Addiction is a terrible thing. I had a mate who became addicted to brake fluid. When i challenged him on using it he said he can stop anytime!!
Cant think of anymore but heres Tommy Coopers- I went to the doctors with a jelly stuck in one ear and custard in the other. The doctor asked, 'what seems to be the problem?' I said 'you have to speak up, I'm a trifle deaf.'
Chazz - this is a trifle thread - any more attempts at deviation or trivialisation could well see you banned from our board.
A mate of mine was addicted to Nitrous Oxide. He thought it was funny, but it was no laughing matter.
Actually Fosse, unsurprisingly, I do have a rather interesting recipe for a trifle that I saw in a book the other day. I'll see if I can source it for you when I'm back home to my computer.
"So I went down my local Asda, and said 'I want to buy all the ingredients for a trifle'. He said Hundreds & thousands?' I said 'We'll start with one.'
Not satisfied he went for a second opinion - "What are the symptoms?" said the doc - "An American cartoon family" he replied.
I've made a right tit of myself. Turns out it was heroin not trifle. I look a bit if a ninny now but I suppose it was an easy enough mistake to make.
I went to see the Paul Weller Movement around '93 I would guess. I'd have rather watched one of his bowel movements, whether that be due to him consuming too much trifle or not I care not. It was cack apart from a solo acoustic version of That's Entertainment which will quite possibly stay with me until the day I die. FACT.
I've seen Weller many times, he's autographed one of my Lambretta's and I've had a night out with his band in Muswell Hill(which was very messy). Now seems a good time to introduce this... [video=youtube;xlYMAGL6ndc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlYMAGL6ndc&feature=related[/video]
I used to the love The Jam - awsome anger .. wonderful lyrics ... who else could have come up with a tittle like 'Down in the tube station eating trifle' ...
