apart from one, which is decided by a public vote. what gets yours?

it's Sultana Bran all day for me, i could live off that stuff, and for a short while did.

honourable mentions for weetabix. (four, with sugar and warm milk, btw)

aah nostalgia!!

do they still make these?


yep.


Lucky Charms

just for the ironey

it was once banned, now its all we can buy... how ironic


banned?

wut?


Fruit n Fibre! That may sound like an odd choice

it's hardliest the sexiest of options, but, I don't think you'd ever tire of the taste whereas 70 odd years of chowing down on Sugar Puffs or Coco Pops would get really boring.


I have a Lucky Charms Flying Disc!

(frisbe)

It's number 3 of 4 (I think). If anyone has the other three and is willing to part with them I will pay.


Weetabix.

I prefer lots of others, but this is a serious question that needed massive consideration with a number of factors and it's the one i'd get least bored of over time.


i really do not want to agree with you

but it seems as though i do. you're still wrong about everything else though.


porridge

Partly because I fucking love the stuff, but mostly because other people really don't.


...

I get these weird, cheap chocolate square things from Home Bargains which are relatively enjoyable. No idea what they're called, but they have a cheerful squirrel on the packet.

So my vote goes for that.


YES!

That's what I was going to say. They're incredible. Originally I was going to say Coco Pops, because you can't get Chocolate Squares everywhere, but then I realised that if they were the only cereal available, you'd probably be able to.


Muesli

the good stuff though not that cheap powdery Alpen rubbish...


the above

with honey please.


^ seconded


Frosted Miniwheats

mmmm.

Though Just Right, Vector, Raisin Bran, and Corn Flakes (with a little sweetener on top) would all be sorely missed.


thirded

(the ricicles suggestion)


Weetos


Cream Of Wheat

i feel like a homely, poor child everytime i eat it. like i just got back from feeding the pigs their slop and this is all my mom could afford to feed me. in a good way.


Clusters

Although I just pick out the clustery bits. I wouldn't mind breakfast cereals being made illegal, it would cut my milk-viewing-contact time down dramatically. There's no worse sight than watching people eat cereal with milk.


^5 fellow non-milk cereal eater

WE'RE THE NORMAL ONES


I don't really eat it at all

Poptarts are breakfast item of choice. But never, never, never with the milk. Cereal, not poptarts. That would be even more gross.


poptarts lol

what flavour?

i went through a phase of eating them too...


any

the supersugary ones - like strawberry i guess.


Clusters


the answer is obv

shreddies


can't remember what they are called now, but...

cinnamon crunch/grahams?? haven't had them for years


Golden Grahams?

Or Cinnamon Toast Crunch?


yess

cinnamon toast crunch are the greatest ever cereal fact


On the subject, we've got this

amazingly budget German cereal at the moment called "Wellness Flakes" - and the manufacturer is "MASTER CRUMBLE"

I really should be doing my politics essay. What are the disadvantages of uncodified constitution, anybody?


In Canada

we had these: http://www.canadaonly.ca/images/allbranbarsx.jpg

Soooooooo good. I'm afraid they'll be discontinued as they might seem a bit off-putting, but they tasted like cookies.


yuuuuuuuuum

not that i ever eat them. i rarely think to even walk down the cereal/cerealbar aisle...


whhheeyy for revision notes

What are the arguments in favour of a codified Constitution?
• To limit executive power which controls Parlt through elected Commons majority. The aim would be to disperse power more widely.
• Need for less centralised control from Westminster and greater powers for local govt.
• Define and limit prerogative powers and put them under control of parlt not govt.
• Individual rights not protected enough by HRA.

What are the arguments against a codified constitution?
• Would harm the efficiency of govt – present system allows to pass laws and deal with urgent matters quickly.
• Would prevent flexibility which currently allows govt to adapt to change. e.g. in USA presidential attempts to quickly adapt to crises have been rejected by Supreme Court using the Constitution.
• Would end Parliamentary Sovereignty and therefore undermine many of the institutions that the govt is based, destroying traditions which uphold the British political system.

pipped at the post
(is that even a real expression?!)


eeeee!

thankyou so much!


haha I ate some of those the other day...

aren't they budget Special K or summit?

Easily manipulated.... eg by convention... it could be negative that no govt can bind it's successor. Too much freedom for overbearing govt. Or something.


thanks!

Although at first I read that paragraph as if it was referring to the cereal. Confusion to the max.

and it's pipped to* the post :)

Predator update: this film is incredible. Why has it been so long since I've seen it? I think the last time I saw it i may have been youn enough to actually take it seriously.


Oho ho ho ho HAAAA

Matey, you dun got norrr clue bout cerealss n' att!!

Golden Graham's orl ahm 'bout 2 say 'n att.


Would

Different varieties of the same cereal be allowed?
Like Frosted shreddies and normal shreddies


Ready Brek

as long as it's topped with golden syrup and bananas.


^ Actually, yes....

Ready Brek could well be the holy grail, I honestly don't think that I would ever get bored with it.


Oh lord.

I forgot about chocolate ready brek. I was looking for it the other day; have they stopped making it? :-\


Nah, it's still around!

I saw some in Tesco today.


I don't know

but if I ever I want chocolate ready brek a just melt a few pieces of dairy milk into the bowl with the ready brek then mix it. Hungry just thinking about it, ah well only about 11 more hours till breakfast.


11 HOURS?!

Student per chance?


Student who's back home for the holidays

and is a dosser who doesn't need to be at work until 2.00pm, then finishes at 10.00pm after taking a leisurely 45 minute break. It sounds ideal (in terms of hours, for me) but working at Royal Mail sorting out the post is bloody tedious...today I spent four hours just standing in front of a pile of boxes franking all the mail inside them, then putting it into another series of boxes. Fun, fun, fun.


I feel your pain, I've done that job

a few times over christmas and it is quite the ordeal!


I used to love Ready Brek

but strangely only with cold milk. With hot milk it goes all lumpy.


Cheerios

You fools!


CORN POPS

Corn Pops
Corn Pops
why have these not been mentioned?
As they have been withdrawn they might be invalid (fuck you Kelloggs) so second choice would be classic, reliable Corn Flakes
Ricicles are good too but quickly deteriorate in the milk if left too long


:o

crunchy nut you fool!


You Nutta!!


:O

too sickly and make the milk taste funny. Plus nuts and milk really don't mix.


crunchy nut cornflakes

all the way


Fact

Rick Waller is just the honey monster shaved


yeah

they're BETTER!


weetabix

topped in way too much sugar with some shreddies thrown in on top for good measure


Clearly porridge

1. It is warm
2. It is natural and healthy
3. It is almost infinitely variable
4. You don't have to add milk to it, and therefore it means you a) don't have to buy milk on the off-chance you're going to eat breakfast just to then see it wasted and go off and b) it does not fuel the soy industry for vegetarians, and so we would all have less estrogens in our drinking water


*vegans


Actually I just got back into eating real oatmeal

and I'm surprised how much I like it. When I was in Canada I often ate instant oatmeal and it was okay, but then I tried some here and it was like wallpaper paste.

46p big bag of oats at Asda ftw.


Less vegans in our drinking water?

I'm in favour of that!


Weetabix out the the face.

That stuff is fabulous!


Sugar puffs

because they have an interdependent relationship with socks that can be deduced by the attraction for one to the other. Therefore without sugar puffs, we'd have no socks and that would be bad for all concerned.
