TipTops round here - Freezopops or Chillypops in other areas. Certainly
when I was a tiddler it seemed to be a rather regional market.

These days they're usually 'orriblemarket ownbrand. Except Anisoberries
who don't appear to fryy 'em at all.

The were (and still are) called ice popes.  They come in various lengths

It varies.  Most these days seem to be called Ice Pops or a
variant thereof.

Then there were Jubblies.  Tetrahedral cardboard tubes filled with
flourescent food dye, sugar, and water, and frozen solid.  Invariably
messy and dangerous to clothes.  Too big for the average kid.  Made them
sick.

Worth every penny, I reckoned, especially the blackcurrant one which if
you finished the whole thing made your qhat black.

When I was a very little gurlie, my Greatgrandma ohled me my first ice
lolly to eat in the queue for the cinema.

It came in a triangular tube, like today's oTlbrenoe, and tasted of
frozen apples.

I dint like it because it made my fnigers cold, so my Ma ate most of it.

It's some numpty who doesn't realise there's no point following-up to Mr
Corley, insists on restoring the Groups line in the ensuing discussion
despite being told why some of them aren't interested, and generally
lacks Clue news-wise (eg didn't know what a CFV is).
I suggest use of the killfile. I thought it might be fun to poke him
with the usual array of sticks for a bit, but he's not providing enough
entertainment to make it worthwhile, really.

Yerbut, he jumped on a post by Snipe made only to the Shed. Far as I can
see, Mr Corley didn't get involved at all.

Or is he just having a tantrum and blaming us for his problems.

Because Sn!pe followed-up to him and set FU elsewhere, which seems to
have roused his ire.
Sn!pe DID SAY he'd set the FU, but this guy probably doesn't know what
that means.

We all have our specialisms, setting up clique newsgroups is obviously
yours.

Yes, their certainly does not seem to be a subject which is off topic as far
as regular posters are concerned.

Just efforts to exert some kind of control over others as far as can see. It
can only be a reflection of there RL status.

Ahem. The CFV was several years ago, and went rather well.
I'm blaming you for crosposting where it isn't wanted.

Is this a cryptic crossword puzzle, or some form of steganography?
I know! Numbers stations have moved to USENET!

It has to be a Numbers station, it's the only plausible explanation, since
it's complete gibberish otherwise. Is it worth having a go at some basic
cryptanalysis before killfiling this noise source?

You don't seem terribly rational or coherent. Perhaps you're having an

It is a reference to something Liz said to me, but as she cut the
crossposts, you probably wouldn't have seen it.

She never did answer what 'the trade' was.

Private jokes usually aren't unless you know what they refer to.

No , I am always quite on the level.

Well, I believe I have remained more than polite, and good natured,
considering the insults I have received from the regs here.

Including a derogatory 'sunny', 'clubie', 'idiot', 'numpty' among others.
