Be Excellent To Each Other

'tis, just in liquid form, not solid.


*steps away from the thread...*

Ipswich has at least 2 markets, selling bread and fish and veg, etc. Felixstowe has "The Market" which is every Sunday, they sell loads of cheap sup-JML tat.

In fact most towns and cities in East Anglia have markets. I've certainly been to quite a few in Suffolk, and a couple in Norfolk.

Are they actually in shops yet? The Spar and the burger van near the office don't have them yet

I've pre-ordered mine, its coming in a special collector's tin with making of DVD, poster and a map of Wispa-Land. Well worth the £18.40!

Original article said October, I think.

I never even liked them much, and even I'm excited about being able to buy one. That's a very decent bit of marketing is that.

Bums.

Really? We have an awesomes farmers' market every friday and saturday. Locally made wine, even, as well as the usual meat, bread, veg etc. Toppo, fun, and cheap.

Everywhere should have farmers' markets - the government should be pushing their expansion rather than allowing shit loads more Tesco Expresseseses.

Looks like our market ended in 1930 -

Blimey - it sounds like it was ended by a plane carrying some honeymooners crashing into it. Well, if you gotta go, go in style.

I just noticed that we didn't have sewers until 1933.

Ew.

"1981 - Village sign competition held"

That must have been an exciting year.

Is it just me, or has everywhere in England won the 'Britain in Bloom' contest?

Isn't this just a few miles away?

Must have been - took them three years to decide the winner by the looks of it.

Far enough away to be not somewhere I've ever been in my life, except for when I went to hospital that time...

What did you go to hospital for, Owen? Have you got any photos of the injury?

Well, actually, I had to go in because my...

Google Maps suggests it's 15 miles, and it's a lot closer as the crow flies. That's surely not actually that far? I travel further to work each day.

Looking at Google maps... blimey, it's damned green where you are.

People in my area of Kent don't go west or east. We only go north and south. Because the roads that go west and east don't really deserve the name.

*lubes up giant ban-dildo. With sand*

Pfft.

I was scrolling around that map looking for something exciting and noted that they appear to have put crocodiles in the lake around the island where The Princess of Hearts [tm] is buried:

So kudos for that. I'd like to think she's actually got a secret underground lair there where she is shagging rich arabs doing good work for charity.

There must have been a hell of a party.

If you'd only gone south-west a bit, you'd have found one fuck of a car park.

I used to bite them till the bottom started to split then stop, at which point the split would close, and trap my lip slightly. I would then eat the chocolate like a normal human being. I HAD to do this when eating one, for no discernable reason other than I just had to. I miss them, but feel slightly less of a nutjob now I don't have to do that anymore.

Will they bring back the Wispa Gold?

That's interesting. Does anyone know what this is? It's clearly a repurposed airfield; I'm guessing it's storage for newly built cars awaiting delivery. There's a big one of those at Avonmouth too.

Manchester equivalent

Rovers and Peugeots last time I went by it on the train. Which was several years ago.

Most of these are factory runoff I suspect.

I spotted my first new Wispa today at the train station. Rejoice!

Without caramel they are worth NOTHING.

They are back, back, back. We got over 800 in today.

I wasn't even aware there WAS a world record for number of Wispa bars in a phone box.

874 bananas.

I need 869 to go with the ones on my desk. But I will get them to you.

I have trouble believing that it's not possible to get more than 874 bananas in a phone box.

I don't like wispas, but right now I'd take any offer of yummy chocolate in any form.

Om nom nom.

*Chucks mimi his spare bar of green and blacks*

I'm trying to understand the concept of a spare bar of Green and Black's.




Nope.

Heh.

The small ones are 2 for £1 in ANI...

They do different sizes?

3 different sizes in fact.

35g, 100g, 150g.

Om nom nom.

Mmm, Green & Blacks is just... Mmmmmmm

Switzerland makes Thorntons look like pisspot amateurs, it's a terribly dangerous country.

Thorntons ARE pisspot amateurs, their stuff is massively overrated.

Ah, chocolate snobbery

/JPickford

Thorntons make ace toffee, but average choccy.

I'd quite happily mash my face into a pile of thorntons in preference to most other chocolate you can readily buy. Cappucino flavour? mmmmmm.

There's the arguement that if you have to flavour chocolate, what you have is bad chocolate.

See Coffee.
