Quickies part 2

[Old Koreelah]

A cartoon version of an old favourite:

 

 

 

[red750]

A handsome man in a suit approaches a young lady at a bar and asks if he can buy her a drink.
“Don’t you have a girlfriend?” she asked.
“Guys like you always have girlfriends.” He looked downcast,
“No, sadly we broke up just over a month ago.”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,” she said,
“OK then, I’ll have a white wine please.”
One glass of wine led to a second.
A few drinks later after a kiss and a cuddle they headed off back to her place and made passionate love.
While he was putting his clothes back on she said,
“So, you’re good looking, a nice guy and amazing in bed. Can I ask why on earth you split with your girlfriend?”
He said,
“My wife found out.”

It'd want to be the most spectacular pie for $20 Spacey.

 

I paid $9.50 for a pie down here last weekend, but it did have scallops in it.

[Jerry_Atrick]

I like pies.. In fact, I had one for dinner last night. Was the equivalent of $4 and almost worth every penny.

 

I hope the $20 is for a family and not individual pie.

The tough-pastry meat pie that oozed a meaty slop was once the standard working man's lunch. Nowadays you have to look hard amongst the kebab, sushi, hamburger and fried chicken shops to find a pie-man. Once you have found him, you are faced with a wide range of choices of fillings that Sergeant's and Four 'n' Twenty never envisaged. Even the follow-up custard tart is a limp crusted imitation of a former glory. You get the feeling that it's not PC to hunger for an Aussie pie.

But are they still as good now as they once were?

 

In Sydney, Harry's Cafe de Wheels was a Kings Cross institution. Now the name is splattered all over the city, and I suppose the original Harry has gone to the great pie cart in the sky.

 

Arthur Butler Aviation Museum would like to re-establish Tooraweenah's contribution to fine dining.

Nah. Butler only served airline food.

Pies are advertised all over the place and they are all the worlds best, but it is hard to find a good one. We had a mobile pie shop locally a few years ago, great pies, but they came up from the NSW, Qld border, nearly 800km.

I really like a Cornish Pastie, but even harder to find a good one.

The really hard to find pies are hal al egg and bacon.

I think outside some independent bakers in Cornwall, finding a good one over here is also a rarity.

Not sure if you're a Terry Pratchett fan... but I'm sure "Cut-me-own-throat" Dibbler would sell you one.

We have numerous local pie shops all bidding for supremacy. The Bakers Hill Pie Shop is renowned, the Rottnest Island Bakery has outstanding pies, the Bindoon Bakehaus is famous on the North out of Perth, and the Miami Bakehouse is very popular in the South.

I used to be a PIE Connoysier.. . Nev

[old man emu]

Nobody's ever accused me of being a pie-ker.

[Cosmick]

For me its a Burger "Hamburger with egg and cheese". Try and find a decent one with a home made rissole AND tomato sauce(of course you can ask for type of sauce but still usually comes out with BBQ.

What ever happened to a decent Dim Sim - Hmmm .. Cabbage

 

[Jerry_Atrick]

My daughter picked up some frozen Dim Sims for my son. I asked if there were still Chiko Rolls available. She wasn't sure.You used to be able to pick up a hot Chiko Roll at the kiosk on the platforms at Flinders Street Station when I was working, but I haven't travelled into town on the train for nearly 15 years. 

[facthunter]

Chiko Rolls go back to the 50's and involved VINCENT MOTORCYCLES in the  add with a saucy lady draped over it.. A collector's item. (The Advert).  Nev

A 90-year-old man was in a retirement home.
While sitting on a chair he started leaning to the left, so much that the nurse was afraid he would fall down.
So she straightens him up and put a pillow on his left side to keep him up.
Later he started leaning to the right.
The nurse straightens him up again and puts another pillow on that side too.
Later the old man started leaning forwards, so the nurse put a pillow on his lap to keep him up.
Later the old man’s son came to visit.
He asked, “Hey Dad, how do you like this place?”
“It’s not bad”, said the old man.
“But this b!tch won’t let me fart.”

[Yenn]

I don't reckon hamburger is food. I really miss the pork pies available in England, but that is about the only thing.

[red750]

Four guys were out fishing. One of them says, "To get permission to come today, I had to promise my missus I would paint the loungeroom."

 

"That's nothing," said the second man. "My wife wants a new kitchen."

 

The third man says, "You've both got it easy. My wife wants the whole house renovated."

 

After a few minutes, they realise the fourth man has said nothing.

 

"Alright," they ask, "what do you have to do?"

 

He thought for a couple of minutes, then said, "The alarm went off at five thirty. I turned over and nudged the missus and said 'Fishing or sex?' "

 

She replied, "Don't forget your jacket."

Right on, Yenn! Two huge chemical-laden pads trying to contain layers of bulky filling, which might actually contain some actual food. Designed to encourage the worst in eating manners, promote obesity and clogged arteries…

My wife recently brought me home a chicken burger, almost all of which I wasted. There were a few morsels of edible stuff in there if you were desperate.

Three old Grandmas were sitting on a bench outside the nursing home when an old Grandpa walked by.
One of the old Grandmas yelled out,
‘Hey, we bet we can tell exactly how old you are!’
The old man said,
‘ There is no way you can guess my age!’
One of the Grandmas said,
‘Sure we can! Just drop your pants and undershorts and we can tell your exact age.’
Embarrassed, but anxious to prove they couldn’t do it, he dropped his drawers.
The Grandmas asked him to first turn around a couple of times and then jump up and down several times.
Determined to prove them wrong, he did it.
Then they all said in unison,
‘You’re 87-years-old!’
Standing with his pants down around his ankles, the old gent asked,
‘How in the world did you guess my age?’
Slapping their knees, high-fiving and grinning from ear to ear, the three old ladies happily crowed…..
‘We were at your birthday party yesterday!’
