The Yak Shack Forum

you leave them alone for one weekend.

One weekend,not a week not a month, not a year but one short weekend.

You get back and you see they are using "lemon and mint" toothpaste!

Can you imagine anything more hideous!

I am extremely worried about Mark's sanity!

lmao at least he was still using toothpaste. I have known men that would rather brush thier teeth with beer  :-X when there wives are not aropund

Oh boy you are in for it now Mark!!  ;)

Hey Mcgonagall does the beer work?

no idea but the wife in question was not please hubby had done nothing all weekend but drink beer  ;D

and from what she told me when she got home hubby was lets says non coherant and had alot of trouble standing and everything smelled of beer including the bathroom

even the mouthwash bottle was full of beer


divorce city

LEMON and MINT? Is that even possible/legal? Which marketing exec had the bright idea of putting those two together? Sounds rather yucky - how did you manage to use it Mark?

C'mon the whole forum is on the edge ;)

As for the beer... disgusting is all I can say :P Can't stand the stuff

Hmmm. I shall have to take my toothbrush around and try it...

I'll put some mouthwash at the ready in case it tastes hideous!

 ;D

Haha! Yeah it's true I bought it... but to be fair the other options were Apple and mint, or Melon and mint. It's an introductory offer and so it was a bargin price, and I just can't resist a bargain! I haven't tried it yet, but I'll be sure to let you know how vile it is when I do :)

Great story Mcgonagall!!  :)

Mark -  all I can say is that you are a braver man than I am my friend!!   :P

That's a shame!

I've tried it, and Roz has now tried it! The plan now was to send it from forum member to forum member for a verdict  :P

SPOILSPORT

Ha Ha!!   :)

Probably couldn't get it past customs here!

they would probably stop it at customs like the harry potter christmas crackers to import them into Australia you need an explosives license .
This was told to me by the gentleman that own the English shoppe
in Kalamanda where I buy all my harry potter lollies

I may have to take you up on your offer of those HP lollies mcgonagall, I can't find anything like what you have described here (exceptht he choc frogs! LMK what you have and I will send you some money for them! ;)

No money needed unless you want alot.
Whizzbees and beans 75 cent
and wands 25c.

Just email me your address and the next time I head to kalamanda
will get you some

Much appreciated then... remind me I owe you :) If I see anything HP here in the future I will be sure to send it on to you :) I don't mind how much you send - a couple of each would be fine thanks - I'll send you my address now

Hi FTY:

Does your chocolate frogs come with a lenticular Wizard trading card?  The one I bought did and I sent it to Mark in my last parcel to him.  

they do come with cards but they look alot differant than the english ones but similar to the amercian ones .
I have a few spares of the Australian ones if anyone would like some

Check with Mark our Head Yak as I sent him the one I got in my frog.  It was the Wizard Newt Scamander who wrote Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.

I think he would like them Mcgonagall.   :)

Ed have you read Quidditch through the ages? Or Fantastic beasts and where to find them??

Hi Roz:

You and Mark sent those to me in my Birthday package but I have not read them yet.  I plan to do so this coming week.   :)

I live those books and the best things about them is that they are only $6.95 for the both

Did we really?

Ha!

Well - those are first edition first print super dupa ones that come with a book plate (Hogwarts library style) in a Satchel style packet.

But AU$6.95 is a bargain, but perhaps they are not done for charity over there - does it say that monies raised go to Comic Relief? (for poor children in the UK and Africa?) - I hope so  :)

yeap the money does go to the charity . They where that price in target but they where having this super sale .

Ahhhhhhh that's OK then - it frustrates me when European products cost less elsewhere :)

For example Salomon inline skates are about 50% of the price in America but are made in France. That is half the price that they are available for in France. The excuse has always been that UK prices reflect the cost of importing but I'd say America was a tad further away from France :)

 ::)

Yeah comic relief is one of the most fun charities in the UK - every 2 years they have a day dedicated to raising money for this charity - almost the whole country gets involved, making and selling cakes, doing sponsored runs/ baths in baked beans etc. THe two main driving comedians behind it are Lenny Henry and Dawn French... sounding familiar?

Yeah Lenny does the voice for the disembodied head on the Knight bus and Dawn French plays the fat lady

 ;D

Oooh - Lenny Henry is in Australia now doing a one man show called 'So much things to say'. He was on a popular chat show last week (Rove Live for those of you playing at home) and he was hilarious! At the end, he demonstrated a pie throwing routine and all the celebrities that were on the show that night pelted cream pies at the host. Absolutely hysterical!  

As for my copies of Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch through the ages, I received them as a Christmas present a couple of years back - from a fellow HP fan :)

hey FTY

        I got your wands and bertie bott beans and you fizyy whizzbees and while post them in the  morning to you .

the kids say ty the spent there pocket money on harry potter lollies

Thanks heaps mcgonagall :D... apologise to your kids for me that they had to spend their hard-earned money on those HP lollies... *sigh*

I will let you know when they arrive :)

Do you all like the Harry Potter flavored jelly beans?  I purchased a few boxes when they came out and removed the card that said what the flavors were and brought it into the office I worked in.  As you know some of those flavors are pretty nasty.  I will never forget some of the expressions from people who ate those!   :-X    :P    :'(     ???     :-[      :o

You big meanie, you! ;)

When they first came out here, the flavours were pretty lame - the worst was a horseradish one (but it was nevetheless hilarious when I gave my sister one ;D) I have not seen them around my neck of the woods for a while, and I am not sure whether the ones mcgonagall is sending me are imported from the States where the flavours are a lot more interesting as you say. Will let you know! :D

Hi

FTY the ones i have sent you are imported from england and some of them taste gross my kids where making all sorts of faces but some of them are rally nice ttooooo

I look forward to it :D I might send some to my little sisters and see what they think!

Then I will let you know if I need to get the shop's details so I can contact them direct for box orders ;D

I have not seen them for sale around here for some time.  I wonder if they ran out of popularity or did complaints come in to force them off the shelves?   ;)

Hi mcgonagall,

I received the lollies today, thanks! Very yummy :D Have not had the wands yet, but he fizzing whizzbees are great and the bertie botts beans are wicked ;D

Just had a wand now - I really like them - the fruit flavoured filling reallly adds to the taste

I'll keep an eye out for anything HP that may be of interest for you now :)

Glad yopu like them. ;D

Just let me know if you  would like more. I will be going back up there in a week or so.

and the kids have saved up more pockeet money as they love harry potter lollies.

 ;D Thanks - cute box BTW I forgot to mention

I will let you know, but I don't want to be partly responsible for your kids' frequent visits to the dentist

Hmm I don't think she'll BLAME you as such FTY, rather just send you the dental bills  :o

The guilt weighs heavily... but these lollies are just so nice :D

Could I please put in an order for 100000 of each? ;) ;D

Just had a banoffee one...mmm. Kinda made up for the spinach one I had before it - ewww :P

the kids may buy alot but are only allowed 1 item a day and that is only if they have made there beds and cleaned there rooms so they do last and i have a dentist right next door so there teeth are safe tooo

glad you liked the box i let my 3 year old decorate it .
