  1. http://www.hersheys.com/products/details/hersheysbar.asp http://dark chocolate which youll find is a lil more bitter in taste
  2. its a shame it took as long as page 2 to get someone to mention the brilliance that is mr ryan adams. and im still shocked not to see whiskeytown being mentioned.
  3. hershey bars are nice, occasionally. their dark chocolate is better. actually waaaaaaaaay better... though cadburys from HERE (canadian cadburys is made by hersheys in North America) owns anything else out there. and btw its REESES not reeces.
  4. i think they should give bars/restuarants/etc the option of banning it entirely or having a closed off area only for smoking that has its own ventilation system.
  5. YaY!! one of the comforts of home that i miss... mmmshopping in bulk.....
  6. okay thanks. and I'm going to head over to Kelly and a few others to see what they can do for me.
  7. wait, temp agencies in the take a cut of your pay? in the us they charge the company youre assigned to more for your services and you still get a decent pay. i bring home about $400 us a week - before taxes - while the company im assigned to gets charged about $600 or so a week for me (i open mail there as well and i get to see the bills). i dont want to lose pay. but ive read too much about ant to even want to think about going to work there either. but, taking a cut from your pay is kinda worrying to me.
  8. id try http://local.google.com type in the last name & postal (zip) code you may have some luck. also amazon.com has white & yellow pages now, you might want to try surfing around there
  9. if they ship before march 2nd i should be able to post them to you, ill be in sheffield from march 3rd - 7th and i live here in the states. edit: and i might also be able to find an extra livestrong laying around.. i dont think my sister ever gave my mum hers... i can ask though..
  10. HMM a few pieces of advice from an american: - rent a car.. - try to find a timeshare thats available for rent. you can go food shopping and save yourself some cash in dining... - if youre into rides = universal - if youre there with littles ones = disney - see the space center - if you have time, hit busch gardens in tampa.. they even have a budwsier brewery on premises, its also where they keep those horses of theirs. - across the street from busch gardens, theres a water park with slides and pools and all that fun stuff - keep lots of bottled water on you, theyll charge you $5 for about 16 oz. - COMFY SHOES - travel around this time of year... from feb to about sept american schools are on various breaks... lots of travel which means higher rates
  11. hmm ive been wearing mine since june (and never taken it off), and wrote my nans name on the inside of the band. it my lil tribute to HER and her ten yr battle with various forms of cancer. and who gives a fudge if people are wearing them because its trendy, whats important money is going to armstrongs cancer foundation, and thats whats really important. and to those looking for the pink ones, they symbolize breast cancer awareness... you can buy them below, but they are backordered until late feb.. http://www.efastcom.com/Marketplace/control/productdetails?itemId=706-07200
  12. no order: - my boyfriend - long drives along ocean beach parkway with my fave music blaring and the windows down during the hot nights of summer (i think thats the one thing about long island ill miss THE most..) - cadburys buttons!! - music.. - the internet - snuggling to keep warm - first kisses after a long time apart - BA flight 1502 - my family who are scattered throughout the world, and the rich intresting history it all contains - falling sleep under warm blankets,s heets & duvets with fluffy pillows on a bitter cold night - hot baths with soft scented candles - waking up next to the one you love and watching them sleep.. - cooking - shopping when you can actually spend money! - my ipod shuffle - reading - walking - reasearching & problem solving - my boyfriend when he smiles and when i catch him looking at me in a way that says "i love you"... and his voice.. god i love hearing it.
  13. one of the girls from human league still lives in sheffield. and the saxophonist from ABC lives in sheffield.. off eccscliffe road (i think i mispelt it)
  14. theres an italian place on the corner of industry street (i cant remember the other streets name) that smells really good.. does anyone know what im talking about and is it any good??
  15. i hope so to.. my boyfriend should help me adjust to everything and when i was ther ein november it seem to be bigger than what was posted. thats was more the shock.. but he lives up in walkley.
  16. town of babylon. it has 212,000 people (i was off slightly .. long island itself has just under 3 million people living on it .. and its only 118 miles long (if you include brooklyn & queens into the length but sans their population) population breaks down like this: Size (in square miles)/Persons per Square Mile* * Nassau: 287/4,650 * Suffolk: 912/1,556.3 (i live in suffolk county) http://longisland.about.com/cs/governement/a/li101.htm and kristain no offense taken
  17. i live in the States (for now) and my boyfriend lives on Industry Street
  18. whoa. thats going to be a culture shock. my entire TOWN holds 300,000 people
  19. you do not want a starbucks. seriously.. its nice for a treat but yeah.
  20. i dunno i liked em. but, compared to subway which at least here in the us are generally not the cleanist places to eat and are just kinda nasty overall, id rather have a tesco turkey sandwich. plus im sure there has to be a deli around that could make something just as nice and probably cost the same and get twice as much food.
