All of that was true.

That's the noise they make as you suck them up the straw. 
Quote: Rob H @ January 7 2011, 9:38 PM GMT(But seriously, you should try to eat sprouts that my mum's cooked. You could eat them through a straw.)
Sprouts should be slightly firm. And they are a top vegetable.

I wouldn't.
DLA is great for those that need of whom there are many.
But at some point there needs to be a little more judgement.

That embarasment would have been worth about 300 squids a month.

I'm with you there. The benefits system is so flawed. Brilliant principle, but terrible implementation.

I wouldn't.

I've only ever eatentried to eat sprouts round my mum's. They are a vegetable for Christmas day, and that's it.
I like the idea of stir frying them with bacon and chestnuts, a la Heston Blumenthal but it'll probably never happen.

Well the whole cost is getting quite silly and actively disinsentifies work.
Maybe boost minimun wage and stop pestering people into work who can't work and where there are no jobs.

Think of them as mini-cabbages if that helps.
Sprouts are tiny orbs of WIN.
Especially when tossed in a little butter and mint.
Big sprouts are better though

I've tried. It hasn't helped. I find it easier to ignore the fact they exist.
Well don't sprout about it!
