Instant Drowning Noodles

“Pot Noodle - Fuel of the Nation, isn’t it?”

That’s what the ads say at least. It also kinda gets hard to believe that those pots of scrummy goodness are only 5% fat (the new ads about that fact dig in!) - like that really matters. What really matters is that they are both yummy and deadly to stupid teddys.

Oh, and back at home, the side entrance to the estate is a lot different than it was before….

Last night, whilst watching the re-runs of the WSOP Circuit Events on Challenge - I was eating a Pot Noodle. I can get quite addicted to them, and even munch down 3 of them in one evening (not good for the bank balance at €1.39 each!). What surprises me though is that it’s Nice and Spicy flavoured boiling water, soya pieces, dried veg, noodles and so-called “Spicy” sweet mango chutney can be very deadly when a certain stupid teddy bear comes roaming around the pot.

You see, I told you Wrong Babe was stupid - there’s the proof. Upon seeing it he decided to get a closer look and end up falling in. Needless to say he got the washing machine treatment later on (they hate the washing machine, and the dryer, and being hung up on the washing line outside).

Anyway, back to the estate - it seems that during last night either one of two things happened:

• The security company came to their senses and took down the gates closing off the entrance
• Someone did what I’ve always wanted to do and break them down!

I think the second option is the more likely, as the (newly bent) gates were on the grass next to the little security “office” chalet - which itself had a broken window. Hopefully now the side entrance will now be always open instead of just from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday. Handy since taking that exit cuts the time it takes me to walk to the village in half.
