Hi Spence, according to Amazon it's not out until October 24. I'm not pre-ordering because the last time I did that (for the remastered "Born Sandy Devotional") Amazon simply brilliantly forgot about me. I look forward to finding out what you are talking about with Josef K. | ||

Cheers Randy.  Hopefully you'll like Josef K. There's really an air of originality to them. Plus, they didn't milk it, although Malcolm Ross ahs commented to me in the past that they were really forging ahead with their latter repotoire and it might of been worth their while sticking around a bit... ho hum. | ||

Seeing as how we are "calling all americans", how come your chocolate is sh1t? Just had some Hersheys Kisses, they taste like sick! Britains chocolate is second to none!! | ||

Hey man, we don't know any better (look at our President)...yeah, I've heard that our chocolate is pretty unpalatable to you guys...I think they try to disguise the lack of quality by pumping a lot of sugar into it...I go for Dove when I eat chocolate, just for the record... | ||

If you think Hershey is bad, Kevin, try Ghirardelli. | ||

I like Hershey's. In my first ever night in the US (June 1989) I was staying in Boston College and bought a Hershey's from a vending machine. I got a coke from the machine beside it. That was America encapsulated right there and then for me (well, if R.E.M. were playing on a jukebox and The Godfather II was on a screen in front of me that would have really captured my love of America). | ||

Padraig, you have just reminded me I have still to watch Godfather II which I recorded on my Sky + box last week. Is this your favourite film, or just pertinant to this thread? | ||

It's one of my favourite American films that came out - and I'd seen - prior to arriving in the US in 1989. I could have said To Kill A Mockingbird if I'd thought of it; but I'm not sure I saw that before 1989 anyway. | ||

Godfather II: LK likee very much...our chocolate may suck but we make a pretty bad ass gangster movie! Kev, just out of curiousity, what do you consider the best brand of chocolate from the UK? If I ever see it, I'll try it... | ||
| kevin Member Username: Kevin Post Number: 765 Registered: 05-2005 |
The most famous brand is Cadburys. My favourite is called Dairy Milk which is just chunks of plain milk chocolate. Cadburys have a whole range of stuff http://www.cadbury.co.uk/EN/CTB2003/ We also have Snickers and Mars bars etc, they originate in the States dont they? | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 704 Registered: 03-2006 |
Yeah, I've had Cadbury's...good stuff...I thought you might throw some exotic stuff at me I hadn't heard of...Yes, they do, but I don't think they're made by Hershey's - I think Mars Co. is a completely separate conglomerate... With this thread and the prettiest female one, I think we can we board folks have covered everything! | ||

that was meant to read "we can SAY"...late night typing.... | ||
| kevin Member Username: Kevin Post Number: 766 Registered: 05-2005 |
If you are looking for exotic stuff, Thorntons are pretty good. They sort of specialise in gift wrapped stuff, for birthdays, anniversaries, christmas etc. Lindt chocolates are good, think they might be Swiss. The Swiss have a reputation for being the masters of chocolate making, suppose they have to be famous for something! | ||

You're makin' me hungry! | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 700 Registered: 05-2005 |
Cadbury's is down the road for me, in Bournville, Birmingham, so that's where we'll have the convention!!!!!!!! | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 385 Registered: 08-2004 |
Lindt are good. | ||

kevin, have you ever had Dove chocolate, it's taste like (insert nirvana-esque adjective here) | ||
| kevin Member Username: Kevin Post Number: 769 Registered: 05-2005 |
Cant say I have Matthias. Isnt there a chocolate ice cream called Dove, maybe I'm wrong? there is an ice cream covered in chocolate called Magnum - magnificent! |
