If I lived in Clacton and I owned a lion, I reckon I'd know if it went missing

Cue for old joke:

Guy legging it down the road, neighbour asked: "What's happening?"
"A lion got loose"
"Which way did it go?
"Well, I'm not fxcking chasing it"

[bobo the clown]

OK. You know when a product gets overrun by 'big business' who them only supply their own style & suddenly you can't get what you want?

So you go on line to search, but God knows what you call the item.

Well .... & I know this isn't life threatening or anything, but it's p'g my missus of & so hence making my life as stressful as watching Coyle's team selections. But sugar flowers for putting on trifles etc. .... not the high tech sort, but the basic, ordinary ones. The sort which you will find on Iced Gem biscuits.



So, like these, but without the biscuit base.

If anyone can help trace some I will be very, very grateful.

Now, onto the Afghan problem, the Eurozone crisis and food shortages in the Horn of Africa.

Just off the top of my head, unsure if suitable though?

Thanks, a tad high grade but closer than is now available in the supermarkets, though 'not quite'. Certainly will do if I find nought else.

[Gooner Girl]

Can't you just buy packets of iced gems and eat the biscuit base?!

I knew some smart ass would say that. Boooo GG, booooo.

How could anyone put iced gems in their gob & not eat them ??

Saw this outside a neighbour's house today. ( number fudged, just in case, because I didn't ask permission to take the pic) Made me smile because my very first car was one of these. Didn't have the fancy cream on the wheels but I had a lot of fun in it. Top speed of five miles a fortnight, had to hold the yard-long gear-stick in second to stop it jumping out, and comfort wasn't its best feature. Eventually let my brother have it and he demolished a wall near The Gardners Arms with it. Fond memories.

So Lily has gone to the great duck pond in the sky

Really far to upset about all this, considering shes a 'poultry pet' but glad she isn't in pain any more.

[Bruce Rioja]

Hope she passed as peacefully as was possible, GG. You have my commiserations

Thanks Bruce, checked her when we came back from swimming and were giving the twins tea at about 5.30 and she was alive and took a little water. Came back down from bathing and putting kids to bed an hour later, went to get her to do another maggot check and she had gone

Glad she went though, would have taken her to be put to sleep tomorrow but if she was in pain (and i don't know but can't believe she was totally comfortable/pain free even with the metacam) perhaps its better she died of her own accord (and saved me about £30 in the process, bless her) Mr GG buried her in the garden.

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, if it had to happen then I was rather hoping it might happen that way. I have no doubt that you'll have given her a wonderful life. Chin-up, eh?

The paint fumes are getting me high as a kite.

Someone pooed in the pool at work today. So glad i was teaching from the side at the time, and not in the water.

So, by force of nature, they'll have had piss in it as well. Dirty bastard

Was this the other teacher then ??

Was a private lesson rather then a class so there were a whole load of people in the pool at the time. They had to evacuate it and fish it out before my more formal lessons started.

Was it in Essex? Could have been a Lion Bar.

My dog, who is getting more expensive by the day, scared the bejesus out of us last night. He's 10 and a half with knackered knees but still thinks he's a puppy.

I was getting a couple of jacket potatoes out of the oven and had left the oven door down while I popped em on a plate. He decided now was the time to get giddy about his own tea and started skipping about. To our absolute horror he hopped onto the opened oven door (which was on at about 200c) and then his knees gave way. I've still no idea how he seems to have suffered no ill effects and happily wolfed his tea down a couple of minutes later.

My mates basset opened the bloody oven once and ate the casserole cooking in there, that bloody dog would eat anything.
