Now obviously in those days are mums packed our bags (still do) and we took no interest in them til we set down in our appartment knowing that mums will have thought of everything. And yes on inspection the 4 of us had each been given a pack of kellogs variety cereal, uncanny, maybe its in some sort of unwritten mum manual. Upon further digging into the suitcase bigger than me i also found a jar of coffee that a special aunt had included, but this was no ordinary jar of coffee, this was a cash & carry sized jar of maxwell fucking house, what the fuck were we to do with that, snort it? Oh how my chums never let me forget it the rest of the hol and took great pleaseure in regaling every soul we met for the next 2 weeks. Cereals were great though.<BR/>Great post mannie.Sweetchuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503280592258053681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430827523235519471.post-74739866834156399202008-10-30T14:23:00.000+00:002008-10-30T14:23:00.000+00:00Mmmmm....Crispy pancakes.....Bought some yesterday...Mmmmm....Crispy pancakes.....<BR/><BR/>Bought some yesterday.
