Feeling generous and don't want to give me cash? Then buy me some shit!

  • T-shirt Hell - NOTE Please check current import duty restrictions for sending stuff to the UK. Order too many and the bastards will charge me!
  • Amazon UK - mainly books, but some other stuff, too.
  • ThinkGeek - got to love weird geeky stuff. Again, please note import restrictions - and the postage from here is ridiculous.

I love Asda

Midget Gems

These look like fakes, too

Screw all you anti-global-hypermarket lot. I love Asda. And for one reason only. Check out their dirt cheap “Smart Price” Midget Gems. They look like the old Lion Ones. They’re almost (but not quite) as hard and chewy as the old Lion ones. They taste, not too far away from how the old Lion ones did. They’re about 30p a bag.

And the black ones are liquorice.

I’ve not bought any Lions ones since Maynards bought them out. The other colours in the Asda packets aren’t quite so good, but it’s a matter of principle. I could consider buying both and giving the Maynards black ones away, but I couldn’t force myself to spend money on them.

Fuck you, Maynards. Fuck you and your blackcurrant black Midget Gems (unless you buy them from jars or other trade-size containers). Asda’s where it’s at. I’ll be buying a basket-load of these next time I’m passing by.

  • Howay, bonny lad. 3-1.

    Three bloody one \o/

  • Oh, and back on subject, could you start a campaign to get M&S to reintroduce mint allsorts. Ta muchly.

  • I didn’t want to brag… but still, two games to go. Ourman just pointed out to me that if we and Hull pick up any more points and the mackem filth don’t… then they drop as well.

    Bwahahaha

  • Mint Allsorts? In internet parlance: WTF?

    I’ve never even heard of them! Didn’t have much luck getting Maynards to give us out liquorice Midget Gems back. It seems sweetie manufacturers are stubborn bastards. Look how long it took to get the Wispa back. I’d be all for a return for Texans, Nutty bars and Pacers myself. Oh, yeah – and Splicers. Nobody else remembers them.
