and what you have the right to do. Obeying or breaking laws is, in fact completely optional.......totally optional. A mere deterrent of a possible punishment for breaching such a law should not be confused with anyone having the right to inflict such a punishment. These are totally different things. Having power does not give you rights
