View Full Version : Spam marathons
God these threads are entirely pointless and a complete waste of bandwith. Why do people bother?

Boredom plays a big part. I mean what are you doing at the moment?
Watchin' the game, having a Bud etc. What elses is there to do?

Have you ever tried using Tesco value kitchen towel. If you used this instead of bounty, it will take far far longer and reduce boredom.
spam the rant forum apparently.
Funny you should mention that iggy ;)
So far as kitchen towel Danny:
I would concur with the theory that the lower priced product, although technically inferior and capable of a lesser service, would indeed illeviate boredom levels for a longer time. But would the increased frustration of constantly tearing sheets when applied to wet applications be worth it?

I suppose if you are cleaning up last nights curry, Forthy, it could get quite messy. Tearing of the towel often lets the hand vunerable to the crap you are cleaning up. So I'd say use tesco value for everything but curry, for that use bounty. Although I'm sure there are others also to use Bounty on too...
A valid addition to the pot by all accounts great mate. But this variety of kitchen towel based tom-foolery would in all cause a person to require 2, yes 2 kitchen roll holders. Each labeled appropraiately for the type of spillage with which it would have to deal - a thought for another day. Although this could potentially cause a rift in the domestic cleansing economy as people purchase different products based on spillage need. Could this be the end to third world debt?

If third worlds make Bounty then I belive it could. Also if third worlds developed this "twin kitchen roll holder", they would surely be quids in?
Jeeezzz, if your gonna spam then at least spam about something interesting. Did I tell you about my week in Thailand last month:D:D:D:D
/edit.....maybe needs something more private:D
The thought of a thousand 80's popstars taking to the stage and singing:
"Feed the world, let them know which kitchen towel is best"
brings a tear to my eye, and a humanitarian warth to my heart. But what would happen to the countless oxfam stores if the third world were to prosper? Is the lack of thirs-world kitchen towel manufacture in fact the only mechanism in place for control of such places?

Kitchen towel is interesting when mixed with alcohol. If a little wet.

Oxfam would surely take the profit and give it to the staff whom are starving because they dont get paid. This would encourage young staff to work there and would then turn Oxfam into a trendy clothes store for hip youngsters with kids wearing 70's disco clothes.
Hopefully the lack of the "twin kitchen towel holder" will stay this way as I dont want to see people walking round in their old 70s clothes (obviosly too small for them now) trying to be "hip".

Sheep would be shaven for clothing. And this would mean you had a bald sheep named Beejam. But does you lot not think bald sheep are ugly?
Jesus yes! - Sheep are ugly fully clothed, let alone when trimmed for the manufacture of a x-mas sweater! In reality all this would make for a bizarre world in which sheep froze to death, and were bizarrely named after supermarkets that no longer exist :eek:
Do they make spam out of sheep?
i dunno what they make spam out of, but it sure as hell isnt any kind identifiable meat

Spam is made of any offcuts of animal they find on the floor stuck together with ectoplasm. This sounds spooky, but unfourtunately it is true. Spam is ghostly at the best of times and now we know why.
From now on I would stay away from Spam if I were you...
Ah, that explains the hullucinations!
By the same logic, can one trust the average donner kebab vendor not to include a spam-mix on his spit?
nah
donner kebabs are made from roadkill and nuclear incident victims.
ive see the biohazard bags to prove it :eek:

Roadkill tastes nice fresh. Cook it on the engine and wahey you have a lovely meal for all...
Im still looking for a nice sauce to go with this recipe though...
That reminds me! - why do people ignore the words "once opened keep refrigerated" on the side of Ketchup bottles? Ketchup is NICEST cold - it's like beer :D
danielctull

We keep our ketchup in the cupboard. Cold kechup is nicer though... I got my way for like a week beofre it ran out and the new bottle went in the cupboard.
Is tecso value better than heinz? Thats the real question here...
Is Tesco value merely Heinz with a different Jacket on? I mean, call me suspicious but... ;)
Personally I think Heinz make the best Ketchup. All the others are too vinegary for me - or is that the appeal??
well, heres a thought. all the big supermarkets dont make their value ranges by themselves. so who does?
do kelloggs make asda's ubercheap crunhy pop things?
do cadbury makes sainsburies own brand chocolate bars?
is george bush stupid?
danielctull

I have always been led to believe that tesco and such just use heinz's stuff and repackage it to suit their own needs.
Just another case of repackaging in this world of unoriginality... :rolleyes:

Yes Yes and Yes.
If you read this, please dont kill me Mr Bush.
I'm gonna hane to disagree on the breakfast cereal. There's no way a kellogs cereal would go that soggy that quickly :o
As for the others, how do you think they work it? Make a load of bags and then box half with their own brand, and half with the shops? Does the manufacturer box them or ship them out in the bags, then they get boxed by the shop?
danielctull

I would think that the supermarkets get all the crap ones. Either that or kellogs/heinz make bad ones on purpose to make their own brand look and be better.
I believe its more than just changing the packaging on the items...
must be - maybe that's why the supermarket cereals go so soggy so quick. They fail the soggy test, they go in a tesco packet :D :D
Why do so many things change their names? IE Marathon > snickers, Jif > Cif etc
cos of weak assed advertising gits that cave in to the pressure of the capitalist foreign (probably french) pigs, who stupidly name the same product differently on the continent.
You have to go further than the continent for that reason (- across the pond you know;) )
i didnt think they liked the french in the states?
Although they did name chips after them ;)
Oh well, since this is the spam thread, did you know that the French call a French Letter, an "English overcoat"?

Letter as in post letter or letter as in a letter in a word?

Did you know that a co.ckroach with its head cut off can survive for 7-9 days (until it dies of starvation) and actually 'learns' faster than a whole co.ckroach (because the body contains a nerve plexus which takes over).
;)
yes.
but did you know that i knew?
and if so, did you know that id know that you knew that i knew?

Yes, but how did they know? (About the co.ckroach that is)
After all, they couldn't ask it since it no longer had a head nad besides it wouldn't know who was addressing it without ears!
It seems simple to me that this is a scientific conspiracy designed to convince the rest of us that scientists can talk to the animals!!
I'm sure however, that Dr. Doolittle didn't cut their heads off first?
He'd of needed a hand doing the push-me-pull-you's :D
