Wrong and rude!

Zammo here's a Wine

Do you think I would need to freeze them separated on a tray, or could I just stick 'em in a freezer bag?

ZammoMcGuire · 10/01/2015 18:13

massage them over your body ;)

That would only work if the temperature of my body was below zero degree, surely?

Barrys are clearly not to be trusted! When they're not dazzling us with dodgy highlights or acting like a Poundland Jamie Oliver they're stabbing people with compasses!

airedailleurs · 10/01/2015 18:33

just saw the ad for the first time today and it had been playing on my mind it was so odd...englishmums.com, what's that supposed to mean? I never even knew frozen onions existed, could be a good idea i suppose but I kind of enjoy chopping my fresh onions and garlic...just a weird ad!

BumWad · 10/01/2015 18:40

Ha OP I thought the same as you when I saw he ad. Frozen bloody onions whatever next.

Then again I may freeze all my leftover Xmas ones before they go off

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:45

Barry Bethell, do you remember him? He used TO SHOUT.

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:48

Oh bloody hell, I just googled Barry Bethell and he was jailed for sexually assaulting a child Shock
That trip down memory lane (of bad tv ads featuring a Barry) was not as lighthearted as planned.

squoosh · 10/01/2015 18:48

AND BARRY SCOTT THE SHOUTY CILIT BANG MAN.

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:50

YES, BARRY SCOTT! HE IS A BETTER BARRY I THINK.

WHAT OTHER TV BARRIES ARE THERE?

I can only think of Amanda.

fredfredgeorgejnr · 10/01/2015 18:51

200p a kilo vs 0.75p a kilo... surely frozen onions are just an extravagance that you would be better off spending on chocolate, or crisps, or something really time saving.

Sure if you can't chop an onion, but that's a relatively limited market.

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:52

Barry Manilow -was he the inspiration for Onion Barry's frosted tips?

squoosh · 10/01/2015 18:52

Barry White for when you're feeling sexy

Barry Manilow when you want to see a weird lizardy plastic surgery face.

Oh and Barry Chuckle, also for when you're feeling a bit sexy.

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:56

Oh Fred, it's lovely that you've gone and looked that up (even tho you've clearly misplaced the decimal of the non chopped onions and are about 100x out), but see, I can afford that 200p a kilo.

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:56

Do you want my Chuck brothers facts? You do, you do!

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 18:56

Chuckle. Bugger.

squoosh · 10/01/2015 18:58

One of them was caught dogging in a lay-by I think. Were you there Spotted?

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 19:02

I refuse to Google chuckle brothers and dogging.

No, it was a big family. There were the Chuckle brothers, and another 2 brothers, who worked.... as the support act for the Chuckle brothers. They were called the Patton Brothers. And another brother who eschewed fame. And a sister, who was married to Percy Sugden from Corrie.

This is mentalis-mentalium. If you want quick onions asian shops have dried onions which are ace. Onions cost about £3 for 5 kilos or less from asian/african/greengrocers This is making you pay £3 a kilo or so! Why not chop your own and freeze if you are that concerned! You know that it will be rejected onions and bits that is used.. and you are paying premium price for it don't you!

TheSpottedZebra · 10/01/2015 19:08

One of the Patton Brothers uses chopped onions.

SaucyJack · 10/01/2015 19:08

The Krankies have just come out as swingers.

If that's not a reason to use frozen onions I dunno what is.

TiggyD · 10/01/2015 19:09

No one has told me HOW to freeze my own Vinegar.
