Back to chips.
Dipping your fast food chips in your milkshake (chocolate or vanilla) is very nice.
Also mayo on chips is better than ketchup.

If you're in an Indian restaurant, it won't be on the menu, but ask if they can make a peshwari paratha. Life will never be the same. Feels like forever ago since I ate at an Indian restaurant.

Never heard of disc chips. Sounds like you're talking about poutine. Except any Canadian worth a moose's guff goes absolutely mad when someone British dares to call it poutine when they're using mozzarella. It's gotta be the curds. Proper. I was very sceptical about poutine. Chips and gravy, yes. C...

Just wow.
Elliot Mellor's octorun record is serious in jeopardy of being overtaken by 300 or more.
I don't think he'll be scoring over 1300.

I think that should have said 30 although probably closer to a hundred after todays performance

he has a touch of the Kirk Bevins about him.
By which I mean he can seem a little smug about his genius although I'm sure like Kirk a thoroughly nice chap

I saw on tv recently someone making Disc chips.
Basically chips and gravy with mozzarella cooked in the oven.
Sounds awful but suitable for vegetarians as most gravy granules contain no meat

I think anyone who votes for time travel has to explain how their version of it would avoid paradoxes.

Im not sure about paradoxes per se but it can only genuinely happen if there is a multiverse
I will accept the multiverse consequences.
