Just went down to the bank and thought I'd grab myself an icecream on the way back to the office.

$4.20 for a Magnum or $3.80 for a Gaytime.

wtf are icecream's made out of nowadays?

Ended up having a Bubble'o Bill for the first time in about 25 years. Not as nice as I remember them being but still fairly good. Lot smaller than I remember though.

that's a very good question.. given milk & sugar are the two main ingredients, the following is interesting..

farm gate milk prices are currently 19% lower than they were 5 years ago (currently 40.2c per litre vs 49.6c per litre back in 2008). milk solids are down a similar percentage.

commodity price for sugar is basically the same as it was 5 years ago (peaked in 2011 but has dropped) - 18c per pound now vs 17c per pound in 2008.

I can't understand getting in a tizzy over your spouse being fb friends with someone you don't like (or for whatever reason) at the end of the day, you won cos they're with you. What's the point?

I've even been out to dinner with ex-girlfriends before.

Boils down to trust for me. But I know a lot of people don't feel the same way..

I think it's an issue whereby the lady may have been in love with someone else who cheated on them.

Their future reactions isn't actually jealousy or a lack of trust, its a fear of going through that heartache again and wanting to do what they can to ensure history doesn't repeat. It does though mean that things which they previously wouldn't have cared about (like FB friends etc) become things which they are suspicious about.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Basically, I'm paying the cost of some previous boyfriends indiscretions.

Maybe they've started adding crude oil into the mix?

Sweet crude perhaps?

I have zero ex's. Maybe when I'm older relationships will seem appealing.

Or maybe I'm permanently f**ked. :lol:

Supermarket packs are by far the cheapest option for those buggers.
Certainly not convenient though (unless you are going to shout for the office....)

me & mrs muzby seem to have the same amount of baggage so we balance each other out..

although we've never had the 'priors' talk, and don't feel the need to. we know we both had a life before each other, and some details about someone you care about don't need to be shared.

they're in the past & that's where they'll stay..

ST JOHN'S College's teenage bowling attack was begging for the mercy rule as ex-New Zealand first class player and Hawke's Bay Cricket Association CEO Craig Findlay belted them to all parts of the ground in a blistering 307 off 115 balls.

Findlay, whose innings for Complete Flooring Napier Technical Old Boys including a mammoth 27 sixes, has come under fire from parents and players who questioned his motive against teenagers he should be "nurturing".

Findlay did not appear to regret his actions.

"It was coming off alright. I was dropped early though by some poor young fellow when I was on about 40," Findlay said.

"My favourite six was probably one that sailed over the sightscreen."

Asked if he would approach the game the same way if he was playing against his own son - now aged 10 - Findlay said he most certainly would.

"I tell you I also won't be cutting him any slack," Findlay said.

"I can't wait for him to play against them [experienced adults] ... to compete against the best."

Should Findlay have cut the kids some slack? Vote in the poll below

St John's 16-year-old captain James McNatty said things were already getting out of hand at the 23-over mark of the 45-over match, so he pleaded with the 42-year-old Findlay to retire.

Findlay said he'd think about it.

"After another seven overs I asked him again but he just walked away and carried on batting," said McNatty, who then approached opposing skipper Mike Pawson about the situation.

"Mike said there were only a few more overs to go and to keep our chins up," McNatty said.

Desperate, McNatty tried bowling every player in the team except the wicketkeeper.

"There was nothing I could do so I used everyone to have a go," added McNatty, whose teammates are mostly 15- and 16-year-olds.

"We were just glad to get off the field."

Concerned onlooker Megan Singleton said: "Can't believe the cricket CEO retired on 300. Some of those kids were 15 and completely demoralised. What a guy!

"That CEO should be nurturing these players not trying to show off and have his score on back page."

Andrew Frame, who was playing in a game on the next pitch at Napier's Nelson Park in New Zealand, added: "Nothing to be proud of in that game. Tech should have declared at 300-1 at the 20-over break and saved face.

"Felt for the St John's boys. Unfair contest, really."
