    It's caramel flavoured and i think it's lovely it's only €1 for a big bar in my local.

    Often opened the bar with the intention of eating some to find that the some turned into all.

    Pretty much any game involving Necro becomes a gif off.

    Tried to find a pic to suit me more but found out if you google "old fat woman covered in chocolate" the results are suprisingly not like that.
    If you would be kind enough to send Nestlé my efforts on their behalf i will share the money with you. Unless i get paid in chocolate, then i keep it all.

    Ara lookit.

    It's redundant at this stage.


    To the victor goes the spoils.

    Boardsies have decided that the Greatest Christmas song of all time is


    Dean Martin - Let it Snow





    A conclusive victory in the final by a score of 18-9.


    Let It Snow Voters:

    Also Starring LeVar Burton

    And the Official Boardsies Best Christmas Film is ........





    Die Hard (1988)



















    (I shoulda spent the hour prepping some gifs but I never thought until now :P)





    Final score 20-12.



    Which means that Die Hard is the Greatest Christmas Movie Ever, has the Greatest Christmas Song Ever in its soundtrack

    Which makes it clearly the greatest movie of all time :pac:


    Thanks for all the votes and the nominations, this has definitely been the tournament I've enjoyed running most this year.


    So from me and Bruce and Dean -

    I have to say, it is a bit of a let down having no caramel in a presumed caramel bar, but they are quite nice. & I don't like normal Aero. The mint one is lovely though.

    *oh & they have a mint hot chocolate in Costa too. I'd say it'll be rank though. Hot mint chocolate:confused:

    Ah I chose Wizzard to win because I needed something to cheer me up after Bing getting knocked out, but Let It Snow is a lovely Christmas song. Just as good as Bing, so nice winner!

    Had a lot of fun in this game Necro thanks a lot for putting it on :)

    I voted for Wizzard, but it's hard to argue with such flawless logic.

    Thanks for another superb competition Necro, it was great fun.

    Mint hot chocolate is a gift from the gods. Hotel Chocolat in Dundrum do a dark mint hot chocolate. It is truly magnificent. I actually bought a bottle of mint oil recently just so I can make my own at home.

    Echo everybody else's words here. that was great fun thanks Necro. A fitting winner.

    And on the chocolate debate. Caramel Aero is a swizz. i thought it would have actual caramel but its just flavoured. mint Aero is my fav of the Aeros so I'm very interested in the mint hot chocolate Zaph.

    They still make them, but even better were Wispa Bites - a Wispa Gold with pieces of biscuit in it.

    But mint is cool & refreshing. So how does hot, cool & refreshing work together:confused: .Sounds like a threesome destined for failure

    Another song that did not get nominated: Walk Out to Winter by Aztec Camera- a pleasant tune.

    Was December Will be Magic by Kate Bush nominated? I always liked that one too.

    Incidentally, I heard the winner this evening on Christmas FM - I think on average I have heard it once a day on Christmas FM since its FM launch this year!
