I tried Subway once. Never been back.
And as for the Jaffa Cake conundrum "cake or biscuit*?": it's a cake. Legally (in the UK at least) it's a cake because when it goes stale, it gets harder. Biscuits start out hard, and go soft with time.
I don't discriminate: I like cake, I like biscuits, and I like Jaffa cakes!
* For our US readers, that would be "Cake or Cookie?"

Their veggie sandwich is a lie.
One tiny slice of cheese is all you get and then the regular toppings everyone gets.
And if court has anything to say about it, it probably isn't cheese either.
Still, the toppings are okay so it's not that bad either... At least better than Burger King, KFC or McDonald's.

The next case to be tried in Ireland should be under the Consumer Protection Act (2007). The question to be answered is whether "fast food" should be classified as "food".
It certainly isn't fit for human consumption...

Or (in the UK) particularly "fast".

Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but with such a high amount of sugar it's more probably PLA.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

... The panic buyers hit my local supermarket yesterday, and pretty much emptied the TP shelves.
When I walked past the aisle all that it held was one double roll pack and a battery powered Wet & Dry Vacuum cleaner.
I'm not sure if this was a "suggested substitute" or somebody just changed their mind ... 
And yes, when I went in today the shelves were all fully stocked.

Wow - brilliant marketing strategy !
Empty the shelves, create that fear "deep in the pit of the stomach" and watch the hoarders pay top dollar for whatever you've got. Social engineering at it's best!

Or, my personal take on it: "There's no cure for stupid".

My take on it is more along the lines of: Death is the only cure for stupid. Particularly the variety that usually starts of with "Hold my beer" or "Hey, y'all, watch this!"

I tried not to disrespect the south - but the reality is, with Alabama, Louisianan, and Mississippi, it's really too late for that.

With the panic buying starting again, I ran out of TP, so I've started using old newspapers. The Times are rough.

The only difference between them these days is that The Times doesn't have a page 3 girl.

So - which sells more papers? More to the point, which would you buy?
One could easily imagine that there's more reason form some guys to take the Sun to the bathroom than the Times!

If I had to choose between The Times and The Sun, I'd choose The Times. Their crossword puzzle is better.
Of course, I'm in the minority...

The Daily Mirror is used by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is used by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is used by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is used by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is used by people who own the country; the Morning Star is used by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is used by people who think it is.

I was online doing a purchase - amongst other things, it include nose wipes (i.e., facial tissue) at about half the price anywhere else for brand-name stuff.
So - I had a thought, this AM: what about rolls of ass wipes (i.e., bathroom tissue)? OK - no deals worth getting but I did learn a shocking truth about the decay of all that is soft and textured in the world of personal sanitation:
Some rolls, from pretty much every brand, call themselves "quadruple rolls" and yet only have about 400 wipes/roll. (Angel Soft was 429/roll - just checked out of curiosity). That means, since these are quadruple rolls, that they make rolls with <100/roll. Only slightly exaggerating, apparently one is expected to bring their own roll with them to make it through the session. ( Either that, or a copy of The Guardian . . . )
I mean really? It's bad enough that defective merchandise is now the norm (thank chairman Mr. Xi) and that's become acceptable to the younger and less experienced generations. The only step further downhill one might go is the wipes having holds in them, here and there, from dirt on the pressure rollers.

Then there's single ply that gets 2 wipes/roll!

A personal bidet is standard issue in most toilets in Asia and the Middle East. Boggles the mind why folks in the west haven't yet got with the program. Not only is it much more hygienic, it's cheaper to use than just toilet paper and creates much less waste. I use a model similar to this:
