Pretty cool, Ginny has a bunch of my photo's in her Guilty Pleasure Tour album on Facebook. Glad she seems to like them enough!

It's mainly down to the fact it tastes like vomit.

Your chocolate was originally made with sour milk, ours was not. Hence the difference.

Oh, I guess because American chocolate is all I've known since a child I don't find it unpleasant. I think I am more fond of Nestle's than I am of Hershey's. Hershey's chocolate seems thicker or something to me. Maybe it's a good thing they're adding air bubbles ... lol ... My fave candy bar is Kit Kat. I wasn't aware of the history of American chocolate. Thanks !

and ... lol ... Evil One, is this you donning your Christmas finery ? ... lol ...

Other way round. European chocolate is much sweeter and creamier. I always found U.S chocolate had a horrible taste to it, especially Hershey (apart from their mooki'es and cream - the only U.S chocolate I like).

Cadbury and Lindt FTW!

I'm fond of those. Some fluffy nugut (sp) something with a layer of caramel (I'm well fond of caramel !!!) and covered in chocolate.

Yup US Mily Way = Mars bar.

Our Milky Ways are these nectars of the gods:

One of my all time favourite chocolate bars.

I'm still waiting for Cadbury's to do a Wispa with strawberry cream filling. That would be the nectar of the gods.

Oh, yes, that looks similar, but there's no caramel filling, right ?

I'm sorry. I don't know who derren is. I'll check the internet. I read Garth Brooks has added shows in Vegas through June 2012. Should I ever hit the big lottery, going to see Garth in Vegas will be added to my Bucket List ... lol ... Right now on my Bucket List is get to the Salvation Army and buy a couple books for cheap... lol ...

He's not touring. He's contracted with Steve Wynn's casino in Vegas. From what I heard, Garth's gone acoustic. I'm not sure a band is with him. I'll have to look into it. I wouldn't mind just Garth, though. I enjoyed the Storytellers show he did a couple years back on VH1. The tickets originally were going cheap... maybe 20 dollars or so... but for some reason they were jacked up to 125.00, maybe ? That's the Vegas way, I suppose... bah ... lol ...

if you'd done it online or via telephone you wouldn't need your certificate because they check with their database to see that the car has valid insurance and MOT. This can prove very handy when you've moved house three times in the last 2 years
