And while I agree about Benny being sweet, what you call candy, I call lollies.

Lollipops are for licking, so I'm with you about that similarity right there. Slurp.

Wheeeee!

We say scones as you do but also to rhyme with stones. It all depends...what on...I haven't a clue!

Can't I just go to the supermarket without a Benedict/international sweets explosion happening over here?? I would like to eat them all. And I take the curly dark one as a dessert.

We say scones that rhymes with stones too. In Australia, it's pronounced like scons? Hmmm.

Here in the US, we aren't so big on anything called scones, although you'll find them in places that serve tea in the afternoon, in tea shops and fancy hotels in the city. Scones (to us) are like our biscuits, except scones have fruit in them, raisins or cranberries or blueberries or cherries, I guess, and I think they're a bit sweeter than regular biscuits, more sugar in the mix. ??? Whatever you call them, they're good, I do know that for sure.

So. Are we off topic now? I do believe we are. heh

We'll be right back on topic, after a delicious Scone break.. oh, is that you, Mrs. Hudson?

Lemon and honey in my tea, please. Oh, is that clotted cream to have with the scones? Yes, please.

Clotted cram and strawberry jam. In fact I had exactly that in a homemade scone on my canal barge weekend last week. Nom Nom!

Well, there are all kinds of things that fall under the category of "edible" after all.

Now that's getting again a bit distracting. I'm trying to work, guys! But it gives me some delicious ideas

Just back from an unsuccessful attempt at field research regarding the Attimo scent. Went to two perfume shops to get a sample but they didn't have it in stock. Sorry, ladies . But here's something nice for you:

You can get Attimo on-line.

SusiGo · August 21, 2012 6:08 pm

Actually I didn't want to buy a whole bottle, just take a little sniff and tell you how it is. Maybe I can get a sample on Ebay .

Funny picture, Susi. Looks as if he has to hold back a smile or he would loose those cheek paddings.

Davina · August 21, 2012 10:21 pm

Judging by what the wardrobe ladies are wearing he was probably really cold.

Though I don't actually believe that Ben wears this perfume, as it was just a supposition of one fan-girl, I had a chance of tasting its smell one day in a perfume shop . It smells really nice! The base is wood, and very nice wood I dare say .

At seen this picture my first thought was like "This Rubic cube is not occasionally near his head. His brain is like this cube: complicated and sophisticated".

Davina · August 22, 2012 7:06 am

Glowering skies and rugby pitches in the background. The Rubic's cube looks like a flying...was going to say saucer but clearly it is the wrong shape so...flying cube.
