The child inside...

[Bastet]

A funny thing just happened to me...I was sitting here, minding my own business, when suddenly I heard the faint tinkling sound of the music from an ice cream van. As the music got louder (and the van closer), I had an almost irresistable urge to run out into the street without my shoes, coins in hand, to go get myself an ice cream cone. :jiggy: I haven't done that in about 20 years, but I guess that music still brings out the little kid in me.

Those annoying chime tones have the same impact on me bastet. I love green gelati.

 

[Bastet]

I'm now stuck with an urge for chocolate ice cream lol.

 

[SoulTYPE]

I love all flavors of ice cream except vanilla. It's too plain!

Pink Gelati OWNS

Hi Basted,
There's nothing wrong with 'the child inside'; far too few people allow the child out! this link to one of the sites I 've set up contains words that amply makes the point!

(I quote the words to various lyrics I particularly like)

All I can say is, don't do it. The icecream from the Mr Whippy is not the culinary treat it once was. You can watch it start to melt as you hand over your money. Last time I had one it was agrave disappointment.

What is that ice cream that has the pic of a boy holding an ice cream andhas his tongue hanging out? He looks as if he is strangling the ice cream

 

[Scuba Pete]

Ah, the slightly off tune and distorted sounds of the ice cream vendor. Makes me think of summer! I never feel the urge to run out to one, but that's because I didn't have one growing up, I guess! But most who know me accuse me of never growing up! I still play and hike in the woods, and just love to pull practical jokes!

So ? Did you ? And if not , why not ?

 

[Bastet]

No, I didn't...no coins.

I remember those 30cent cones at Maccas. That was even the title for them "One 30 cent coone please." I dunno how much the yare now.

New thread: Mr Whippy is an agent of Satan the devil

Yeah, they're a whopping 50c now. That's inflation for ya.

 

[SoulTYPE]

It's not the cost! It was that traditional name that has lost it's value

 

[Bastet]

Yes, that's been hijacked by Hungry Jacks.

 

[SoulTYPE]

Maccas at least has breakfast menu not like HJ or KFC or red Rooter
