Forget all that Fourth Horseman malarkey in the rest of the world, here's the real news:

Chocolate lovers say they are heartbroken after Nestlé announced the axing of the iconic Caramac bar.

After more than 60 years as a staple on confectionary shelves, Nestlé revealed on Wednesday it was axing the caramel treats. The name Caramac is an abbreviation of caramel and Mackintosh’s, in reference to the company that originally manufactured them.

The brand revealed the decision was taken after a steady decline in sales over the years.

...

Taking to social media to share their upset, Caramac lovers hoped the news wasn’t true. One X user posted: “Caramac being discontinued Is this some sort of sick joke @NestleUKI?”

Nestle replied: “We're sorry to hear you're disappointed. Unfortunately it wasn't as popular as others in the range, so it's been discontinued.” The confectionary brand reassured another user that Toffee Crisp and Animal Bars were still available after she raised concerns the bars were also being axed.

One Caramac fanatic said they had resorted to stockpiling the caramel treats.

“So it’s a sad day, it’s official, there will be no more Caramac bars off the production line, it’s been cancelled so I bought as many boxes as I could,” they wrote. “They should last a while (I hope) but once they are gone, there will be no more caramac eclairs! And no caramilk or Milkybar gold are not the same!!! #dontcancelmycaramac”

Marc Colman from Folkestone added: “My life is no longer complete. Nestle have discontinued Caramac bars, not happy.”

While all the losers lurk?

I'm a simple man.

Toast (wholemeal). Baked Beans (Sainsbury's own brand). Egg (fried). Brown Sauce.

Cup of tea on the side.

Lovely.

Who wants one? Sainsbury's own brand only I'm afraid. Cost of living and all that.

Correct me if I got anything wrong, TA!

only in the UK...

Picture Slam. It's objectively awful TV, and I've never been a big fan of Carr ....... but in my current state of constant exhaustion and unending misery I find it almost calming.

Imagine the disappointment when I went to school and learned the Romans didn't actually have a time travelling flying machine.

What a silly Klopp he is. 9 men and an own goal is not a golden performance, but football history is littered with disrespect for referee decisions. Was the ball over the line? They think its all over

Finally off Virgin Media and their bloody price rises.

And where does the Galaxy Ripple fit into this hellscape.

Got any plans this weekend? Going away for a nice long weekend? Staying in and gaming for two days straight? Celebrating your divorce? We want to hear it 😎

Personally we're just going to make some home made pizzas, and enjoy a bottle of red after the kids have (finally) gone to bed. Then we're getting a rare evening to ourselves on Saturday night by heading out to a local restaurant.

Needed some positivity in life, so just upped and decided to rewild our front garden.

My wife and I have talked about making the front garden a wildflower meadow (which will be step 3 or 4), but my wife likes frogs so I thought I'd gamble on the chance that a little pond might attract some - as well as being a boon for wildlife in general.

We used the kids' old paddling pool, as you can see, and I'm following guidance found on various websites (e.g. rewildingbritain.org.uk, RSPB, etcetera).

Step 2 will be buying some native pond plants once we've got some rainwater in.

Once we've got the meadow going, I'm planning on seeing if I can recruit any neighbours. (First target is next door who has never once used their garden and only goes out to strim it down. I'm hoping I can tempt them with an offer of turning it into a meadow for free, seeing as they paid for our shared fence.)

it still all looks as good as goldeneye, and gameplay is not much more exciting than mario kart. although playing both original versions is a little depressing.
