@RustyBertrand Yikes! Keep safe!

@rjblaskiewicz +10 points for embiggening.

Bwahaha!

@neonbubble Oh, the bees knees: a helical chocolate straw capable of (mostly) withstanding a nice hot cup of tea for a bit, before melting into deliciousness from the inside out. Totally unique in its class of utilitarian confections.

@neonbubble They're still a thing?

I'm still traumatised that they kiboshed the Spira...

@davep Not if you were wearing the equivalent of a helmet for your nether regions.

@davep Dunno which is worse: being shot in the head or shot in the crotch while doing a flip.

@andrewt Ditto.

@andrewt Christ. If I used that I’d end up looking like a Picasso.

@rjblaskiewicz Not on the test? *phew* 😉

Mentioned it just to say that I’m coming from a place of ignorance so won’t quite appreciate their artistry, although I have heard “Where the Streets Have No Name”, mostly because it was the 80s and I am forever stuck in that decade.

@rjblaskiewicz I must admit that I am utterly unfamiliar with U2 and their oeuvre, despite their superstardom.

@rjblaskiewicz

@rjblaskiewicz Is that a very shiny Trabant? I haven't seen one of those in a looong time.

@neonbubble I have a memory like Dr Theopolis where that is concerned.

@neonbubble I’m sure they did that on Buck Rogers.

@neonbubble Pfft. At least I’m being festive!
