As well as the Klipsos and Mint Crisp you have Macaroon bars also.
Does anyone remember the Smiley Bars?
They were basically Orange Flavoured Chomp bars. I miss them.
Used to love Tayto Snaps as a kid, but these days its like biting on air bubbles.
They're not a bit dense, I'm not sure if this was always case.0 -

Hmm,
Pink Panther Bars
A quarter of apple drops
Spangles
Jawbreakers
When Snickers were called Marathon bars
Lollipops for a half penny.
The 70s were good times!
We're Pink Panther bars the sponge cake yokes with bright pink icing? They were AMAZING.
Apple drops were grand but for me it was all about cola cubes, sherbet lemons, acid drops and chewing nuts. Oh and fizzy cola bottles and astro belts!
I remember snickers being called Marathon too. Christ I'm old.
Not old enough to remember half pennies and decimalisation though.

Cafferys , the guys who made the macaroon bar on top if I remember rightly , are based around the corner from the house I grew up in.As were Brennan's bakery , so basically half the mornings I remember , everything smelled either of cooking toffee, or baking bread.As well as the Klipsos and Mint Crisp you have Macaroon bars also.

Lovely!
A few years later I ended up living in clonee, which is downwind of the Keypack rendering plant...
Not so lovely!0 -

Aye. I feel a glitch coming on. An NTSC-J one. That copy of Ketsui I've had lying around sealed on my shelf for the past 6 or so months is hopefully going to be played soon.
A glitch knows no regions.
Connect a 1TB hard drive to it, install ALL your games and put those discs back in their boxes where they belong. I reckon it won't be long before you hook it up to your cab and those LS-56s... :cool:0 -

Alas I discovered the 4gb Slim there is NOT glitchable (yet). However my other 360 Slim, the 250gb one, IS glitchable.
So I'm going to glitch the old console (thanks for the heads up ImmediateEntrance) and do a bit of storage shuffling if I can.
Toying with cabbing the glitched box but I dunno, see how it goes.
Spent all evening playing with the Lumia 800. It's a lot better than I thought it was now I've spent a good bit of time with it. You do miss the apps the iPhone has, and the current lack of tethering (until the fw update comes soon) is really annoying.
That said, the speech recognition is absolutely unbelievable. Here's an example:
iPhone: "Siri. Find shoe shops in Dublin 2"
Response: "Fine chew chops dubbin too"
Lumia 800: "Where's my nearest Supervalu?"
Response: "Where's my nearest Supervalu"
It actually distinguished Supervalu from Super Value. I've absolutely no idea how.
For the laugh I tried stacks of wild requests such as:
"Where can I ferment potassium chloride?", "Where can I rent a moped in East Timor?" and for the craic, as I type this, I said as fast as I could "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
It got every request right. Every time. No messing.
First night with it is nearly over and I have to say, colour me very impressed with Windows Phone. Very impressed indeed.0 -

The only good thing that ever came out of Dundrum was the bowling alley.
Serious arcade that I spent all my youth and money in.
It was straight opposite this(which used to be a video store) in the "town centre"
F%%k all the rest of it..Bring the bowler back and shove your House of Fraiser up your Wazoo.0 -
