Easter

Post by Gob »

Jesus died to give us 2 bank holidays. Jesus, God’s only begotten son, died for his belief that workers deserve a four-day paid break just when the weather’s beginning to pick up. Archbishop Justin Welby said: “The heavenly miracle of Good Friday was bought with the blood of the Lamb, spilt for everyone who’s got a bit of decorating to do." “And He said unto them, Fear not ye for there is still no work tomorrow. Lo, does anyone fancy the pub?” “How can the atheists scoff when only eight days of leave need be booked to give sixteen days off? Marvel at the ways of the Lord.”
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Easter treat;
To many people, they’re already quite sickly enough. But a chip shop has found a way to add extra oomph to Cadbury’s creme eggs – and is selling them deep-fried.

The eggs – a long-standing Easter treat – are dipped in batter and then put in boiling fat for between 30 and 40 seconds to ensure the yolk warms up, but the chocolate doesn’t completely melt.
Surprisingly, perhaps, the chip shop that came up with the snack says it is doing a roaring trade.

"We started selling them to help raise money for charity and people keep asking for them. If you like chocolate then you’ll absolutely love the eggs, especially as the middle melts slightly.’ Customers can eat the eggs with ice cream in the chip shop’s restaurant for £2 or take them away for £1."

The new Easter treat follows other sickly desserts such as deep-fried Ferrero Rocher and battered Mars bars.

They had scotch eggs with a creme egg in the middle on Sunday Brunch today, the guests were suitably unimpressed with the pork and chocolate combo.
