If you were in an accident of some kind and sadly lost your eye, what would you choose to wear? Have a glass eye made and try and hide your missing eye as much as you can; or just wear an eye patch and start drinking rum. Okay, the rum part is optional.
I'm leaning towards eyepatch. Hardly anyone goes down this route and I like being an individual.

I'd probably also stand in the pedestrian area in the city centre and loudly lament, "Ahh, these lubbers paved over my bounty". Then I'd throw a Bounty bar on the floor and exclaim, "Ahh, there it is!"
P.S. Americans: Bounty is a coconut chocolate bar made by an American company and sold pretty much everywhere but America. I think have an equivalent called Mounds, although just the name of that makes me giggle. I want to come to America and say, "Ahh, those lubbers paved over my mounds".
A wooden treasure chest full with bounty(yep, the coconut chocolate kind) that can be split with my scurvey mateys will be supplied. Arrr....only i'll not make a very impressive captain, i'd probably make a better cabin boy-girl. -_-
Oh, and you can get Bounty in America, like in international food markets sometimes. Or if you work in the Bounty factor like my uncle.
An American friend of mine said she realised she'd never tasted chocolate until she came here (she said the same about pizza and coffee in Italy). Bit of a surprise because I'm sure I've heard Americans talk about Cadburys. It's the low end of the market but I still like Cadburys chocolate very much.
I have to be careful what I say, though, because I can really look like a snob when I talk about either chocolate or cheese. :)
I'm a keen but amateur baker.
I was right when I said you are a learned man. :)
Keen but amateur baker pretty much describes me too. I wouldn't say learned but I'm a keen amateur at quite a large number of unrelated things. :)
Basically just fascinated by katanas, they're like sharp, shiny metal artworks to me.
I relate my interests by cutting the cakes I bake with katanas :D
I wish katanas were legal here. They were when I was a kid and a friend's dad had three. Them being banned has only made them more fascinating. :)
Taken from Blades-UK.com:
An amendment to this act was passed, which came into effect on the 1st of August 2008, which allows curved and samurai swords which are handmade using traditional forging/production methods to be sold without a license which you will see on the site and can buy and own without a license.
I had to look it up but yes Almond Joy is made by Hershey.
What would you recommend I try to find as far as European chocolate goes?
Lindt and Sprüngli make pretty decent chocolate (especially if you like dark, bitter chocolate). If you like your chocolate sweeter and creamier then I really rate Hotel Chocolat. It's not cheap but it is very nice and probably widespread enough to be sourced outside Europe. There are a couple of small chocolatiers that I like who still hand-make chocolates but they're hard enough to source here, never mind anywhere else.
Or you could always come here and try my home-made stuff. Not sure I'd recommend it, though. It tastes nice but it looks like it has come out of a dog.
I would make it into a online life feed, subscribers(for cash) get to view during "privacy mode" as well. They see all i see.
Hopefully, i'll never have to work again :P
This man who always came into the place I worked wore an eyepatch and pretended to be a pirate.
When I moved to Ireland and all the people heard I was Bristolian, they imediately started up with the old, " arrgh, me hearty! Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!"
I've been sexually propositioned several times - once when I was pregnant, which was really scary. My husband was SHOCKED! He's from Ireland and he says it's much rarer elsewhere...he's pretty well travelled, bless 'im!
Still, there's loads of lovely people too - a real mixed bag.
Where in Bristol did you go?
Xx
You've got some of the cheekiest seagulls I've ever seen!
Have you ever been to Weston Super Mare? The gulls there are super naughty!
Gull cheekiness abounds there!
Never been to Brixham - you should see the gulls in Dublin! Talk about sandwich stealers!!!
