The Ice Cream Man

[veeten]

Ahhh, summer... lazy days, fun with friends. When, suddenly, you hear that tell-tale jingle-jingle of the bells...

It's the Ice Cream Man! Yay! :bounce:

Quick, go bug mum about some money... if you don't get some, go find dad (he's a push-over, especially if you go get him some as well :p : ).

Mmmmmmm... :lips: Ice Cream. :D

Do you remember?... :)

[CarlMetro]

Are you buying then?

[LeonBrooke]

I'll have some too please. just pain vanilla, please :)

[Ian McC]

I'll have a Fab, haven't had one of them for a while :)

[oily oaf]

My mum and dad always told me that when the ice cream man rang his bells it meant he'd run out :(

[walrus81]

Greensleeves always meant one thing to me.

Time for a double choc top.

[wacked]

double choc top for me too..

[GridGirl]

I had a 99 that cost £1.10 from the Ice Cream man at the weekend. If only you could buy your own whippy ice cream machines. It would be like heaven.

[Funks]

Ebay - the answer to everything!
Yours for as little as £3750. (Not sure if Ice Cream is included)

[GridGirl]

I'll start saving. :d

Can you still get Screwballs with those 1p chewiing gums in the bottom?

[Captain VXR]

From my local one, another local one and the Victoria Park one (all Bath) you can get screwballs. That's what I always buy, with a flake and strawberry sauce :facelick:

Jellied eels and raspberry sauce......... :erm:

My Grandparents always used to say it was the fish and chip van to stop us wanting ice cream... we always knew otherwise but they STILL say that to this day. Anyways, I always quite fancied their being a fish and chip van that came right up your street.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Oh the memories of the ice-cream van..... playing outside with friends in the early evening sun, then what that! In the distance the chimes chan be heard. All the children go mental screaming ICE CREAM VAN! ICE CREAM VAN! Then we all run across the road, not looking for the oncoming traffic, everyone is just starring at the ice cream van. Occasionally one child is knocked down by the van aas it slows, but an ice cream can stop any tears.

Then we all crowd around screaming what we want. The van is blue and white, but the back is always filthy, as it has never been washed. The ice cream selling guy is usually very slim with tattoos on the inside of his forearm, wearing ear studs and always has a toothy grin. :D When we look in the van and it's clear that it hasn't been washed since it was bought. You can see the rats sat in the corner, with the evening sun glistening in their eyes.

Back to the ice-cream...what a marvelous choice. Whippy, Double Whippy, Whippy with a flake.. then you hear more bells in the distance, they are the sirens of a police car. As fast as you can say 'vanilla' the ice cream man jumps into the front of the van and speeds of in a cloud of LDV exhaust smoke............oh memories :)

We have those near me.

Surely the van driver should be paying attention to the "Mind That Child" signs on their own van. Or as they say here "Mind The Bairns" or "Watch The Weans". :p :

Interestingly enough, my dad was knocked down by Dario Franchitti's grandfather's ice cream van as it slowed down, back in the old days. :dozey:

[oily oaf]

Jellied eels and raspberry sauce......... :erm:

I'm off the eels for the time being.
I bought some from West Ham market last Saturday and they hadn't taken the bones out :eek:

It was like eating a slimey Picnic Bar.

I'll stick to the old pie and mash for the foreseeable :D
With a nice bowl of Neopolitan ice cream for dessert of course.
Well I doesn't hurt to have a bit of foreign grub now and again does it folks?

[LotusElise]

Which colour do you like to eat first?
I eat the vanilla first as it's my least favourite, followed by the chocolate and then the strawberry.

I just remember Homer Simpson with the Neopolitan ice cream.

Mmmm, chocolate, DOH
Mmmm, chocolate, DOH

Normally when I divulge information of such a personal nature I have no choice other than to kill the recipient, but as it's you Blossom I am prepared to reveal that I mash it all into a pulp with the back of my spoon and then raise the bowl to my lips and slurp it all out while Mrs Oaf hits me round the head with a rolled up newspaper whilst screaming at me to not play with my food :(

Pancakes tonight, with maple syrup of course :D
Right I'm off for a quick toss.

You can make a fortune as an ice cream seller, just be careful you don't tread on someone else's patch :p : People have been shot.... :p :

I wish....... it would be so useful, I wouldn't have to go anywhere if I was hungry.......... :facelick:


We have those near me.

Really? Cool... :cool:

I eat it too fast to differentiate... not very clever, it should be savoured.
