Felidae likes I once had someone compare fighting me to fucking me. It was a compliment. Believe similar and my crush'll be you.

The Demise of Proper Chocolate

Since Cadburys has been sold out I'm really rather pissed off. Nobody needs to know that their favourite chocolatiers will soon be banished from the landscape. I don't really even have a sweet tooth at all (the result of after a year sat typing realising I couldn't fit into my pants anymore - incidentally I now have the opposite problem); however I threw a fit of sulks because DAMMIT I WANT CADBURYS!

In lieu of this when I went randomly shopping the other day I browsed my way into a second hand shop that had a Cadburys mug sat on the shelf. The owner was haggling with some second hand stranger over some equally second hand goods. He was busy and said I could have the mug for 75% the asking price. Great. "I'm busy right now, you take it, come back tomorrow." This is not normal selling spree technique.

The next day I had a crisis of conscience and called back in at the shop because I had some ridiculous nagging doubt that karma would let me get away with it. "Hello, I bought this mug yesterday and the seller told me I could pay for it today."

The guy behind the counter looked like I'd just exploded. "Uh, okay...two pounds?"

"Great." And I forked over two pounds. Original price? Four fifty.

Two pounds is apparently what it costs for being honest. Turns out nobody on the planet has honesty anymore.

Fun Felidae Fact: I just made a sword. Go me!

That's pretty awesome. I would probably do the same thing, otherwise I'd live with guilt....

Loads of people are worried about it. They know the american choccy tastes like plastic.

I find it really weird how all those things I only used to hear about in old movies like Poltergeist are now on our own shelves (Oreos, Cheerios etc).

Fun Mike Fact: I firewalked on hot coals for the DIane Fossey Gorilla Fund ... before I learned that she used to catch farmers and wrap them in barbed wire to trees!

wow im amazed at your honest, its nice to see that there are some good people out there!

the cadbury take over is such a shame, i go past the bornville factory everyday on the train. I dont think that place will close anytime soon but its just weird to think that it was built as a model village, out of cadburys pocket to provide a place for the workers... and kraft backdown on their promise of keeping workers!!! im never going to cadbury world again smile
