Well, it's already the 12th of January... Shouldn't you be getting something more... New Year-ish?

Why should we? Depending on your calendar, New Years either has already gone by or is still months away.

Word. I think it's about time people get out their MLK Jr. holiday avatars. Sheesh, people, the clock's a-tickin'....

A most palpable hit.
And yeah, people, time to take the tree to the curb and take down the lights.

Some people here still are keeping their xmas AVs. Probably cause they look good.

Time to start working on a Black Mage with bunny ears (hey, Easter's coming up).

Talk about premature. Mind you here in the UK, there were TV adverts for Easter Eggs on 26th of December!

Dale Winton + Christmas Hampers = Xmas gift adds on 26th December 2002 for Xmas 2003!

Plus I think I have SAD now thinking of Xmas again.

I've changed mine to my Eagles helmet avatar. Go Birds!

You can't have SAD, you're not a hypocondriac American.

WTF is SAD?

Haven't seen a Cadbury ad yet.

Guess not. Wahey!

SAD = Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Yeah, all the local shops and supermarkets have them round here, as well as those Galaxy truffle eggs - time to see if I can't get that diabetes I've heard so much about.

Heck, 19 years of living so far and no major sugar related illness or side-effect, though I did have to go to the orthodontist to geta brace or two a few years back. But that's the British way.

I think the Scots have the right idea with deep-fried Mars bars and chips. Just saying that makes my arteries cry.

30 years of damn-near mainlining every type of chocolate snack on the planet and drinking sugary soft drinks and all I have is 3 fillings - what the hell do i have to do to get a sugar related illness? Must be all that unhealthy exercising I did.

Eat a Hershey bar. No, really, the thing killed half my taste buds off, I nearly dialled 999 since this is ABH by chocolate bar.

I've had them in the States, *shrug* they didn't seem all that special, if anything they were kind of yucky.

Hence my point.

My dad brought one back from 'merika along with a "I love NYC" mug which was cool and a WTC crystal memorial thingy.

Last time I was over, I bought a Kit-kat, bit into and tried to work out where they had hidden the flavour of the chocolate! Seriously the thing had a sort of non-taste compared the the UK version, very lacking in essential sugars.

Sounds like a fat free, sugar free and therefore taste free candy bar in the US. Quick, get the Fat Brigade on the job!

How dare they market such healthy alternatives, I wanna die from chocolate, dammit!

The problem is, their idea of chocolate is, well, bland. And in a nation where a doughnut gets coated in enough sugar to sink a ship, that's unforgivable; and the lack of taste in their Crisps is appalling.

Chips, dear, it's chips not crisps.
