EPIS - you are a babe!

Scotchick -I am a not (I don't think) a 'like' and 'ken' Fifer - but maybe I am just deluded!

Irn Bru should only ever be consumed when you have a raging hangover - can raise your blood sugar in about 10 nano-seconds (and of course destroy your teeth in 20)!

LieselVonTrapp · 15/09/2006 15:09

naw yeve got a face like dugs baws

nailpolish · 15/09/2006 15:26

asking for 'diet' Irn Bru in my local chippy is considered blasphemous

nailpolish · 15/09/2006 15:27

is that the right word? my brain is frazzed on a friday

expatinscotland · 15/09/2006 15:27

Boak at any fizzy juice that's 'diet'.

nailpolish · 15/09/2006 15:30

even more lol at someone asking for a pizza supper and 'diet' irn bru

why? would you do that?

LieselVonTrapp · 15/09/2006 15:44

I do that cause I dont like the stuff with sugar in it, it gies me the dry boak.

expatinscotland · 15/09/2006 15:45

Aspartame is the dry boak.

How can they do that to Irn Bru?

That's just a national disgrace!

Remember those adverts, 'Cheer up, goth, have an Irn Bru'? And they had to pull them b/c all the neds were chucking cans of Irn Bru at goths?

nailpolish · 15/09/2006 15:46

yes, irn bru MUSR be drunk from a can, none o' yer plastic bottle shite

nailpolish · 15/09/2006 15:47

MUST

expatinscotland · 15/09/2006 15:47

It's rank if it's not out of a can.

However, DH won't drink Tennant's out of a can, b/c he says it tastes like can.
