British Sea Power’s American chocolate review

From their email received today, 1 April 2011.

CHOC REVIEW
Three Musketeers bar - whipped-up fluffy stuff. Basically a Milky Way. Good
name though. 7/10.

CHOC REVIEW
Twix Cookie Bar - fatty, sugary. 6/10.

CHOC REVIEW
Baby Ruth - US choc legend. Chewy, with peanuts. Similar to a Star Bar. 4g
of protein. 40g fat. Generally thought to be named after baseball legend
Babe Ruth, but may actually be a tribute to President Grover Cleveland’s
daughter, Ruth Cleveland. Originally made by Curtiss Candy Company, now
atcha from big bastards Nestlé. Tasty. 8/10.

CHOC REVIEW
ROLO - not the same as UK. Pretty Good. 7/10

CHOC REVIEW
Butter Finger - chocolate isn’t bad, ridiculously sweet and teeth stick
together when you eat it. Least favourite so far. 5/10

CHOC REVIEW
Almond Joy - basically a Bounty with a big almond encased inside the
chocolate on the top. Very, very moist and lovely. Any Bounty fans will be
a big fan of this. 8/10

CHOC REVIEW - Reese’s Fast Break
Drawn to it initially because of the peanut butter. Not disappointed. Choc
not too sweet and the filling delicious. 9/10

CHOC REVIEW - Mr Picnic. Amazing. A new concept in savoury chocolate.
Basically a Mars Bar, but salty instead of sugary and with 1cm cubes of
beef jerky throughout. Fucking disgusting. 0/10.

Just so bizarre I wanted to share it.

Hello Bob!

Just learned that in the Netherlands a designated driver is called Bob .. which stands for bewust onozele bestuurder.  This translates as “the stupid sober driver”.

British humour.

2 blokes walking down the street.
One turns to the other and says;
‘You’re a complete arse. A total and utter arse.’
‘You’ve always been a total arse, and you always will be a total arse’
‘In fact if you entered a ‘Total Arse’ competition you’d come 2nd’.
Other bloke asks; ‘Second. But why wouldn’t I come 1st?’
First bloke: ‘Cos you’re an arse’.             

Steven Gerrard voted nation’s most popular footballer …

… according to dreary press release. Who were the other footballers in the poll - Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot?

PRESS RELEASE: STEVEN GERRARD IS NAMED THE UK’S FAVOURITE FOOTBALLER

With World Cup fever at an all time high, Steven Gerrard has been named by the UK public as the nation’s favourite footballer, in a poll undertaken by the group behind the Magazine Cover of the Year Awards, The Maggies.

Winning the poll with a massive 46% of the votes, Steven Gerrard was chosen as England’s Man of the Match, while Frank Lampard, David James and Joe Cole all got shown the red card.

With women everywhere donning their Manolo Blahniks, and sipping Cosmo cocktails in sync with the release of the Sex and The City film, the public named the country’s favourite SATC star. The poll was a 3 horse race between Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis. The show’s leading lady, Sarah Jessica Parker, won with 36% of the votes; while Cynthia Nixon brought up the rear with only 11%.

In a poll to decide the public’s favourite supermodel, Heidi Klum came out on top with 44% of the votes. Kate Moss wasn’t far behind with 38%, and in joint third were Agyness Deyn and Lily Cole, both with only 9% each.

Winners of this year’s favourite magazine covers in The Maggies awards will be announced on Monday 21st June; meaning there’s less than one week left to submit votes for these leading magazine covers at www.themaggies.co.uk, and to receive a £2.50 gift voucher.
