    Nah, but I`ll have one ot two of your Monster Munch, as long as they`re Pickled Onion or Flammin` Hot. Don`t care much for the BBQ Beef.

    Does anyone buy anything other than pickled onion monstermunch?

    Strange people. Who'd have thought!

    I wouldn`t.

    Green flashes. High power consumption. Image retention.

    Modern LED/LCD screens beat Plasma TVs in terms of picture sharpness, power consumption. The only thing I can think of where a Plasma beats an LCD is viewing angles.
    no green flashes on the Pioneer Kuro's and there won't be image retention if run in properly

    power consumption i'll let you have - but who cares about spending an extra 75p a month??

    I`ve changed my mind.

    I`ll accept the offer of the Jaffa Cake. They are McVities, not some cheap imitation ?

    While we`re on the subject, does anyone know what shape Monster munch are supposed to be ? Most end up broke, but some look roughly like feet (with 3 or 4 toes). What`s that all about, eh ? They aren`t monster shaped, more like monster`s feet.

    They used to be one of my favourite snacks, but the top award goes to Nik Naks - Nice `n` Spicy........ now you`re talking.

    Anyone who offers me a Jaffa Cake can`t be a failure.

    Also, he only recommends Pickled Onion MM. That is not a sign of failure in my book.

    chucky, Graham offers me a Jaffa Cake, but you take the biscuit.

    Not from the Shell garage.

    But you might get a packet, and a go on the air pump.
