Default Slouch Hats Etc.

Spin Ball - the hats come in sizes Big, Bigger and Biggest.

Keefy - Pie floaters are dear to my heart. THERE IS NO WAY THEY ARE GETTING THAT RECIPE.

Cliff - I agree, Captain Morgans is the one although Bundy Black is pretty good.

BTW LMAO is not what happened here. It was more a case of Almost PMPL

Oh! and Jon, I think us Antipodeans could donate our various tributes to the Canadian cause of Lets Buy Our Third Blitz For Canada Fund.

Default the power of tim tams

Michael has found a new use for Tim Tams, he's been fishing and has apparently almost caught a girl with them. See if the rest of you can go fishing and achieve the same results. It'll be interesting to see if she follows him back home for more. So anyone who manages to buy a Tim Tam off Jon please use them wisely as they can be invaluable to those who are able to go fishing.

Default Tim Tams

A friend of mine runs SWEET CITY in Southampton, which is devoted to selling candy and sweets you cannot get anywhere else e.g. US Cinnamon Tic-Tacs, etc. Anyhow I mentioned he ought to sell Tim Tams because MLU keeps mentioning them..well seems we can get them here in Blighty so I am advising him to try them out!

Anything else he should stock as punters come in from miles around?

David, you're a nice chap an' all, so I'd like to spare you some pain... THE SUGAR FIX IS WORSE THAN AN ADDICTION TO BOOZE AND TOBACCO TOGETHER (see pictures above). Methinks I'll stick to the booze, thank you. Bad enough trying to live with the proof shown above...

Yappy:

To put you out of your misery....

The Tim Tams are in the freezer.

That's the good news....

The bad news is that you are there and the Tim Tams are here...time waits for no man...

BTW, advise Sunray that he needs a size 58 slouch hat...mine fits perfectly.

I wear it every time I watch "Breaker Morant".

Default tim tams

Karmen

is that naughty man from Owen Sound holding your tim tams for ransom maybe or is it a bribe that he wants we haven't heard from him since he received the goodies from Michael and now Michael is home so who knows where he's gone, maybe he is hidding as he has eaten the tim tams and doesn't want to tell you. Maybe you should make a convoy and travel to Owen Sound, don't forget the frying pan, and hopefully retrieve the tim tams in one piece. By the way Michael bought us home some Crown Royal special Reserve so we are happy.

Wow even I can afford them.

Default Also..

..Mr Geoff, I have got a craving for CARAMELO now! I LOOOOOVE Caramel, Butterscotch and sugar derivatives. Not so mad on Rum though, nor booze generally though I can drink FAMOUS GROUSE Scotch and Canadian Rye, and Aussie beers.

When I was in my late teens/early twenties I worked near the Aussie State offices in The Strand in London which were all very near the High Commission. The offices were converted shops and included Aussie trade products for people to see and lust after...displays of Reschs, Tooths, XXXX, Fosters, Swan, all genuine Aussie imports not the gnat's pee they brew here, hooked me. I think I have seen Canadian beer sold here and of course we get Yankee beers which are also brewed here. .And now Hershey's, even in local stores! Their peanut chocolate bars for instance are something to behold..nothing like traditional British choccy bars

Now our major 24-hour supermarket in Salisbury stocks booze from around the world, plus Vegemite, but they have yet to cotton on to the undoubted delights of Tim Tams! Even though we have a lot of Yanks and other NATO service people on exchange around the Salisbury Plain area, this undoubted treat has so far eluded us

Default New Frying Pan!

Karmen, I bought a new frying pan the other day, the biggest one I could find....it's great for frying several rashers of bacon in one go that then go into a toasted sandwich maker {Breville) with lashings of British Brown Sauce preferably HP. The result is very addictive, and so I salute you,
Quote:
THE FRYING PAN LADY
Or 'She Who Must Be Obeyed' as She has a large pan at hand! I thought of you when I saw this humungous pan and thought what I could do with it, just as my daughter asked when we out shopping what I wanted for lunch and we just had some packets of smoked bacon in the fridge. Fried Bacon twice a day is getting to my waistline!

I gather that we Brits crave for Brown Sauce when we go ex-pat...anyone else like it and can you get bottled Brown Sauce alongside Ketchup overseas?

Anywhere near Brunswick ('Braunschweig')? If so, you HAVE to look up my good friend Andreas Mehlhorn. If you DO see him by chance, please pass along my best regards... he's one of "us".

His website: http://www.kettenkrad.de/indexe.htm

Anyone here have his phone number handy?

You GO guy!!! Who cares about the waistline when Tim Tams are so yummy (I don't ) and affordable ? Now if only they were locally obtainable for me, without having to fight for my rightfully due Tim Tams that are held as ransom a mere couple of hours away?

May Tim Tams always be at hand for you and your pocket always be full of coins to buy them!

Pray tell Master Herkman ... WHAT liquid do you wash your Tim Tams down with? I plan to use my Tijm Tams as a straw to drink my coffee through them ... someone (Michael) gave me that :idea: lately

Hey Dude-David, I like yore atty-tude! Thank you for thinking of me and I, too, enjoy fried bacon! I'm sure you and your frying-pan have begun a very long and fulfilling relationship and you will love her no end ... as it is SO true that the way to a mans heart (a womans too) is through his (her) TUMMY! Who cares when the belly begins to grow and its bacon or Tim Tams, not babies, growing? ... and the frying pan is a versatile thing indeed, playing many roles and fulfilling many needs, as a dangeroius and deadly weapon or an obedience training tool. I'd never part with mine!

YES ... HP sauce available in our stores
