WTF!!

Do they contain opiates or crack?

I am addicted to this:

LOL!

They also make "Caramel Logs" with flakes of toasted coconut on them and are equally addictive.

They go back a long time.

I remember having one or the other in my schoolbag as a kid for a playtime snack.

cheers,

Ron

estebanana, you're on a slippery slope that can only end up here:

Man,... that's saying something. Not so sure about that so after my jog I'm going to treat myself to a Kit Kat Chunky Caramel and a Caramel Bar.

I'll report back!

Irn Bru is good stuff!

On drinks...I thought I'd share my latest discovery...

I must admit, I'm not really a great wine fan, but prefer beers.

Lately I've been drinking this stuff called McEwan's Champion and I must admit it definitely compares to some of the best German beers or Irish stouts in quality.

It's not a "refreshing" beer to be drank on a hot summer's day, like the lighter bottled Continental Lagers or some bottled American beers.

This is more of a "drinking" beer to be savoured slowly.

It's 7.3%...and the bottle is 500mL, so it's not really a good idea to have 2 in a row. (believe me on this).

Fair price of about £1.84 a bottle or sometimes available in supermarkets at 3 bottles for £4.

I urge you to try it if you like beer...I'm definitely a convert now.

Um...should this be in Product Reviews?

cheers,

Ron

Well the regular McEwan's Scotch Ale is good stuff (for medicinal purposes, of course) so this one must be even better. Not likely to find its way to these foreign parts, though.

Yeah, in the sub-section "Performance Enhancers" or "Production Aids". At least you've taken an Off-Topic topic and redirected it On-Topic - highly unusual! - as booze is an important part of flamenco, whereas chocolate biscuits not so much...(yet)

Whaaaht?.......MOI???

I'd like to think I am always perfectly "On Topic"....but just with a bit of a "sideways" slant sometimes!

(Simon said I was like that on the phone as well...

)

cheers,

Ron

I get these Tunnocks bars at the Cost Plus World Market two blocks from my guitar shop. I first had one about a year ago and I bought them on a regular basis. Then one day they were gone. I waited a few months and finally gave up that they would be restocked. Then yesterday they came in again.

It's the little things that make you happy.

I kind of want to write a ranty about how addictive they are. Sort of like a Spanglish version of the out damn spot monologue in MacBeth.
