The Place of the JBR In Modern Ireland
It’s now many years since my father-in-law first made me aware of the place of the Jumbo Breakfast Roll in modern Ireland- south of the border. As one who travels the length and breadth of the country in his job, he has been availing of the JBR for a long time now, with the expanding waistline to prove it (isn’t it as well my wife doesn’t read this site...) Now, it appears academic research has identified the JBR as a truly iconic image of Celtic Tigerland. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry....

Me and my dog start the day with a regular helping of brochan/porridge :)

Posted by on May 12, 2008 @ 11:57 PMI do gas station dieting. I ripped the arse out of it today, I had a smoothie at Tesco’s Dunmurry, also a Tesco croissant
two, not one stop at ASDA on the Andytown Road, before and after Tesco, also delayed briefly at 10-30PM in the middle of the darkest zombie infested woods (disused Bridge) down from Drumbeg, for torchlight tucker.
I had a ranch salad when I got in, with a slice or two of polony. I’m gay for not eating properly, having said that, I’m as thin as a rake.
All of that after 9-00pm,

Good man :)
As a fellow porridge eater I must commend you on your choice of breakfast :) But stick to the original porridge none of this flavoured rubbish they sell nowadays . Porridge (Oatmeal) is great for the cholestrol and would be as good as a wire brush for scouring out the fat lined arteries of that nation of fried mars bar eaters known as the Scots !
BA need to add traditional fish and chips and a hot currie to their menu . That’s keep the punters happy !

Sort of ‘gruel to be grind’, Greenflag.
