UK or England thread?

I watched most of the game but missed the first 15 minutes so can't help there

I'm thinking they must have done.

Maybe it's like when - hopefully in the distant future from now - Dalglish dies, I assume the coverage will be about Liverpool rather than about us.

One thing I do think is ridiculous is people saying the friendship between him and Greig wouldn't happen today. There is very little reason why Sinclair and Defoe can't be friends. If they're (deliberately) not friends then that's pathetic.

It's maybe more true online but that's why I stick to Reddit rather than Twitter. That's fans who stick to 'bubbles' on Twitter. Not players.

Everyone seems stupid on Twitter not just Scottish football but worldwide politics. I don't know why it lends itself to it but there's a great deal of 'bubbles' and people pushing more and more extreme views.

Most of my friends growing up supported Rangers and I had a good gang of mates.

My brother's in-laws live in Ibrox. He goes to Rangers games when he goes to visit them.

...Thank you to the question-snswerers.
What American snacks, generic name or brand name, are Snack-a-Jacks comparable to?

Nope....can't deal with vinegar at all!

I love vinegar. I love vinegar anything My dad used to steal my chips so I put more and more vinegar on them so he'd stop. Helps that I initially liked them to begin with - when I was little I was obsessed with silverskin onions.

Then again...I can't deal with the taste of coffee, either...…..

I must have a funny palate

Do they still package fish-n-chips in newspaper where you are?

Kraftie, I'm the same with that one. In fact there's a funny/embarrassing story about me accidentally eating wet coffee beans (not regular coffee, like damp coffee beans) on the 'why are you upset today' thread which goes to show how much I think it's bitter and gross...

No, because of 'ink poisoning'. It's a shame. I don't know how true it is that you can get ink poisoning from it. I used to like reading the old papers/the papers I'd never usually buy.

Fish and chips in newspaper was generally for eating at home anyway, they still have them in polystyrene trays for eating out. I have synaesthesia where I feel cold if I hear polystyrene. For my NT cousin, it makes her feel sick when she hears it.

Not sure. Snack-a-jacks are rice cakes, round and just short of 2 inches in diameter. They come in packets rather like potato chips and have flavours of salt and vinegar, sweet chilli, cream cheese and chives, and caramel. I only ever eat the salt and vinegar and I'm totally addicted. Sweet chilli is also nice but the cream cheese is disgusting. If I don't have at least one packet a day I am very unhappy. I like the texture more than potato-based stuff.

Just checked... they're made by Walkers in the UK... don't think you can get them in the US

Boycotting Walkers is really hard…

(Yes I know I'm being ridiculous but I can be stubborn sometimes.)

Are we supposed to boycott Walkers?
Bugger... couldn't exist without my Snack-a-Jacks.

Nah it's just a personal thing. Long, football related, convoluted story.

I'd been doing ok til Snack-A-Jacks.

They also own Monster Munch, it turns out.

Think Smiths are ok though?

I think you are only supposed to Boycott Walkers if you are UKIP or hate Brexit because they want Gary Lineker sacked for his views.

Just as well... I've just gobbed another packet since my previous post.

Or hate Leicester...

In case anyone thinks it's political, it really isn't.

And of course I hate UKIP.

I hate Leicester... they nicked Richard III's skeleton and buried it there rather than returning it to York.
