    The OH a few weeks ago bought a tin of Quality street and a tin of Roses.
    The QS didnt last long except ehen she went to open them for the toy show there was only the Orange and Strawberry ones left.
    She had the cheek to blame me and warned me about eating the Roses.
    Now more than half the Roses are gone, wrappers left in tin cos I cant risk putting them in the bin.
    I pigged out on them last night as I stayed at home while she was at her work do.
    I fear that when I remember to buy the fresh tin THEY will be sold out.
    This would never happened in the boom as we nearly bought a tin for everyone so I could hide my discretion now its different in the recession.
    What to do?
    Your thoughts?

    If she complains just punch her in the gee.

    Buy more roses.
    They never sell out. At christmas, this country stocks up on tins of roses and we have enough to feed an African country.

    Well, you've saved the wrappers, so do a big pooh, don the Marigolds and start fashioning Walnut Whips and the like out of your faecal matter.

    Then sit back after Christmas dinner and watch the in-laws' faces as they realise that something isn't quite right.

    Go on on a diet

    I've got a contact. He could have you out of the country on a new passport before she gets home.

    Alternatively, we could have her killed.

    Failing that we could stage a break in where the burglar was a fat chocolate munchin baxtard.

    Let me know, I can be your friend on this.

    Nutty logs make a come back to tins of roses.

    1./ Replace the chocolates when she is out Christmas shopping or wasting time gossiping with the neighbours.

    or

    2./ Don't bother. You are by now a total fat bastad and will die of a heart attack in about 3 days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet


    replace them all with celebrations to make her think she is a mentalist


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,288 ✭✭✭TheUsual


    After Hours Memo : Don't anyone be tempted by the chocolates when you visit El Weirdo's this Christmas.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    Don't be a fat sad bastard. Your OP reminds me of this guy. Let it be a warning.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭Amalgam


    Piss on her chips, refill the tin with After Eights.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone


    Sure you may as well eat the rest of them now.

    Remind me never to go to your house for Christmas.

    Roses and Quality Street, the default of a country that hasn't a clue what good chocolate tastes like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    does anyone want to swap their caramel barrels for my orange cremes?

    Yeah, go on then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    The orange and strawberry ones are my favourite
    I thought they were everyone's favourite


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I fear that when I remember to buy the fresh tin THEY will be sold out.
    They'll be selling them all come Christmas eve for €4.99 a tin.


    The shops sell tins of this stuff one minute past 12 at night after Halloween for people that buy tins of sweets and can't keep them for Christmas. They'll probably have sold you a 4 tins before Christmas week even hits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Butterface


    After all these years, I'm still in mourning for the loss of coffee cremes from the tin of Roses. How could you do this to me Cadbury's?!!:mad:

    Good chocolate tastes expensive.

    Buy a new tin of QS and put them in the Roses tin and tape the tin up again.

    Then get her to open it...

    I'm actually all for this idea, proper mind fúck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,004 ✭✭✭Ann22


    I love the orange, strawberry and fudge Quality streets.

    My son thinks freshly opened, tins of Roses smell like feet.:confused: I don't know about the feet thing but I'd prefer the Quality Street centres...although, deep inside my very being, I know Roses, being Cadbury's have uncomparable chocolate taste and texture.

    Reminds me of this.

    I always try and nick as many Rose and orange roses out of a box/ tin when nobody is looking, the rest of the sweets are mingin tbh. Notice how all the sweets in the blue, green and silver wrappers are left until last, they are manky

    I must disagree with the majority of this statement.

    Boxes of Roses eaten................buy health insurance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭wyndham


    Who the fck eats the toffee pennies? I thought everyone threw those away. They just rip your teeth out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    Poo in the box of roses. When she looks at you with an air of disgust and bafflement, tell her that roses really smell like poo poo poo





  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭GRMA


    Heres what you do... we all know if you replace them you'll eat em again, but try that first, then;

    Buy a necklace or a bracelet and put it in the empty roses Tin with some rose petals... Then insist it's not opened until christmas, when she does open it then, its not "Lando you fat prick!" but instead you are a thoughtful so and so...

    .........this is after reminding me that there is a box of Celebrations hidden in
    the turf box....Thanking you:D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 581 ✭✭✭phoenix999


    Cadburys have ruined Roses and nestle their Celebrations by changing the shapes and the flavours. Why fix something if it' not broken. Used to love the round truffle and maltesar ones. Then they reduced them in size into some dumb shape. They ruined the taste too. Nestlé also fcuked up all the Aero bars.

    "Boxes of Roses eaten?" thought that this was going to be some sort of Rose of Tralee sex scandal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Christmas officially begins when you can finally open the Quality Street :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    If she complains just punch her in the gee.

    If you do punch her in the gee, I will be around double quick time to massage her gee better with my penis. Be warned!

    Disgusting.

    Can't stand chocolate that comes in a tin like that personally, don't know why. Probably shouldn't have eaten it OP.
