Re: Free stuff on the web
Mine arrived today, as expected the wrapper is twice as big as the two bite bar. Okay for a mid afternoon snack i guess.

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.

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?
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...

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