Anyone from the UK?

Oh its fine. Just make sure it never happens again!

No, seriously? Who said that?

Our beloved hamster Laubchen went to rodent Valhalla a couple of weeks ago and Mrs cdstefi is jonesing hard for a new small furry friend so I think we're off to check out Chinese hamsters tomorrow (experimental, because we've always had Syrians up till now, but despite being very smol, Chinese hamsters are alleged to be surprisingly long-lived in hamster years, as well as playful and friendly).

Is this some kind of code I don't understand?

 

[NorthernCardinal]

Am I the only one being boring and staying in?

I'm working...

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

It's alright. Well we can both take bets on how long it'll take before @Wand3rlust is in A&E with a slipped disc.

Afternoon all.
Anyone got any exciting weekend plans?

I don't thank fuck!
Feet up, wine, takeaway and a good book are the only things on my agenda

I used to love Discworld books. I met his daughter Rhianna many years ago.

What is your takeaway of choice?

 

[HoneyMeadows]

I'm staying in tonight. Looking forward to some down time

I used to follow her on twitter before it went to shit.

I'd choose a curry if I could but my kid can't do spicy so it'll probably be pizza

Chinese is my poison of choice, but like your dilemma, my kids won't have it either so it's chippy or.pizza whenever we do takeaway together.

Well ... This is ... fun.

Does anyone want a pear drop?

I'm staying in. Thanks for reading my post Wonky
I feel so valued

I read your post and you mentioned reading a good book & then later it wasn't the one that I was hoping for

I love pear drops and cola cubes. Yes please! Hello Wonky and the rest of you lot.

Happy FriYay!!!!!!

Ditto! Both are great but I haven't had any for a while. I bought some pear drops today and got six in a packet for £1.20.

I feel cheated. I'm going to ring The Guardian and complain.

 

[Wriggle]

That’s obtuse!

Do you remember clove rock too? And chewy wrapped sweets called Rhubarb and Custard?

There was a shop over the road from my school and we'd go there in dinner time and buy them by the quarter.
I used to like toffee bon bons too

 

[Wriggle]

Over in Oswaldtwistle by us they have the world's biggest Pear Drop and it's really manky because it's been there since 1983

I wasn't a fan of clove rock at all! Aniseed too.

They still have Rhubarb and Custard here. We have a small shop here called Granelli's and they stock a lot of sweets that you just can't get in many places now. It's like a little Aladdin's Cave in there. I'll go there for my next fix of Pear Drops.

Were they the ones with the icing sugar on them? Yellow and pale pink? They would stick your insides together!!!

 

[Wriggle]

I'll also accept aniseed balls.

I miss the pick n mix that was at Woolies
