I know you have bigger problems to solve at the minute, but when you get a spare time could you please sort out your confectionery terminology.
I was told today that you call ice-lollies ice-blocks, because they aren't lollies, they're blocks of ice.
"But, but, but..." I stammered like an inarticulate (non-literal) prick. "They're lollies made of ice!"
Apparently not. When an Australian goes out to buy lollies, they come back not with lollipops, the coolest looking of all sweet things, but rather they return with sweeties. Or candy if you're from America.
And what we call lollies, Australians call, I dunno, fucking 'cheese' or something, the mad fucking bastards. It must be all the sun going to their head. Or venom from all those spiders and snakes that inhabit their inhospitable, yet paradoxically inviting continent.
Like I say, there's no real rush, but I'd appreciate it if you could sort this shambles out sooner rather than later.
