Re: Whatever happened to...
Our family used to buy these blocks of ice cream, about 15cm by 10cm each individually wrapped in wax paper. You would get one and slap it in between two wafers of the same size to make an ice cream sandwich. We thought it was the best invention ever.86 invader wrote:Yeh Maxibon is the T1000 of Monaco Bars... Used to love Monaco Bars...

I remember the first time my friend gave me a (sour) warhead... What I thought was a nice gesture turned out to be a heinous experience...

Re: Whatever happened to...
Thats right, those bloody warheads. They used to have really hot ones as well didnt they? If memory serves, you would buy a pack and one in every five or so would be really sour or hot. It was a bit like playing russian roulette with lollies.86 invader wrote:I remember the first time my friend gave me a (sour) warhead...

I gave a sour one to my pop who didn't bat an eye. I then gave him a hot one and he went nuts. I laughed my head off.86 invader wrote:I remember the first time my friend gave me a (sour) warhead... What I thought was a nice gesture turned out to be a heinous experience...
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

A medical certificate should be enough?
Re: Whatever happened to...
I would have thought so. I never write what the problem is on a medical certificate.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

At the end of the game you drop about million bombs on Tokyo. Check it out.
Re: Whatever happened to...
It was the other way round in 1942.
1945, on the other hand, seems about right.

That's just complete ****ing bull**** perpetuated by idiots on Facebook who blindly share rubbish. Have a look at any KFC menu or even their website, and "chicken" is one of the first words you see!!green94 wrote:Apparently you will not see the word "chicken" in any KFC advertising. I've havent taken much notice but the franchise was always known as Kentucky Fried Chicken but know known as KFC. Also on their instore menus and junk mail the word chicken has disappeared.

I heard the nuggets were made of dog meat, which is why they say nuggets and not chicken nuggets. True story!

I'm angry, Begs. Christmas angry.
I just hate people who share rubbish on Facebook without even doing the quickest five second Google check it takes to disprove it as total rubbish. And then idiots post on it saying "Oh, that's awful" and "What is the world coming to?" and it just makes me want to punch kittens.
