I thought they were called snowballs? In this specific case, chocolate snowballs..?

I'm sure they're called Snowballs in Britain from memory (ie. talking to Brits over the years).

Well I'm British, talking to you from England, and I've never known them to be called anything else, so Snowballs it is!

I'm sure Hostess make something similar this side of the Atlantic in fairness, but I've always been more aware they're more a British thing it seems.

They look like

 

 

The Scotish have Tea Cakes which have milk chocolate outer , marshmellow filling and a dap of strawberry jam with a biscuit base.  The walnut whip is the same without jam, biscuit base and it has a big nut on top.

 

 

[Flash525]

They're basically the same thing, just with a different outer shell. I guess it's no different from a biscuit being topped with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, plain chocolate, white chocolate or … not topped with anything. It's still a biscuit (or cookie if you're American?).

Correction: The Walnut Whip also has a walnut at its base, under the mallow and right on top of the biscuit base. Or at least it did have the last time I ate one.

 

Please place my pedantry on a pedestal and salute it.

No it doesn't and it never had a walnut in the base, only on the top. There's also never been a biscuit base. You're confused.

I think it’s difficult to exactly describe them - we also have these but the most popular ones are the ones without sprinkled coconut (chocolate from outside, foam from inside) and we have international varieties of the word, because the name used to be racist and it got changed, in the Netherlands, people call it the old racist name, or they call it ‘kisses’, in Germany, it’s “schokokuss” and in Denmark it’s “flødebolle”

I know precisely what racist name you're talking about, a lot of old folk use that here today...

You are correct about it not having a biscuit base. I was confusing it with some other product. But it most definitely did have a walnut in the base when I first enjoyed them.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut_Whip

 

Thinking about it, they used to have a walnut on top (as pictured) and a bit of nut in the base. That would be when Rowntrees of York were making them, before Nestle bought over Rowntrees. The unusual thing about them was when you bit off the top you could then stick your tongue down the chocolaty hole, into the creme fondant filling and... but let's not go there.

Has anyone used UberLux?

If so, is it worth the difference over UberBlack?

my eyelid has been twitching nonstop for the last 2 days, except when it's closed. Any ideas? 

[Death]

Almost all eye twitching is harmless. But if an eye twitch persists, it could signal a serious neurological condition affecting the eyelid — such as blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm. These conditions are much less common and should be diagnosed and treated by an eye doctor.

When I get this it's invariably a combination of tiredness, stress and screen time.

I did consider this, but I've been having the best sleep I've had in like 6-7 years in the last 2-3 weeks, and I've not had time to play games until yesterday and today (after the twitch started). I do have a lot to do right now, though, so maybe that's part of it. 

[trip]

I get a good ol eye twitch when dealing with max stress. 

[mr quick]

Hmmm, this isn't max stress though. That would have been exactly this time last year. Like last year, I have to write two or three songs now for a concert 1 month from now, but this time it's instrumental and I don't have to consider lyrics or indeed vocalists. I'm also only doing 2 live projects this time around, one being the aforementioned one, and the other a great pop gig where I don't really have to think, just enjoy myself.

Call me a witchcraft-loving idiot, this is real. Depending on either eye, it can either "signal" a good or a bad thing. If it's your right eye or left "bottom" eyelid, then you'll see someone you haven't seeen in a while. If its your left "upper" lid, then a bad thing will happen. This truly happen, at least to me. I ALWAYS see someone I know if my right eye twitch, and ALWAYS a terrible thing happens if my left eye is flipping. One day, my left eye was twitching, fast & hard. The next day, my best friend's mother died..... she was killed in her own home. Likewise with my right eye, I was in college then my right eye twitched. I look around, I see one of my friends. It's real.

Happens to me also if I drink a lot of caffeine, take modafinil (narcolepsy medication), or am dehydrated. Both of the former contribute to the latter.

[lewiz6235]

Probably a silly question to ask, but it's all to do with not being able to send messages here on GTAForums as well as being unable to create a signature and all.

 

Figured it'd be a basic thing to work out, but surprisingly I've came up with nothing to resolve the issues on my own thus far.

Am I the asshole here?

 

 

 

TL;dr I invite my friend who's going through a rough patch a new start in my home state, she comes and takes no incentive to change and after she leaves claims I was a big big asshole

The only bad thing that's happened is my continued spiral into depression and despair, hopelessness and dread. Nothing out of the ordinary tbh
something terrible DID happen but that's over month ago. 

The twiching hasn't yet subsided, so maybe something terrible will happen once it does, and for an equal period of time as the twtching itself; a week of horror.

It's been an "off" week for me. I usually drink a f*ckton of coffee, but like to go without it for a while too sometimes.

I have a few questions about female automony:

 

1. Is there's any way to shrink the stupid boobs? I fail to see how men obsess with them. Ever tried carrying two giant melons stitched to your chest? I can't breathe.

2. Is there's any life hazard from removing ovaries? I know that they're the "factory" of our hormones, but what will really happen if they are removed? I'm not talking about growing facial hair (yes, females do grow THAT - it's our hormones that stops that from happening), I'm talking about other effects.

3. On the subject of ovaries, is it possible to "remove" the tubes and "stick" them elsewhere? Like, cut them from their place, tie them, then stitch them someplace else, like the top. Just stick them there, no "drilling paths" either.

Ah, you pesky foreigners and your language difficulties.

 

ANATOMY

 

AUTOMONY is a little too close to autonomy, which a lot of men frown on, especially in your neck of the woods.

[ten-a-penny]

Well I saw several posts that say autonomy so I assumes that it's said that way . My phone sucks anyway. Could've corrected that had I been on my PC or my laptop when I posted it. Must've swapped the last letters by accident (fast typing 'n' all dat).

MILLENNIALS AREN’T ALL THAT INTERESTED IN BREASTS, ACCORDING TO PRETTY DEPRESSING NEW STUDYWhat's the matter with kids today?

Turns out men are no longer obsessed with them (like previous generations).

 

I'm proud to be from a pro breast generation. 

 

 

and...I personally know two women who had breast reduction surgery.  So yes...you can do something about them if you really want.

Do you think R* put exploitable glitches like in 3d era e.g. glitching through a wall to get to other island on purpose?

Unlikely, since they patched the North Yankton Glitch in GTA V and they're always fixing the New Austin and Guarma glitch in RDR2.

Glitches like this always tend to happen in open-worlds, they simply couldn't fix those glitches on 3D era.
