Where Did They go? Page 2

I love Jelly Tots...but apparently Tootie Frooties made me gag :| now I cant even see them without feeling a bit shocked, almost

fizzy cola bottles for me. what's the point in things that aren't fizzy?

All those people that lived in the 1800s, where did they go?
I know they were around once cos I've seen photos and the like, but can I find them now? No!

Through the looking glass?

Thanks Mark for the web addy.

Is that fizzy cola bottles you like Leevil. They are amazing. You screw your face up when you eat them as they are so sour, but you have to have more.

I like those aniseed twists too. They are evil yet nice.

Well both. :O <-- Insert all sweets here.

White chocolate fish and chips at half a penny each they were real value for money, you also had DIY equipment not sure about the relevance of saw's, hammers and pliers in choccy form? Still ate them though.

I got some of those big chocolate buttons with hundreds & thousands on yesterday.
Delicious.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Fax me one over please Madam.

Will do!

I mean it's not like you can saw anything with a choccy saw without it melting, you can pretent to puff on a candy stick and look cool, a pear drop tastes of pear!! it just makes no sense even to children.

Interesting ... in the 1950's my parents had a couple of sweet/tobacconist shops. Working in them was the first job I had on leaving school. Anyone remember Jubblies ... we did the frozen ones? We did all the kid's sweets too ... Black Jacks, Sherbet dabs with the liquorice tubes, those pink shrimp candy things, gob stoppers, and so on. Then there was stuff like Sherbet lemons, buttered brazils, hazelnut whirls, etc. We also sold tuppenny fags (two old pence that is), the cheapest then were called Dominoes, in packets of four, and some really strange brands that have long since passed into history like Craven A, Sweet Aften (Irish popular), Passing Cloud, weird squashed-flat Turkish things and some variety that came in packs all multi-coloured (can't remember the name of those!). We also sold snuff in tins also loose and weighed, also weighed-up tobacco ... I was always amused when asked to weigh up an ounce of No. 9 Dark Shag (black as pitch!) for somebody. I've no idea whether any of these brands have stood the test of time, like Woodbines (ugh, horrid), Players Weights, Senior Service, and the dreaded Capstan Full Strength ... guaranteed to put you in intensive care some time or other! Those were the days when nobody gave a stuff on the health issues (but we're still alive despite even that!)

If multi coloured fags were more widely available, I'd probably be a smoker.

Looking at this I'd imagine you all agree with me. Godot was criticising Gervais for being fat and not employing a personal trainer.

Who the hell wants a personal trainer? It's no fun - it's hard work. Even if I was a multi millionaire I wouldn't have one. I'd just eat to my hearts content!

David Chapman - go to the Headmaster's office, this instance.

:)

Right then, back on subject, where did they go?

The Tooth fairy
Striped flannel pyjamas
The jokes in Hyperspace

And TEXAN BARS - remember them?
