Context if anyone does not get it.

[–]jake314159England 41 points42 points ago

I got the context but still watched the whole thing again.

To be honest, I think the whole thing stacked Just fine.

I listened to this ten times non stop. Thanks for making my entire day Britain.

it says more Heston magic to the side

[–]areyoufuckingthickLancashire 3 points4 points ago

True story: this guy had an affair with my old science teacher, he then got divorced and then got engaged and married to my science teacher and then about a year later 'they' (by which I mean he) unofficially separated. This happened within a a year or two. They met on twitter, after they tweeted to each other about celery (if I can remember the school rumour-mill correctly).

Apparently he's a perverted bastard and is into BDSM (I think it was revealed in the papers).

[–]JeremyKylesLovechildDNA tested 0 points1 point ago

I heard he's got quite the porn collection too

[–]areyoufuckingthickLancashire 0 points1 point ago

From what I heard/seen, this is true!

We're going to be having some visitors when the Americans wake up ;)

[–]SwiftfootedLondon (but from Northumberland) 47 points48 points ago

I wonder if we can convince them that the Waitrose Weekend is the most reputable newspaper in the UK...

[–]sp8derNorthumberland (Has a dumb flag.) 31 points32 points ago

To be honest, it probably is.

[–]sternslovchildEuropean Union 4 points5 points ago

Aye, it didn't get attacked in the Thick of It this week.

[–]pryomancerHampshire 35 points36 points ago

Let's make a bunch of posts talking about crumpets, the Queen and tea.

[–]RedditMcRedditor -5 points-4 points ago

I wondered why the level of intelligence had took a massive nose dive in this thread. I guess that explains it.

[–]legumeelondon w2 9 points10 points ago

waitrose have done something similarish before

[–]xereetoFuck yeah Scotland -5 points-4 points ago

They're talking about 9gaggers and F7U12'ers.

Heston Blumenthal, now as big a cock as Gordon.

Shameful.

[–]GrumpyHippy -1 points0 points ago

Ooh, this explains why I had a redorange for nothing earlier, what'd they say?

[–]therico 0 points1 point ago

It was an Amazon referral link to his cookbook.

[–]chippehYorkshire 21 points22 points ago

This was from last year, I think. Funny nonetheless.

[–]legumeelondon w2 2 points3 points ago

from 1st december 2011 issue

[–]corney91 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I remember a similar story involving the Waitrose paper and thought maybe they make a habit of subtly dirty images. But, alas, it seems to be a one-off.

[–]mrandocalrissian 0 points1 point ago

It is from last year, taken by and posted first by @fatherwoland on Twitter, IIRC.

This video is the only place I know Heston Blumenthal from, before this post...

Well if I AM retarded - you're a dick hole fuknut. With a sobbing eternal sense of cuntosity.

So that’s what you get when you take YouTube and multiply it with British.

That's the article where he divulges the secret ingredient of his latest soup.

Pure liquid nitrogen.

Hundreds dead.

[–]Captain_BirdseyeDerbyshire 4 points5 points ago

Man soup....

[–]SasakuraEuropean Union 10 points11 points ago

Thus confirming my bias that Waitrose is full of old cocks.

[–]Sinkchain 26 points27 points ago

Ex Waitrose employee here.

They had a massive uproar about this, we were told not to talk about it and there were threats of disciplinary being thrown about.

[–]eliasqfuntybuntPortsmouth, Hampshire 29 points30 points ago

Another Ex-Waitrose employee here: this sounds like complete bollocks. At the branch I worked in any attempt to stop people commenting on the fact that they had a perspex stand with a big cock in it would be futile beyond all belief.

And beyond that, it's not a disciplinary offence, unless the Partner Handbook now includes "making fun of funny things" as a disciplinary event.

[–]walgmanLondon 8 points9 points ago

To be fair it probably depends in the sense of humour of the individual managers. Also people get sacked and disciplined illegally all the time. Years ago I got sacked on the stop for being late once! I took them to tribunal and proved I had lost 10 months salary. Great it was.

[–]Sinkchain 2 points3 points ago

Of course it was futile, there was bound to be gossip about the massive cock stand. That being said our manager was stupidly anal, I cannot begin to describe how "to the book" he was. Side story: I once brought a red pen into work and was lectured on how I could "get to sack" for using a green pen, as only the top of the top were permitted to use green ink to sign documents. Of course I would not be sacked for this, but he was a complete anal maniac.

[–]soigneesEx-Hampshirian living in Sweden 1 point2 points ago

you worked at the one on Marmion road? I think everyone in Portsmouth knows someone who has worked/works there. (I worked in the one in Petersfield as a checkout girl.)

[–]eliasqfuntybuntPortsmouth, Hampshire 0 points1 point ago

Nope, I worked at the one back where I used to live before I moved to Portsmouth. Don't know anyone at the Marmion Road one!

[–]soigneesEx-Hampshirian living in Sweden 0 points1 point ago

nuuuu my theory has been proved wrong! Oh well.

[–]eliasqfuntybuntPortsmouth, Hampshire 0 points1 point ago

I did see someone who worked in there on OKCupid once. That could have resulted in awkwardness.

[–]Black_ApalachiMerseyside 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit I didn't even see a cock until I read your post.

[–]eliasqfuntybuntPortsmouth, Hampshire 3 points4 points ago

Not sure if that's a reference to the OP, or a veiled insult towards me.

[–]Black_ApalachiMerseyside 0 points1 point ago

Ha, I didn't see that one coming either! Was indeed referring to OP's pic. :)

Trivia: In Denmark "pick" sounds like "pik" which translates into dick

What a massive dick.

yeah, what a dick head.
