Yes, I'm so Happy! 2012

I enjoyed the Yorkshire joke. An Irish friend once told me that copper wire was invented when a Yorkshireman and a Scot were fighting over a penny.

hahahahaha, I love it!!

I'll have a look for "Our Mate" then. I think I've seen it in the supermarket. I don't like weetbix with milk, they just go to sludge but crisp with butter and marmite, OK.

I think NZers DO have a sweet tooth generally. Look at the way our kids gulp down soft drinks and garbage of that kind. And I'm partial to an ice-cream or two on a hot day. Mind you, by the time I've ploughed my way through a large cake of chocolate, I really long for a good salty cheese.

Helen, I take back every word I said.

Lesley, I forgive you

You must eat much more slowly that I do. They are far too dry to eat without milk. I had a "melting moment" with lunch (which was various bits of left over cheese on toast with Pinot Noir jelly sold for going with cheese - btw jelly is not jam) today. Couldn't eat it all as it was too dry. My mouth got gummed up!

I have them (only rarely though, probably if I've forgotten to replenish the rolled oats for porridge) with my morning coffee. The melting moments I know are two flattened biscuits of a pale yellow colour, firm texture but literally melt-in-the-mouth, and held together with icing. Very yum.

I think this particular bakery has the melting moments wrong, as they should be as you described Lesley.

Not sure if I should be happy or horrified.  I see I have spent 60 days and almost 2 hours logged into the forum.  I need to get out more
I suppose I could do worse things with my time. 

[Maggi Young]

It's winter, Roma, where else could you be?

Roma think of the money you are saving not going out

[Lesley Cox]

I, a mere 55 days! No need to worry about addiction then.
I don't think I've saved much money Angie. If I were not a Forumist I would never have heard of Chadwell and Pavelka and Holubec and Pilous and others. Or maybe I'd have heard of them but not had the extra push to do something about them. THAT's my addiction.

What a voice ... what a songwriter.

[David Nicholson]

Not sure if this  is Good news or Bad ?
