Nice People Thread No. 14, all Nice and Proper

Sssshhh..

BiOrbs aren't really proper aquariums.

They are basically fancy lit ornaments with a bit of water and a few fish in.

True aquarium cogniscenti turn their noses up at them.

Good. That's uber-chavvy.

There was an episode of GD (I think) where somebody had plans to put a fish tank in ....that was then not allowed by his sensible OH.

Must have been Property Ladder where they managed it. North London/Herts even, 1930s type house? In the kitchen.

I've been quietly beavering away at eating the 250g bag of (Cadbury) chocolate mis-shapes I bought for Xmas. I do love them.

Every bag is hit/miss what you get in them... often only 2 varieties. I've been lucky this time, my two (3) favourites:
- soft/gooey/runny strawberry cremes
- soft caramel barrels
- soft caramel barrels that've been mistakenly made as solid chocolate (no filling).

mmmm

There's the January plans out of the window. Thanks for this. I love Revels because one is not entirely what one will get.

Did you know that you can pour revels into a milk tray box and they become much more expensive chocolates?

I can remember you could buy a milk tray chocolate bar that had chunks with different shapes and fillings. Yum!

Not sure it exists any more.

Pah! It ended in '81.

I think I remember that.

I used to like Creme Eggs, but then the fat chocolate base got thinner and the filling wasn't as runny. So I stopped buying them.

But then they brought out a bar of chocolate, which is better than the eggs imho.

I think a time machine would be wasted if I was the inventor. Instead of preventing tragical historical developments like world wars, I'd probably fritter it away watching TV programmes I'd missed or eating discontinued brands of choccies.

That's not frittering. It'd be wrong/irresponsible to alter history. Your way is the correct way.

If you're ever let in on the secret, let me know and we can go together and conduct taste tests of obsolete chocolate bars while watching Crossroads.

OK if I do the lion's share of the chocolate-tasting and you get the best seats for the Crossroads-watching?

My car was parked just off the A406 in Park Royal,and happy to say that the A406/A10/A120 was clear between 6.30 and 7.30 this morning.
