matty40s Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) I rely on my mum for fantastic marmalade made in Winter every year. Aldi have introduced customer decipherable date coding to fresh fruit and veg in the last two weeks. Edited February 10, 2017 by matty40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Tinned marmalade in the RN was rather good. As was the processed cheese. Ships biscuits from a tin were good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotEver Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Not my original, I'm afraid. Master & Commander was where I first heard it. "One should always bet on the lesser of two weevils" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machpoint005 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Master & Commander was where I first heard it. "One should always bet on the lesser of two weevils" Yes, Russell Crowe says it in the film, but it actually appears in a different Aubrey/Maturin book (HMS Surprise, from memory). Maturin comes up with another one when he explains why the dog watches are so called. Edited February 10, 2017 by Machpoint005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
