God yeah, they were depressing. It took time to "get over" those too. Like your mind had to adjust to the fact that she wasn't in your life anymore.

Bonkers.

I had two dreams like this once that featured the same girl. I can't adequately describe her because her beauty was so otherworldly. All I can tell you is that she was a mixed race girl with big blue, almost purple-ish eyes and a countenance that shone. She was easily the most beautiful woman I have ever seen (don't tell my girlfriend I said that though...). In both dreams, we'd just hooked up and at that same point, the dream slowly faded, and I would wake up, cursing reality.

Are there any sweets you can buy in Britain that you can't get in the US?

[noobish hat]

What are you talking about? There are millions.

[toythatkills]

Millions?





There probably are millions, yeah, but I don't know what they are - probably should have phrased the question better! What sweets can you get in the UK that you can't (normally) get in the US?

[abigsmurf]

Shrimps and foam bananas.
Sugar mice/sugar pigs
Sherbet dib dabs
Liquorice allsorts
dolly mixtures
fruit pastels
Jelly babies
Wine Gums
Milky way(US variety is fairly different)
Milkybars

Plus any number of penny jar sweets.

I bought a Milkyway the other day expecting a retro taste sensation, how wrong I was! I had to endure the rest of the bar it was truly awful

[randombs]

Whats happened to Milky Ways? I get the Asda ones now, they taste fine to me...

[Spatial]

Milky Way Magic Stars?

Dunno if they get those stateside but I had the misfortune to catch 10 minutes of that woeful Dinner Date programme on ITV yesterday and there seemed all round wonderment that one of the bints had slapped some on top of the desert.

The way the bloke was coo'ing, you'd swear she'd just shot them out of her very own starfish or something.

[prinnysquad]

The day they changed Milky Ways from brown to white centre, I died a little bit.

I thought they always were white?

[abigsmurf]

Careful, we're edging into 'marathon bars' territory here.

[Spatial]

Or Lion Bars.

Or Drifters.

Those were never the same once they changed them

[Jebus]

Double Deckers used to be big too!

[prinnysquad]

Milky Ways used to have a brown centre, I'm sure of it. Is that not right, people?

Marathon >>> Snickers (WHAT a wanky name!)
Opal fruits >>> Starburst (generic bollocks, the type of name a primary school kid would call a sweet they made up)
