Ah no, I think that was me :)

Hi all. Say rainy, do you still like tucking into macintosh toffees (apart from harrogates)? I always think of you when I eat macintosh toffees ever since your thread about them ages ago. You won quite a few Brownie points with me because of your fondness for macintosh toffees (apart from harrogates).

I wonder if you were just peeing on some harrogates: you might think that was acceptable.
I wouldn't judge.

let's be honest, they were asking for it.

― haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:19 (twenty years ago)

The coconut ones also have it coming.

― estela (estela), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

Morning Mongrels. Happy Wednesday.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

Damn, I was sure I was going to beat you to it this morning kate. Welcome back rainy!

― moley, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

Nope. It's very rare that I'm not first to post. In fact theres generally something pretty seriously wrong if I don't. For instance I've had a rotten cold all week and yet I'm still dragging my ass/arse out of bed to say good morning. Badge of honour or badge of dorkiness? You decide.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

I must have another child soon, then I can beat you every day by rising at 5am!

― moley, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

ick. you're safe if you're up before 6.30am. I don't generally get out of bed before then, y'know unless I land a huge million dollar modelling contract, but that hasn't happened lately :)

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

I used to rise at 4am to write techno. What was I thinking? No wonder I was unlucky in lerve.

― moley, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

4am! Damn, 4am is sleeps time.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

there's a 4 in the morning now?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

hi estela, I certainly wouldn't say no to a toffee, but that time I posted about them, I think was the last time I had one. A long time between toffees!

Hi everyone!

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

Hi rainy!

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

4am is generally when I wake up. Get out of bed? Hell no, I just lie there and wait until it's time to shower. In the meantime I listen to the city wake up, cats fighting outside and occasionally worry about something.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

No wonder you feel like shit so much of the time.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

morning people! i could go a toffee

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:11 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to go some toasted rye with butter.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

ok to be honest i'd prefer the toasted rye with butter to the toffee. it is only 8:15 after all.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:15 (twenty years ago)

toffee and coffee

i've already had chocolate this morning :(

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:15 (twenty years ago)

i can't eat sweet stuff until morning tea time

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

i don't usually but i skipped dinner last nite

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

in retrospect i should have gotten a B&E

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

skipped dinner? that's crazy talk jim. if i skip brekky i like to get a toasted ham and cheese sanger from the bakery at the train station. partly because i like all the banter that goes on at the counter.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

I don't feel like eating till around midday.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

i feel like eating pretty much ALL THE TIME

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

The woman at the bakery i go to always compliments me on my hair, even when it looks shithouse.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

i find bakery people to be invariably pretty tops. must be the smell of the fresh bread and stuff.

*disclaimer: by 'bakery' i don't really mean those franchise ones that have cranky teenage girls working in them.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

Cranky? I always find those girls annoyingly chirpy. Must be different sales technique in WA.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:28 (twenty years ago)

oh the ones in the b4kers delight near me are total cranks. every time i go in there after work the girl looks pissed off that i exist.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

she's probably on the Atkins diet

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

yep that's what they're like in the one near me too. and the one on the way to uni. it takes the shine off my cheese and vegemite scroll.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

i had that last night. the little cheesy hot dogs looked like they'd been there a bit long

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

that's not a nice thing to call cranky teenage girls

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

ahaha. please bring sheepfuxor humour to this thread more often rainy.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

haw

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Must be queensland chain bakeries that are all happy-like. Trust me, it's got to be at least as bad as them being cranky.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

they were definitely happier in st kilda

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:35 (twenty years ago)

Still, not really worth moving back for is it? :D

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

Qld chain bakery staff: scary, perky automata. Canberra chain bakery staff: inappropriately fanciable.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

The perkiness increases as you near the gold coast. It's a perkiness meltdown there.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

hmmmm i'm sensing a pattern. i wonder if someone would be prepared to fund further research into the influence of weather/coast/geographic topography on interstate differences between chain bakery staff

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:38 (twenty years ago)

I'm feelin' the cheesymite scroll, they are quite good.

I did a bad, baaad thing this morning. I bought a mcdonalds muffin!

― haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:44 (twenty years ago)

pfft what's baaad about that? if you ask me they're the only thing worth eating at maccas

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

agreed

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:47 (twenty years ago)

Kate: yes! This is totally true. The ones up at Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast are not really very perky, the ones in Brisbane are quite perky and good grief, I nearly got smiled to death when I bought a loaf at the Robina Town Centre last time I was there.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

hmm, I tend to associate it with "FAST FOOD BREAKFAST SHAME". but now I feel validated, thanks guys!

― haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:52 (twenty years ago)

Hi mongs and rainy!

Our local Baker's Delight has a middleaged woman with a bob haircut and a mellifluous voice who uses a proper Italian accent when she says 'Panne di Casa' in a way that implies she's lived a full cosmopolitan life, maybe renovated a Tuscan villa or two and 'made love' in vineyards, etc.: she's annoying.
I used to work in a bakery and it was horrible. Every single customer would ask me how I could work there and stay so skinny, then they'd ask for a Sesame St loaf and expect me to guffaw. It was an un-excelsior as you can get. One time when I got home and looked in the mirror I had a poppy seed stuck to the white of my eye. It looked ghoulish, not perky.

― estela (estela), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

What the fuck is anyone who knows anything about bread doing running a bakers delight?! It's the shittiest fluff bread on the planet. Give me a nice heavy-like-a-brick pane de champagne from the vegan lesbian hippy girls at sol breads any day.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

whuz sesame street loaf?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:58 (twenty years ago)
