I love sweets. They make me happy. Or most of them did. Until yesterday when I bought myself some Smarties…
…this is probably the juncture where I should point out that I am well aware of how I constantly harp on about the way kids are brought up and stuffed full of E numbers nowadays, so bear with me on this one.!
They have RUINED the taste of Smarites. Wave good bye to those brightly coloured blue sweeties, say hello to dull browns, olive greens and flowery tasting yellows. All this just to stop people complaining about the amount of colourings in the damn things.!!! This wasn’t what should of happened at all. What should have been done is this…
…restrict sales of Smarties to the under 18’s. To prevent the ‘orrible little fuckers getting hold of the damn things in the first place, make sure they are only sold in nightclubs. Sorted.
Nestle, thank you for fucking up one of my most favourite sweeties rather than tell a fuck load of single mothers who can’t tell their kids to not misbehave (but bribe them with more sugary stuff than is good for them) to STOP FEEDING THEIR BLOODY OFFSPRING.
Bastards.!!!
*****LATE NEWS*****
Oh damn you world… Bethany has just posted the video for My Chemical Romance’s new song, a song which has been repeatedly played on Radio One (along with Panic! which is very odd, what next, Coheed And Cambria).?!
Now I know I am not supposed to like MCR but I do. They seem to produce catchy bits of music that get stuck in my head. Oh well. But this time round they don’t get the blame for making me like them. The person who gets the blame is in fact Bernard Cornwell.
“Who.????” I hear you cry, you uncultured bunch.! He is the author of the Sharpe series of novels, of which I am of course a HUGE fan. In so doing he allowed a TV series to be derived from the books, which featured Sean Bean. Now go and listen to the theme tune to the Sharpe series and see what I am getting at. There is such a similarity to the start of the MCR song that that is all I can think about.!
Dammit.!
Maybe smarties don’t have the answer after all…
Love youuu x
