That’s made me feel old. I thought everyone remembered Opal Fruits.

Holy cow - I'm not even 35 and I appear to be on the "older" side of this generation split. Not something I expected...

And I’m on the wrong side of that

I very much remember opal fruits but i slipped through the generation gap when Rap and R&B music became a thing. I associate it with lack of intelligence. You need to be an idiot to enjoy that stuff. Same with trance music, how can you enjoy that without drugs? On the original post, i don't remember Marathon's though am aware it was a Snickers.

Topic, Lilt, Munchies, Picnic, Turkish Delight, Frosties, Wham bar, Taz, Toffo's, Irn Bru bar, Nerds and i dunno what they were called but i called them Sherbert UFO's, the edible paper disks with sherbert inside.

They might be thinking state man and mystical power are enough for the champion hurdle if constitution hill is banjoed. So they might be starting to try to paint the picture to rich ricci that she's better over further to have a big gun for that too. A patrick mullins special would do wonders for that narrative.

Yep, State Man can win the race without CH, no doubt.
Guess it depends on how Lossiemouth performs in the build up and how Ricci feels about that if she proves to be a big challenger.
Fly in the ointment could be Sir Gino.
How good will he be this season? Hendo will know how good he needs to be. Has to be significant if he targets the CH with him imo.

Anyway, it’s not meant to be easy!!
at the moment it’s all a bit of a mess because of the issue with CHill.
If CH is minor problem and he’s back for Kempton, what then?
4/1 is gone, that I know.
And if he’s back, does SG then start his chase career?
Could be a situation that both SG and CH run here?

Think I’m getting a headache!!

Wham bars are the sole reason I was a fat kid. Incredible sweets. I never really understood Frosties …. But still ate them.

Curly wurlies, wagon wheels and slush puppies, the treats of my youth….

Curly wurlies, wagon wheels and slush puppies, the treats of my youth….

All still available now.

Wife makes me eat curly wurlys over a tray, she says little chocolate bits fall off onto the settee otherwise.
small sacrifices....
When she's away for the weekend I eat the fuckers in bed (on her side).
resentment....
