Just no to the bribe, or no to being familiar with Monty Python?


No to the bribe. I'm somewhat familiar with Monty Python.

I'd have had problems with the 'Magic Roundabout' when they put the first series of Heros out

But thinking about it, I don't think I had a tv back then so it would have made watching anything pretty difficult .

There is a film (this year/next year, not sure) with the same name/characters etc. I don't really watch a lot of films so for all I know it's already out

I was reading a book (British) and it said that you can't get Kinder Surprises in the US. Is that true?

Thanks! I rented it from Blockbuster (I had a free trial membership) and it was really very good. Aside from some language and a couple of intimate scenes the story was good as was the acting.

One of the most fascinating things is that it's a two-hour series every week. In the U.S. anything longer than an hour is a mini-series or movie.

I record it so I can watch a little at a time when I have the chance. I actually figured the one out this past week before it was into the second hour.

LOL... not quite.

Kinder Surprises. They have white chocolate in them and I don't like white chocolate.

Manda, do you watch Euro?

We watched a bit of this the other night...but we caught the very tail end of it so it didn't make much sense to us. But it looked really good!

Unfortunately Cadbury is no longer it's own company...it was bought out by Hershey's Co. My personal favorite British candy (chocolate) is the Aero Bar...the mint flavor. So delish! My sister found them *once* at one of our local grocery stores...but I've not had any luck since. And I have no idea how to order them online!
