so you collect old tv guides ? and when the six million dollar man was on - i mustve been in nappies or barely in nappies. Guess someone isnt a spring-chicken anymore Just kidding ringy - i know how sensitive you get. Makes you such an easy target. *so wanna collect pensions together with me*? hehe...now especially since it's not the same anymore... Hey, I have a few that I picked up at a garage sale that had a cover price of ten cents...don't remember what the other covers were, but one was Bonanza...

i dont even bother with tv guides - i mean, with newspapers, you get the tv guid listed daily right. And its like, when you know when your show are on - you have your own mental schedule! we dont have a lot of non-regular programming. In the UK, tho = they had a lot of non-regular programming, a lot of tv specials and stuff, so you need a TV guide in the UK. I used to highlight what to watch for the week it was so much fun! they hav the best tv!

i dont think i hav any movies on vhs that i want on dvd. the video tapes i have are just all the tapes of tv shows ive recorded over the years. A lot of stuff from the late 80s and early 90s! I bet it would be fun to go and re-watch most of the tapes - but dude, when do i have the time! its like this past two weeks ive seen only one movie! thats just ONE!!!! And i used to watch like 2 or 3 a week! this is bad!
see, when my tread mill breaks down, i hav no time for DVDs. Its a chain reaction!

I do have alot of tapes that I have recorded but I also have hundreds that are pre-recorded and aren't available on dvd...or unedited versions like Lucas before someone held a piece of paper up to cover...well you get the idea... So, get the thing fixed already...it's been ages... Don't feel bad, I've slowed down a lot too...while the to watch pile has increased...

f**k dude - thats a lot to pay for just the Milo!!! Wow, you would do that just for me Anyways, i think it may taste like Nesquick (the yellow can with that rabbit on it, but im not too sure!). Well where did you order it from, coz i heard the Aussie version is slightly different in taste to the Asian version!!!). But crap dude, you sure do pay a lot for luxuries!! Ok, a good tip - you can either have it hot, like a hot beverage and drink it like hot chocolate. But for me, i only take it cold. Ice cold with a lot of ice!!! Yummy! Ultimate-heaven!!! You will love it, if you like chocolate milk!! Its like chocolate milk, but not as milky -(I dont like chocolate milk myself!) And i used to eat the stuff raw with a spoon as a kid - you can do that. Its edible. Its also a popular breakfast thing to have milo powder (raw) on toast!!!! I havent had that in ages, but i kknow people who do still have that! many uses for Milo!

Well, just curious and $28 was for shipping...and I do like Nesquik (my container still says Nestle Quik) every now and then...the Milo comes in a green can so can't tell whether it's Aussie or Asian...just looked again...I am guessing it's not Asian, the label has spanish on it...they also had Milo Bars...they also had the 8oz cans but I have to do the lactose free milk...and now I am thinking I have no clue...they also have Walkers Roast Chicken Chips (showing product of UK)...so, who knows...i'll figure it out when the stuff get's here... checked again...still no idea, but, I have six 1.5 kg cans/tins arriving in about 2 weeks...

well Milo is the same packaging for asia and aussie, And dude, six 1.5kg cans - those r the huge-ass ones! good luck on finishing them!!! Ok, now i need me some Milo for lunch (thanks again ringy!!). Yea, we do get milo bars as well, and milo chocolate, milo ice-cream etc, etc!! Milo is just part of your child hood here! And dude, Walkers Roast CHicken Chips are nice. They are from the Sensations Range (which is the expensive range) - i think they have other flavors like Roasted Lamb, Thai Spicey etc) Theyre nice, but get pretty sickly after a while - coz theyre big huge bags! And speaking of foreign chips - in Thailand, they have seaweed flavored Lays, sushi flavored Lays, Tom Yam flavored lays...so much! I forgot all about them! Dude, i wish i could afford to import all these foreign foods - but im lucky i get like 90percent of the foods i want. Just stuff like kettle-corn that i would import! Hope you enjoy the milo dude - and like i said - have it ice cold! nothing beats it!!

Hope you enjoy the milo dude - and like i said - have it ice cold! nothing beats it!! Actually I looked at my container of Nesquik and it's smaller than that...I did look into it further and they have different consistencies from different areas...some are powder while others are kind of chunky...some are made to mix better with water while others create layer on top and are made for milk...so, it will be a surprise when it get's here... So, once I feel like snacking I will have to grab a case or two of some of those snacks...then will have to not eat anything for a while...hehe...

true that - here in asia, the milo is not meant to be made with fresh milk. You disolve a bit of the powder in hot water...add in condensed milk - tons of water to dilute and sugar to taste.
Im not too sure on the aussie version, but its prob the kind u mix fully with fresh milk and not with water.
In asia, fresh milk isnt that easy to find in certain provinces and regions, so i think they adapted it to use condensed milk, which is the version ive grown used to and love!
Im guessing you imported the aussie kind right dude? well, read the directions on the packaging, but im sure its the 'fresh milk kind'.
any dude, try eating it with a spoon or on toast for a different kind of milo experience.

Actually saw a container from Australia and it's not in spanish, so, probably from Spain or something... used to put Quik on my toast...
