Btw, did you want help with your avatar? It seems to have come out the wrong way round.

I like Vesta chow mein. But not Vesta beef curry because it burns my tongue. The curly things are best.
They still make that shit? I used to do it in the early 1970s as a student who could not cook. Once I'd learned to cook - and once I'd tried the real thing - I stopped eating it. Still, it will keep you alive till you've got round to cooking.
I also used to have a standard evening meal of a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie and a tin of beans. Seemed to keep me going and gave me a good thirst which I and my mate would solve by going to the pubs on the Holloway Road to down a few pints of Guiness. (The Guiness was good due to the high Irish contingent in the area so it was fresh and tastey. I find it harder to get a decent Guiness these days because most pubs only sell it at a low rate so it is often stale and sour - all that bloody poncy filtered yuppie pseudo-beer and pseudo-lager crap being sold is to blame for that.)
I am not allowed to use can openers. and pubs are full of scary people who shout loudly and sometimes fight. Irish people sing sad songs and dance a lot but not very well. Guiness makes your number 2 turn black,
