Papa Haddock...
You are a naughty boy!
;-)
(and quite amusing...)
I was always a lover of penny sweets...fruit salads in particular...funny how eating black jacks never seemed to warp our generation...wrappers and all.
Sweet Cheeks, Hi.... I though all you people out in Idaho were busy planting potatoes this month....
Thud, there were black jacks,fruit salads and aniseed balls.... and crisps* containing paper twists of salt.... (what fun to eat in the dark, an element of surprise as there could be any number between nil and seven of them in each bag ) and that was about it in our village shop.
* we called them chips then, as I believe our friends in the colonies call them still.
Unsalted Salt and shake crisps are an excellent cheat for game chips - just warm them in the oven.
Fizzers at 1/2p a roll were very popular in our tuckshop as were curlywurlies and freddofrog chocolate bars. We spent our breaktimes playing footer with small perforated plastic balls as knifecrime hadn't been invented.
racist old cunt, I bet your missus' cunt stinks of of old haddock and all
Fuck you, you sad old cunt
Anonymous - fuck off.
Haddock: Hi Cap'n. Off topic but - Just read your comment re facebook and your name "Captain" over at Cranmer's place.
I don't have a Facebook account, but suspect I too would have problems registering because according to my passport, drivers livence, SS records etc my name really is Captain Sir Henry Morgan.
Ah well - it made the custody sergeant laugh at our local cop shop, when booking me into a cell.
Think I should give Facebook a go - then give them a hard time when they reject my name? I could always publish all the emails back and forth couldn't I ... should be good for a laugh.
Hi Sir Henry,
thanks for telling anon to fuck off, I couldn't be arsed, but it needed saying.
I'm not sure about facebook, it seems too invasive...use a disposable email a/c if you do try to sign up.
Very funny Captain H! i do remember those ghastly golliwog wrappers - they are just as horrible in the new stereotype free branding...
Hahah funny shit. These put me off as soon as the sweets were turning my tongue black thats a big no no.

But you could get such a wonderful gob full of black spit and it left magic unremovable stains on brickwork and breeze blocks.
Had an interrogation or two by our village copper. We lied through our black teeth and he let us go - but Gareth wasn't stupid - he knew. We didn't do it again; we could take a hint.
