It's easter again! Candy!

2005 years ago, Jesus was crucified, and laid to his tomb. Three days later, he raises from the dead. This is easter!

I'm not sure how the Easter Bunny/Egg thing came around, but I know that Ester is the Roman god of fertility, bunnies have high fertility... and lay eggs. .

Anyways, happy Easter!

Not here. We don't call sweets or chocolate candy.

Personally I was well annoyed because the clocks went forward today, and I was clapped out all day. Grrr.

Cheers

Well it's anywhere between 1997 years and 2013 years. They messed up this calander when they were making it, so there's an eight year descrepancy.

Heh heh. Yup i feel for you Ionstream, the parking was messed up at my church too not a bad thing I guess.

BTW whats the dif between sweets, candy and chocolate? Other than that chocolate is the food of the gods, and normal candy isn't much else than chemicals. And yes Bunnies do lay eggs didn't thay teach you that in school? And those eggs hatch into baby chickens see?

EDIT: Oh and to give this a point Happy Easter all!

Smile, it confuses people.

I was quite annoyed, got back late from the England match, woke up midday sunday and since the clocks went forward only lived for the afternoon.

Is it me or are easter eggs getting worse? My Creme Egg one only had 2 creme eggs in it, compared to 6 last year. Same price

Someone stole my second creme egg, but I should'nt grumble, I had 5 eggs this year, damn 4 for £5 deals just make me greedy . The Kinder easter eggs have gone downhill too, when they first came out you'd have a massive boat to build, or something along those lines - bought 2 this year and it was the same prize in each, a stupid Sylvester and Tweety thing that took all of 4 seconds to build.

WTF happend to Kinder?, albeit 20 years ago; the toys inside used to be awesome.

They seem to be getting cheaper every year! 3 for £5 plus a Duc d'o truffle one for £5. And a box of creme eggs on top!

Sad thing is all easter eggs are the same now, just TWO bars of a chocolate bar (what happened to days of old where it was around 4?) and a generic chocolate egg.

I'd rather pay less for more special chocolate, than some dodgy bashed about Cadbury's box with the same egg in every time and some caramel taped to the side!

The expensive Cadbury ones are cool, it's like an egg, with a smaller egg inside, and 3 smaller eggs inside that - but they're far too feminine for a guy like me to eat (Van-B tries to look tough while struggling to break open his egg).

I think this years loser is KitKat though, there were hundreds left in ASDA's on Saturday, just goes to show that KitKat is a dying biscuit - gimme Tunnocks Teacakes anyday - gimme a Tunnocks easter egg in fact! (if they ever made them). Hehe, my first job was packing eggs in a chocolate factory, back then it was Gladiator Eggs, and on the packaging was a team photo of all the Gladiators - one of the females bits were hanging out (no not those, the worst bits that could possibly hang out). That kinda put me off easter for a while , but damn I wish I had some of those boxes to sell on EBay.

Same here! The gooey bit is fantastic.

My brother has one of the expensive cadbury's ones - although I'd prefer the ones that came in purple foil a while ago.

Woolworths was full of battered creme egg ones, look like they got a dodgy shipment.

You guys still have Woolworths? That went out of business here in the 80's :p

My favourite is the good sized Cadbury cream egg with the white-ish yellow-ish cream in the middle--- mmmm.... they're like $0.75 here--- a bit expensive but worth it.

mine had 7 Sure you didn't get a dodgy one?

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place
