A huge bag of candy. Filled up a standard-sized shopping bag full of assorted sugary treats, several packs of cinder toffee, one of my favourites, a few big bags of bubblegum flavour sour jelly thingies, some 'milk bottles' which I really didn't expect much of, which is just as well since they were edible, but crap. Sarsaparilla drops, which aren't 'drops' at all, rather the entire lot solidifies into one giant mass which requires hitting it with something heavy, or whacking it against a table etc. to snap off consumable pieces, tasty though, lots of really hard to break but very good liquorice toffee, this stuff needs a hammer to shatter it whilst still in the packets. And I got a ton of the stuff for free by some happy accident. Ordered three bars online from a specialist sweet shop, and instead, got sent (when I weighed it all, thinking something was up, what was left un-eaten at the time amounted to just under 2kg! Got some 'floral gums', an old childhood favourite, that I'd only ever seen sold in this one little cafe, in anglesey, wales, right near the shore at church bay. Never seen them anywhere else, although I'd looked,couldn't remember their name but finally got lucky and managed to find a pic online whilst buying more candy goodies. Immediately ordered 1/4lb, which for these is a lot, since they are tiny, maybe 4.5-5mm wide, and about a little longer than a .177 cal airgun oellet, They are sort of like midget gems, only harder and with a fruity, floral odour and taste, All of those are gone now though, so I'm stuck having to eat all that candy:D
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

I always need to go to the same one. Who knows, the others might take what I say at face value. :zoinks:

Dry cat food, Royal Canin - the expensive stuff. But the cats love it.

I'm glad I found a good Dutch alternative for that. Way cheaper. Especially when Sirius was still around. He needed diet food.

One of these, but the washer...not the dryer:



Yep, I said I'd never fall for a front load washer with no agitator. I lied.

It hums like a ufo ready for take off.
Now if anyone can identify the tune it plays when it's done...let me know. I'm going nuts trying to figure out what it is.

We had a Westinghouse front loader washing machine back in the 1950's.  No fancy gadgets, just got the job done.  I don't ever recall having to call a repairman for it.

Yahoo answers says it's Clock Town Day 1 from Zelda Majora's Mask. Don't have a good enough ear for music to tell if that's correct.

I found that, it's really close. I still can't tell though whether that's it or not.

Boy thinks it is though, he should know...that was one of his favorite games. :LOL:

I love this one so far.

The evil Maytag is setting in the garage. I think I'm going to take it apart...piece by piece. I have never hated an appliance as much as I hated that damn thing.

It looks very high-tech.

I'd like one - fancy! All mine does is emit even pitched beeps at the end or if a load is off balance.

I bought a card for my niece's 25th birthday and a litre of milk.
