Firebox run by Counterfire: Champagne socialism.

[DotCommunist]

my researches today have ascertained that the toothpaste of the party must be Arm and Hammer. because:

it is often claimed, incorrectly, that the brand name originated with tycoon Armand Hammer, who owned a considerable amount of Church and Dwight stock in the 1980s and served on its board of directors. In fact, Hammer was named after the "Arm and Hammer" symbol of the Socialist Labor Party of America (SLP), in which his father, a committed socialist, had a leadership role at one time.

I know that I was just acting the fool but some of these puns are borderline offensive they're so bad!

If they're bad, surely you'd be in favour of them?

1. Can someone who knows about food explain this. It looks like a large mark up to me. Even in desperate recession times it is possible to get a high-quality brand loaf for £1 and a dozen mushy bananas for 70p.
Is this a special dish?

Mashed Banana on toast £2.50

John Rees might know I suppose.
That's what this nonsense does - I see him as a cafe owner now as a result of this thread.

Lots of our food is made fresh in our tiny service area and we don’t believe in Starbucks type flat pack menus- so when we run out we run out.

Aren't flat pack menus the way forward? McDonald's, in its capitalist role is dreadful, but its technological model must be one way for the future: the socialisation of food production and the elimination of cooking housework.

 

[DotCommunist]

what kind of person has mashed bannana on toast anyway

 

[JHE]

Mashed Banana on toast £2.50

...sounds like the ultimate in 'nursery food'. They could have called it 'mashed nana'. Still, it does sound quite nice. I think I might try it.

 

[DotCommunist]

I could see it working iff you sprinkled som sugar on top then grilled it, giving a nice caramelised topping to some hearty bread.

its still the sort of thing I'd cook pissed at 3 am and never serve up to paying customers

 

[rekil]

I'd bring my own banana.

I had a look through the list of former Varsity editors. It appears - and this may come as a shock to some of you - that they tend to do pretty well.

2007 editor Hermione Buckland-Hoby is now at the Observer.

...and yet stuck with 'Hermione'

You have a point.

She is a critic for the Guardian's Music Reviews section:

Olly Murs - Brilliant!

The lyric "got ketchup on my trousers and my cheeks are going red" is enough to prompt corresponding blushes of embarrassment in the listener.

Bowie - Super Brilliant!

He is a man for whom hyperbole is valid. The Next Day – his 24th studio album and first in a decade - will be released on 12 March. Meanwhile, perhaps the world will grant him a timely birthday present in a number one chart entry for Where Are We Now?

Journalism will win.

Would you pay £2.50 for a slice?

Anyway the nonreason for this post is reviewer of Firebox, Patrick Kingsley describing himself as one of the

Most seats are now booked but we have a few left so booking now essential. Order tickets here via Eventbrite:
http://marx101-efbevent.eventbrite.com

So Firebox Marx 101's concluding, critical topic is... wait for it... Lenin's Left-wing communism an infantile disorder and not Marx

"Marx 101" - it's like these dicks want to be an escapist trendy university with ethnic food.
