Not that I want to be insulting towards my Polish neighbours, but...

I can't help but be amused that the packet of Paluszki (salt-stick thingies) that I bought in Tesco this morning (we have a significant Polish community in the Roath area of Cardiff, it appears) are labeled as 'Legendarny Smak'! *chuckles*

Obviously this translates to 'Legendary Snack', but the linguist (and the daft little girl) in me is quietly sniggering at this.

Addictive stuff, as well :-)

Yeah, I'll take some smak. ;-)

*beckons Ray closer with a shifty look left and right*

I got some good stuff right here, yo.

*opens her jacket to partially reveal the bag of salt sticks*

You interested?

*eyes the Polish treats*

"Ya gotta ask? Hell yeah, I'm interested."

*grins and holds out the open bag*

They're addictive, mind. Plus you'll have one hell of a thirst after a couple of these babies.

*snags one and munches*

Addiction's no problem. M'only gunna have one.

*munches some more, eyes the bag, takes another*

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah, that's what they all say. *grins*

*slaps Ray's hand as he moves to take a handful*

Oi, leave some for me!

*jerks hand back*

One more.

Do I have to do some kind of intervention here?

Or buy you a bag of your own? ;-)

[not-vecchio.livejournal.com]

I'm down with a bag of my own. *nods sagely*

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

*wry grin* Why does that not surprise me?

*drags Ray in the direction of the appropriate Tesco.*

You'll need a bottle or two of water as well - the Brecon Carreg's the best.

[not-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Right.

*starts to wander off, stops and looks over his shoulder*

You don't know by any chance if they sell M&Ms, do ya?

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

*grins* Regular, peanut or crispy?

If you want the ones Fraser slips into your coffee for you? You need to get the Smarties instead.

[not-vecchio.livejournal.com]

We'll go with crispy for a change.

*winks*

Either one works. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'doctoring your coffee', don't it?

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

Sure - just don't put those ones in the coffee. Trust me on this.

*grabs a blue bag of M&Ms, and a tube of Smarties for good measure*

That it certainly does. :-)
