This is one delectable goodness. It melts in your mouth. So good you will want more. It's not my favorite but I can have more. I have a sweet tooth and dessert is my weakness. What's your favorite dessert?

Max Crisp That looks delicious. I too have a sweet tooth and have many favourites. When I’m in a restaurant I find it difficult to choose which dessert to have. What I try to do is not have what I’ve had recently.

The evidence points to the fact that Roswell was a real incident and that indeed an alien craft did crash, and that material was recovered from that site. We all know that UFOs are real.All we need to ask is where do they come...

I'm loving this temporary tax-free period that the Canadian government has extended on some of our purchases. In my province of Ontario, we pay 13% taxes. That certainly adds up. The majority of the items on the exemption...

Max Crisp @Juliaacv Really? That was during the Thatcher years. I bet she sold you off to the French. Sacré bleu! Looks like we are in trouble then. Do you want to buy us?

Max Crisp @Juliaacv This is rip-off Britain. It’s getting so bad I think we’ll have to consider selling off Canada and other commonwealth countries just to make ends meet.

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle Yeah, but you can’t get a five dollar bill for anything less than five dollars. They usually have cut-price bargains at this time of year. Deception is often the way, especially at Christmas.

Max Crisp I’m not sure what a Medicare card entitles you to, but it’s obviously age-related. Here in the UK we get free essential health care from cradle to grave. The only thing you may have to pay for is the prescription drugs. In England they are free for the over...

Max Crisp @LadyDuck It’s 20% here in the UK too! We only started paying VAT back in 1973 as a condition for joining the, then, European Common Market. Now we are out of the EU, but still paying the tax.

Max Crisp The well known phrase here is “We’re all in the same boat” It isn’t usually a place you want to be. For example: If someone is grumbling about the state of the economy and having no money, then it is often used as a retort. Much like - “You’re not the only...

Max Crisp I’m with Judy on this! I haven’t listened to all 200 songs from your previous lists, but I’ve enjoyed the journey. I can only think of one song with Judy in the title, but I won’t blurt it out and spoil the fun.

Max Crisp You’ve got Bob Geldof to thank for that. When they were starving back in 1984, he raised millions to send food to Ethiopia, so this must be the result. I hear he’s doing it again this year, so some time in the future, you may get cutlery and even dessert....

Max Crisp I’ve never tried putting eggs straight into boiling water. It sounds a bit risky to me. I’ve always believed that fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older eggs. I’ve also had more success with eggs that have been steamed, rather than boiled. Another...
