I hate chocolate, and sugary things, whatever the quality. Tastes awful, makes my mouth go all nippy. I recognise that I am a weirdo and have addressed this by becoming a pudge because I love all the cheese, the cream sauces and the crisps!

I’ve never heard of Tony’s chocolate. Maybe the Irish are too lower class.
It’s in Tesco, even my diabolically shite local one, and I’m fairy sure it’s in Dunnes and Supervalu.
It’s the one with the big chonky bars in bright wonka-like wrapping. I’ve tried one or two when they were on offer, they were grand like. Not exceptionally memorable to me anyway.

The To Be Sad No one Would Help one is a wild ride.
According to mumsnet it makes me a cunt but I definitely couldn’t help someone who was puking in public. Even the thought of sick makes me feel sick myself so then it would just be both of us puking. I would actively avoid them as much as I could and would not be going anywhere near them

I did like the response that ‘I’d assume they were drunk so no I absolutely would not help’

Like they’ve had a few too many Pina Coladas, Maxine, they’ve not committed mass murder.

We're all intrigued by him. Sometimes he takes his hood off and he has a green mohican. I think the poor man is trying to work from home and his wife keeps distracting him by stripping off and putting on yet another awful set of clothes.

I named my cat Caligula. He was an absolute loon when I picked him from the litter. Best. Cat. Ever. I felt it was apt to name him after a mentally ill psychopath dictator. Definitely Tory material.
RIP Caligs. We still talk about your exploits.

Defo sometime taking the piss!!
Its just showing how teeny tiny and delicate that are that they couldnt possibly eat a whole doughnut. Also implying anyone who can is a big fat cow, possibly even a size 10 and a poor too.

I mean I don't actually like donuts, but if I did I would eat it all. How big does she think they are?

Though, on reflection it may be someone taking the piss.

Pretty sure they must be teachers. Every time there are doughnuts in the staffroom, people chop them into little scraps, thus rendering them unpalatable to people who don't want to eat leftovers that have been handled by at least one teeny tiny with a blunt knife and half the filling has been spread out to attract bacteria and flies over the boxes.

I merely glower at the shocking waste as I can't eat the fucking lovely things (in their entirety) anymore. Damn Coeliac.

I wish we had a tray of doughnuts in the staffroom. Instead we have half a packet of stale Rich Tea biscuits, a sachet of OatsoSimple and a curry flavoured Pot Noodle.
I suppose it's good in a way because I am a massively obese size 14 and can barely function as a human being.

Vanity sizing <head tilt> 500 years ago you would have been a size 6000.

There's a woman I work with who is - sshhhhh - a size 16!!! How she has the courage to be seen in public I will never understand.

Why is it, on Mumsnet, people are either a teeny tiny 6 - 8, who survive on half a lettuce leaf, or 23 stone binge eaters who are trying to get hold of Ozempic? There's no inbetween. Where are all the normal people? Where are the people I see every day who are average size?

You’ve just lost sight of what a healthy weight is.

Tony's is everywhere in Dublin. I love it. Visited the factory where it's made in Amsterdam.Hadn't realised mumsnetters had a thing for it. Sullies it somewhat.
