Us in the west of Scotland get them sometimes. The finest export from Nrn Irn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why, but I thought I'd look up the name 'Fizzgig'. I now know, or think I know, that I should already have been aware of the film 'The Dark Crystal'. However, I was not, and that's that. Mind you, had it not been for my 'investigations' into the name 'Fizzgig' I would not have seen the photo ( see below) that reminded me that I need to get some Mr Muscle Window & Glass Cleaner for my favourite mirror in the house. Yes, this is indeed the little fella that Fizzgig is named after! It's an amazing film. I would recommend watching it after a bit of a smoke (or something stronger) 🙂 Edited October 1, 2020 by Sasperella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us in the west of Scotland get them sometimes. The finest export from Nrn Irn Just to let you know that your crisps are made by Tayto (Northern Ireland), whereas Tayto Crisps sold in Southern Ireland are made by Tayto (Republic of Ireland). These are two separate companies. And if that wasn't boring enough for you, here's another bit of information - It was Tayto Crisps in Southern Ireland that invented the first flavoured crisp production process. The first two seasoned crisps produced were Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar. I'll go now. My work here is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only exception to this that I can currently think of is that I have watched at least one of the Star Wars films, which do have such furry creatures in them.

I was brought up in an area in the west of Scotland where crisp flavours were trialed to see how popular they might become. I remember the god awful chocolate flavour .

Seriously it can surely be a good thing, owners with a firm grasp on the UK way of thinking re work conditions etc. Also investing in a supermarket chain is probably seen as a safe investment in these unusual and troubled times.

I haven't seen that film, but have heard of it. I haven't actually seen any film at the cinema or on tv for at least 8 years. I haven't read a book in that time either, as it happens.

oneeye Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Advance birthday present from Mrs oneeyeFriday night sorted 😎👍 A youthful (in mind) 56 tomorrow. Strange feeling really as I always associate my birthday with ticket day build up. Anyhow, if you ever find yourself down in the Plymouth area, the Gin factory tour is worth a start to your day; the Barbican area lends itself to a messy afternoon.

Funnily enough, my cat is named Gizmo (bit of a theme here). Well, her official name is Queen Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard but Gizmo is what we call her anyway...
