Double cheers for that. On that site there was a news link about Blackpool Tower.
I have an interest in that seeing as I asked my wife to marry me at the top of it.

..You asked your wife to marry you.. in Blackpool?! :eek:

Unless this was a very long time ago and times were very different, it's not exactly the most romantic place in the world.. Unless, you know, you dig chavs, filth and glowsticks.

I like Blackpool, don't get me wrong, but more in a kind of ironic, "oh, this is so seedy and tacky, I love it" way rather than a "oh my god, this is so romantic, let's get married" way!

We took a few minutes out from attending a convention we appear at.

Thats reminds me, I better dig out her egg from its hidden place.
Dopey me would forget about it. :pac:

Sorry for going off topic, Pete.

Did this last year. Ended up buying weird adult eggs for me nieces. They probably don't care. It's all chocolate.

Crikey, just been to SuperValu in Ennistymon - they sold out of eggs two days ago, apparently someone was in from Limerick today after easter eggs....countrywide shortage it seems :eek:

I left with 2 mini mars eggs, giant bag of maltesers and a bar & a half of dairy milk

Korvanica · 03-04-2010 09:37PM

I want this for easter...

Best eggs i ever got were huge cadbury dairy milk ones. About a foot high, with a big 1kg bar aswell...
I won both of them, one year after the next... was awesome

Mint Sauce · 03-04-2010 09:39PM

i have just given into temptation and eaten the two bars that came with one of my easter eggs, ah never mind, hadn't given up anything for lent anyway

Well,it shows how to make it-all you need is 48 creme eggs:D.
I'd say it's as sickening though-not a chance even i'd be able to eat all that:eek:

tman · 03-04-2010 09:43PM

Damn you for bringing the awesome smarties egg to my attention! I want one now but have pretty much zero chance of getting one at this stage:(

Got a spongebob one from my girlfriend, and got her a toy story one:p

This is the first time in about 15 years that I've had an easter egg...

pikachucheeks · 03-04-2010 09:44PM

I saw a really cool Hello Kitty easter egg in Tesco the other day ... seemed a bit sad to buy it for myself though!

You should have.

Chocolate never gets throw out, keeps in the fridge for ages too.

Refrigerated chocolate always tastes better.

Love when shops keep Turkish Delights in the fridge

I had a pocahontas one because my mum said that the Easter Bunny brought the egg version of the last video you watched, which made perfect sense to me at the time.

04-04-2010 10:25AM

why did all the easter eggs get sold out by friday

planning to buy my friend one for ages and now I have nothing for her !! :mad:

jokettle · 04-04-2010 10:59AM

I wanted a creme egg one with a mug, I had one years ago and I know I saw them on sale not long ago! Alas, they are nowhere to be found

I got a fancy Áine Chocolate egg instead

, but it doesn't have a brightly-coloured mug :mad:

If anyone got the creme egg mug this year, don't tell me. I want to believe I imagined their existence.
