Ajja Posted Sunday at 20:57 Report Posted Sunday at 20:57 Or on Topic . They were brilliant. I’m all in on anything with a peanut slant. Used to love a Nutty. Star Bars are the absolute bollox. But you should try The Holdovers too. Phew, back on films. Quote
Ajja Posted Sunday at 20:59 Report Posted Sunday at 20:59 Currently enjoying a guilty pleasure in The Holiday. Without Jack Black it’s not much shakes but alright for a bit of lightweight winter caper. Quote

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! So I am a guy in my sixties and sorry for saying this but what the fuck is a red bounty, can honestly say I have never heard of this piece of confectionery Quote

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. Quote

Maybe they were a Granite City delicacy and didn't make there way to the west of Scotland, a bit like decent butteries 1 Quote

OneBrianIrvine. Posted Sunday at 22:34 Report Posted Sunday at 22:34 (edited) I’ve never even seen deep fried mars bars on a menu let alone tasted one Its an irritating stereotype edit - not aimed at you BigAl, I mean the media Edited Sunday at 22:36 by OneBrianIrvine. Quote
tom_widdows Posted Sunday at 22:49 Report Posted Sunday at 22:49 So films then.... Latest 'Knives Out' passes the time Recently picked up 'Angel-A', 'To Live and Die in LA', and 'Born on the Fourth of July'. The latter only leaves 'Hamburger Hill' in the list of Vietnam films Ive yet to see. To Live and Die in LA features an extremly young Willem Defoe which I found a bit surreal. Angel-A has beem on the list since I saw the poster at the Belmont but Film4 etc never seemed to show it (Leon, and the fifth element meeting their Luc Besson quota) 'The Naked Lunch' and 'Mullholland Drive' also added to the collection but no idea when ill get time to watch them Quote
