Perhaps I'm out of touch.
TerryQuis custodiet ipsos custodes? - 9 June 2010 08:2455557Wife going away for two days,so for me it is beans and more beans for the whole of the two days.
- 9 June 2010 08:3255562Im surprised a tin of beans can bring a man so much pleasure.
- 9 June 2010 08:3655563They do Melissa and four tins just over£1, can not go wrong with them hot or cold and very good for you, just look at me still only look 30years, but I am 68 this year
- 9 June 2010 09:2655568Here's a picture of young Vic in the crowd last sunday, listening intently to the speeches being made by assorted bigwigs. As you can see he is looking very healthy and robust...clearly a walking advert for the humble baked bean.
"Thankyou Mr Heinz for your 57 varieties" says Vic
I dont know if Roger eats baked beans but he is also looking good...here he is just along from Vic in the crowd of eager listeners. Next to Roger is that young Andy Steele fella fiddling with his camera.

lol! apart from the inner explosive aspect, although I can see how it would on occasion prove useful with regard to a spot of pebbledashing, the humble baked bean is packed with nutrients, so in these hard times when we are all looking at ways to keep the wolf from the door, the baked bean could fill a hole and save us from a fate worse than poverty.
A staggering 1.5million cans are eaten here everyday in the UK. Its only in the UK they are this popular. Vic eats half of them singlehandedly. But as a nation we're mad for them.
They worry about methane from cows polluting our ozone layer but nobody mentions the combined escaped gases of these 1.5million cans everyday. Mix the humble bean with the inner organs of the human and...
Wow!! Zap!!
It doesnt bear thinking about so it doesnt.
I wont trawl back through all six or seven pages of beans here but I remember we spoke about ring cans...or the lack of them. This is especially for those with a touch of Arthur Itis...but ringcans are available in Sainsburys own brand. I bought a four pack last week. Not easy using them blasted tin openers these days so very handy. i dont know if the beans are any good but at least one can open the tin.
email: dover7@msn.com - 23 February 2011 17:3493912Yes Beans to not cost alot and are ameal on their own,I am now going to start up the Bean Party just in time for the locals in May,so you could see me standing for the bean Party,if you vote for me then you get afree tin of beans.
