    What kind of animal is a packer?
    Today, the company is remembered as the namesake of the Green Bay Packers. The football team took its name after Curly Lambeau, a shipping clerk for the company, successfully asked the company's owner, Frank Peck, for money for jerseys and use of the company's athletic field in 1919.

    About to eat two (non-frozen) pizzas that are 7 days out of date. They look ok, but we'll see if I survive.

    Why are you eating two pizzas?

    They're small, they're these really cheap Aldi things. I am pretty sure they are really bad for you and hold zero nutritional value but they taste ok when you need to eat something really quickly.

    In my college days I once watched my housemate eat two 16" pizzas in a row over the course of a couple hours. It's probably top 5 most impressive things I've seen in person in my life.

    That's fcuking seriously impressive!! I used to get a 12 inch pizza meal deal in Oz back in the day and I would struggle to polish that, the wedges and the litre of coke away.

    Pizza Hut were doing a special of a large pizza for €7.50 delivered last year before 6pm. Missus was away so I called up and ordered one. Apparently minimum delivery order is €10. So I ordered two.

    Don't think I could get off the couch for 5 hours.

    Oh I can cook. But when she's gone I can eat like a pig from takeaways with no looks of disgust.

    Surely at your age takeaway hangovers are a thing?

    I'm 33 years young, whippersnapper.

    Yup, if I go on a junk food binge I feel rank the next day. Pizzas are grand, normally, but a greasy chinese with all the salt and MSG will leave me feeling a touch manky the next day.

    You don't have to eat them both you know. I'm sure they have fridges on the north side.

    I once ate 2 16 ounce blue fillet steaks.

    Two days later I ended up in hospital with what appeared to be appendicitis but turned put to be a massive kidney infection caused by eating two pounds of almost raw meat

    Argument here...

    I'm not a European and I don't feel European. We're all different people in different countries. Stop trying to lump us all in together. I have very little in common with an average German lad no more than an American or South African fellow.

    I feel like a member of my family more than a member of my community. But I feel more like a member of my community than I do a member of my county. But I still feel more like a member of my county than I do a member of my country and I definitely feel more like a member of my country than I do a member of this continent.

    I don't have to have something in common with a random German or Spaniard, but that doesn't mean I can't form a community with them to improve all our lives and if that means we from time to time refer to ourselves as European then fine. I was a Leinster supporter last week and I'm going to be an Ireland supporter in three weeks time. I'll be a Lions supporter in 6 months time. Go Unity!
