Another thing about Cadbury chocolate. It's established that it's terrible and it should be a criminal act to sell such poison to the masses. But if you let that shit go stale, and believe me it goes stale in only a few days, the flavor gets precipitously worse.



This is also a lie.

Once opened keep it in the fridge.

Things that go stale are better than shit that stays "fresh" for eternity (excepting honey)
See bread as a prime example

Second stage job interview tomorrow - after a really good first stage and strings being pulled to get me in on the first day available. Feeling good vibes about the job and really hoping this second stage goes as well as the first, because it would be such a lifter to be able to get out of the current job!

How did it go?


I found out last thing yesterday - I got the job! Should be starting mid-July :D

Here's the upside. You know how they say to keep chocolate away from dogs, it's poisonous to them? Well, even fresh, just bought from the counter Cadbury chocolate; the most lowly, mangiest, flea bitten, starving junk yard dog will not touch. A dog would rather eat his own shit than go near Cadbury. *mic-drop

Continuing with the Cadbury facts: did you know if you drop a Cadbury chocolate in your cats' litter box, they will try to bury it like it is one of their turds? #CadburyFacts

Pointedly refusing to acknowledge such blatant evidence of my old age as Toby's marital and parental status.

Toby! It seems not that long ago you were leading Messremb and I to some hole in the wall bar in London and yet it's actually been a decade. Jesus that's weird to realize. Kudos on the missus and wee one!

I was going to rail against the idea of being old but just as the thought hit my good knee decided to hurt for no reason. There should be PSAs that your body will fail randomly for no reason once you're past 30.

in their fury, and so were cast out,

A wild Toby appears! Welcome back. I thought the Old Bill had nabbed you for sure.

Of course there will be pics!

And to echo Ano, it just seems like a short time ago we had a couple of beers in a pub with Menandore and ... was it Imperial Historian? I still have the pics somewhere.
Same trip as Mal and Hetan's party in Cambridge, the one where Mez puked on the dog ... :rolleyes:

That was mid-2009. Where did the time go? God, I miss those days.

The forum reread.

It's a nice comforting return in trying times, I've clearly forgotten loads so it's good to return to it and a fair few or forum members getting involved.

Special shout out to Apt for running it, and really going into the detail on his thoughts and reactions. Certainly easier for me to muster the brain cells to respond to his reflections than actually have cognizant thoughts of my own!

Yes, that warm relaxing feeling in your perineum.

I think I know what perinium means but I'm afraid of googling it.

At what point does choosing to opt out of society flip from being the right thing to do in a pandemic and start to be hermit-like? Because apart from taking my kid to nursery and going shopping for food, I am shunning all available opportunities to leave the house and I am LOVING it. Not having to go out due to the pandemic has come so easily to me that now I'm wondering if I ever actually enjoyed going out at all. Or have I just become institutionalised in my own home? How do you find out?
