Goodness!! I didn't expect such a rant from such a skinny young lad,
LOL!! Perhaps you need to have a bunny or two to sweeten you
up.....(and you can figure this one out for yourself, snicker).

Actually, there was a Canadian chocolate company that was better than
any you can name......unfortunately they either folded or got *taken
over by a US company*. That is also a euphemism for *buy it and destroy
it*.

Oops.....Ron calling to say my supper is superbly cooked and on the
table....I have taught him well, lol.

Kissies, Furball......Figgs

Lindt... world's best choccies?... you are JOKING!!!!!
That stuff you have to be half-cut to like, and totally p***ed to
'appreciate'!
You have been zombied by the hype!

there is no such thing as 'the world's best choccie' - everyone has
their own preferences in terms of cocoa content, sugar/milk content,
etc.... but in terms of the flavour (despite a LOT of failings in
other departments), Cadbury's still has a lead. I find the Swiss-type
choccy to have a very floury mouth-feel, and a fairly insipid
after-taste. Bitter or dry I can understand, but insipid? (cocoa is on
of the world's most bitter substances, after all!)
Yes, Cadbury's is oversweet, and lacking in bite (unless you talk
about Bourneville....)but at least it tastes of Cocoa!....

My mum was in hospital in January (she's okay) and my sister and I
were visiting and shopping and stuff. At Sainsburys (you probably saw
several when you were here, likely from the inside too!) the Easter
Eggs were on sale. We got a small Lindt (world's best chocolate)
bunny each (200 kcal max.). At the checkouts were piles of packs of
Hot Cross Buns on offer (something like 2 for 1, you know? So it
wasn't like "have some Hot Cross Buns in January!" so much as "Have
twice as many Hot Cross Buns in January!").

Last year Easter was in March, which killed the whole thing stone
dead for me! But the first time I got sunburnt to were I peeled - and
I tan - was on Easter Sunday 1980, working on the roof of Pershore
General Market. And it was on the same job that I knackered my back.
So Easter Schmeaster!

I see Jesus looked like Max Von Sydow! I suppose Linda Blair was the
spit of Mary Magdalene. Shame Barbera Hershey doesn't live here
though.

Everyone well, I trust? How's Casey? Haven't heard about the chap in
a while.

Hey Figgs,

What I say - these days - is give up on free AV for 9x. Go for the
best deal on a quality paid option. For instance, NOD32. I got a 2
year license for 3 machines and they don't have to be at the same
location. So three users can get NOD32 for two years for not so
very
much, particularly if split three ways. IIRC they do three year
deals
also. And v2.7 - that even runs on Win 95 still - remains
available.
I daresay other companies have vaguely similar deals.

Of course, for those afraid they could die after only getting one
year's use out of it, it is a dilemma!

But it gets to the point where if there are no circumstances in
which
a user will consider paying for AV software, they might as well not
use any and I figure that time is just about reached with Win Me.

Hi HD......glad to see you found the spot. And also glad you have
now
munged your address. These folks should be able to advise you.
Personally, I would keep the version of Avast that you have and
let
it
update the definitions. But I will see what the rest say.

I need a new free anti-virus program to work with my beloved
WinMe,
and Rising Anti-virus Free and Avast seem to be the only ones
around.
Avast stops support for WinMe at the end of this year, leaving
Rising
as my best bet. Anyone with experience with Rising Free? Good?
Bad?
