Â* Just stickin' a needle in his bubble , Ed - and that only because
he's such an arrogant prick most of the time . I don't know which brand
of WM chocolates you got , these are Queen Anne branded and really are
quite good . I get the dark chocolate variety , don't know what the milk
choc ones are like . I don't eat a lot of candy , mostly dark chocolate
and these things . But we do love our cakes and cookies ...
