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.

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

No need to be radical about it, because no chocolate of today is what it
used to be, but Lindt is still fairly good and should be ranking in the top
three.
How exactly does it work when a US firm 'takes over' a Canadian company?
I thought we had our own problems in being taken over by the Chinese and a
lot of well known others.
I am always open for suggestions.....

Not sure if I've been there. I was thinking it was Bridgenorth, but I could
be wrong. Wherever it was, I passed through it once, heading for
Wolverhampton iirc (another hole - but then Norton was already dead by
then - indeed, NVT was dead by then). I remember something about it that
made me never want to be there again!

Hook, in Hampshire, used to be nauseating - that was a sweet factory, about
100 yrds off the A30, in the centre of town, next to the train station. If
you went through in a car, with the windows down and vents shut it was
bearable. Go through on a bike and it was all you could do not to vomit.
Clearly the residents of Hook didn't notice a thing! Though when I was last
there, in the early nineties, the factory was no longer there and there was
a 24-hr Tesco just a short distance further along. I wonder if the Hookites
were going there and gagging on the *absense* of concentrated cocoa stench?

Then, of course, following the general direction to London - at least if you
got onto the M3 - you come to Chertsey. That still *does* smell like
Cippenham. My dad had a name for the site that sounded like a colloquialism,
consisting of 'Chertsey', 'Farm', and the magic ingredient.

Cadburys tastes like the gustatory realization of the smell that
permeates the a certain section of the M4.

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. Shane

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?

Sorry to hear about your Mum....but glad she is OK. Ron is doing
relatively well, other than looking like Methusalah!! He grew a beard
years ago. Can't remember if he had it in England.


Perhaps he *got* it in England? That's one product we still make to last. He
could come back to get it serviced, probably.


Poor Casey had some medical problems too. What I thought was a
cataract turned out to be glaucoma and he lost the sight in one eye. He is
on daily eye drops now and bitches every day when I put them
in. One good thing.....he can't see them coming so doesn't blink and
avoid them, lol. Just one eye, which the vet says is quite unusual.


So the ol' medical whatsit that I believe you can actually acquire legally
in Toronto (?) no good for cats? Or is that in the drops?

How's Rosie doing?? Or is that spelled "Rosey"??


Right first time. She's fine!

Back when I used to grow the you-know-what (and would again if I could,
here - if only so's the British Govt. could shove it up their...) she used
to jump up and chew the lower leaves. Thing is, she does it with other
houseplants too (e.g. Rose, Ficus). She only chews the drying, yellowing
leaves. So I don't know what she gets from that. Potassium?

Think he'd like another mouse? Not that I have any old socks anymore. But I
expect Canadian Customs need something to do?

Mmmmmm, love hot cross buns and wish they would make them at other
times of the year.

Cheers.....Casey's Mom.

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.

Hi to everyone and a Happy Easter!! (or Bunny Day, as I call it).
Heading over to the neighbours for a traditional early Easter

Take care......Figgs

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.

I didn't bother with Hot Cross Buns this year but I did get a Warburtons Hot
Cross Loaf, had a couple of slices toasted on Saturday and loved it g
Certainly wouldn't go out buying Lindt Bunnies, they cost a fortune and
you're only paying for the name cheaper to go and buy a bar of chocolate, I
like dark chocolate, although I do like milk chocolate when it's a bar of
Cadburys Whole Nut or Fruit and Nut g
