Important question

[nath]

What's so tough to grasp - forgetting for the moment that rounds is a stupid ass way to refer to sarnies, it's pretty obvious.

1 toast = one slice of bread, toasted.

1 sandwich = two slices of bread with filling.

Ergo, one round of bread is a slice, one round of sandwich is two, and some filling.

But seriously, regional or no - it's a stupid term :\

Matthew
14:16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
14:17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
14:18 He said, Bring them hither to me.
14:19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and so did cut the bread into slices, taking 4 slices of bread and some fish he did place some fish on one slice and then did place another slice on top, then he did repeat the action, looking out onto the crowd he did say, here I have made two rounds of sandwiches to feed thee all.
14:20 A disciple looked upon the lord and did say, my lord have you not created four rounds of sandwiches there?
14:21 The lord did not speak, he did look upon the disciple and with his heat ray vision did melt him like the blasphemer he was.
14:22 And so they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
14:23 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

So sayeth the lord.

How many rounds is that Trem, you chuffing muncher

PS Stoke is gay, I drive past it regularly and they're all at it.

Do you drive down here to steal some wheel trims or for a drug deal?

No you don't. I will get my mates to join here and post their replies, my mum as well.

No you don't. I will get my mates to join here and post their replies, my mum as well.

So you're going to get the same person to post multiple times?

 

[TdC]

eh? is Trem his own mum? I always knew he was a bit dodgy, but a hermy to boot? rah

Sort your eyes out teedy, I know how much you love your hobby, but cracking a few out over breakfast is really going to ruin your sight.

Now this sounds controversial, but I'm going to use the blind, confusing, inescapable and deluded logic, so familiar with many Freddysworlders.

The OED definition of "round" refers back to its historical root meaning "one of", as in a "round number". The meaning is a widely defined quantity as you can have a "round of golf" (all 18 holes played once), a "round of drinks" (little known amongst most FWers, but meaning everyone gets one drink), and a "round of ammo" (enough to kill one Badger from a big ass shotgun).

Generally the terminology is "enough for one", be that a single person, a single family, a single defenceless furry animal.

Now (stay with me on this), when you argue about the existance of God with a true believer, you are destroyed by your own argument because the proof that God exists is standing in front of you inside the mind of the believer, so it is important to understand the mind of those who believe in strange and wonderful things, no matter how unreasonable thay may seem to you.

People from up north (Watford) generally have the air of growing up in a kind of "150 of us living in shoebox in middle t'road" way; poor, impoverished, only one HDTV set and those cheap plastic hubcaps instead of alloys. Some may advance their situation and get those fancy fake chrome hubcaps where the middle bit doesn't move and it looks like they are driving backwards, but many stay in near destitution, barely able to afford the 24 hour Windsurfing channel on their Sky+ box.

And thus, when they talk in terms of "round" in the context of food, they would be meaning enough to feed an entire family, not one person.

Imagine if you can, the huddled masses living in filthy remortgaged ex-council estate houses, in the early afternoon, a tracksuited family crowded around the 42" plasma screen - their only source of heat. One will put down his can of red stripe, lovingly pat his ferret on the head, and say "anyone fancy a sandwich" (or words to that effect), and thus will leave the room and make one-half of a sandwich from a single slice of invisible crust bread, folded not cut, which is then divvied up between the family in the traditional manner.

So, give a thought to those who are less fortunate than ourselves, and try to understand, that three rounds to some means enough to feed three families, a veritable feast, and a person who orders such is considered a fine wealthy upstanding fellow who should not have his kindness repaid with sneers and insults from those fortunate to have more remote controls on their armchair than brain cells in their head.

Point to Trem on this one.

Well im all confused now.

 

[TdC]

I don't understand are you implying that Trem is a pikey-chav-hermafrodite? I did seem to remember reading a reference to hub-caps...

 

[~Yuckfou~]

Oh and yuck you voted on the wrong side of the poll

oops :/
Think I'd had a beer, maybe two, can't be certain.
When I was a kid Mum would be making a sandwich, "How many rounds do you want?" This would mean how many pieces of bread. 3 rounds is perfectly feasible, just fold a piece of bread in half. I've never heard sandwiches referred to as rounds. Southern people and Scots are gay and take man meat in the poop tube and eat gay "rounds" of sandwiches, so ner!

That is the best thing I have read in years.

I have no HDTV :/
I have no Sky :/
I have to get up so early to work in the pit that I get up before I go to bed :/

Oh god aye. Especially holy jocks, they are clearly the worst.

 

[TdC]

I'll merge em foo

edit: soz, Trems matey, I had to disable the smiles cos the forum bitched at me :/
edit2: yay! fixed!

 

[Chilly]

but what happens if you have a triple decker sarnie? does that count as 3 rounds of sandwich? fuck off does it.

The "round" can be thought of as a complete pair of sandwiches where each side holds half of the total amount of bread used to make that particular pair of sandwiches - or round.

 

[Trem]

A round is 1 slice of bread. A triple decker is 3 rounds of bread. It is classed as one babs size sandwich.

Cheers Teedles!

 

[ECA]

A round of toast is two slices because my toaster has two bread shaped holes.

Incidentally a round of trems is only one trem because the village stocks can only fit one trem, but you're all welcome to come and pelt him with rotten fruit and suchlike.

Or sexor him from either direction, its entirely your choice.

Definition of a sandwich :

The sandwich is a food item consisting of two slices of bread between which are laid one or more layers of meat, cheese, or other filling, together with optional condiments, sauces, and other accompaniments. The bread is often lightly buttered or covered in a flavored oil when it is baked, or added in the sandwich to enhance flavor.

so i guess 2 slices of bread x2 = 4

A "round" is is enough to complete one portion, regardless of slices.

In one case, one portion is for one person to stuff in their piggy flabby slack jawed purilent poncey southerner gob between mouthfuls of champagne as they masturbate to the Bloomberg FTSE index.

To those poor underprivileged types a "round" is enough for an entire family of several generations, and we are including our Natasha's kids which we look after when she goes to school.

 

[TdC]

you're starting to make me doubt myself

 

[Trem]

As you should, due to you being wrong...and Dutch.....and a Jock.

 

[TdC]

ok. um. a round. is it one slice of bread cut in two, or two slices of bread? as us normal people never use the term I'm still inclined to say two slices, but your explainations all point to the one. I still doubt!!!

 

[Trem]

If I have 3 rounds of sandwiches its 3 rounds(slices ffs) of bread, the third round is cut in half.

By the way, I forgot to mention, as I was arguing with the bag in the butty shop the owners husband was in there and he agreed with me. He said I was right, he's from Stoke also.

[xane]

Look, I'll put it simply, a round doesn't specify how many slices.

A "round of golf" does not specify how many holes ...

Oh wait, no that's a bad example, hold on ...

Ah ha ! A "round of drinks" does not specify how many drinks you buy, only enough to ensure everyone gets one drink.

Okay that's another bad example as for most people here a "round of drinks" is a vague concept and normally equates to one.

However ...

A "round of sandwiches" is enough for one person, or family, or whatever.

Now to me, as a shirtlifting Londoner, a "round of sandwiches" can consist of up to 6 slices - just for me; two to make the actual sandwich to stuff in my oversized index-linked cakehole, one to distract the inevitable flying rats that will descend on the typical Islington eateries I frequent, one slice to mash up and throw at the drunk Scottish raggamuffin in the gutter for light entertainment, one to mop up the remanents of my latte, and a final one to leave on the table to pin down my tip; a crisp twenty pound note as I don't have anything smaller as I used my last tenner to light my fag with, or wipe my bottom.

oh, I don't know about you two being related

I'm not pleased with this newly introduced concept of the half-round. I think I'll withhold judgement on the whole thing now. I personally entertain the concept of the portion, which is two slices of unfolded bread which may or may not be toasted according to your preference. but then I'm half Dutch and half Scots os I tend to do things differently.

 

[Trem]

I suck
/comfort

You would disagree with me even if you agreed with me you would disagree with the way you agreed with the thing I said that you agreed with.

 

[Stimpy]

So the owners husband was there, he obviously works for his wife then and what real man wants to work for his own wife?

He is under the thumb and just trying to lash out at the way his life has turned out, the man had a dream, a dream of being an astronaut which was squashed when through no fault of his own he fell in love and married a sandwich shop owner, no doubt it just started out as helping here and there when she was short staffed but before he knew it he was to old to enter the space program his will bent he was to depressed to go on interviews for other jobs and was forced to take up a full time postition in said shop.

Which leads us to why he agreed with you not because you where right but because he was angry, the poor man I do feel sorry for him

 

[Trem]

Actually he had just popped in to give all the women there a bitch slapping.
