    Dont you just hate it when that happens:D

    My DS1 had as he put it "one of his life's greatest dissapointments" when he thought he was eating a Cadbury's cream egg and on biting into it discovered that it was indeed a Cadbury's Caramel Egg instead.

    They look identical out of the wrapper..............he says he still hasnt got over it:rotfl::rotfl:

    Poor boy, and at his age this sort of thing can be v traumatic ( at his age EVERYYTHING can:D) maybe you should buy one of each and give him the Creme Egg wrapped in a Caramel Egg wrapper, you have to eat the other one though to hide the evidence. This may reverse the effects?
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    My favourite used to be the egg which had a kind of mallow and soft toffee centre. Can't remember the name but haven't seen them since I was a teenager (about 5 years ago, obviously ;) )

    OOh BB I remember the one you mean - it was my fave too. Sadly I can't remember what it was called either. :easter_ba

    seems it was just called a Toffee and Mallow egg and was made by Rowntrees. Sadly not now made :( There was also one a bit like Golden Cup which was just runny toffee as well :drool:

    I want to give it a go and have done for a long time, but the question of where to go apart from Betfair is my hurdle at the moment. I've just googled one of the other exchanges mentioned in the 'how to' guide and it doesn't even exist now :confused: The whole MB thing seems to be absolutely huge, I just dipped into SS's diary and he seems to have loads of stuff on the go - seems quite daunting and I would say I know a bit already about betting.

    EDIT: I think, from googling I can use World Bet Exchange...........might register........and then carry on learning.....

    You got to love this guy...
    This is a true story about a recent
    wedding that took place at Clemson University .
    It was in the local newspaper and even
    Jay Leno mentioned it.
    It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.
    After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on stage
    with a microphone to talk to the crowd.
    He said he wanted to thank
    everyone for coming, many from
    long distances, to support them
    at their wedding.

    He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family
    and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.
    As a token of his deep appreciation
    he said he wanted to give everyone
    a special gift just from him.
    So taped to the bottom of
    everyone's chair, including the wedding party was an envelope.
    He said this was his gift to
    everyone, and asked them to
    open their envelope.


    download?mid=1%5f12537%5fAD1y%2bFcAAErUSd4TqgLs60HTvzw&pid=2.6&fid=Inbox&inline=1

    Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy
    of his bride having sex with the best man.
    The groom had gotten suspicious
    of them weeks earlier and had
    hired a private detective to tail
    them.
    After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions
    for a couple of minutes, he
    turned to the best man and
    said, 'F---you!' Then he turned
    to his bride and said, 'F--- you!'
    Then he turned to the
    dumbfounded crowd and said,
    'I'm outta here.'
    He had the marriage annulled
    first thing in the morning.
    While most people would have canceled the wedding
    immediately after finding out
    about the affair, this
    guy goes through with the
    charade, as if nothing were wrong.
    His revenge--making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a
    300-guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the
    bride's and best man's reputations
    in front of 300 friend s and family members.
    This guy has balls the size of church bells.
    Do you think we might get a MasterCard 'priceless'
    commercial out of this?
    Elegant wedding reception
    for 300 family members and
    friends: $32,000.
    Wedding photographs commemorating the Occasion: $3,000

    The look on everyone's face
    when they see the 8x10 glossy
    of the bride humping the best man: Priceless.
    There are some things money
    can't buy, for everything else
    there's MASTERCARD
