Cravings for Pringles Crisps

How did they collect so many? I suppose it is cold there

Sausages are intrinsically funny it’s true. Even the word. I just thought of a song that made me laugh when I was a child. It ended with the lyric ‘a flying sausage hit a crow, in the good old town of Belfast’ and I’d be laughing like a drain at that. The flying sausage in the Grange Hill title sequence was a joy too. 

For your height, it’s exactly the midpoint (ideal) BMI. I know this without checking as I’m an inch less than you and when I was 10 stone 7 I was also at optimum recommended BMI. I hope to get back there and I am making slow progress (half a stone lost in the last few months) but I’m some way off just now. 11 stone 12. Anti anxiety meds may have saved me at one stage when I most needed them, but they wrecked my already slow metabolism for good 

Oh I do like pringles. I like the cheese pringles. Great post btw 

Plead the fifth amendment!

Oh. My. Goodness! I am saying absolutely nothing now. I just daren't risk it.

I think you may be digging a deeper hole.

That would make more sense, and is nearly as ridiculous a mental picture. I still like the pinned image though, maybe it reminds me of those little sausages on cocktail stick? Maybe he dries them first, though that would make them shrivelled...

Speaking of male members though, I wonder if his collection might look similar to the penis museum in Iceland? That does add another, if gruesome, layer to the humour. I don't think that was ever a part of why I find it so funny though, I think it is more simply the silliness, and the word sausages is also intrinsically amusing, and I was an innocent child when I first came across the joke.

You sound just like me. I can quite easily get through a family-sized (24 packets?) multi-pack within a couple of days. I don't buy them often, but when I know they are in the house, it's just too easy to grab another packet when I'm feeling peckish. 

For years I could never understand why Cheese & Onion were deemed more popular than Salt & Vinegar. However, my tastes have changed as I've gotten older, so I no longer eat Salt & Vinegar crisps as often as I used to.

Might be better to imagine jars of preserved sausages instead, otherwise I fear those sausages pinned to boards would decay, resulting in an unimpressive collection. 

I sincerely hope no male members read what I've just stated, otherwise I fear they might be wincing if interpreted in a different way.

Have you thought of going to a help group? You could discuss wether you are still using or get a badge if you are staying clean. If you need a shoulder to lean on, I’m here my friend, we will kick this habit together. Stay strong, don’t give in to the smell of the prawn cocktail flavour. It’s autistic cat nip.

Crisps are like heroin and when I buy them I can't just look at them, I have to eat the lot, the whole packet, and I mean the whole six pack in one day.

My favourite brands are Seabrook, McCoy's and Aldi. I love cheese and onion and beef, barbeques, paprika.  In my childhood I loved salt and vinegar, but now I can't stand their smell.

I need help, is there a rehab clinic for crisp addicts?

Ed Pratt? Somewhat unfortunate surname. For years, the now ex-partner of a neighbour had refused to marry him because she didn't want to be known as a Pratt. 

That reminds me of one of my all time favourite jokes which always makes me chuckle:

Patient: Doctor, doctor, my family thinks I'm mad.

Doctor: And why is that?

P: Because I like sausages.

Dr: But I like sausages too.

P: You do? You must come and see my collection - I have thousands!

I like to imagine the chap proudly showing off drawer after drawer of various different sausages all carefully pinned to boards and labelled, like those Victorian collections of butterflies!

Now I'm imagining you look like the guy on youtube who unicycled around the world! He's called Ed Pratt if you want to look him up. 

I can't see how having two adults living under the same roof is considered more of a hassle with regard to meals. It's only one more adult than you. Not like I've got 12 adult offsprings who all want to eat different things, and there's a lengthy queue for the microwave, or squabbles because nobody can agree whether to order pizza from JustEat, Fish & Chips, or an Indian (food, not an Indian person willing to teach me Bollywood dance moves). 

You have the excuse/reason that you've all the hassle of family meals, so having processed food is very understandable; whereas I  only have *me*.  

There's an NHS bmi calculator on the internet. You enter your height and weight, gender and age, and level of activity per week, and you can find out if your BMI is deemed healthy. I think you're possibly within the healthy range.

Your 'diet' sounds considerably healthier than mine... Not enough veg (or fruit) and far too much processed food.
