Thats just weird...

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Treacle, syrup or Nestles milk were also very acceptable on bread.Gary the Enfield wrote:boltonboris wrote:I don't like yoghurt. So that's a shitter.

I think that for GG, the "past" means summat different than what it does to you and I! I was reminiscing about old kids TV programmes the other day (in a vain attempt to get her to show J&J summat decent - like the Clangers) - and the furthest nostalgia-reach she could make was "Dangermouse"!Gary the Enfield wrote:Gooner Girl wrote:'As a youngster'?!

Can't hear you. Did you say something?
Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Well it was going to be Spanish at a relatively new tapas bar in Poulton called Espanol. I was thinking 6 or 7 dishes and a cheeky bottle of Rioja................."Sorry Sir, we are fully booked"
No problem I thought, I'll try Italian at Pulci's......"Unless you want a table at half 9, quarter to ten, we are fully booked sir"
Recession??? What recession???

No. Nestles Milk was a syrupy consistency, sweet and a substitute for sugar in tea.thebish wrote:do you mean Nesquick milkshake powder?TANGODANCER wrote:Treacle, syrup or Nestles milk were also very acceptable on bread.Gary the Enfield wrote:boltonboris wrote:I don't like yoghurt.

I always use it as an excuse to get the ice cream outGary the Enfield wrote:boltonboris wrote:Missus actually made a Thai green curry last night. FECK ME! It was hot.. I told her to use half a chilli.. She put a full one in.. It didn't even need the half!
I spent the evening downing milk and mopping sweat off my face. It tasted fantastic in fairness, but it was just a little too hot.
I usually have some plain yoghurt to hand. Failing that I've been told a teaspoon of sugar will take the heat away.

May the bridges I burn light your way
