How the Boo Radleys went from butterfly McQueen and Lazarus to Wake Up Boo. What's all that about?

When you get a multipack of crisps, dive in and they've put all the same flavour at one end (the top end obvs, opening the bottom end of a packet of anything makes you die)

Also, not a great fan of Salt 'n' Vinegar. They're always in a multipack which i can tolerate due to even distribution, but why is then a large pack of individual same flavour packs more often than not Ready salted or Salt n vinegar? 

They're the most rubbish. Get with the Cheese and Onion big packs ffs!

It's the 2nd week of May and I had to put the heating on this morning. Yes, I had a jumper on. I know I'm getting older but, bloody hell, can someone switch summer on please?

I was watching Amandaland last night and in the second episode a character picks up a tool to dismantle a shed, and proudly states that he has an impact gun. 

It was a combi-drill.

Livid 😡

If you're anywhere close to Suffolk, is there some way we can arrange an S&V for C&O exchange?

It might just be me but, "I buy a multi-pack of crisps when I don't like half the flavours" isn't really a problem which is outside your control.  Buy a six-pack each of C&O and salted, job jobbed.

TBH I'd be far more cross about spending all that money to buy 18 crisps and a shitload of nitrogen and packaging.  Get a 'sharing' bag, a small bowl and some of those food bag clips.

If he doesn't like half the flavours, he's going to be really annoyed with all the different colours of those food bag clips

This is possibly more for a "Stuff that makes you disproportionately odd" thread, but I leave a multi-pack in my desk at work.  I allow myself 1 bag a day, but I also know I have shite will-power where crisps are concerned, so I have 1 bag I like, and then when my willpower inevitably fails (a nano-second after binning the bag) I permit myself a 2nd bag but it has to be of a flavour I like less.

Perfectly normal behaviour, I'm sure you'll agree...

See the willpower comment.  Knowing a crisp packet was open just waiting to be rummaged in means it wouldn't last the day.

B&M do grey ones (according to the Google search where I got that image from).  Much cheaper, too.

Which is exactly why I said

... a small bowl

If I sit there with a catering sack of crisps next to me, I will trough the lot.  So I decant a handful into a bowl, then if I want more I have to put in a small amount of effort to go get a refill from the kitchen.  This is usually sufficient dissuasion for me to go "actually, I can't be arsed."

I explained in my post, but C&O is underrepresented in the 6 pack of one flavour crisps world. It is in many of the crisps I like anyway 

Take Discos for example. The multipack gets you Cheese and Onion, Salt n Vinegar and Prawn Cocktail. 

Having sampled each flavour, should you wish to purchase a 6 pack of either Cheese and Onion or Prawn Cocktail, you will be sadly disappointed. They don't exist. Not in my yard anyway. 

Only Salt and Vinegar Discos can be obtained as far as I know. 

Don't tar me with the same crisp man.

The mere existence of prawn cocktail snacks of any kind makes me dc

Whilst I acknowledge your argument, it's still going into Room 101 because who buys multipacks anyway.  It's the single least cost-effective way of buying crisps, and if you're going to tell me you only eat one bag in a session I'm going to be sceptical.

Ooh, "Room 101" could make for a great thread.  Let me give that some thought.
