I'll be undertaking some important research tonight

 

[MYOB]

I was there as well , not many of us there , you must have been sitting next to me!

Not unless you were sitting in the corporate box with me drinking piss.

Dude? When did you become a hoochie gooch smoking slacker, D Mitchell?

My favourite line from Back to the Future 111. I've been waiting to use that line since 1985.

My Dad worked for Cadburys for years. English chocolate was without par.

York had Rowntrees and Terrys and Bournville had Cadburys. All quaker family run companies who made sensational confectionary.

Sorry, Australia but your chocolate sucks.

The whole of Canada knows this, somehow the Australians missed out. You didn't even mention St Georges day last week on the ABC. The man who slayed a dragon to save fair maid. No doubt we'll get Diwali and Ramadhan in every broadcast.

English neighbour got rellies in UK to send her boxes of Mars Bars, reckoned Aussie version didn’t measure up

Think of all those tins of dripping and preserved tomatoes we sent them as Food Parcels for Britain after the War. About time Britain returned the favour.

I personally don't mind chocolate bullets either. Few different varieties now with white chocolate, raspberry licorice as alternatives etc.

sackofballs has highlights of our first ever win in WA. I'm not sure how. It's one of the hardest games to get. AFL Delivered and Name a Game didn't have them a few years ago when I enquired. Nothing on YouTube, except for now thanks to this legend.

You smug bastard

I was there, sitting amid the theater goers being continually berated for cheering for my team and was a pretty smug bastard when that siren went

Just watched the last quarter again. How HUGE was Easton Wood! Never got enough recognition for that last goal IMO. The camera followed Toyd for some reason.

What market are they targeting there? Hipsters? Cashed up nostalgic boomers?

I'd say where there namesakes location is except the last one - Gisborne sounds about right (yuk)!

My groceries arrived from Woolies this afternoon. Guess what wasn't included, though I was charged for it. Go on, guess! Which one of you bastards robbed the delivery truck? grrr...



A bag of mandarins was also missing, but who cares?

Re the Lindts: they clearly want you to pay for your covetous thoughts.

The bag of mandarins was just an oversight.

No. I believe that a poster on here read elsewhere on BF that I was ordering my Woolies groceries and when, then stalked my home and waited in the bushes for the delivery man to arrive, knowing full well of my lust for the precious cargo. He/She would have to be a devious, conniving person who has shown hatred for the sick and elderly. I do have a few posters in mind. This flu virus thing has not killed me, but my heartache over the stolen chocolate balls might just do it.

Your Lindts are delicious. The mandarins were a little overripe

Having lived near a Cadbury factory in Australia and then moving to York in the 90's; Terrys was best but I would happily eat Rowntree any day. I had friends at school whose parents worked at Terrys, they were always popular. Australian Cadbury just isn't quite right.... I am not sure why they made it different.

Additional:
After posting this, I had to go and buy some Terrys just had to....

The orange would be unreal. Not sure about the honey and cream...

I used to work in a doughnut shop. I even started a pastry chef apprenticeship. The shop made fantastic doughnuts and berliners. If you do not know what a berliner that is OK. Here in Vicco it is called a jam filled doughnut

The shop did so many different styles and flavours...I was working a 14 hour day. First to make the doughnuts and then to make the fillings for the next days doughnuts

They used real chocolate on top instead of the imitation chocolate on every single doughnut sold in Australia today

The shop was a complete failure though. Back then I think it may have been ahead of its time and despite the owners being jerks, they tried to introduce real doughnuts to Australia. They spent soooo much money on developing their own signature flour

They may have been jerks but I feel their pain when only a few years later Krispy Kreme arrived here. They are an abomination of a doughnut





I walk my cats, as much as cats need walking. It is usually them skulking off into my neighbours yard and sitting under their car. I do this every day. My neighbours have been so generous and gracious towards us and this slightly weird behaviour that last christmas I had to say thanks for putting up with it



I bought them Lindt balls

Now I want to make doughnuts.

I’ve never had a Krispy Kreme doughnut. A bag of hot jam doughnuts from the van outside the footy ground is what I crave on the rare occasions I get to a game.

Also have fond memories of glazed pineapple doughnuts from Downyflake, many years ago.
