So you mean what does the UK have and the US doesnt'? The US has Cadbury however, the stuff in the states is a lot different then the Cadbury in the UK. When I did the candy swap 2 years ago I had tossed some in.

Yeah, UK sweets/chocolate that the US don't have. Will put down Cadbury on the list since you said it's different.


The Independent said:
A 'terrified' blind man thought he was going to die when police shot him in the back with a 50,000-volt Taser gun after mistaking his white stick for a samurai sword.

Double stroke victim Colin Farmer was on his way to meet friends at a pub in Chorley, Lancashire at 5.45pm last Friday when a police officer approached him from behind, shouted for him to stop, then shot him with the Taser.

The 61-year-old thought he was being attacked by muggers and cried out “I’m blind, I’m blind” as he collapsed on the floor, but was still handcuffed by the Lancashire Police Officer.

What sort of IT courses? Like "An Introduction to Computers" or "Coding for Experts"?
Click to expand...

Yeah should have narrowed that down a bit, sorry. I was thinking an introduction to networking. I'm fairly skilled with a pc but have no experience in a corporate environment.

Most of their sweets taste like unrefined sugar and flavorings though. Great if you wish to stay awake though.

Aero, Double Decker, Yorkie, Mars Bars, Wine Gums, Bounty

We tend to have variations though. Eg Bounty would be an Almond Joy. Wine Gums would be like Jujyfruits. Though I like wine gums better...

I'll stop by a store tomorrow and take a look and see if there is anything I know isn't to similar or is a must have.

I know a guy that used these for a halloween party once. All the drunk people (so everyone) wanted to (and thus tried to) touch them ALL NIGHT.

Great fun.

EDIT: FUCK, Forgot I JUST posted, idiot.

Talking about words that no one will get, I found on a shelf a book called The Mangna Farta from Viz. Over 10,000 random rude phrases at my disposal.

Best 80s Bond theme is *drum roll* It's so cool and suave. Got that memorable chorus and just screams the 80s mang!

and thanks Darren870 :) Don't want you to go out to the shops just to ponder at the confectionery section but if you happen to be doing your shopping or something then just a quick glance will help me out. Don't want to send stuff over that's already widely available over there.
