My Husband is a lion tamer and was horrified when he sliced open a Lion bar this evening.
It looks nothing like a lion, very misleading!

Someone told me that Mr Cadbury's Button was married to Mrs Johnson the cleaner, but don't quote me on that.

I gave my tub of Roses to the gardener last year, asking him to plant them out. Still not seen any evidence of growth.

Be right back, just counting my Hundreds and Thousands.

Damned subliminal advertising.

Flirty Romantic - my ds is doing his A levels this year - I give him smarties every morning for breakfast.

My recent game of 10 Pin Bowling was an utter washout due to the uselessness of the 'Skittles' I'd bought. Totally unfit for purpose. Angry Angry Angry

I'm still trying to work out if turkey dinosaurs are made from Turkey or Dinosaurs Confused

I'm still waiting for my Twirl to do it's turn. I thought it would be good Friday night entertainment.

Don't even get me started on the Nerds fiasco. 3 packets later and they're all just sat there and my PC still isn't working.

Procrastination4 · 22/03/2019 21:27

Well there was neither champagne nor bullets in my Magnum so THAT was a double con...

I opened a Bombay Bad Boy earlier, eagerly anticipating a hot spicy lunchtime treat. All I found inside was a lump of dried noodles and powder.

Strange... as my Toffee Crisp earlier certainly lived up to expectations.

Petalflowers · 22/03/2019 21:32

Had a packet of wine gums, and am still sober.

NutButterNutter · 22/03/2019 21:32

Fish don't have fingers, it seems. What the fuck have I been feeding the kids?

drspouse · 22/03/2019 21:34

I know, my chocolate today wasn't Green or Black, it was a brown colour.

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 22/03/2019 21:34

I got breathalysed after eating a whole bag of wine gums and disappointingly the police let me go without so much as a warning.

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 22/03/2019 21:34

And don't even get me started on Starbursts. I bought sunglasses and everything.

Cheeeeislifenow · 22/03/2019 21:35

My jacket potato is not even keeping me warm at all....bloody subliminal messaging!!

Ginkythefangedhellpigofdoom · 22/03/2019 21:35

Cut a starbar open earlier and guess what, not a single fucking star! Angry

Subliminal advertising gone haywire!

My Snickers barely sniggers :(

FlirtyRomanticToast · 22/03/2019 21:36

@iwantatattoo Best of luck to your DS. I have just the thing for him while he's waiting for the Smarties to kick in.

I bought a packet of cock soup the other day. Now I don't know if I can bear to open it.
