[Mrs Turbo]

Darn. Now I want good chocolate.

It really was incredulous!

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Big maybe but not BIG imo

I'd argue its gargantuan

when we we're in France a few years back i visited a few chocolate stores (like naturally) ...
At one, I spent around AUD$65 and got a few pieces of their delicacy.

I bet you got better value then i did DP, but for me it was a once in a lifetime experience that I just HAD to do...

I remember being in France, sitting across from the Eiffel Tower at this gorgeous patisserie. It had walls of cakes and sweets and shit the would make your mouth dribble.

I ordered a coffee and this amazing raspberry tart and ****…it was amazing! The pastry was beyond perfect, the raspberries the plumpest you’ve ever seen and the creamiest coffee.

It was perfect!

And it would want to ****ing be. After the conversion, minus the tip. I paid $47 Australian dollars for the tart and another $24 for the coffee.

When the lovely French waitress came over to take payment. I asked - where was the gold nugget?

All I got was the look of death as if I was something she stepped in by accident

And now I’m at the footy on a school night. Whoops!

Richmond up by 1 (undeservedly, though). Blues need to kick it up a gear if any of us are going to get close.

Turbo currently winning the race.

 

[myblueroan]

The ump is winning so far I reckon.

Harry from >50 was beautiful to see though, can’t argue that! But with Tigers down one on the bench, I’d think the blues may run them down at the stoppages over the night

Same for me. The most exciting chocolate store experience I've ever had was in Paris. So beautiful.

How is that footy?

Broncos are winning currently and the ciders are flowing

Never in doubt

The chocolate shops were like jewelry stores and charged the same as a jewelry store

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Richmond sure are putting it right up to us here.

I think our players could've went into this one a bit overconfident. Still though if we hold out and get the four points then i'll be happy!

we have TOO many stories from France but to me the worst experience was being charged 80Euros for the taxi to go about 4 blocks!!!

Ask Tigerturbulance about his duty free bottle of booze

Just gotta hold on for what we got.... one more quarter

Go tigers

I like sweet stuff, but much prefer salt. The chocolate in Belgium was wonderful, but one of my greatest moments overseas was walking into a bar in Brussels and finding lambic on tap.

All of a sudden, the heavens opened up... I heard a fanfare from the sky...



Nothing in the world beats Belgian ales... I can't understand why Stella Artois even exists.

It’s for the wife beaters

 

[Braklet]

Also, too much damned foopy talk, not enough chatter about how OOB are taking the Royals to the guillotine!

 

[myblueroan]

Hey tigger people. Well done. You took it right up to us and even mauled our Captain and Charlie ...both had huge tiger scratches on their faces. Fierce!!!
And awful luck for a couple of your good players but you still hung in and garnered everyone's respect.
We have a bye now and will get back Weitering and Marchbank. Much needed for defence. And then hopefully Sam Walsh

My god that was a close one! I think we went into this one a bit overconfident, but credit to the Tigers they pushed us all the way. We'll just bank the four points and move on to the next one.
