    I gave my daughter her pocket money a short time ago.
    She just arrived back from the shop with an ice cream for me. I think I'll keep her.

    No, I have never seen a mint variety of them around.

    Ice cream within two rectangular biscuits - mostly vanilla ice-cream, but sometimes mint, too.

    Haven't they recently announced that they are changing them to a round rather that rectangle and calling the iceBurger?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,020 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Why do they have to go and ruin things, hmmm?

    I may buy them all & stockpile them.


    Why do they have to go & ruin a good thing.

    Mmmm Sounds good.. What we used to call wafers from the ice cream van; what the adults had while we kids had cornets with raspberry and later, flakes,,

    I knew I'd read something.

    https://www.irishexaminer.com/examviral/hb-are-sure-to-divide-opinions-over-changes-to-iconic-iceberger-834947.html

    Personally I never liked the fact that the biscuit was soft, rather than wafer-like.

    They're a bit doughy

    These aren't wafers, they're actual biscuits.

    Might do a bit of cleaning for 2 hours then am gonna make big Pot of Popcorn, not the Packets that ya microwave that smells like those awful Violet tiny sweets in the clear Wrapper from Childhood, but the Original American Cinema-smelling Poppity pop stuff. I'm gonna make a big Pot of it and choose a couple of Movies to watch for the night. Popcorn = happiness right?!? :D Sorry happyness. :p


    I also want an Iceberger and I hate them. Well actually not true, the Ice-Cream in an Iceberger does taste good I do remember that from the couple of times I ever had them! But the Biscuit-Wafers whatever they are aren't that nice. I still want one now though! :rolleyes::o:D

    Wanted a dish-washing brush, and found a pack of two for €1.50; a long one that works great on dishes, and a short one. Couldn't quite see what the short one was for, but I found that it works really well on my head, as a scalp massaging brush in the shower. Now my head has that just-brushed feeling... :o

    A friend if mines daughter wants to learn the flute. I was chatting to my friend and her other half about it today, and was explaining that she would spend weeks just learning the technique of blowing, only using the top part... Friends other half collapsed into fits of giggles.
    I got to sit and watch as my friend got more and more annoyed while trying not to draw attention to it... it was hilarious! :pac: I'd say he got a fair earful after I left!!!

    1-year-old just waddled into me in the study where I'm on my laptop. He smiled, touched my knee and I lifted him up and we went to YouTube where I googled tigers. Every time the tiger roared he'd move his little right hand forward towards the screen like a paw grabbing at something and make the loudest little roar he could, and then he'd beam up at me in delight at his tiger roaring skills. Crazily cute. Then he waddled off again.

    While I'm at it, special mention is due to the wife who heard the tv on at 5am this morning, woke me up panicking (the women's liberation movement bypassed her!) to go down and check who was in the house. Fúck: all I want is sleep. I grabbed a camán quietly from the airing room on the landing and tiptoed down the stairs. When I arrived into the sitting room the tv was definitely on and I looked a bit closer and she had managed to use Chromecast on her phone to cast Ben & Holly, which she had put on when the 3-year-old joined us in the leaba, to the downstairs tv. Fecking hell. The drama.

    Still, nothing beats our trip to Killiney Hill Park earlier this week. Being a "big picture" creative type of woman I usually wouldn't trust her for nuanced reports or detailed accounts of anything (although she can zoom in on my shirt or tie quicker than Hyacinth Bucket), and certainly I wouldn't trust her near anything technological (see above) but as I was driving I let her at it. She said she'd put Killiney Hill Park into Google Maps. "There, got it", she said reassuringly, and I listened to her directions. After a while it was clear we were going the wrong way, so I pulled over and looked at the phone. We were going to Kilimanjaro - yes, that feckin' mountain in Tanzania. By car. Jesus. In absolute fairness to her, it's a bit (!) lacking in localisation of Google to have Kilimanjaro as even an option, never mind a top option, on an Irish gps system (just how many people have ever driven from Dublin to Kilimanjaro?) but after that I'm completely and utterly bereft of words!
