Had mine with a cuppa yesterday, about 10 minutes after it dropped through the letterbox. :D

Mine arrived today, as expected the wrapper is twice as big as the two bite bar. Okay for a mid afternoon snack i guess.

They're alright, if you sandwich them between 2 mars bars

Boonies.... ;)

Re: Free stuff on the web
 

I asked my Glaswegian missus what that means and she says she hasn't a clue.

No, I didn't mean your spelling of it confused her, I asked her about 'Boonies' a while ago, because Raja has it in his profile.

In the boonies = in the sticks?

Re: Free stuff on the web
 

Is it not 'Bonny' (Boonies) Scotland?

Re: Free stuff on the web
 

Sorry - to clear this up - i thought that skink4u was confusing bonnies with boonies. Bonnie as in beautiful, and boonies as danief correctly points out is in the sticks.

Spelling was not what i was correcting.

Boonies is a Swedish term which i learned from a friend of mine at work. (Well he's Swedish and he used it so i assumed its a Swedish term).

I thought that Skunk4u has also heard it and confused it with bonnies.

Does that make ANY sense? :D

EDIT: See above posts - looks like i was right....

Re: Free stuff on the web
 

I always thought boonies was an abbreviation of boondocks? which was something to do with mountains

Actually first of all I got excited because I thought we were talking about boobies...

Re: Free stuff on the web
 

See my edit (mirriam-webster on-line). It is short for boondocks.


Boondocks:

Etymology: Tagalog bundok mountain
1 : rough country filled with dense brush
2 : a rural area : STICKS

Re: Free stuff on the web
 

Flippin nora, talk about going off topic ...

Well at least I know what Boonies means, although I'm not sure it applies to a great city like Glasgow?

Actually, Skunk was right, if by Bonnies, he means the bonny banks of Loch Lomond, which is where I live. :D

Now, has anybody got any more freebie links to post?
