And the cool lorries used to deliver it. Freezing cold bon accord ale, delivered on a Friday night. Pineapple was a particular favourite of mine.

No, it was an old Cadbury chocolate brand. Going back a lot of years with that one.

I obtained a couple of bottles of the Moray Cup and it just wasn't the same. Passable, but just not right. Fair play to the guys that did it though. A bottle of Moray Cup with a bag o chipper chips, fae the Torry chipper, was the DBs back in the day. Another favourite was Dark Iron Brew, also made by Sangs. Sadly consigned to history, along with Hays and Bon Accord, although Bon Accord is back as a sort of hipster company, making mixers for funcy cocktails and the like and costs a fortune.

You still very much get Rolos and they are still fine and sickly if you eat too many. The year I discovered the demise of red bounties and Topics, I got my Wife to buy me a heap of bars, such as Rolos, Star Bar, Picnic, Toffee Crisps and a whole load of others, fearing their demise. Had about 30 different bars in all. Put them altogether on the Xmas morning and took a photo, which made a great vinyl print and is hung up in our kitchen, alongside my framed Aitkens Bakery paper bag, which also looks as smart as...

I wouldn't eat them now and haven't for a lot if years, as they aren't veggie, but I do like liquorice now, so reckon you could be onto something.

Yes, I saw it, but it was so brief, I thought I had imagined it. I didn't see either call clearly for the penalty calls,especially ours.

How did the booze selling go in the RDS? I'm assuming it all went well, as I didn't see any attempt by fans in the RDS, to storm the pitch at half time after watching what was served up.

Callum Morris I have no recollection of. He came through the ranks at Newcastle, and from where we had another esteemed Callum. Cal Roberts, aka the Geordie Messi. Now plying his trade with Scunthorpe United in the English Conference.

Cabana Bars Splicer bars Gambit Bar Six Golden Cup - you got a fancy bar, the top shelf stuff that only adults bought and was also a fingerlike bar, that came in a red and gold foil wrapper, that us kids bought.

I have a really bad sweet tooth. So bad that abstain from sugary stuff for the most part. My latest period of abstention ends this coming Sunday and a case of lock up you sweets and chocolate bars if I'm around. Red Bounty and Topics are my two biggest misses. Both sneakily discontinued by Mars UK a puckle of years back. Bastards!

Sold 1500 tickets for this game and a few others in amongst the home support. A fair effort.

Aye, Aitkens the baker sold us out Sports Mixture, along we a bug o cuttins. Which were the ends of the custard slices, caramel shortcakes and any other cake that was cut into perfect squares, leaving the cuttings for us ravenous Torry urchins. Caramel shortcake, being the holy grail. The outcry in this day and age if we asked for 10p of Sports mixtures and nae blacks. My eldest Sister was weird, she liked the black ones. One day she ate a big bag of black ones and gave herself a dose of the shits. They changed the recipe of Sports mixtures and they apparently don't taste like they used toi.

I have never looked forward to playing them in our own patch let alone Parkhead and as for them being there for the taking... The scars of watching us over the years, means I can never be that confident going into a game against anyone. We were honking first half yesterday, as bad a 45 minutes as I have ever seen from an Aberdeen team and I've seen plenty. Prague is a free hit. My appetite for the game is zero, but Thelin has to have us far better prepared for Sunday than he did first half yesterday. The green filth don't often lose many games on the bounce and I really don't want us being the team that it starts to click for them.

Only had the Mars bar and Marathon deep fried, never fancied a deep fried Bounty.

All that healthy coconut on the west coast, nae chance.

Really? You know what a Bounty is, surely? Well the red wrapper was the dark chocolate version. The said back in 2021, the were stopping production, due to the global shortage of coconut and then sneakily put out a press release, 18 months later, saying they had been discontinued. They did the same with Topics. Folk would rather eat American peanut butter bars now. I didn't even get the chance to stockpile any.

Out of favour A shame like, but must be something behind the scenes happened for both him and Palsavera ti have been bombed out like they have.

Dante wasn't a happy bunny when he was subbed. Didn't acknowledge any team mates on his way to the dugout. On Jensen, he looked a great prospect when he first arrived, but for the money we paid, we really should expect better. Hard working lad, but either just not happening for him or we aren't using him correctly. Didn't deserved to be cheered when it was announced Shinnie replaced him. Shitbag behaviour.

Please tell me McGregor was in tears at the end, or is he getting more practice at it. The great unwashed must be on the verge of a riot. So, so pleasing.

He is showing he is a right dirty little bastard when he wants to be. Very pleasing. I though he was more of a 'baller' to use the modern parlance, but fairly gets stuck in and is adapting to the darker side of the Scottish game.

Just back. Stank out Pittodrie first half. Really, really poor. Played like we had lego bricks on their feet, filled with concrete. All players deserved subbed, but I did think Jensen was the worst of a bad job lot. Cometh the second half, cometh our Captain. Too slow, legs have gone, heard it all a million times now, but no other first team players offers what he does. The difference with that team in the second half was pleasing. The ponderous display of the first half gone and the real Aberdeen stepped up and won the points. I can't comment on the penalty call, as it was a busy box, but some you win. Should have been level before our equaliser and really though it wasn't to be our day. Lovely goal from Bilalovic, after great work by the lazy, useless Nisbet. He was getting some amount of abuse from guys beside me. Hope we see more of Bilalovic. Looks far more comfortable on the ball that Milanovic has done to date. 10 points from 12, not bad going. Just hope to fuck Jimmy plays a reserve team on Thursday and has us far better prepared for Parkhead next weekend and carry on our good league form.

Never heard of the film, but respect the choice of a Star Bar. A lovely piece of confectionery and been banging the drum of old skool chocolate bars for the past few years. I'm still reeling about the demise of Red Bounties and Topics, so doing my best to keep demand of old skool bars alive. Apologies for hijacking the thread and taking it off topic!

I was watching an old top of the pops on Friday night and said the same thing to my Wife, when he appeared. Likes a lot of females, she likes him.

League Cup final today. Be nice if we could see more McGregors tears again this afternoon. Could get messy for for the tims and their new manager, if they lose today. Being it on.

Oooh, an afternoon tea! Hark at you being all posh, with your afternoon tea... Enjoy! I have one next Sunday and love an afternoon tea.
