    !!!!!! happened here?

    I assume there has been vast amounts of deleted posts etc? The last 10 pages made no sense!

    chucky's best mate is (obviously) StevieJ.

    lir I always put your spelling down to trying to type as quick as you think. I find when I have an idea & try to write it down I have difficulty sometimes getting it onto paper/a screen in a coherent way if I am excited/enthusiastic about the idea.

    Last night I enjoyed a couple of galaxy mistletoe kisses which have been in our house since Christmas. Mmmmmm!

    Because of the tone of the thread, I initially typed "hanging around our house" above, but then deleted it. Even given the fact I once found a mate who had hung themselves in their home. Scarily, I know/knew several who have taken their own lives - all for different reasons, & in different ways.

    wageslave I sent you a copy of the original cadging PM - hope you got it.
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    You are a centrist moderate social libertarian.
    Right: 0.06, Libertarian: 2.65

    Not sure whether that is good or bad.

    edit: The Pickles thread was a joke RIP thread when I last looked - probably out of order and deserved to be shunted or canned. It was never going to last.

    Well, I think you all did pretty good work on the chocolate front without me.

    I'm with you on the Dairy Milk (mmm), Lindt mini truffly things, Thorntons truffles of various varieties.

    I find Green and Blacks OK, but not as good as they're cracked up to be or as their relative price tag would suggest they ought to be.

    V hungry now, but I am out of chocolate now, as I piggled it all yesterday. And half a pack of chocolate biscuits... :o:drool:

    Going to confess that I felt really bad after the post on the br board. I know it was supposed to be funny but I felt very guilty about it all. I woke up feeling really bad being a part of it. Even thought I might be banned. I do some volly support work with people that are often in debt. Anyway, that`s that out of the way.
