Stranded in a Bar for Eight Days

Oh, the horror! Five employees and two patrons were stranded at Lion Inn in North Yorkshire, England due to heavy snow. The inn is also a bed-and-breakfast, equipped with plenty of food, telephone and internet service, and alcohol. Chef Daniel Butterworth told of the harrowing ordeal.
At first the staff, all aged under 25, got stuck into the drinks, he said, but on the third day they eased off.

"We haven't been getting ratty," he said. "It's been fun and we have had a laugh.

"We have been getting on with little jobs, having our tea, a drink, playing games and then going to bed.

"The bosses aren't here, they are snowed out.

"We have wireless internet here and the television works so we have been fine."

During the day, the couple and staff managed to get out onto the snow on improvised sledges made from beer trays.

Rescue came when snowplows finally broke through and the road was officially open by Saturday night. Link -via Arbroath

Considering the fact that just the smell of an open bag of any of the more conventional varieties of Doritos is enough to make me want to vomit...NO, thank you.

It's like when my co-worker told me I just have to try those Loaded Chili/Cheese Ruffles, cause "they're the bomb."

I replied, I'd rather just have chili and cheese, not a fake taste. No for me.

I don't like chips anymore (used to as a kid), any kind, regardless of the "taste".

Oh and you better check the ingredients: Five Foods That Cause Anal Leakage.

Bon appétit.
