Green & Blacks and Lindt make what I consider proper chocolate. As in, there's confectionery chocolate like the stuff you sent us and we sent you which is for like having when you fancy something sweet with a cup of tea or whatever. And then there's proper chocolate which tastes of chocolate and causes hormonal explosions in your brain. Dark and bitter as all fuck - not for munching on, just for having a piece of now and then.

I like a bit of dark chocolate now and then. Not as much as I used to but some times the urge strikes me.

Yay! Relieved they've arrived. I should have sent some Greens & Black's, soz. I should have sent some Lindt Swiss made chocolate too as I control. They do better chocolate than Brits.

Awww, you have the /nice/ American accent like my friend Nathan :D

Yeah, think it's a combination of some mild hayfever and a cold I've caught off of the boy.

 

Damn virulent kids!

 

I'll watch your video tonight when I've got some sound!

Very good - you should definitely eat the pork scratchings, though.

I reckon mouse should share Kens address, and every forumite should pledge to buy an extra black pudding on every supermarket trip and post it off to him until he tries one.

happy to send steak & kidney pies

I'll send some haggis, too. In batter.

(vomit)

Thanks everyone and Mouse for sending us candy. I'll round up the kids after work and we will do some tasting!

:) I wish I had an accent like Kenny. I was going to try it on the video but I'm afraid I'd have scared everyone away!

Someone seems to have drilled holes in your walls. I'd have words with them about that, if I were you.

That is my "shop". I used to run a full time computer repair business. These days I just do it as needed. It is in need of a major remodel but I don't have the funds for it right now.

Never let kids run the camera. Tomorrows /has/ to be better! And my daughter wants to try some with us then.

Edit. I can't get any youtube to embed at all. Using the new link deal or the embed code. Grr.

So here's the link.

Get a tripod/stand/whatever so nobody needs to hold it, and you can eat together and we can watch your expressions. :P

I'm gonna have my wife hold it for us, she just got braces and now refuses to join us.

Braces for teeth or for trousers?

If the latter, I can understand her not wanting to be seen; they're a strange and terrible contraption, no idea why anyone would wear them - but there's no reason not to eat chocolate with a half metal mouth. What's she worried about? There are no anti-aug protesters here? :P

The former. And she just got them last week and is having a very hard time eating anything but ice cream. She's wanted them for years and now all I hear is bitching about how bad they hurt. Women are never happy man!

You sure it isn't just an excuse to eat lots of icecream?

I didn't know they did braces for adults, thought only kids/teenagers had them.

Tell her it hurts more being punched in the mouth*, so stop moaning or you might prove it. (Or maybe don't, since she might demonstrate on you... at least wait until you've eaten the chocolate.) :P

* I don't know if it actually does, since I've never had either done to me. I'm just guessing.

They will give them to whoever is willing to pay for them I suppose. Both my kids have them and so does the wife. $9000 worth of metal in mouths around here!

And I think it would hurt me just as much as her, I can't imagine the pain of punching someone with braces!
