Don't use the finger grater thing that gives added knuckle skin with your cheese :eek:
But yes Anon that cheese is a little stiff and rubbery compared to home grated cheese
I'm sure someone on here said they don't buy grated cheese because it has a coating.

Quite right zagubov... nice oldie. I like that Superman song - one of my favs.:T Before, years and years later, I went crazy and off my own way:rotfl::rotfl::j.
Saw her live must be about 20 years ago. and saw her hubby Lou Reed a few years later.
One of the coolest sounds but with the dodgiest lyrics.

I don't get that and it's especially annoying if it's a Lilly Allen song. I had to switch her off on the way to tesco tonight. Lilly Allen in your head and hand scanners, not a good combo.
Actually in theory I could blame her for my coke oversight tonight:rotfl::rotfl:
That's exactly the reason why I was eventually forced not to be able to continue listening. It was the odd few songs at first, then a lot more and, over time, it then developed into the whole flamin' lot of them:rotfl:. Wasn't funny at the time - seriously caused a sensory problem to me. Don't worry FC - no need to input on this and to be fair I'd rather avoid the issue. They're called 'earworms' and there's a researcher at Goldsmiths(?) University looking at this, were doing it in conjunction with 6Music. (To which I never listened in playlist hours - gooor.. that Streets songs, Dry Your Eyes, that was my most detested song at the time it was out... and it was on the playlists of Radio 2, 1, 6Music and 1Xtra. Others I disliked were just on Radio 2 playlist. Or just on Radio 1. But that one....arggh!! And when the same artist had done previous material that got overlooked...):( They just shove the most boring, ditchwater stuff down your... Anyway, I'll stop me getting into my trenchant criticism that I have on these sort of bugbear subjects:rotfl:.0 -

Nah, I'm only joking:rotfl::rotfl:.
Just what I've never been able to fathom out (despite my mind) is how my taste happens to be everything except what they playlist and every one of the (admittedly few) songs in the Top 40 except the ones they've decided to play in daytime outside of that. Until they changed it all entirely and got rid of everything to my taste.
Year 2007, I was at about chart number 60. About three years ago, I was at number 124 highest position. And nothing else that had ever been higher up or had been in the charts for absolute weeks and weeks and months. I don't think I feature at all even in the top 200 now. Bit of a shame, but hey ho...:)
Sounds to me like the chart numbers and positions are actually what you like about it. Which is normal for you?
This is very reminiscent to me of DS2 and the way he is when a new channel is added to the sky menu and all the channels change numbers into a different order. He has been following the sky menu since he was a toddler......pre HD menu, which was a major change to the way it was presented ( a second layer was added)
And yes he will watch a programme on any given channel if it moves....I don't know why? Maybe because it's different or it has changed?0 -

That's a nice, alright song. Not sure what clubs you go to (... I suspect all of mine have closed down after they were unable to get the music they played onto the radio much, or otherwise have changed their own music to play what's being played on the mass media.. anyway bugbear:o:rotfl:), but to me nice slow down end-of-club (not that I ever went out to any clubs:o:o:o:rotfl:;):() is ambient electronica.0
