You have to laugh at their naivety.  How can 250g truly be 'kingsize'?  Surely it takes at least a kilo to win that accolade!

I (plus wifey, all though she had minimal involvement) had 1 last night, and there were 3 of them this morning. Plus there were 12 of the little red/yellow/green dinguses, too (they're basically Kit-Kat equivalents).

(nb - I'm not being that greedy, am sharing them round my cow-orkers)

Ahhhh! Jeg husker dem! De smaker så godt! Ikke så veldig sunt, men uimotståelig!

Hvis du trenger hjelp med ordene, prøv denne nettsiden...

Amazing:
Ahhhh! I bear in mind them! They tastes the accumulations be comfortable! No matter the accumulations awfully salutary , but uimotstelig! Of which you need aid along with words prv this nettsiden.
But translate.google.com offers:
Ahhhh! I remember them! They taste so good! Not very healthy, but irresistible! If you need help with the words, try this website ...
which seems a bit more apt (and yes, I did need help, my norsky is not nearly as good as I'd like!)  lmao

But translate.google.com offers:

Never thought that translate.google would be so much better than the translator I've habitually used for donkey's years. Thanks for the link Siasl. Won't use anything else now.

PS Just ran the above para through translate.google into norweegink and then back-translated it into English...just to check...got this...

"Never thought translate.google would be so much better than the translator I have regularly used the donkey in the year. Thanks for the link Siasl. Do not use anything else now."

Not bad for country music! Only a couple of small errors. Pretty nifty translator.

Apparently the Google method is to use statistical analysis on phrases - and they've used as a basis all the EU government documentation that is freely available in electronic form so has a huge body of reliable translations to work from.

There are probably holes in that method, but it works rather well.

Yep, sounds just like my life there...except you forgot the all important munching Dajm Bars stage! Joy

A BIG PS: Just how do you get the pic in the body of your post rather than tacked on separately at the end - which
is what I get because I go via the Alternative Options and the Browse button? Or is it a Moderator perk?

Nope, anyone can do it  Cheesy
Google for the image you want, then click on the 'view full size' option, copy the URL, come back to IA, click on the 'insert images' button (look up from the text box, and just above this smiley  Wink's head is the one - hover over it and you'll see the description)...then between the <img> tags, stick your previously harvested URL...and tadaaa  Joy

Hope that helps, if I can shed any more light give me a shout.

First attempt at dropping an image in the text panel...fingers crossed...
am full of Desperation - Pacification - Expectation - Acclamation - Realization...

Must be doing something wrong...full of consternation...just get a Picture Box with a
red cross that I can't open.

I'll try again later unless my security systems are preventing it showing...I'll put the pic
under this post in my time-honoured way so you can see what it was.

LATER THAT SAME DAY...Ready for a retry...

Press button A...

TWO MINUTES LATER...Y e s s s s ! Joy Thank you Heels.  Smacker

But how come the image 'under' the text box is bigger than the one 'in' the text box?
