Mate, I live in Birmingham. I live on the Bournville village Trust estate. The land my hosue is built on is owned by the cadbury's. I have to pay them ground rent of a whopping £9 every 6 months or so for maintenance of the area.

Does that answer the question of if I've ever been to cadbury world? :P

The molting place smelt strange, and the "ride" was overrated, but the shop is great if you have the cash. I haven't been there in so long.

What's even better is when you get into the staff shop. The factory shop is cheap, but the staff shop is jsut insane. It sells stuff from all the companies that Cadbury's owns or has shares in. Seriously, the amount of pies they have fingers in is scary. Fucking Addidas products for sale in there...

I'm coming to your house right now. and that's where we're going.

I'm jumping in your luggage!

I liked the prank. it was pretty neat. I just couldn't keep looking at the layout for extended periods of time. It totally messed up my vision

My laptop sometimes does this redish screen thing so it took a minute to realize it wasn't my fault.
All in all, while anjnoying i think it was clever that is was specifically the politics forum, and the regular users of which, who couldn't post. That was just brilliant. I didn't care much for the Chinese style games though.

This last week, my parent's daschdunds have been having a hard time of it. Friday morning I got up, and my mother had given them a thorough bath followed by a vigorous spritzing with Obsession "Night" samples she had gotten in the mail, because they stunk. Saturday I got home from work, my dad has setup a 4 inch tall electric fence running the whole perimeter of my mother's flower garden to keep the little ones out of it.

And now, thanks to me, they're going to be tired and punch drunk when my mother gets home.

Father forgive me for I have sinned, I hath used mine intellect for evil. I took a miniature laser pointer, duct taped the button in the "on" position, taped it to the ceiling fan in the living room, and turned on the fan. They are running around in circles trying to catch the thing as I speak, all because I didn't want them underfoot whilst fixing dinner.

I knew you lived in Birmingham, but I never knew you lived so close to every British kid's dream, a factory! Albeit, a chocolate factory. If they asked me for money, I would've told them, I'm only paying if I get a kit-kat.

And when they try to tell me kit-kats are made by a significantly more evil company, I get into fits that have me labelled as "irrational weirdo" and hence I never get bothered again.

Seriously, "maintenence of the area", does that actually, you know, mean or do anything?

I can only imagine, haha. Didn't the whole place have a salmonella (sp?) scare a while back too? It's good feelings for the evening, heh.

Looking back on it, I actually feel like going again now. The only real thing I recall is disappointment at the lack of chocolate rivers, TV rooms, a nut place and a gum place. Seriously, I loved that story "back in the day", and Cadbury's World had me hyped :(

Speaking of that, I was lured onto the Charle and the Chocolate Factory ride at Alton Towers with the promise of "free chocolate at the end". What actually happened was the glass elevator bit broke down, so we got free passes if we were to come again, then let out the back door where the bins of the nearby McDonald's live.

You did. It was all the chinese accounts. Go back a few pages on the general forum to last night, they're all locked now.

It would seem you are correct. I am humbled. However may i serve to regain my honor?

My court order won't let me properly answer this question.

But I can!

Nah, messing you.

Anyways, not much here, spring break is next week, can't wait.

Cadbury scares me...
First it's wrapped in foil.
I'm infinitely afraid of eating ANY candy that's been wrapped in foil because there will be that small little piece stuck on the candy. I have fillings, which makes the experience of bitting into a piece of foil FRIGHTENING.

And second--
One egg is enough to make two people diabetic.

But I LOVE the commercial (you know, with the chicken, and the lion...)
It's not Easter unless I can see that once per year.

It worked for all of 15 minutes, the fan was going to fast (even on slow), and they got frustrated trying to go after it. I may rig up something with some elastic string and an old set of keys instead.

*looks around*

Anybody know what an aneurysm feels like?

I ask this in jest, but let's just say if I could reach through the screen and slap somebody, I would.

I like the caramel filled cadbury eggs.

haha, crazy Croats making crazy dialects in southern Italy.

Just imported Herbie Hancock's "Headhunter" CD onto my computer.

Winwinwinwinwin.

Proteas how in the hell did you get demoded.

never mind you are still listed as a mod, the neutral aura made me think you weren't a mod anymore, my bad.

I miss my Mao status...
I want to give up my dagger so I can get back my Mao...

I watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua...
Not as bad as I expected.

Utterly stupid, but-- I watched it with my neice and younger cousins. And it was too bad.

But, they made a lot of mistakes... They go to TJ, and the next day they're in Mexico City... and the next evening they're in Puerto Vallarta.

From TJ to Mexico City would take several days by car (let alone for a dog to walk...) and probably 3 to 5 days to go from Mexico City to Puerto Vallarta by car.

Otherwise,
enjoyable enough movie to watch with the kids...

Yes, it did. But I've not eaten any yet :P The chocolate is actually a part of an ingenius plan to get myself a date.

1) Find Pretty Girl
2) Offer Chocolate
3) Get Date
4)????
5) Proft!

That's probably where I've been going wrong all these years. I've been using tomatoes and weeds I've randomly picked up around the place.

You know your Friday is pretty slow when you're hanging around making obscure Harvest Moon references on the BBS.

I just noticed, and the list has been updated too (though the FAQ hasn't). It's not any of my business, but I am curious!

By the way Proteas, I may need to adapt some of your ideas for when I take care of my cat full-time in a few days time. Slightly evil, but I suppose it's for convenience's sake. I love him really!

Dude, if you can do all that and make a profit... you will be a God among men!

What do you mean *will be*. I AM a God among men already. I'm British, and I have a fedora. This means I am automatically god like.

;;;
I had found a couple of 5 gallon pails of old lead weights for balancing tires. The person I bought a barn from had been the owner of a couple of Gas/service stations. So I wanted to get the little steel piece that hooks the lead weight to the tires out of the lead, using pliers ,hammer & a cold chisel was going to take forever. So I just melted it in a piece of pipe about 4 or 5 inches in diameter with a plate welded to the bottom & it poured out... voila .

He wanted to see if we could melt gold out , instead of playing with mercury.

Did it work?

;;;;
Yep, that's why were rich...rivers of gold ....L O L
No the amount of gold was too small.... gold can look like there is quantity but it can be so thin ....we ended up with some tiny grainy dots with gold in it. IF you could just smelt it out of rock, I'm sure it would be done that way...My brother had better success with using mercury.
But his real success was just paning for gold . Even that didn't give him enough to make it profitable for the time & effort he put in. He did it in his spare time, vacation he went around the province to old gold mining sites etc. I don't think he's even found an ounce of gold & he's been playing around with it for a couple of years now. He doesn't do it as much lately, but when he goes camping, canoeing he always takes a pan with him.

They're tasty but so expensive. Cadbury's keep on raising the prices every year but I can get a big easter egg for only £1, so that's good.

The weather's been fine. Yesterday it just rained really hard for a while. Nasvhille and areas directly south (franklin) got hit hard though.

I was demodded for giving the devs hell over the April Fool's Joke.

Which is fine by me, because I was thinking of stepping down anyway.

I'm not going to give details on who I gave hell to or what was said, but let's just say that I look forward to just being one of the gang again.

Hey Proteas
I was with family this afternoon & got some cool photo's
Like these.

Ever seen one of these?
I was told because I'm the only one ,who's ever shown an interest in sharpening razors getting a real straight Razor shave (which I do now & then) They will be mine someday.

Check out the old Japanese water stone on the right edge of frame...its a natural stone & you can see the two different colors for the different textures if you look close. They are not uniform when you look at the whole stone ( I think its pretty cool.)
