Can I get the I’m not leaving a tip water?

Well, at least he’ll be warm.

He may be doing “porridge” in Dartmoor.

CITE: do ˈporridge (British English, old-fashioned, informal) be in prison serving a sentence: He’s doing porridge again, this time for armed robbery.This comes from the fact that as porridge is a cheap food that makes the stomach feel full, it was often served in prisons.

Dinna ye ken. Yer nae use milk, jus a wee dram o whisky.

And you want more.

It’s a bit oatey

A person too poor to own a home may become cereal renter.

You were lucky to have porridge! There were a hundred and fifty of us living in t’ shoebox in t’ middle o’ road.

Beats living with a bunch of fruit loops, I guess.

For they among you who “kisim save long Tokpisin” this is bloody hilarious. Wanpela niupela Kiap i kam long Hailans. Nau dispela Kiap i subim olgeta botol strongpela dring (Scotch, Whiskey, Rum etc.) long liklik tebol long fireplace antap. (mantelpiece) Nau dispela Kiap i lukluk long botol Scotch. Em i mo pulap.

It is gruel, to make little children eat porridge.

Did you hear about the bloke who murdered Snap, Crackle, and Pop, the monkey from Coco Pops, and all the other animated a$$holes who inhabit our breakfast-time soggies.

It appears like he was a cereal killer.

The only thing I can imagine, living IN porridge, would be a weevil.

So the force of weevil is alive and well.

Life can be gruel sometimes.

@ Long Tom: Just another part of the crooked system.

Prison management;
1. Take food allowance money
2. Buy cheapest food
3. ???
4. Profit!

See my shocked face.

@DnT 1759. Who said. “Crime does not pay”?

I think any number of highly paid Judges, Barristers, and Lawyers , would attest to the fact….That it does handsomely.

BTW. It may or may not surprise you, that the Govt. is privatising the Prisons in Aust. also.

@Marum 1914: I read that the private prisons are held to very high standards here. I wonder…

Not according to my “Copper” mates.

BTW Do you know why they call ’em coppers.

Copper = Cu + Not Trustworthy $hitez.

Marum: So Dr Johnson was not being entirely forthright when he defined oats as “A grain that in England is fed to horses, but in Scotland to people”.

Does living in a theme park planet count as poverty?
