Milestone

That's it.

The first major milestone has been reached: one month without crisps.

For those of you who thought we'd crack by this point, I have just one thing to say: how do you like them pommes de terre?

11 months to go. Bring them ON.

Although having written that, I realise we're approaching the dark months, literally and figuratively. Literally, because the clocks go back and the night will draw in sooner. Figuratively, because as a result of the changing hours our resolve will face its sternest test - we all know what horrors await when evening arrives. When it's cold outside and the wind moans past the window. It's comfort-eating season, and what's more comforting than eating deep fried potato slices? Well, eating deep fried potato slices under a slanket.

Yeah, that's right, I've worn a slanket. And a pink one at that. What are you going to do about it - take away my bag of Flame Grilled Steak McCoy's Man Crisps?

  1. That looks impractical - you'd get crisp crumbs stuck in the sleeves.

  2. But you're still allowed girly crisps, right? Like rice cakes and their ilk?

  3. Yeah, plain rice cakes are allowed. They're just air!
