Yeah, I love dark choc too (Mrs Caveman hates it, so happy days!) - the juicy cherry and dark choc G&B is utterly superb with a nice espresso. Truly, is there a better way to spend £2?

You missed out on the butterscotch though - do yourself a favour a grab a bar, you won't be disappointed!

I might try it...

Nice stuff though, I like the one that's dark choc with bits of cherries in it 'n all..

Why haven't Apple started putting QR codes behind the scratch panels on their iTunes gift cards, and changed the Redeem function within the App Store app to allow the scanning of said QR code?

It would make redeeming gift cards so much bloody easier.

Scratch panels often lead to the detail below being scratched too though, and I would guess that the QR readers are relatively sensitive to such damage. Nice idea that could probably be worked another way though.

... In other news, I'm working at home today, at the kitchen table, drawings etc. strewn all over the shop and driving Mrs Caveman mad, getting under her feet.

Teen Angel #2 is busy baking a choc fudge cake from scratch, for her hubby's 30th birthday; it's a very pleasant domestic scene and a whole world away from the usual working environment/backdrop lol.

Bless her little cotton socks. :luv:

EDIT-

Quote:

Captain Caveman (voiced by Mel Blanc) is the main character, a caveman who is thousands of years old (his exact age is never disclosed). He can pull various objects from his body hair. He can also fly, but his flying power always seems to fail him at the worst possible moment. Sometimes he would attribute this mishap to an energy shortage ("Uh oh! Bad time for energy crisis." CRASH!), which was a pun on the gasoline rationing shortages of the late 1970s. He speaks in stereotypical "caveman-talk", replacing subjective pronouns with their objective equivalents and dropping articles such as "the" (for example, "Me know where bad guys are hiding."), and often mumbles the nonsense phrase "unga bunga". He also has a bad habit of occasionally eating large non-food objects in one gulp (i.e. bicycles, TV sets, safes, table lamps), and the Teen Angels occasionally have to stop him from eating potential clues that will help them to solve the mystery.

Man, that's so true, on so many levels. Especially the bit about my age and pulling various objects from my chestwig.

We've had an esteemed visitor today in the form of Prime Minister Cameron. I stayed out of the way because I have heard that he carries with him an aura such that even a sideways glance at his pudgy little face can turn you Tory. He had a nice Jag, though and lots of heavies in blacked out Range Rovers.

I had the dubious pleasure of helping arrange a visit for Mr Broon (when he was still PM) and Lord Adonis to a secure location in Manchester to meet 100 chief execs of medium to large companies based in the North West.

It was a pain in the arse.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16640

Lord Adonis has the best real name of anyone.

kalmar · **Posted:** Fri Jan 06, 2012 17:26

"Lord" is certainly a cool name.

"Andrew", less so.

I reckon your meeting must've been akin to when Perseus had to do the dirty on Medusa, Warhead - one direct, unshielded glance from that solitary functioning eye and you would surely be transformed not into stone, but a great steaming pile of bullshit!

I did have a panicky moment when the regional head of business link couldn't be found to give him a verbal briefing on the pre-meeting discussions with the government office regional director and Broon's secretary asked me to brief him. I was about to be dragged into his presence to tell him that the regional chiefs execs of Ford, Fujitsu, etc. had all been complaining that they couldn't get bank loans for guaranteed multi-million pound contracts, when the BL guy turned up, so I was spared to live another day.
