I'm very cross with myself
Because I missed my chance
To buy some special tins of beans
Proved mine at just a glance
The well know slogan 'Beanz Meanz Heinz'
Was 50 long years old
I could have bought some special tins
With my name writ on there bold
My mother lovely though she was
Was not a brilliant cook
So egg chips and good old beans
Featured highly in my book
I still eat lots of beans on toast
They're so easy now to do
And if you come to stay with me
You'll eat a lot of 'em too.
Oh that's a shame to miss out on the special beans part of my staple diet too! Hope you feel better soon now you have started the rescue pack X
Thanks, the steroids will soon have me firing on six cylinders, the trouble is I only have four. 😕
Well with the help of the beans you might be surprised and develop a couple more cylinders ha ha X
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
With so many beans,Don , you will jet propelled !
Was waiting to see results of your consultation with your Dr friend ....can't see any mention of it ..... did he offer the CRP check ?
Gather your on rescue pack hope you get well soon. Xxx
I mentioned it to HH in the thread that start that pathway. It didn't go too well. He had heard of the CRP check and was surprised that some areas were offering it. He said that it would not give any indication of cancer cells which was what I was interested in, having lost a couple of old friends with bladder and postate cancer. They could have lived longer or at least have died of something less distressing if caught earlier. My doc looked as though he had more than a passing interest in the subject too. 😟
Well yes I can well understand your concern on that score, it is a shame about your friends, I have lost too many loved ones to cancer.......terrible terrible thing.
I understand that CRP check is to check the white blood cells which give an indication of a infection in your blood.....perhaps will be offered more widely in the future.
I can only assume as you are on your rescue pack that you have an infection of some kind, I hope you recover soon. Xxx
Yes the talk was about using it when deciding whether or not to use the rescue pack and I didn't bother asking about that since he didn't have the gear anyway. I knew I had an infection but delayed treating it hoping to test the check if he had the facility. Now I'm regretting doing that and seemed to have picked up a common cold to go with it.
But I've always preached that if you keep an active mind and apply it something other than your ailment you will heal so much quicker. So I'm sorry if the members find me rambling on even more than i did before for a while.
Love it Don and I love baked beans too. Just take care not to eat too many! Xxx 😘💖💋
Love it, Love Beans, Everyone should eat Beans, Oh, They Do. Hope your feeling Better Don, now your on the Rescue Meds. Hugs XXXX
Perhaps you could write to Heinz Oh Venerable One and say how sad you are that you never had a tin with your name on it?😪
If you tell them what a fan you are they might just print one for you?
Worth a try??????
Nothing beats beans on toast on a winters day.😉 real comfort food.
Keep warm
X
I'll just print myself a set of labels. That would really prove I'd lost the plot! 😁
Have to disagree Mr. Don.
That would prove you have great initiative.😂😂😂😂
Sorry Don.
I missed the post about your chest infection.🤧
Get better soon.x
Lots of beans definitely needed to boost the immune system😉🌈
😂😂😘x
I'm not sure if is a Good morning today Mr.D is it ?
50 years of our beloved Heinz Baked Beans and I never got my "personal" find made up either 😢 .
Can't say we'll be around for their next big celebration (unless it's 55year one eh?). Excellent rhyme as per your normal standard 💞
Well they wouldn't be as fresh sitting around waiting for labels to be printed SH, so why bother. 🤧
😤😷
Beans,beans are good for your heart
The more you eat the more you fart
The more you fart the better you feel
Beans beans for every meal
A timeless classic and a can of beans for anybody knows who composed it.

Rip Van Winkle?
My sons’s version from primary school ( he’s now nearly 40)
Was Same first 2 lines as yours
Followed by
‘The more you fart ,the more you eat
The more you sit on the toilet seat’
Sorry but the timeless classic appears to have more than one version!
Lucky Don lives alone apart from the very understanding Midge.
Take care Skis

Later i googled alternatives which unlike your son's were not suitable for the dodgy lung site Corin. x
Good heavens! it must be nearly lunchtime, Grasshopper has just popped up. 😂x
An astute observation Master Po plus with the added complication of broadband problems all of my services are running late today,off to search for the missing brown bin,they have all disappeared? x
Best offer for beans recently was Branston - 6 tins for a £1
Get well soon Don.
Beans arre quick and easy and tasty.
I sometimes get the ones with the little sausages in 💕x
Yes they're good for a change. I should get those less, sugar, lass fat , less salt, gluten free, vegetarian friendly and also contribute towards one of my five a day. And die happy? I don't think so. 😁
Mr Don! Great one again! Beans on toast huh...I never tried that! I will now! I like Shit on a shingle ( dried beef on toast with white sauce) Keep writing! Janet127
I don’t like the name they gave your toasty meal, Janet, that put me off big time. 🤮
Can no longer eat the beans, so have to make do with spaghetti hoops!!
Sorry to hear this SH, missing out on one of life's great luxuries. 😥
I love baked beans too!! Loved them since I was little. But now I only have them for a "special" breakfast. xx 😊 😀
Good for you Cas, what makes are available there? 🤨xx
Heinz is not available in the local supermarkets. It wouldn't sell. It has to be bought at shops that specialize in foreign food or on Amazon. We have versions of it like beans in tomato sauce, but it is foul. 😮 Beans on toast is definitely not a Japanese thing so it's not popular. Although I love Heinz, I have to limit my intake due to the high level of sugar and sodium. But it's nice to have it as a treat. xx 😊
Tis one of my favourites Cap'n - grilled cheese on buttered toast smothered in Tesco (much nicer than Heinz) Baked Beans with a drop or two of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce stirred in - that really does warm you up on a cold winter day. And then of course there's American style Baked Beans which are marvellous eaten cold in the summer . . . . now I am making myself feel hungry . . . .
I alway thought that baked beans came over here with the GI’s in WW2 together with Spam but they pre-dated the war years I believe.
Did you know that Heinz developed their own varieties of tomatoes to get that unique Heinz taste 🍅
Baked Beans were originally sold in the UK by Fortnum and Mason in 1901 as a luxury item. A large can would cost 9d (the equivalent to £2.15 by today's prices). The first can of British-manufactured Heinz Beanz was created in the Heinz factory in Harlesden in 1928.24 Oct 2017 - so ya not wrong Cap'n!
