From mark@cool-tools.co.uk Tue, 20 Mar 2001 09:30:40 -0800 From: "Mark Leith" Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 09:30:40 -0800 Subject: RE: OT: Oracle *Chocolate* Monitoring Tools/Friday Recipe Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain They do sweets over here - kind of like hard boiled sweets - or the famous British Rock - which is basically a long stick of hard sweet. The rhubarb sort is more commonly known to me in the form of a "Rhubarb & Custard" flavoured sweet (small hard boiled kind of things :) Lucozade was another of my favourites when I was younger, but as Lee pointed out - I only EVER drink it now as an aid when I am flat on my back in bed ill! Sports people do use it as an energy giving drink - but the only sport I subscribe to is golf:) Mark -----Original Message----- Carmichael Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 01:26 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L rhubarb flavored rock????
