Relevant since both have versions of Aiken Drum, with a wild disparitt in quality. An independent Scotland will need a strong Singing Kettle IMO. You had that fucking mental goldfish song yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I'm STILL convinced he got done for fiddling, but I think someone got all hot and bothered when I suggested this last time. You really are a fucking monster. All that stuff is a distant memory now but IIRC “The Wiggles” were a decent, high-camp Australian version of The Singing Kettle and would often have nice Australian ladies like Kylie on to help them sing the songs. I love the Singing Kettle. There are very few things that make me feel as nostalgic. It is a pure, untainted memory and something that I am genuinely sad I cant take my kids to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance they’d ask you up on stage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I've nothing to add other than Topsy and Tim were quite obviously going to end up a pair of incestuous serial killers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That you can't buy a pack of Fruit and Nut. You can buy the bland regular Dairy Milk, the average Caramel, the silly Whole Nut and even the crappy Oreo variations in packs of 4 but not Fruit and Nut, which is clearly the best one of the lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried Lidl? They have some v tasty chocolate. Fruit and nut is probably on a high shelf reserved for deviants though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pure, untainted memory and something that I am genuinely sad I cant take my kids to. Artie from the singing kettle done a show at my boy's nursery a few weeks ago, was genuinely a pleasure to meet him as he hung about in the reception area chatting to folk. Not been as starstruck since bumping into Rikki Fulton in Reid furniture c.1990. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember that they stopped as the Singing Kettle because they would have had to buy the name for an exorbitant amount of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst we're discussing Lidl I should add that their bakery is excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their pain au chocolats are incredible value and generally soft and chewy, not overcooked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in your house, which I'm not, but if I was, I would also be voting for the Fruit and Nut. The 'thinking man's chocolate bar' as I refer to it. Since just then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call on the Fruit and Nut though, and I'm definitely on board with it's new slogan of 'The Thinking Man's Chocolate Bar', or TTMCB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
