I just got asked if I knew what a posing pouch was, for the purposes of a case
what strange things have you been asked at work (or school, fucking students, grr, etc)?

Alt Q: What was your favourite sweet when you were a kid? Has it lost it's magic and/or been discontinued since then? I used to love flumps which are still awesome) and Trolli burgers, which seem to have disappeared.

Did you ever try sherbet lemons with hot tea?
I think I had suggested this to you before; it really is a massive rush when the sugar walls break and the tasty sherbet breaks out.

"have you finished the 2ww Breast Investigation?"

explanation?
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 5 Aug 2010, 15:18, Reply)
Finding out how many symptomatic breast cancer referals were incorrectly prioritised over a month
and if it was going up or down. Not sexy but pretty important.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 5 Aug 2010, 15:19, Reply)
aww now I feel a bit sad
for all the women with gross black boob death who got incorrectly prioritised.

Unless you can tell me the answer was 0?

I seem to be the 'goto' expert for sexual fetishes and their slang terms around here. I'm just very glad I didn't have to explain what "scat" is in court to a judge, one of the barristers quickly got the clerk to pass the judge a note.

Alt q: I always loved sour sweets, so those fizzy laces are awesome. Can't eat too many though, they make your teeth feel wrong.

I love Galaxy Caramels and after my ex had cheated on me and I threw him out
he posted a bar through my letterbox. It was sort of sweet, had he not been sleeping with girls in my bed and all.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 5 Aug 2010, 15:30, Reply)
I think his plan was
If he keeps posting them through, then you'll get too fat to leave the house. Therefore he has no psycho ex stalking him, and he can go on to knob other girls as often as he pleases.

I'm sure I've seen those trolli burger things
quite recently, actually. I miss those jelly vampire teeth - haven't seen them since 2000, when I bought an entire trade-size tub of them at Makro.
I get asked strange things at work all the time - not usually to do with work, it's just that the people I work with are quite odd.

really? I thought they'd died with Woolies
I know you can get other Trolli stuff, but the little burger was just brilliant. I loved the cheese and the lettuce best.

Pear drops
Though they didn't really taste of pear. Also, cough sweets (not medicinal just kind of aniseedy), refreshers, original flavour Hubba Bubba, and Stinger bars though there was a rumour that they gave you cancer. I think these are all still available, although there used to be a soda version of Hubba Bubba which I'd like to try again but I fear it's been discontinued/banned.

They were made out of the same kind of plastic type sugar/dye/cornstarch stuff used in Wham bars (another great one) etc. but they also had a vein of pink fizzy stuff running down the middle. We used to roll them up and see who could eat theirs in one go.
