the life of me, by me
Hehe, not quite what you may be expecting, but it’s just been brought to my attention that there is a Gaylord Indian Restaurant in Manchester Spring Gardens!! This is awesome news, and I must visit ASAP! I went to a Gaylord in London, back in July 2007 with Jon Butler and it was great!
Sucks. Why would you make a perfectly good load of bread then make the top crust feel like it’s been sat on the shelf for a week or two. It’s horrible and a sure-fire way to ruin a good buttie. I’m going to bed. Unsatisfied.
On my way out today, and decided to check my post.. A rare occasion, but it happens now and then.. Low and behold, I have mail! I unlock the postbox and grab the post; “2 letters for me! Result” I let out! But the best was yet to come…. I flicked through the letters to see the second on bore a stamp… But not just any stamp, the stamp of the snack-giants themselves… Heinz! I opened it with haste….

Unfortunately, It’s not a hamper, but a √Ǭ£2 voucher for Heinz products will do me nicely, especially since I only paid like 50p for the tin of beans! Kinda wish the paper had been bean-printed, as opposed to plain white paper.. Bit boring to be honest.. I also gave Heinz a link to my previous article and invited them to comment, but nothing. 
Anyways, thanks very much Heinz! You’ve fully redeemed yourself, and I look forward to enjoying √Ǭ£2 worth of Heinz goodness!
If you read my post entitled the subway riddler you’ll know where I’m coming from with this one… I went to Starbucks the other day, and ordered my usual:
To which the woman replied “You don’t need to ask for the cream, you get that anyway”.. As it so happens, later this day I went back to Starbucks, and indeed, ordered the same drink.. Only this time, I decided to omit my usual request for Whipped Cream.
Yes, that’s right, it happened. The guy said “would you like whipped cream on that?”. I would’ve been surprised had I not been completely expecting it. I think maybe part of the training process at these places is to never let the customer place an order without having to come out on top, with some little comment. you bastards
Starving!
That was me, when I got in today.. So I made some food. “I’ll have two tins of beans” I thought. However, this plan was soon cut short. Not by the lack of Beans, no.. Beans were plentiful (so long as I didn’t want more than 2 tins!), so I empty the first can into the pan, and what is this?! Black beans?! I don’t know what you’ve done to my beans Heinz, but they are not cool! That’s right, This is not cool beans and This is not a drill!
I had to settle for 1 tin of beans after this! It went OK, I made a mountain out of the 6 slices of toast that accompanied and made the beans stretch.. Would’ve been better as a 2×8 meal! (thats beans by toast :P).. Heinz will be recieving a letter in regards to unedable beans though, so hopefully i’ll get some kind of wicked free-beans-hamper! I’ll keep you updated
