Re: The Lounge
Got to eat an American chocolate bar today, one of those Reese's nut ones. It's alright, but it's chalkier, less sweet and less creamy than a British chocolate bar, which seems to be the result of using less milk in the recipe. Overall I'd rate it a... C+ or so, with Cadburys being B- and Galaxy being B+...and of course, Walkers of London is better than any of them, since their milk chocolate bars are the perfect combination of sweet, bitter and the smooth creaminess I want in my chocolates
Overall, better than I was expecting :p

Re: The Lounge
pretty unfair to compare a mass produced brand of chocolate that is intentionally cheap to something that is made in a single factory and often comes in gourmet tins

Notice I said chocolate bar :p Its possible to get their milk chocolate bars from HomeBargains for like, £1 - which is $1.50 for you merry cans - or so for 200g, and that blows away all other chocolates I've ever had, no competition. Even still, Cadburys is still better than that Reese's bar was, but you wouldn't be able to tell the difference since the Cadbury bars in the USA are made by American factories with a different recipe, alas. I didn't say it was as bad as those crappy 25p bars you can get at the CoOp which are actually my only F ratings, but it's definitely nowhere near the best I've had.

It's ♥♥♥♥ teatime, you cunts.
We've invaded every country worth invading, which, hint hint, are the ones on this map.
Did you know that Swedish men are so unmanly they left almost no genetic trace? I don't know what they were ♥♥♥♥ in the Viking invasion, but it must have been the sheep or something. Anyway, ours was the empire upon which the sun never sets, and that's still so today, and fun fact - our demographics are the strongest in Europe, with one of the highest natural population growth rates and high migration, too, which combined with constant growth means we are set to overtake Germany and the other major European powers before long...and if you combine our weight with that of the other EU member states we are aligned with, such as Poland and the other eastern European states, we'll be running the place before long.
We've also got one of the world's two triple A class cities, London, with the other being New York; anything that happens to these cities does not cause a recession, but a depression that makes the one in the twentieth century look like an economic downturn. There will probably only ever be two, perhaps a third in south east Asia, and they cannot be moved or otherwise replaced by any other city barring the complete destruction of said city.
And of course there's our military track record; we haven't lost a serious war since the Revolutionary War, or had a civil war for that matter, and despite Napoleon's best he still ended up rotting on an island. But lets go over one last thing, a fairly unknown British hero in the form of William Marshall, the First Earl of Pembroke.
This beast served four different kings and was eulogized as the greatest knight that ever lived. He lived to seventy one years of age, impressive for the medieval era, and defeated five hundred knights in his long career as a tourney knight - and these fights were often deadly, even unintentionally so - but that's just the end of his beastliness, because quoting Badass of the Week...
Quote:
But something that would make or break the legends of lesser men barely warrants mentioning in Marshal’s biographies, since at that point in his life he was already a 45-year veteran of over-the-top badass medieval siege warfare. His first encounter came at the age of five, back when William’s dad was involved in a civil war against King Stephen of England. William’s dad had supported Stephen’s sister as the true claimant to the Throne of England, so naturally Stephen attacked, surrounded the castle with his army, captured William, and held the boy for ransom. While John the Marshal watched from the walls of his castle, King Stephen took five year-old William, loaded him into a goddamned catapult, and said he would launch the kid full-speed into the walls of the castle if John didn’t surrender immediately. John, not giving a royal half-shit about his own ♥♥♥♥ kid, screamed back, “I still have the hammer and the anvil with which to forge yet more and better sons!”, which is something I hope to God was said while demonstratively grabbing his crotch. Then, after basically daring King Stephen to pull the trigger, John ordered his men to attack, knowing full well that this was a death sentence for William.
Well King Stephen didn’t launch the kid, partly because he’s not a ♥♥♥♥ horrible monster, and partly because he liked that young William didn’t cry or complain or beg for his life but was totally ready to careen head-first into a ♥♥♥♥ brick wall at high velocity and take his horrible death like a man. So, after King Stephen was done defeating John in battle and forcing the surrender of his castle, he let William go free to return home.
Now, that's enough blaring patriotism, any more and I'll start to sound like a member of the EDL or something, since everyone knows that a true British man is humble and quiet about his glories, he doesn't go around ranting about them to whoever might listen like some insecure child boasting about his skill at this and that. Hell, I wouldn't have made this post at all if Asklar hadn't asked for it :p
Now I'm going to go to bed.

Nah, only when taken to the extremes as we saw in the early half of the twentieth century; civilization has always had people boasting that their plot of land was better than the other guy's plot of land, and in the case of the chocolate bar it's not wrong when it's true :p

I guess Trump forgot the memo then. Meh talk aside, chocolate is pretty damn good, and eating too much of it is the holiday target to be.
