The Round

[jack]

Is it sensible to keep some pot noodles at work? I do end up staying at work sometimes, and it's better to have something reasonably like food, rather than having some crisps.

But for the first time, I went along to the Round. It was fun. I hadn't realised how much I'd missed having some physical musical activity. I did all the dances ok, and sensibly considered mods to two dances.

I'm still a bit shy at meeting large crowds of people I don't know, but Sally and Susan and Matthew and Rachel were lovely as always, and lots of organised girls and bearded or exuberent men I recognised from ceilidhs.

It is never sensible to keep pot noodles, anywhere, ever, for any reason.

I nearly said that myself. :-)

Is it that bad?

Last time I tried eating pot noodle was on a scout boat trip. They were so horrible we poured them into the river for the fish to have. I don't recall what we ate instead, if at all.

The Environment Agency will come after you at night if you do that sort of thing these days.

They explode pleasingly if you soak them in liquid oxygen and then ignite them.

Doesn't everything?[1]

[1] OK, ok, not *everything*. Oxygen doesn't. Nuetronium doesn't for suitably precise values of 'if'. Everything metabolisable.

More so than other foods? Small particle size, yes?

for any reason.

I don't know about that. I was on a ship in the middle of the North Sea for several days a couple of years ago, and took some variants on pot noodle* then, and it was extremely useful that I had done so, because my alternative for evening meals was to spend 20 pounds on a cold salad.

*ie they were instant food approximations that only required hot water

What's that? It was catered, but only with salad? Or only the salad was vegetarian?

[beckyc.livejournal.com]

It was a buffet and only the salad was vegetarian.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Ah, that does suck! Normally buffets seem better, because they often have good side dishes which can be combined into a nice meal.

Between the pot noodle and the deep blue sea? How inconvenient.
