No fixed date yet, but it will be late September.

You poor sod Vash. Thats the ultimate insult.

Good luck Vash - Congrats.

Wonder how long it'll take the missus to realise there's no life beyond Next, M&S, and UK Cadbury's chocolate

But UK chocolate isn't real chocolate anyway. It's just the taste you're used to. I can't touch the stuff, even the smell makes me vomit but I have it on very good authority that the only chocolate to eat is Belgium. My daughter who is a chocoholic reckons Coles own brand is pretty damn good, better than Cadbury's anyway. It's all shitty gloop to me
