No.

He looks like Chris Isaak's jock brother there.

You don't know where they are, you don't know what should be on the menu.  You've cashed in your chips.

No chippies this end of BMR, just kebab houses and obviously a vegan pizza place.  On the kebab house side of things, people rave about Turkish Delight, but Panicos is where it's at.  However, they aren't chippies and are for another thread.

Passed the Royal Cod in Chorlton and couldn't resist chippy lunch

Went for the sausage and chips, was lush. As it wasn't main meal of the day, didn't go for any sauce, just loads of salt and vinegar, vinegar on first, naturally.

It really does seem that kebabs being commonplace in a chippy is regional, particularly the west midlands.  West is best.

That went well.

Ah I see, well it's not as cool as that I'm afraid, just some music I recently released that I'd like to share. But it's no biggy.

How about here?

I won't name names because it's mortifying but some lad from round here apparently got into serious debt with some wrong uns and disappeared for a few years.

Only someone recognised him on a Spanish gay porn website and it turns out he's doing that to get the money back. Nobody knew, not even his girlfriend. There's a picture of him finishing a lad off on a sofa and he looks absolutely gutted. Proper miserable.

Gossips spread quickly, his life is utterly fucked now on top of the debt. Feel bad for him. He's only like 23.

If he was 10 years older I'd have put money on it being bAz.

Yeah you can't trust them fuckers.  It's like a Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares where the menu is 6 pages long and not one of those pages has doner meat.

Saw a good un on Twitter, if rice can be jerked then Bond can be black.  Thought that was bang on, would like to see a venn diagram of white bond only and it's only rice ffs people.  I say venn diagram but it would be a circle.

You are fucking wrong uns.  We aren't talking about Shish or koftes or poncey shit like that.  Doner meat, and chicken at a push, both normal and tikka on a pole like doner.  That's all, nothing else.

When we go to my gfs parents, their local chippy does kebabs but they ask if you want salad or chips on top of them.  Chips every time!  Then again, it is Bedworth so that's probably Blumenthal levels of ponceness for the area.  Mixed kebab with chips is a fiver ,well skill.

No, you have to hand in your Plastic Mick card at the door.  Because I once had a House Of Pain hooded top, I'm still allowed to keep mine.

I'm sorry they don't have Harry Ramsden in Chorlton. Try Henri Ramsdenne round the corner.

They don't do kebab meat.

You're allowed to sit down and have seating areas, but those are fish restaurants, just to be clear.

A restaurant seats you, takes your order and brings your food over to you.

Not even proper Irish either. Americans whose grandparents once drank a Guinness Irish.

Jack Charlton would still pick 'em

This may belong in the unpopular opinions thread but I really really hate Jump Around by House Of Pain. I can feel my insides curl up just from hearing the opening to it. 

The video is a fucking embarrassment too.  Lets see how many Irish references and stereotypes we can shoehorn into this.

So what's the level of purity test for the Chippy Tea Party, currently? No kebab meat, no sitting, no plates, what else?

No mardy cricket loving Mancs.

Or to play semantics, ALL chippies are takeaways, not all takeaways can claim to be chippies

As an aside, both Royal Cod and Atlantic Fish Bar in Chorlton have seated areas and even proper plates.  Poor old Devon would have a Scanners moment if they did kebabs as well.

Will Smith always gets my respect for being the most (and possibly only) truly successful actor across film, TV and music.

He was only in one TV show!  If that's the criteria then with his one album, Bruce Willis is one as well.

I can't remember if it was @Nostalgia Nonce or not who knew someone attached to this monstrosity and had to feign being impressed with them.  Not even a Poundshop Purple Aki can improve this.  I remember it really enraged @Loki when he heard it.

That's the one, lads. It makes my blood boil, it's so utterly awful in every way. I genuinely think the worst of someone if they like it.

I was working in a small office when the fucker came out and much like the similarly wretched Nickleback song you have no warning as it goes straight in with the singing.  At least Love Shack gives you two seconds to brace for impact but this fucker is Al Queda to the B52's IRA, no courtesy call, just the detonation.  Anyway, this guy in the office said it was a great song.  I went on a rant about white reggae and the general shiteness of the song.  He said "Well I'm mixed race so I know about reggae", I replied "Yeah but last week you were legit saying how ancient Egyptians built the pyramids to house their WiFi towers so I'll not hold your opinion in great stead".

Anyway, another one.  They did a gig in a place called The Tin Angel in Cov where my ex mother in law was a patron and a trustee.  It was a tiny place and the singer was a twat.  He pointed at the bass player who was playing an upright and said "Have you ever heard someone play an upright bass better than this" and she instinctively said "Danny Thompson".  Singer looked sheepish and said "Oh yeah, guess so"  Bass player came up to ex MiL afterwards and thanked her for saying that and hopefully he will never ask that again because he had done it before.  They then talked about Danny Thompson for a bit and he seemed like the good one of the duo.

What's that one with that lyric "I'm gonna marry you anyway"? It always used to be on in Asda when I went shopping and is the prime reason I use Morrisons now. How could anybody hear that song and think it's good? I know I listened to some shite when I was a kid but even at that age I would have turned the radio off pronto.

That's the aforementioned "Rude" by MAGIC! (yep, that's how they stylise it).  As soon as I heard it I knew they were white, as the learned poster who nominated it said, the singer is such a wanker as he cares for nobody but himself.  It's white reggae by numbers, right down to the instrumentation and production.
