Manhattan Crisps of the Salt and Vinegar variety. I'm sure they have been about for awhile, but I have just discovered them.

It's like they never got the memo from the EU about removing all the lovely tasty (but cancer giving) E Numbered ingredients.

Absolutely Savage. Like the Mini Chips Salt & Vinegar of ye olden days.

Available in my local Spar, so possibly the rest. If you like Salt & vinegar crisps (or tasty crisps!), you'd want to try them.

eeeee

They're a great crisp. The cheese and onion is also epic. I only ever see them in pubs.

Nice one. If you like your crisps strongly flavored (and I do) check out 'Real Crips' in lidl, delish.

https://ablogaboutcrisps.blogspot.ie/ is worth a browse too!

used to be able to order them online, this old thread said it worked out 87c a bag though.

I see them in some newsagents and in a "snack basket" in work. They should really do smaller sizes in mulitpacks.

Currently counting my penny jar I started this time last year. One of those novelty ones you have to open with a can opener. Just got into a routine of emptying my pockets when I come in. I'm gonna need more bags, I was hoping for enough to upgrade from a sora group set but I'm starting to think I'm aiming a little low here.

Buying another one of these tins, you just don't miss the change if you can't see it.

ffs after I'd say 6 or 7 years without issue I've got a flair up of pilonidal cysts. Not seeking medical advice I can ask herself for that

Quite literally a pain in the arse though and no cycling for me for a bit :mad:

+1 when I was in college I got a biscuit tin, sealed it with gaffer tape and put a coin sized hole in the top. One day I opened it and it paid a months rent.

The money will help with the pain (not medical advice) :pac::pac:

Fcuking hell.
As a side note I hate that kind of bike parking thing. They're so flimsy, awkward to park in and beside other bikes and difficult to lock the bike properly into them.
They're often not even secured into the ground.
Second only to the shyte little hoops on the ground in terms of bad bike parking design.

Speaking of E numbers (few posts back): technically, vitamin C is an E number (E300), and so is riboflavin (E101), among others, so it's faintly amusing that health foods are often advertised as being "free of E numbers".

I guess you don't see E numbers on packets much anymore, because they colloquially became synonymous with "toxins permitted in foods for some reason".

To be fair, the colloquial view is not 100% unjustified.

Were The Shamen the only outliers when they claimed "Es are good" in 1992?

Yes, his friends call him 'Ezer and he is the main geezer.

Apparently, they finished a live TV performance with the line "Anyone got any underlay?"
Asked about this subsequently, they said they were hoping people would spot the rug reference.

(So says Wikipedia anyway.)

Yes, mcdonalds used to be very open about ingredients, listed e number and what they actually did (e.g. stailiser, prevents clumping etc). I see no E numbers on the UK site now.

I love some of the sensationalist crap. Watch out for those gel packs,

They included dextrose, a sugar also used by shoe makers to make leather more pliable.

:eek: can't believe idiots are actually eating that stuff! :eek:

The stuff they use to cool nuclear reactors?! This is crazy.

cycling through malahide earlier, spotted a car with hazards on, sitting at least a metre from the kerb with the door open, thought to myself 'oh you bleeding tool' - and then spotted the driver administering to (presumably) his young daughter being ill at the side of the road. some things you just have to let slide...

a little later, passing st. aidan's - beside DCU on collins avenue; good god, that's a hot mess of parents making a hames of the cycle lane and pulling out without looking, picking their darlings up from school.

I worked for 2 days with that school, thankful that the principal is top of his game, so many bikes parked up on school grounds, and kids dropped off in cars is still big issues

Just want to give a shout out for Jack Watson who has been awarded the MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours list

I appreciate these honours may not mean a great deal to many in the Republic, but Jack is one person in Ireland who fully deserves this recognition. I may have disagreed with one or two of the positions he has taken over the years, but can also say I know of no-one who has dedicated so much time and effort into Cycling across the island of Ireland. Equally I cannot imagine cycling in this country will ever again have someone so committed over such an extended period to the improvement of cycling within Ireland

The Cycling Ireland announcement, which details some of his roles within cycling, can be seen here

Only just discovered mywindsock.com (maybe everyone here knows about it and just forgot to tell me!:P). Links to your Strava activity and confirms just how brutal the headwind on your ride was!

This is mine from this morning's commute.......



(Hoping the wind direction hasn't changed for the ride home!)

I dreamt of taking 10th place in the Olimpic Time Trial on my daily commute route, and posting about this in this thread. After waking up I couldn't shake off the urge to check the comments.....

Had a pedal snap on me on my way in this morning, are the posting times from wiggle usually decent, or would I be better off going to an alternative online/b&m?

B&M if you need it urgently.

You can pay for priority delivery with CRC also.

I put an old crappy one on before while waiting for it to arrive, rather than pay a premium for fast delivery.
