Napoleon Dynamite: [drinks glass of milk] The defect in that one is bleach. FFA Judge No. 1: That's right. Napoleon Dynamite: Yessssssssss. Napoleon Dynamite: [drinks second glass of milk] This tastes like the cow got into an onion patch. FFA Judge No. 2: Correct. Napoleon Dynamite: Yessssssssss.

I’d always let other people lick my ice-cream and do the same if offered, I’d use unwashed cutlery lying around the counter to save myself a walk to the drawer, and I’ve no compunction with eating food that’s fallen on the floor, within reason (**** the five-second rule). I haven’t been sick in the last five years, alcohol-induced episodes excluded. That Dettol ad where your one chases her kids around the gaf, spraying every surface they lay their hands on, absolutely disgusts me. She’ll have only herself to blame when one of them dies from a cold.

Pace2008 wrote: » I simply don't believe you. In all my travels outside the green isle, I’ve never come across milk that’s anything better than passable. The milk on the continent is outright putrid, and that’s if you’re lucky enough to find one of around 7 outlets in Europe that sells anything other than UHT. For all Ireland’s failings, it’s the only country in the world that produces decent milk and rashers.

Some is UK . But I do enjoy the cumberland sausages and the like in there. Is there any super markets that sell quality Irish veg. I am thinking our climate does not support all year around veg supply (at a good price) . TBH . I dont care where its from as long as its tasty and cheap. In these times who can afford to be fussy about origin. I will tell yas one thing. I have never seen a poor farmer;)

Canis Lupus wrote: » Whilst OT totally agree with this. I can't remember the last time I had a cold for example. It's been at least 2 years. People are absolute nutjobs about cleanliness these days and it's only due to the likes of Dettol with their marketing. Going by their adverts I'm shocked the human race managed to evolve without bleach, surface sprays and hand sanitisers/disinfectants.

I looked up the people I knew + was amazed to see them getting 35 and 40 grand in handouts. Buy the cheapest milk you can , it all comes from the same cows. Tesco + Dunnes are the same price as lidl. Other brands are a rip off. Buy tesco or Dunnes rather than lidl as at least the profit is not going to eastern european checkout operators + german owners.
