Lovely Wool Handle Waistcoat from The 1857 Signature Collection by Lloyd Attree and Smith
Following the success of a range of wool handle waistcoats Lloyd Attree and Smith have now launched their new 1857 range. With lovely soft feel fabrics and more contemporary styling details.
These waistcoats are button front with V hem and have dart lower pockets which are finished with unique print fabric, a colour selected from this fabric is used for contrast buttonhole stitching (as seen in the magnified image).
The left breast pocket is lined with the same fabric and can be pulled up to create a matching pocket hankie impression.
Plain back with adjuster to achieve correct fitting
Matching bow tie also available in fabric.
Composition: 90% Polyester and 10% Wool.
1857 Signature Collection from Lloyd Attree and Smith.
An inspired new range of clothing from Lloyd Attree & Smith who were established in 1857 in Shacklewell Lane, Dalston, in East London.
During the 1850s and 60s the business grew and became one of Londons leading manufacturers of shirts, ties and cravats.
Innovators of style and design, they registered a trademark of 'Nogatco' (the word octagon backwards), for the original Mr Lloyds invention of an octagonal silk cravat that could be folded in different ways to show eight different designs, giving a variety of looks for the cost conscious customer.
The 1857 Signature Collection is as innovative and relevant today, giving you style with value and quality second to none.

The BBC Proms is probably the greatest musical festival in the world and this season — the last to be programmed by outgoing director Roger Wright — stretches its ambitious boundaries further than ever. Ten international ensembles appear for the first time, alongside their colleagues from Berlin, Budapest, Cleveland and Leipzig.
Some popular choices include a War Horse Prom featuring the life-sized puppets and no fewer than four leading names from the pop world. There are also anniversaries of composers (Harrison Birtwistle, Peter Maxwell Davies) and conductors (Andrew Davis, Roger Norrington), making it one summer-long celebration.
The Kingdom
Elevated by some Elgar aficionados above even The Dream of Gerontius, The Kingdom is undoubtedly a masterpiece. Its solos, duets and choruses are uplifting while The Sun Goeth Down is one of the most beautiful pieces Elgar ever wrote.
Prom 1, 7.30pm, Fri Jul 18
Der Rosenkavalier
Richard Strauss penned some of his most sublimely wistful music in Der Rosenkavalier. Robin Ticciati conducts his Glyndebourne forces for this semi-staged production.
Prom 6, 6.30pm, Tue Jul 22
Walton, Gurney & Sally Beamish
Sally Beamish's Violin Concerto was inspired by Erich Maria Remarque's anti-war novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, while Ivor Gurney's War Elegy is the moving personal testimony of a composer who never fully recovered from being gassed in the First World War. Walton's powerful First Symphony completes this commemoration of the outbreak of the war.
Prom 20, 7.30pm, Fri Aug 1
Kiss Me, Kate
The annual visits of John Wilson and his showtime orchestra are always a highlight. This year, they offer a complete musical: Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate.
Prom 21, 7.30pm, Sat Aug 2
Vaughan Williams & Mahler
Seven of Mahler's symphonies are featured this season but the Ninth, a meditation on mortality, always holds a special place. Vaughan Williams's Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis should provide some consolation.
Prom 24, 6.30pm, Sun Aug 24
Strauss, Mozart & Nielsen
The Danish composer Carl Nielsen once said that his Fifth Symphony represented the division between dark and light, "the fight between good and evil". It's a work of elemental power in which humanity ultimately prevails. Strauss and Mozart complete the programme.
Prom 34, 7.30pm, Mon Aug 11
War Requiem
Benjamin Britten's War Requiem is a pacifist's protest at the inhumanity of war and a commemoration of the lives lost on all sides in the global conflicts of the 20th century.
Prom 47, 7.30pm, Thu Aug 21
Missa Solemnis
This Late Night Prom by the Monteverdi Choir under John Eliot Gardiner will surely create a very special atmosphere. With its stirring affirmation of faith, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis is monumental and deeply spiritual.
Prom 54, 10.15pm, Tue Aug 26
Strauss's Elektra recreates the horrors of the House of Atreus in music of unforgettable potency. Christine Goerke, the Royal Opera's recent thrilling Elektra, takes the title role.
Prom 59, 7.30pm, Sun Aug 31
St Matthew Passion
The performances with the Berlin Philharmonic of Bach's St Matthew Passion, in a staging by Peter Sellars, were described by Simon Rattle as "the single most important thing we ever did here". That event comes to the Albert Hall with a star-studded cast led by Mark Padmore and Christian Gerhaher.
Prom 66, 7pm, Sep 6
Armonia Atenea
The Armonia Atenea under George Petrou has proved itself as one of the finest baroque ensembles in the world and is making history by being the first Greek orchestra ever to appear at the Proms. Greek myth aptly looms large in this programme, which also includes early classical works.
Saturday Matinee 1, 3pm, Sat Aug 2
Lest We Forget
Rudi Stephan was a promising German composer whose career and life were abruptly terminated by the First World War. His Music for Orchestra is heard here alongside English works commemorating the conflict.
Prom 42, 7.30pm, Sun Aug 17
Tchaikovsky, Debussy & Unsuk Chin
South Korea comes to the Proms with the debut of the Seoul Philharmonic in a concerto for sheng, a traditional reed mouth organ, by composer Unsuk Chin. Debussy's La Mer and Tchaikovsky's Pathétique Symphony will also be heard under Myung-Whun Chung.
Prom 55, 7.30pm, Wed Aug 27
The Planets
One of the great joys of the Proms is that a blockbuster favourite such as Holst's The Planets can be programmed alongside the music of Arnold Schoenberg, still regarded by many as a "difficult" composer. The latter's Five Orchestral Pieces are well worth making the effort for.
Prom 56, 7.30pm, Thu Aug 28
Late Night with … Paloma Faith
Devotees of the pop end of the spectrum are spoiled for choice with late-night gigs by Laura Mvula (August 19), Rufus Wainwright (September 11) and Pet Shop Boys (July 23), as well as this appearance by Paloma Faith with the Guy Barker Orchestra. Expect songs from her new release A Perfect Contradiction as well as new arrangements of earlier songs.
Prom 65, 10.15pm, Fri Sep 5
Booking opens at 9am on Saturday May 17 for the BBC Proms (0844 209 7353; bbc.co.uk/proms; in person at venue), which run from Jul 18 to Sep 13 at the Albert Hall, SW7.

When La Rog Jewelers moved to Clackamas, they found a creative way to take their landmark sign with them
The Rogoway family had a problem: What were they going to do about the sign?
And not just any sign, but the La Rog Jewelers sign with the larger-than-life diamond that had occupied pride of place at SE 82nd and Foster Road since 1967.
'Tom Peterson owned the land [where the shop was located] and he sold it to a developer who is going to tear down the building. So we decided we wanted to move closer to the Clackamas Town Center area,' said Rick Rogoway.
He is co-owner, along with his brother David Rogoway, of La Rog Brothers, a full-service jewelry store, now located in Sunnybrook Center at 13033 SE 84th St., in Clackamas.
As the family contemplated the move, they knew they needed to come up with something special in regard to the sign.
'It was emotional - it's a landmark. People came and took pictures of it before the move,' Rick Rogoway said.
'Then Tyler came up with an idea,' he added.
Tyler Rogoway, David's son and Rick's nephew, suggested mounting the sign on a truck and wrapping the vehicle with information about the new store location.
'It's a work still in progress - it was a fun project, but it took a few challenges to make it happen,' Tyler Rogoway said, noting that the 11-foot tall sign has been refurbished and the diamond lights up at night.
He drives around in the truck, describing it as a 'moving billboard that the community can connect with on a visual and emotional level. People will follow me - everybody stares.'
David Rogoway added a sign to the back of the truck which says: Ladies - honk twice if you want a bigger diamond.'
Not surprisingly, 'people honk at me,' Tyler Rogoway said.
New location
La Rog Brothers opened in the new location just before Thanksgiving, and Rick Rogoway said he is pleased to be in the Sunnybrook Center.
'Customers enjoy it so much more - there is more parking and a better atmosphere and it is easier to get to,' he said.
He noted that the Rogoway family has been in the jewelry business since 1910 when the first store opened at 3rd and Alder in downtown Portland.
'My uncle Sam broke away in 1946 and moved to the 82nd and Foster location, where he called the shop La Rog - which was a combination of his wife's first name and his last name,' Rick Rogoway said.
When Sam died in 1960, Rick and David's father, Stan Rogoway, took over the store and built it up, adding the landmark sign in 1967.
Rick Rogoway said he and his brother 'grew up' in the 82nd and Foster location, where they started working when they were '8 or 9 years old.'
Tyler Rogoway described himself in exactly the same way, noting that he also grew up in the business, working at the Washington Square location when he was in high school and college. Although he helped out in the stores over the holiday season, he noted that he has other projects he is currently working on.
Rick Rogoway said that he and his brother are in the stores every day, as they are both 'hands-on owners.'
He added, 'It's a fun business. It's not just about making customers; it's about making friends and making people happy.'

Ever drop the switcheroo into the bilge? Forget about all that stuff. Now there's the WORX SC SemiAutomatic Driver from Rockwell. With a long-lasting lithium-ion battery and a rotating circular magazine that holds six different 1-inch-long hex-shanked bits (much like a revolver holds cartridges), the WORX SC automatically changes from bit to bit each time the magazine cover is snapped back.

A 3.23 gram sample of a sodium bicarbonate mixture was reacted with excess acid. 48.52 mL of the evolved gas was collected over water at 0.930 arm and 23.0 degrees Celsius. What is the percentage of sodium bicarbonate in the original mixture?
The pressure of water at 23.0 degrees Celsius is 0.028 atm
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Use PV = nRT and solve for n using the conditions in the problem. P that you substitute (in atm) is 0.930-(23.0/760) to correct for the fact it is collected over water and isn't dry. Then convert moles CO2 to moles NaHCO3 to grams NaHCO3 to percent NaHCO3.
This might be a stupid question, but why do I convert to moles of CO2 first?
Ok, so I've worked out the problem but I'm getting something like 6.6 x 10^-4 percent. That can't be right, can it?
Here's my work:
NaHCO3(s) + HCl(aq) ---> NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Pressure of the gas= pressure of atmosphere - pressure of 23.0 degrees Celsius (found from table in my chem book) this comes out to .930atm-0.0277atm= 0.902atm
moles of CO2:
n=PV/RT= (.902atm x (48.53 x 10^-3 mL))/ (.08206 x 296)= 0.00180 moles CO2
Moles of NaHCO3:
0.00180mol CO2 x 1 mol NaHCO3/ 1 mol CO2= 0.00180 moles NaHCO3
Mass of NaHCO3:
0.00180mol/84 grams= 2.143 x 10^-5 g NaHCO3
Percent= (2.143x 10^-5) / 3.32 grams all multiplied by 100
Here is where I'm getting that 6.6 something x 10^-4 or something percent. Is that even possible???

Similarly, ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' had a pair of videos that were reprisals of earlier cutscenes with the duo's commentary re-added.* AluminumChristmasTrees: Chip and KC Green have a hard time believing that [[HeroicMime John Luke]] is a real member of [[Series/DuckDynasty the Robertson clan]], and not an OriginalCharacter made up for the game. They're even more amazed when they realize [[ExpositionFairy Cousin Beaux]] ''is'' an original character.* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Happens at the beginning of "[[Manga/MadBull34 Bad Anime #2]]", where Chip put a {{NSFW}} message: "WARNING - Not Safe For Work - Murder, Gore, Sex, Sexism, Nudity, Attempted Rape, '''Brooklyn Accents'''"* AscendedExtra: ''Literature/RogueWarrior'' was initially just a video Chip made for the Something Awful Let's Try thread. Almost a full year later, it became its own separate LP for a bad games thread.* AsHimself: [[spoiler:Chip appears as one of Aiden's Privacy Invasion victims in TheStinger of the ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' LP.]]* AuthorAppeal: Ironicus sure loves his comic books. Also ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe''.** Chip has a thing for showing off as many GoodBadBugs as possible, especially those involving RagdollPhysics. He's also a massive Franchise/MetalGear fan.* BadassBaritone: Ironicus's deep, luxurious voice is much remarked upon. The vocal strain of the Gextra Life stream makes it so deep, the floor vibrates when he talks.* BatmanGambit: Chip pulls a hilarious one in the 19th episode of his ''Watch_Dogs'' LP, relying on ArtificialStupidity to get an easy kill during a mission. [[spoiler:Knowing that his target will get into a certain car and drive forward at full speed, he simply parks a car directly into its path... a car that has been covered with bombs.]]* BigWhat: Practically his catchphrase.* BrandX: Muuk Energy Drink as part of a TakeThat against blip.tv's video-partnering sponsorship program.* BrickJoke: Plenty.** ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'' has two - the first being Ironicus's reference to Theatre/{{Rent}} (which is alluded to in the credits for the LP), and the second being the doctor that Ironicus tells Chip to see, who appears in TheStinger for the ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' LP.** In the beginning of the ''[=MGS2=]'' LP, Chip enters the player name as "Suck my dick." The moment when Raiden pulls out his dog tags to reveal his "name" in the ending makes the whole journey worthwhile.** During the ''Spider-Man'' LP, the duo make mention of an Octocamo pattern in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' that makes Snake look exactly like The Shocker. It comes up again when they actually LP ''[=MGS4=]'', being brought up in the second update. Said camo doesn't appear until ''fifteen updates later''.* ButtMonkey: The other G-Unit members in ''VideoGame/FiftyCentBloodOnTheSand'' due to Chip constantly shooting and cussing at them, but ''especially'' Tony Yayo, the first one Chip brings along. It becomes a RunningGag to remark that everyone and everything (up to and including [[http://lparchive.org/50-Cent-Blood-on-the-Sand/Images/5-img_.jpg inanimate arcade machines]]) is better than Tony Yayo.* CatchPhrase: Ironicus will often say "This is the best game" whenever something really neat happens.** Chip says "STAR WARS!" so much during the Lego Star Wars LP that it constitutes as a temporary one, at least.-->'''Chip''': R2 no! R2 WHY?!** Chip seems to like saying "There's a man" whenever he's pointing out an enemy that will become the center of amazing things.** Ironicus is also quite fond of saying "The end, credits roll" when something ridiculous happens, or at points that'd make a good cutoff for a video. Heard a ridiculous amount during the mind boggling ending cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid 4.* TheCameo:** In the original ''No More Heroes'' LP, LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} and]] LetsPlay/{{Diabetus}} do "guest commentary" (actually unrelated Skype conversations with Chip about, respectively, the thread for the LP and books) for the Bitter Mode runs of Holly Summers and Speed Buster.** Also, Creator/EdwynTiong (aka [[VideoGame/TheTrappedTrilogy Dan McNeely]], aka [[WebAnimation/{{Xin}} Legend]]) ending ''VideoGame/TheYouTestament'' LP with a dramatic reading of two of [=MDickie's=] ([[SmallNameBigEgo incredibly egotistical]]) journal entries.** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' was done by Chip and [=VoidBurger=], but during the Psycho Mantis fight General Ironicus is suddenly there after the first blackout. [=VoidBurger=] returns after the fight is over.** "The End" of ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' features readings of some of Creator/HideoKojima's tweets by other Something Awful regulars, including Voidburger, Baldurk, Blister, [[LetsPlay/FreelanceAstronauts Ferr]], and, again, slowbeef and Diabetus.* ContinuityNod:** In 'What If?' Mode of the Spider-Man LP, Scorpion and JJJ play Marco Polo, and Spider-Man says "Fish outta water!" Chip then gloats that there's something else to say in Marco Polo. Then, in part 6 of ''Uncharted 2'', Chip triggers the Marco Polo event. When Drake gets out of the pool he says "Fish outta water!" Chip then gloats about it again.** In the Trial #2 video during the ''Uncharted 2'' LP, Ironicus advertises his new CD, using the picture that Chip had used to show him in the Message to Ironicus video of the ''No More Heroes'' LP.** Early in the first ''Uncharted'', Chip talks up one of the first deaths he leaves in the video due to the ragdoll physics making it uniquely amusing. Upon hearing that the death happens while he's clambering over low cover, Ironicus immediately assumes he will be clipping into the cover and spazzing out upon dying, like the first death left on-video in ''50 Cent: Blood on the Sand''.** TheStinger of ''VideoGame/{{killer7}}'' has the reveal that [[spoiler:the LP never happened]], with Ironicus suggesting Chip see a psychiatrist. The stinger to ''Metal Gear Solid 3'', their next LP, has Chip actually visiting said psychiatrist (played by Ironicus).** In the introduction to Act 2 of ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', as Snake talks about how the data recovered at the end of ''2'' is a "load of crap", Chip jokes that "fighting the President with cyber-octo-arms" (aka Solidus Snake) is perfectly normal in comparison to the twelve founders of an ongoing conspiracy having been dead for a hundred years. Ironicus then claims that that's as weird as having world policy decided by one school in Washington - as ended up being the case in ''killer7''.* CutenessOverload: Ironicus in the Blade Wolf DLC of Revengeance.-->'''Ironicus:''' His paws are so ''cute'' when he pushes buttons!** The same thing happens earlier, during the Dwarf Gekko segment.* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Discussed in-universe by Chip during the VideoGame/WatchDogs LP in the context of one of the Privacy Invasion side events: since almost everyone in the game is an unlikable asshole, and those who aren't are usually being abused in some way by said assholes, the only thing you're left with is a gross, unpleasant feeling that doesn't make you want to get involved in the game's setting or story, making it "a cesspool of human misery".* DeadpanSnarker: Both of them, especially when playing games of... ''lesser'' quality.* DisproportionateRetribution: Ironicus assumes at a slow moment during the ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' LP that Chip is doing said LP merely because Ironicus made a comment on ''not'' LP'ing stealth games, which Chip then jokingly agrees with.-->''Hours of my life just for one offhand comment months ago.''* TheDreaded: Enemies wielding pipes are this in the ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' LP.-->'''Ironicus:''' I hate pipes...\\'''Chip:''' It's always the ''pipes'' that get me! It doesn't matter if it's ''laser brass knuckles'', or a ''katana'', or a ''laser sword''-\\'''Ironicus:''' Or a ''gun'', it's always the pipes.\\'''Chip:''' ''Always'' the ''pipes''!* EnsembleDarkhorse: Invoked during ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'' with P-Star; Ironicus quickly grows attached to him, and is especially enthused when [[spoiler: P-Star gets to participate in the {{Womb Level}}'s end boss]].* TheFaceless: Prior to his, Ironicus' and [=VoidBurger=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG0A9Ujgyjc appearance at the C2E2 Let's Play panel]], whenever Chip recorded a video of himself, ''just'' enough of his face was obscured to keep you wondering, but gave you a good idea.* FanNickname: InUniverse, during ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', Blade Wolf is almost always referred to as the "[[RobotDog dog-shaped]] RobotBuddy!"* FakeShemp: Ironicus in the ''Watch_Dogs'' stinger is played by [=VoidBurger=] wrapped in a sheet.* FriendlyFireProof: During their ''50 Cent: Blood on the Sand'' LP, they make a habit out of shooting the friendly NPC whenever there's downtime. This leaves a massive bloody stain on the wall, but their G-Unit companion doesn't even flinch.* FunWithSubtitles: Since the ''Duck Dynasty'' game didn't have any subtitles, Chip had to add them in himself. He took to opportunity to make some extra jokes along with them.-->''(Please help me, [[HeroicMime my voice has been stolen]]. The truck comes at six.)''* GainaxEnding: Often occurs whenever he ends an LP, [[TheStinger usually after the credits roll.]]** At the end of the ''No More Heroes'' LP (during the last Bitter Mode videos), parodying Creator/{{Suda51}}'s penchant for weird, nonsensical endings.** Another one for a Creator/Suda51 game at the end of the ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'' LP, where it turns out that [[spoiler:the LP never happened.]]** The ending of ''Metal Gear Solid 2'', between the rest of the ''Cabela's 2010'' demo and other SA regulars reading Hideo Kojima's tweets, had the duo reveal that ''they'' are the Patriots, and that the entire thread was part of the "T3 Plan" ("[[FunWithAcronyms Terrible Thread Testing]]") to see [[TakeThat just how bad an LP thread could possibly be]].** The final Duck Dynasty video, simply titled "jl", which is unadulterated SurrealHorror.* GenreShift: ''VideoGame/{{Rez}}'' and ''VideoGame/CondemnedCriminalOrigins'' were done by Chip alone, with subtitles instead of voice commentary (except in the eighth video for the latter). The first run through ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'' and ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}'' were also solo, though he still actually talked.** Not to mention any time he switches to a ''Cabela's'' hunting game mid-LP, most recently in the 'Trials' in the middle of Uncharted 2.** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'', after the first mission, is a [[CoOpMultiplayer literal co-op LP]] together with snarkcookie.* GirlOnGirlIsHot: [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Hilariously]] {{averted|Trope}} in his WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlC0eJ6m-1M "Yowie wowie!!!"]] Most of the video consists of two girls kissing, but [[spoiler:[[YaoiFangirl they're actually]] [[{{Cosplay}} dressed up as]] [[Anime/{{Naruto}} Naruto and Sasuke]] [[ScriptFic acting out a]] SlashFic.]]---> '''Chip Cheezum''': [[NauseaFuel I feel really weird right now.]] [[SickAndWrong This is wrong.]] [[AllMenArePerverts Usually I'd be like]] [[{{Squee}} "YEAAAAH!"]] [[NoJustNoReaction but I'm like "No, um, no..."]]\\'''General Ironicus''': [[ItMakesSenseInContext I'm boxing up that lamp and putting it in storage.]]* HadToComeToPrisonToBeACrook: Ironicus jokes that [[VideoGame/TheWonderful101 Wonder-Prisoner]] learned his bomb-making skills while inside Alcatraz.* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater Mission J. Frog.]]]] He was a true patriot.* HerrDoktor: Ironicus plays one in one of the bonus episodes for their ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' LP, overlapping with TheShrink.* HiddenDepths: It usually doesn't show up much in their Let's Plays or [=RPs=] but Ironicus has more than a little knowledge of sociology, as the ''50 Cent: Blood on the Sand'' LP showed. He also [[http://www.formspring.me/Ironicus/q/306647958554689318 apparently enjoys poetry]].** According to an offhand joke in Slowbeef's Let's Play of ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'', Ironicus is a sociology major.** He also shows off an impressive knowledge of Film/JamesBond trivia for ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}''.** In the ''Uncharted'' LP, Ironicus and Chip spend about a minute discussing which of several ice-skating techniques a particular ragdoll death animation resembled more.** Ironicus is also a ''huge'' history buff, to the point that he started [[Podcast/HistoryHoneys a history podcast with his wife]] in 2016.* HurricaneOfPuns: Ironicus makes up a string of train-related puns during Part 11 of the ''Uncharted 2'' LP.** He does it again, with arms and hands, during the Mistral fight in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''.* IWarnedYou: During ''Cabela's Dangerous Hunts'', Ironicus complains about the loud volume during a "On Rails"-segment, to which Chip responds: "I told you it would be loud."* KindheartedCatLover: Chip owns a couple of cats. One of them likes to jump on his desk while he's recording.** He also has at least one dog, offhandedly mentioning so while Ironicus discusses a breed of dog he'd like to own in the first ''No More Heroes'', and noting how his dad has to present their dog to him whenever they leave so said dog doesn't get lonely and think they've abandoned him in the 19th video of ''No More Heroes 2''.* KnifeNut: During his playthrough of ''Rogue Warrior'', Chip liked to forgo any gunplay in favor of just running up and stabbing everyone to death, even referring to the main character as a knife tornado.* LetsPlay: One of the most famous LP duos on Something Awful.* ManOfAThousandVoices: Chip frequently impersonates the characters in each game. Invoked repeatedly in the ''Metal Gear Solid'' LP, when [[RunningGag VoidBurger tries pressuring Chip]] into doing a [[VeteranInstructor Master Miller impression]].** [=VoidBurger=], on the other hand, does an ''absolutely perfect'' impression of [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]]. She also does a spot on impression of a squeaky voiced lets player when she guested on Retsupurae.** Ironicus is very adept at Solid Snake impressions. So is Chip.** Subverted during the ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'' LP, when Chip fails spectacularly (and hilariously) at doing a ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} impersonation.* MindScrew: Happens quite a few times throughout his Lets Plays, usually at [[GainaxEnding the end]] [[TheStinger of a game.]] ** To go along with the Psycho Mantis fight, Voidburger suddenly becomes Ironicus during the first Hideo Blackout. The second, Chip is now playing a hunting simulator as if it were a dad-themed RPG, while receiving Codec calls from himself trying to remember what he was actually supposed to be doing. The next video restores the game, and a third blackout after the boss fight brings back Voidburger.** The "uncut" versions for the fourth and sixth videos of the ''Condemned'' LP add audio of, respectively, Ironicus reading bad fanfiction to friends and Chip and Ironicus trying to play ''VideoGame/LinksCrossbowTraining'' together, both with (nearly-)unintelligible messages occasionally popping up. Between the seventh and eighth videos is also a video titled "House", consisting of a minute-long shot of a house while an unknown voice talks about how it "wants to meet you".** The last video for the Series/DuckDynasty LP. It's extremely unsettling, showing [[spoiler: the protagonist undergoing {{Body Horror}} while bringing in what may or may not be [[ApocalypseHow the apocalypse]] through the form of an old VHS tape]].* MistakenForGay: During a Let's Play by Voidburger, with Chip co-commentating, it's revealed that Voidburger's father thought that Chip was gay, due to his cleanliness.* MundaneMadeAwesome:** Feeding your cat in ''No More Heroes''.--->'''Chip''': Cat. Again.\\'''Ironicus''': We are number 8.[[note]]Chip just finished defeating the rank 8 assassin[[/note]]\\'''Chip''': WE'RE FEEDING IT!\\'''Ironicus''': Let's feed our cat now that we're number 8. We are the number 8th cat feeder in the world.\\'''Chip''': Yes! I'm on the cover of Cat Feeding Magazine!** Later on in their LP of the sequel, their [[ItMakesSenseInContext cat massaging]] is eventually sped up and set to thrash metal.* NamesTheSame: [[invoked]] [[RunningGag Milked for all its worth]] every time it happens, but special consideration must be given to ''Metal Gear Solid 4'''s [[Series/{{Scrubs}} J.D.]] and [[Film/{{BigMommasHouse}} Big Mama]].* NobodyPoops: Lampshaded:-->'''[=VoidBurger=]''': What is it with [[Creator/QuanticDream David Cage]] games and pissing? Why does everyone piss? Is he one of those people that found it unrealistic that, like, in ''Zelda'' Link never goes to the bathroom?\\'''Chip Cheezum''': That's like a thought that five-year-olds have, though! Like, I thought that when I watched Franchise/PowerRangers, like 'When do they pee?! They never pee! When do they go to the bathroom?!'* NonSequitur: Chip and his co-commentators tend to start new discussions in the middle of cutscenes. Not a problem if you're watching with Uncut Commentary, but if you're watching the edited version, it can drop you off mid-discussion with no prior context once gameplay resumes, seemingly coming off as this.* NoodleIncident: Played with during their ''VideoGame/{{Killer7}}'' playthrough. Played straight when Ironicus asks if Chip passed the question on his ''physics'' test related to ''gutting a deer with his bare hands''. Averted, when Chip, later in the video, explains that his physics professor took time out of class to show his students the ''decaying deer that had been sitting in his truck for hours''.-->''The tongue was hanging out, there were flies on its face it was...ugh.''* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: In the final battle of VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance, when [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong kicks Raiden like a football and he lands to the sound of a football crowd cheering,]] Chip hastily blurts outs "The [[spoiler:football crowd cheering]] is not me, that's in the cutscene!" * OneOfUs: [[invoked]] Judging by this bit of commentary from ''[=MGS4=]'':-->'''Otacon:''' [[ChildProdigy She]] believes she can find the answers inside a machine hooked up to the world... she spends every day inside the net, exploring...\\'''Chip:''' Usually just making new pages on TV Tropes.** There's also the page quote of him asking us specifically to not quote him ([[TemptingFate which happened anyway]]), and noting his page in ''No More Heroes 2'' [[http://chipandironicus.com/videos/nmh2/1u.html Episode 1]], also noting someone who edits the page.-->'''Chip:''' Damn you, Alex!* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In episode 10-2 of the Peace Walker LP, Chip and his co-op partner Snarkcookie are separated and she gets caught due to the game's AI being slightly smart for once. By the time Chip gets to her to help, she's just taking out the last guard that was surrounding her.* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Any time Chip comes up with an 'original' character, chances are his name will be 'Hank', whether he's Chip's player-character in ''VideoGame/TheYouTestament'', an {{expy}} for [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]], or Liquid Ocelot's "true identity".* OrphanedPunchline: A unique example, where in most cases due to [[AlternateDVDCommentary commentary during cutscenes only being hearable on a second audio track or in an "uncut" version of a video]], it's up to the viewer whether this trope is in effect or not. For instance, from Act 4 of ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', during a cutscene in the offices where the Grey Fox fight took place in during [=MGS1=], the duo start discussing the two MSX games in the series. For those watching the cut version, as soon as that cutscene ends and apparently apropos of nothing, Ironicus states that "they can retcon everything in [[VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake that game]] ''except'' for poisonous Zanzibar hamsters".* {{Padding}}:[[invoked]] During the last few videos of the ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' LP, Chip would deliberately do meaningless things just before cutscene triggers, joking that he's afraid of them.* PickyEater-->'''Chip:''' I hate most food because it doesn't taste like candy. * ProductPlacement: Invoked by Chip at the beginning of the ''Uncharted 2'' LP, trying to take advantage of blip.tv advertising money.-->'''Chip:''' Okay, look, Blip. There's a video game coming out, and I know you're going to advertise it, and I just want to say there's no better way to experience a video game than an Alienware gaming laptop, played at a local cafe.\\'''Ironicus:''' Yes. It makes you feel like you're in the game -- to such a degree that you may embarrass yourself in public, but that's okay, because the experience is so strong.\\'''Chip:''' Yes. This Alienware gaming laptop comes with haptic feedback so that your laptop rumbles just like a rumble pack. It's a little inconvenient, but it's so immersive you won't believe how amazing VideoGame/DukeNukemForever is.** This is followed by the second episode being littered with sudden, highly intrusive advertisements for various products and restaurants.* PutOnABus: Ironicus has had a nasty habit of turning up absent recently due to real life complications. It got to the point where the end of one of their [=LPs=] listed him as having died after recording.** TheBusCameBack: Since ''[=MGS4=]'', though ''Peace Walker'' in co-op was also done without him, because he doesn't have a [=PS3=].* RantInducingSlight: Ironicus compares R4 (played by Chip) to a Mac, causing Chip to give his opinion on Macintosh machines.--> "[=I AM AN OVERPRICED COMPUTER MADE FOR GRAPHICS DESIGNERS WHO ARE TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO ANYTHING WITH A PC=]"* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: {{Discussed|Trope}} during ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101''. Ironicus feels like ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' did this for Sunny, as opposed to Raiden, whom Ironicus never disliked. [[invoked]]* RhymesOnADime: "[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Time flies when]] [[spoiler: Goofy dies]]", and "[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII Jump in some hay,]] [[SoftWater and you'll be A-OK.]]"** "[[LampshadeHanging I'm a poet, and I didn't even know it!]]"* RunningGag: Switching abruptly to a ''Cabela's'' hunting game and acting like nothing is unusual about this.** Referencing ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' at least once per LP.*** Finally {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Ironicus in part 5 of Cabela's Dangerous Hunts.** Ironicus mispronouncing [[VideoGame/Uncharted2AmongThieves Lazarevic's]] name.*** After Drake and Sully come across an abandoned U-boat at the top of a very tall waterfall early in the first ''Uncharted'', with a very flimsy and improbable explanation about flooding and heading upriver, Chip and Ironicus (the latter in particular) start referring to beached boats and other such things in impossible locations for the rest of the game and the next as having "gone upriver".** Every time a member of the B&B Corps shows up in a cutscene during ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', Ironicus will say something to the effect of "[[FridgeLogic You know what]] [[BellisariosMaxim I don't like about]] Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast?" [[invoked]]** Ever since their Let's Play of No More Heroes, every "hard" mode in a given game must reference that "Many strong men await you".** During ''VideoGame/{{killer7}}'', voice clips of Travis from ''No More Heroes'' can occasionally be heard in the background when [[NamesTheSame the killer7 Travis]] is talking.*** Chip's inability to hit weakpoints on elbows is a recurring thing as well. At one point he only manages to hit an enemy's elbow weak point on the first shot [[EpicFail because it involved missing the elbow weak-point of the enemy]] he was ''actually'' aiming at.*** As well as making characters dance up and down the stairs in the Vinculum Gate.** An example that only lasts one video: [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Senator Armstrong]] [[ThatOneBoss is]] [[ThatOneAttack a]] [[HealingFactor jerk.]]** Chip and Ironicus getting more and more impressed with Alice in ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'', to the point where by the last levels, they're sure that she competently participated in the previous Earth Defense War, while being a fetus.** Chip's "Original Characters", which just amounts to poorly drawn picture or poorly edited pre-existing pictures, and they're always named "Hank."* TheScrappy: In ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'', Ironicus takes an ''instant'' dislike to Professor Shirogane. [[invoked]]** The duo also develops a dislike of Luka as the game carries on.** Chip seems to really hate [[Franchise/MetalGear Naomi Hunter]], especially in ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', to the point that when the first boss in the game disguises herself as Naomi, Chip responds by [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill shooting her with an RPG]].** '''[[{{VideoGame/Killer7}} Iwazaru]]''', to the point where Chip flat-out refuses to transcribe most of what he says or even talk to him unless absolutely necessary about halfway through the LP. He does admit however that Iwazaru starts making up for being so annoying by actively helping collect the color samples in the "Alter Ego" chapter.*** They seem to hate all the Remnant Psyches except for Travis and Yoo-Hyun, as they see them as entertaining in delivering exposition.** They also have a hate for most of the conversation transcript [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'', due to most of them being [[{{Jerkass}} massive assholes]].* TheScrooge: Chip gets accused of being this by Ironicus during the ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' LP, because he insists on only recording footage on Wednesdays and Sundays (where you can get a 20% discount on all items purchasable with [[GlobalCurrency Drebin Points]]), and only stops once he gets to Act 5, where those daily discounts are over (because you get a ''50%'' discount for the entire act).* SelfDeprecation:** When discussing childhood in the ''[=MGS1=]'' LP:--->'''Chip''': Everyone went, like, bonkers for gel pens. Even I did. I drew dragons and shit with them 'cause I was retarded as hell.** During the Bitter Mode fight against the final boss of ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', the two are discussing possible gimmicks for the video, and Ironicus suggests pretending they're fashion designers in the game's world:--> '''Ironicus:''' Ah, that'd be lame.\\'''Chip:''' Plus we'd have to sound gay, and we... ''(Ironicus laughs)'' Well, that's us all the time, so.\\'''Ironicus:''' I've had enough of that!** Late into ''Metal Gear Solid 3'', Chip calls attention to a Viddler comment on one of their earlier videos which referred to the pair as "Shit Shitzum" and "General Lack of Intelligence". Ironicus responded by saying it was "pretty accurate".* SelfImposedChallenge: Chip achieved the "Tsuchinoko" rank in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' by capturing said animal and keeping it with him for the entire game. In the stream of ''[[VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}} Indigo Prophecy]]'', he apparently aimed to pee in every single toilet in the game.* ShoutOut: Tons, seeing as both Chip and Ironicus are very much OneOfUs.-->'''Ironicus:''' ''I was [[Franchise/{{Superman}} born on the planet Krypton]] where my parents were [[Comicbook/SpiderMan bitten by a radioactive spider]] which [[Franchise/{{Batman}} killed them before my very eyes]] so I was sent on a small spaceship to the planet Earth [[Franchise/WonderWoman as an envoy of the Amazons]] where [[ComicBook/FantasticFour I passed through cosmic radiation which gave me many powers]] though when I landed I crashed into radioactive waste which [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} blinded me, but heightened my other senses]]; since I landed [[Comicbook/TheFlash I bonded with the Speed Force]] and met with [[Comicbook/GreenLantern a representative of the Guardians of Oa who gave me a power ring]] in order to defend [[Comicbook/CaptainAmerica truth, justice, and the American way]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Please let me into]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments your comic house!]]''** ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' #12 was titled [[{{LetsPlay/Slowbeef}} Longshoreman]] [[VideoGame/DeadToRights X]].** Chip even manage to give a shout-out to ''{{MarbleHornets}}'' of all things; At the start of his Bitter fight with [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Dr. Shake]], the video cuts out with the same level of video and audio distortion that is present in MH. Even the video's title is synonymously named after them: "Pewter Bumblebees".* ShownTheirWork: Frequently. For example, during Metal Gear Solid 4, Ironicus opined that it would be cooler to have the Octocamo suit capable of mimicking motion in real time, and Chip responds that Konami tried it and found it would take too much processing power. [[note]]Stealth Camo is usable by Snake in a NewGamePlus, but it basically just turns his model to glass.[[/note]]* SophisticatedAsHell: In ''Blood On the Sand'', General Ironicus launches into a long reading about the sociological implications of ghetto vernacular from ''American Aparteid''. At the end, he says "In conclusion, stop typing like you're ghetto, you fat white kids at your computers, God damnit!"* StealthParody: Chip's alter-ego, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ChippoWai Chippowai]]. An insanely creepy, easily-distracted and only seldomly comprehensible otaku who's pretty much a gross exaggeration of bad Website/YouTube [=LPers=] and people who defend them.* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Ironicus and Chip, respectively, tend to commentate as this, with Ironicus usually having a much more level-headed approach. There's a bit of interlap, however, considering Ironicus' leaps of logic, and Chip's focus on being informative in his [=LPs=].* SurrealHorror: The final Series/DuckDynasty video, simply titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZDtSwyIjwI "jl"]].* StylisticSuck: The video for the Bitter Mode "run" of [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Letz]] [[TheUnfought Shake]] is done in a typical bad LP fashion, complete with jittery webcam footage.** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJSbId_W-U His trailer]] for the Let's Play Wanking Session also has elements like terrible chroma keying, [[CopyCatSue Hank the Chog]], and INTUITIVE BORDERS.* TakeThat: The announcement that their ''WebAnimation/ElementalGoddess'' videos were being hosted on their website came with an instructional video from Chip on character design. Where he tapes a picture of [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] to a drawing desk, [[CopyCatSue sloppily traces over it with markers and names it Hank.]]* TemptingFate: In the first part of ''VideoGame/TheYouTestament'' Let's Play, Ironicus wonders why you would ever need to jump in the game. [[spoiler: This, combined with wonky game design, was what ended up making the game unwinnable in the last video.]]* [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill There Is No Tranquilizing Like Overtranquilizing]]: In [=MGS4=], when Chip fails to maximize an enemy's crying meter, he simply knocks him out and practically covers his face and body in tranquilizer darts.* ThisIsGonnaSuck: During the Rank 1 Bitter Mode fight in No More Heroes 2, Chip mentions that the fight footage was recorded around ''when he first got the game,'' roughly ''two full years prior.'' The reason? He started that fight on Bitter then, saw how incredibly hard it was going to be, and decided to record it right then and there just so, when he got to the inevitable LP, he would never have to play that fight on that difficulty ever again.[[labelnote:*]]According to him, that fight took him 96 minutes, and he died 18 times during the course of it.[[/labelnote]]* TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Chip and Ironicus have a hard time explaining the timeframe in ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRBHhHwj84w MINECRAFT]]'':--> '''Ironicus''': "At a point, isn't there a point where you have to start being skilled?", I thought at the time, is what I said then in the past!\\'''Chip''': "I don't know how long I can keep doing this! I'm dying!" I said in the past.\\'''Ironicus''': I also had a hard time keeping straight the timeline of events! On the one hand, there was, at the time, her speaking in black and white, and then there was her speaking in color, which happened before that, and also before I was talking about it originally, which was before I'm talking about it now, and in the color part she's talking about an ''even-further-back time''!* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chip loves his pizza.* UpdatedRerelease: The last few updates of their ''[=MGS2=]'' LP got re-uploaded to Website/YouTube with "Uncut" versions, similar to the second audio track found in their later LP's from ''Uncharted'' on. All of the LP's with second audio tracks later had their Uncut versions reuploaded in the same manner after the duo switched over entirely to Youtube from Blip.* VocalDissonance: Ironicus. You wouldn't expect a rich, smooth baritone like his to come from [[http://angietusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/photo-26.jpg the first man sitting on the left.]]* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Done often at the end of games after the credits, with highly unlikely results for the characters, usually ending in a preview for the next LP.** The very end of ''50 Cent: Blood on the Sand'' was a ''Metal Gear Solid 3''-style timeline of future events involving the cast, ending with a "[[GratuitousFrench Les Fiddy Teribles]]" project producing clone sons of 50 Cent. [[spoiler:All of this being a lead-up to the ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' LP.]]** At [[http://chipandironicus.com/videos/mgs4/46.html the very end]] of the ''Metal Gear Solid 4'' LP, showing what happened to the cast after the end of the game. [[spoiler:This one was more to disagree with the extended ending of the game. Nope, Snake really did commit suicide in the graveyard, honest!]]* WrestlingDoesntPay: Ironicus discusses this in the lead-up to the Battle Royale event in ''No More Heroes 2'', specifically noting how, as the UAA has apparently shifted from a clandestine organization of assassins to basically the Wrestling/{{WWE}}, assassination has as such gone from the actual point of the organization to just the "second job" all the performers pretend they do when they're not "in the ring" and fighting each other to climb the ranks.* YouMonster: Ironicus calls Chip this late in ''[=MGS4=]'', after Chip recounts an incident in ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} IV'' where he lost an aircraft carrier to [[DeathOfAThousandCuts a single tribalman chucking spears at it]].-->''[[WhatTheHellHero Why were you attacking tribalmen with an aircraft carrier?]]''----

Quote of the Day:
"Government doesn't work."
-- Harry Browne
Subject: Government vs. You
In 1871 the city of Chicago burned to the ground. There was no FEMA or large federal funding to rebuild it. Instead, the people of Chicago rebuilt their own city and in short order it soared to new heights.
In 1906, after a major earthquake, the city of San Francisco also burned down. There was no FEMA or large federal funding to rebuild it. Instead, the people of San Francisco did it themselves and the city was soon restored.
In 2005 a large part of the city of New Orleans was destroyed when a levy, designed, built, and maintained by government, proved inadequate to protect against a hurricane that was far from the worst that could have struck the city. Private citizens and businesses such as Wal-Mart rushed to the city's aid, but were largely blocked by federal officials. FEMA and large federal funding were there to rebuild the city, but today much of New Orleans still lies in ruins.
We see the evidence all around us, where government seeks to help, harm often follows. Education, food, energy, and medical care are all areas where the government alleges it helps you, but all are areas where prices are rising faster than in other sectors.
Government doesn't work, because government has no incentive to succeed. Instead, government prospers by failing -- constantly gaining new power and resources because of the crises it creates.
Meanwhile, we see companies like Wal-Mart working effectively to lower the cost of prescription drugs, and Walgreens is opening discount medical clinics in thousands of their stores to lower the cost of routine health care. We see home schoolers providing vastly better academic results. And we see private innovation that will lower the cost of energy and protect the environment . . .
- A company called Sunrgi has just announced a design for photovoltaic cells that promises to make solar power competitive with other sources of electricity.
- A research team at Stanford has created a battery technology that is ten times more efficient than existing batteries.
- And an oil company, Exxon, has also produced an improved battery technology that will LOWER THE DEMAND FOR THEIR OIL by making hybrid cars more cost effective.
The same is true of the problem of government itself. The solution to "the government problem" will not come from politicians. It will come from innovative private entities such as Downsize DC.
Stated another way, you will not solve the problem of government by somehow electing the right politicians to do the job for you, from the top down. Instead . . .
You will only solve the problem of government by compelling politicians, from "the bottom up," to lessen the harm caused by Big Government. And just as innovative firms solve problems by lowering costs -- constantly doing more with less -- Downsize DC is also trying to lower the cost you pay to solve "the government problem."
For just a few cents per day, from a few hundred more DC Downsizers making monthly pledges, we could reach the take-off point, beyond which every additional dollar we raise could be devoted to outreach that would . . .
- Recruit more DC Downsizers faster
- Spread the word about things like the "Read the Bills Act" and the "One Subject at a Time Act"
- And exert more bottom-up pressure to COMPEL politicians to solve "the government problem."
So . . .
As you relax from your labors this weekend, ask yourself, has the age-old attempt to elect the right people to office worked? Has it enabled you to accomplish more with less, or has it constantly required you to pay more and more and more with little measurable return?
We recognize that we are selling a new paradigm that clashes with habitual modes of thought. We know that only constant repetition can carve a new groove in the public mind to make a place for this new paradigm. But we believe in this new paradigm and in the power of repetition, and so we push . . . and push . . . and push.
We will be back to work on Monday, meanwhile . . .
- Start a monthly credit card pledge. It could be as low as a few cents per day -- $3, $5, $10, $15, $20, or $25 per month. Or, . . .
- Help us earn a $1,000 matching contribution from DC Downsizer James Marquart. You can do so by making a one-time donation of $100 or more -- your contribution will be worth $200 to us. Or, . . .
- Help us with whatever size contribution you can afford.
Your contribution is our budget. Your investment is our expansion. You can contribute here.

" Brand: Sainsbury's / Type: Other Ready Meals "
Sainsburys Basics Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce is a stupendously cheap 14p for a 410g tin. As far as I'm concerned that is cheap as chips!
As you would expect, the spaghetti comes in a standard can which you can open with a can opener (no ring pull for 14p I'm afraid). This minor inconvenience aside, the packaging is perfectly sufficient and contains all the pertinent nutritional info you would require in an easy to read and clear format.
Taste wise it is not amazing but neither is it inedible. The Spaghetti has a nice soft texture and the tomato sauce is rich and flavoursome. It lacks the tangy zip of the Heinz variety, but you would expect that seeing as this is about a third of the price of the branded varieties. Suffice it to say that this made a perfectly good spaghetti on toast for a net cost of less than 20p (especially when using Sainsbury's Basics bread aswell).
This isn't Sainsbury's Basics finest moment but it is a really good value product that is perfectly acceptable in the taste department. It is probably best to avoid serving this at your dinner parties but if you are just slumming around the house and fancy a quick snack, it's great!
Sainsbury's basics range Spagetti.
I have been spending quite a bit of time in my local supermarket, because of the hours that I work I love Sainsbury's because they have a tendancy to stay open until quite late at nite, which is great as sometimes im not getting out of my workplace until really very late.
I have been buying the Sainsbury's range (Basics) because they are a little bit cheaper and save me quite a bit of money. I have purchased the Basics range of Spagetti which I brought for less than thirty pence, which is great.
This product comes in a tin, which doesnt look too fancy but is great value for money. This comes in a can and has a orange and white label on it, nothing too fancy but thats probably what makes their products so cheap is the packaging, being simple and basic obviously saves a bit of money.
The spagetti comes in a tomato sauce, and it comes in a can containing four hundred and ten grams, and is suitable for vegetarians too.
Half a can of this spagetti im told contains just under a hundred calories, so even with eating the whole can thats not too bad. I find that this spagetti tastes great, and does have a tomato sauce, and thats ok too.
I like to have a bit of spagetti with my toast as a snack but also I like to have it on the side of my plate especially when having fish fingers or burgers or sasages with chips or mash, which can be a bit dry on their own, so I like this spagetti because it offers a nice addition to any meal.
I find that this is also great if you pop this in between two slices of bread, buttered sides up and pop it into a sandwich toaster, makes a nice piping hot filling for your toastie, and also I find that this fills me up to.
Contains fat at 0.6grams, total sugars at 8.2grams, sat fat at 0.2grams and salt at 1.0grams. Contains protein, Carbohydrates. Fibre and a little salt too
I liked the taste of this spagetti, not the best but really tasted quite good and I am happy with the can I brought, and I will be buying this again soon.
Try it for your self and see what you think .
** Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce **
As part of our weekly grocery shopping we tend to buy quite a lot of supermarket cheap home brands as they can often represent good value. Sainsbury's cheap own brand product range is called basics.
I like a lot of egg based meals and snacks so we picked up a few cans of Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce for a mere £15p last week.
When I'm cooking or to be honest snacking for myself I almost always use the microwave to cook. So I opened my 410 gram can of Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce with a can opener as there is no ring pull on top of the can to open it. But at this price that is not something I would criticise Sainsbury's for.
I poured the contents into a microwavable dish and was greeted by a nice sweet smell rising from the un-warmed spaghetti. The spaghetti itself looked perhaps a tiny bit limp but not unappetising.
The thing that didn't impress me was the huge amount of tomato sauce in the tin. The tin was choc full to the top with tomato sauce and although the tomato sauce looked fine the actual spaghetti occupied far less space in the can. I'd estimate that the spaghetti in a tin of Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce probably only actually filled up two thirds of the can.
After 3 minutes in the microwave I poured the spaghetti on my plate with my poached egg and let it cool for a moment. The aroma was more intense after heating, as you would expect. The spaghetti still looked a bit limp and in danger of being outnumbered by the quantity of tomato sauce even though I left some of the tomato sauce still in the microwave dish to be discarded later.
Taste wise Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce was actually quite nice. Maybe not as flavoursome as Heinz but not bad for 15p at all.
** my conclusion **
For the price it is hard to find too many faults with Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce. The taste is quite good and the only mistake I made was to not tip away more of tomato sauce before serving it. That would have stopped my poached egg on toast getting so soggy for one thing. But as long as you think of Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce as being 2 thirds of a can of spaghetti with lots of extra tomato sauce you won't go far wrong.
Thanks for reading my review.
Mike xx
Sainsbury's basics spaghetti in tomato sauce is priced at the extremely low price of 14 pence. When I added these into my basket while doing my weekly shop online I was yet to find out what they were really like.
The next day when I receive my products, I really fancied some spaghetti on toast. Once I opened the can I was slightly shocked at that it looked more like tomato soup than it did spaghetti. After then pouring the tin into a pan I popped it on the hob and gave it a stir to find that the can was only three quarters full with spaghetti and the rest was sauce.
The spaghetti its self taste nice on toast and was a big hit with my daughter. The only fault with it was the lack of spaghetti within the tin. It is full with tomato flavours and doesn't taste bland like i thought it would off.
I've very easy to cook you can either pop it on the hob for 3 to 4 minutes or in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.
Half a can of spaghetti contains 99 calories and 0.6grams of fat.
Overall this is a product I would purchase again I was just slightly disappointed that the can wasn't full. But my daughter loves them and priced at only 14 pence I suppose I can't really complain.
I thought tonight I would treat you to a review of Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce, this was not something either my wife or I chose to buy it was in fact in a hamper my son won just before Christmas at a charity fund raiser.
I guess Sainsbury must have donated the hamper as it was mainly full of Sainsbury own brand goods, many of them very good I am sure but this spaghetti was not one of them.
I have checked up on the price and can tell you that it apparently costs only 14p per tin and I have to say that is very noticeable when eating it.
The sauce is the first thing I noticed to be very different from Heinz; it was very watery and very sweet.
The strands of spaghetti were very small as if they were mainly broken pieces and also very thin, taste wise there was very little of the rich tomato taste you get from the Heinz version, there was just an odd and rather sweet fakeness to the whole affair.
I had mine on toast and once I decided to grate a little cheese over it then it was just about edible but on its own it was a very poor tasting spaghetti that I certainly would not buy nor recommend.
Sainsbury's Basics Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce costs only 14p per standard sized 410g can. That's the same as most of the value brands offer their tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce for. This comes in an old fashioned style can which has to be opened using a tin opener. No ring pulls in this price range I'm afraid.
Tinned spaghetti is a big favourite with the grandson, so from time to time I pinch a can to have as a quick, hot snack. I've tried the Asda version, the Tesco version and this Sainsburys version to date. Obviously I've also had the premium stuff like Heinz, but I'm focusing on the value brands here. I've not been a huge fan of the other value versions, but this one is different.
The first thing I noticed when I opened a can of this stuff was that the sauce was thicker and darker than it is in the Tesco and Asda versions. It's a lot sweeter, saltier and has a stronger tomato taste than the other versions are, which probably explains why it looks thicker and tastier. The spaghetti is soft and plentiful, and complimented perfectly by the tasty tomato sauce.
For 14p you have to try this if you usually like this sort of thing. To be totally honest, I can't taste the difference between this and a can of Heinz, and yet I really could do when I ate the Asda and Tesco value versions.
This isn't just cheap and tasty, but reasonably healthy too. A can of this contains around 200 calories, 1g of fat and 16g of sugar. That's really quite acceptable for a meal. The only thing to be wary of is the salt content, which is around 2g per can. That's not too bad for an adult, but that's something to think about if you're giving this stuff to a small child.
I am now a Sainsburys basics convert and am trying a number of products over the coming weeks.
This one was a surprise, it cost 14p for 410gram can. Its suitable for vegetarians and is low fat for all us weight watches.
It comes in the basics tin and the packeraging is quite boring. On opening I was surprised to find the spaghetti upto the top of the can, usually with lesser brands you have at least an inch of tomato sauce.
The spaghetti strands are about an inch long and the tomato sauce is thick , red, rich and creamy.
On pouring out it has a thick consistancy, and when heating through it maintains this. It advises heating with a saucepan on the hob or by popping into the microwave for 5 minutes with a 650w or 4 minutes with a 800w.
It smelt devine and on the initial taste test, it wasnt any different from premium brands, the spaghetti was soft and the tomato, not over tomatoey.
Each half of can has inside
99 calories
0.6g fat
8.2g sugar (which is a little high) but that includes natural
1g of salt
0.2g sat fat
So its not calorie ladened and makes a satisfying , filling meal on toast at any time of day.
Now for the ingrediants.
Tomatoes 48%
Cooked Spaghetti 42%
Glucose Fructose Syrup
Modified Maise Starch
Acidity Regulator
Citric Acid
Ground Paprica
Wheat flower
Onion powder
Word of warning : contains wheat gluten for you allergy sufferers
My son and I shared a tin between us and I know some brands you cant replace but at the moment, this is a replacement that we`re sticking too because, its not noticeable the difference to other brands until you look at the packaging

Thumbs up from me
I decided to try this after reading a review by xxfoxy-redxx - check her out she's good! Anyway isn't it odd I decided to try this after someone said it wasn't very good? Probably, but I do like to try things and see if I like them. After all it is Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce, is it that hard to get wrong?
This is part of the Sainsbury's Basics range, which is the cheapest range in the shop. It is a budget brand, but i've found some good things in the cheaper ranges. This cost me 14p for a 410g tin. Since I had this on Toast for my lunch, then I can write about it now.
The packaging isn't that exciting. It is a tin which has a white label going all the way around it. The writing is in orange and it doesn't even have a ring pull opener - how bad! So it was off to dig the can opener out from the back of the drawer. There is always some odd squiggle drawing on the Sainsbury's Value products, and this is of a fork on the front.
You can cook this in a pan which doesn't take long, but I normally pop this in a bowl and put in the Microwave for 3 minutes. That is long enough, and you will see the Sauce bubbling around the side and the product is hot all round.
The 2 things that stood out when I put this in a bowl to cook. The strands of Spaghetti were quite small. I don't care much for the huge long strands which heinz has. I get all messy over my face, so it wasn't a problem that the Spaghetti from here is pretty small. It did seem quite thin through, and pretty floppy, but again i'm sure I was looking to pick fault with this anyway, as Spaghetti is normally floppy. The Sauce was runny and looked light orange instead of having a bit deep orange colouring to it. The sauce did thicken slightly after cooking, but not that much. As a result I found that the Sauce soaked into my Toast pretty good which I like, but left behind bits of Spaghetti with no covering.
Also the Sauce did taste a little Tomato-y, but there wasn't the nice herb-y, rich Tomato-y taste you get with heinz. I think this also tasted a bit unflavoured and a splash of Salt and pepper would have made all the difference to this. Yes, I could have added it myself, but i'm not used to doing that with tinned Spaghetti.
It was perhaps edible, but the brand name wins the contest this time, as it had a lot more positive points!
Anyone who regulary reads any of my reviews will be very much aware that A) I am a lazy cook and don't eat properly and B) I love toast. Because of my love of all things toasted I always look for toppings when out shopping. When I saw this spaghetti costing 14p a can in my local Sainsbury's it seemed a bit of a bargain so I decided to try a can!
The Packaging:
410g in weight the can has a white and orange label around it. On the front of it I'm told it is Sainsbury's 'Basics' Spaghetti (there's a scribble of some spaghetti hangiing off a fork) Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce 'Different sauce, same on toast' and there is an at a glance nutritional chart on there and I'm told it is Vegetarian. On the back of the can other information includes a full nutritional breakdown, ingredients and allergy advice is given (contains wheat gluten), I'm told how to store it and heat it through and contact details for Sainsbury's are given. Cheap looking can this is but it's informative enough.
How To Heat:
In a saucepan on a hob for 5-6 minutes or in a microwave for 4-5 minutes.
Me And The Spaghetti:
Well I opened my can up to be greeted with an orange juice and in that small strands of spaghetti. It smelt like canned spaghetti usually smells (of tomato sauce and spaghetti really lol) and I actually put mine in a dish and cooked it in the microwave. It cooked through well in the time stated and the thin orange sauce I'd originally seen (when not heated through) did appear to thicken up ever so slightly.
The problem with this spaghetti in the main was that the strands were so small they went incredibly soggy and tasted that way. The whole thing didn't really taste seasoned and the sauce...well although it wasn't awful only had a hint of tomato flavour to it. It was edible don't get me wrong but in the taste stakes you really can tell it's economy. In my house my Mum only buys Heinz spaghetti and if I got this and heated it up instead of that and not let her know there is no doubt in my mind I'd get it thrown back at me because you really can tell!
Not bad for the price and please don't get me wrong it isn't vile and is worth the money but it's not for me unless starving. I'm not into soggy bits of spaghetti I'm afraid lol.
Nutrional Information Per Half A Can:
Calories: 99
Fat: 0.46g
Saturated Fat: 0.2g
Salt: 1.0g

Dow Jones Industrial Average trades above record closing high
U.S. stocks rose to records Monday aided by a jump in oil prices and a pullback in the dollar.
The S&P 500 index rose 10 points, or 0.5%, at 2,192, trading above its closing record and touching an intraday record of 2,193.84. Nearly all of the 11 main S&P 500 sectors were trading in the green with energy leading gains, up 2%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 55 points, or 0.3%, to 18,922, while the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 31 points, or 0.6%, to 5,353, settingits intraday record at 5,359.90.
"The path of least resistance in stocks at the moment is to go higher, while this week is light on the news as well as shortened by Thanksgiving holiday," said Maris Ogg, president at Tower Bridge Advisors.
Ogg cautioned that people might be reading too much into President-elect Trump's future economic policies, that have been fueling the rally.
"Stocks have rallied since the election on a lot of talk and no action so far, but it's a classic jump to conclusions that when coupled with high valuations usually don't end well," Ogg said, adding that it's prudent to be cautious about stocks.
Since Election Day and the surprise presidential election win for Donald Trump, the Dow has climbed 2.9%, the S&P 500 has gained 2%, and the Nasdaq has risen 2.5%.
A sharp rally in the dollar and 10-year Treasury yields last week dampened the postelection stock rally on Friday.
But on Monday, the dollar eased slightly, with the ICE Dollar Index , which measures the currency against a basket of six currencies, down 0.2% to 100.96, while the 10-year Treasury yield fell 4 basis points to 2.23%.
Investors also welcomed comments from Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds-fischer-says-fiscal-policy-can-help-boost-productivity-and-lift-rates-2016-11-21), who said fiscal policy can do more to help the economy--and even lift interest rates.

"It is becoming clear that market participants have digested the Trump reality with most waiting for further news relating to Trump's economic team which could provide additional clarity on how he plans to lead the U.S. economy," said Lukman Otunuga, FXTM researchanalyst in a note.
A pause for reflection could come in a week where volume traditionally thins out as traders head out for the Thanksgiving Day holiday (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-when-markets-close-on-black-friday-2016-11-18). Markets will shut Thursday and then close early on Black Friday, the traditional kickoff to holiday shopping.

(HW). Boral said it wanted to increase exposure to "positive momentum" being seen by the U.S. industry, driven by hopes for more infrastructure spending by Trump. Headwaters shares rose 18% in premarket.

The rise in oil prices came after Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly said Sunday that he was optimistic about a output-cut deal at the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries meeting on Nov. 30. He also said his country was ready to freeze production if asked.
"While loose terms may be agreed, I remain skeptical that a full detailed agreement can be both achieved and carried out byOPEC given the clear differences that are so evident between certain key members," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA, in a note to clients.
European stocks saw a largely flat open, while Asian finished mixed (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/asian-stocks-rise-on-encouraging-economic-news-2016-11-20). Gold prices rose modestly, up $5.30, or 0.4%, while December copper rose 5 cents, or 2.2%, to $2.5225 a pound.

This isn't gonna help the gay rumors
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence at a screening of Silver Linings Playbook in L.A. (11/19)
Bradley Cooper says he would never sleep with Jennifer Lawrence because she's too young. WTF? She's not Dakota Fanning. No one's gonna think you're a pedophile. From Entertainment Tonight:
Nancy O'Dell caught up with Golden Globe nominee Bradley Cooper backstage at [Sunday]'s Golden Globe Awards. When asked by O'Dell to address the persistent rumors that he is dating Jennifer Lawrence, his co-star in Silver Linings Playbook, Cooper responds, "If it didn't happen by now, it's not gonna happen…I could literally be her father."
Wow, Bradley isn't interested in uber hot Jennifer Lawrence because he could "literally be her father." I'm obviously not hip the current jive talkin' you kids are all blabbing, but is "too young" another way of saying "I need a hot, throbbing cock jammed into my backside"? If age differences in their relationships don't seem to bother alpha males like George Clooney, Ryan Seacrest, or Hugh Hefner then . . . wait a second, maybe Brad is onto something there. Maybe not bearding out hot chicks is the new way actors stay in the closet. Now that I think about it, where has Gilligan been hiding the last couple of years?

Rock festivals fighting financial washout
By Marton Dunai
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - The Prodigy or Fatboy Slim are not enough to persuade Dorina Keresztes to fork out for a rock festival ticket this summer. She says she will find other ways to party.
"Lounging in a park drinking wine with friends is, you know, free," said the 22-year old student from Budapest.
Glastonbury in Britain may be a sell-out, but in the north and east of Europe from Denmark's Roskilde to Romania's B'esfest and Hungary's Sziget, the uncertainties of recession are making 2009 as a rock festival 'summer of love' a hard sell.
As some sponsors pull out, the discounts on offer look geared to publicity. Bring 45 people to Sziget -- usually Europe's third-largest event after Roskilde and Glastonbury -- and all can go half price, organizers say.
Other festivals are postponing planned price hikes, particularly in eastern Europe where the crisis has fallen on countries with already much slimmer economic cushions than in the West. Many have had to scale back.
As a purely discretionary pastime, festivals have to strike the right balance between price and value, says Christof Huber, general secretary of Yourope, an organization of Europe's summer festivals. "That could be difficult this year."
