    Jelly Babies

    A jelly baby walks in to a bar and starts talking 2 a smartie.
    After a few beers the smartie says: 'A bunch of us r heading to that new club. Fancy tagging along?'
    'No thanks, 'the jelly baby replies. 'i'm a soft centre- I always end up getting my head kicked in.'
    'don’t worry, 'the smartie assures him. 'I'm a bit of a hard case I'll look after you.'
    'OK!' grins the jelly baby. so they go to the club.
    After a few beers, three lockets walk in. They take one look at the jelly baby and start beating him up, then walk off laughing.
    'I thought you were going to look after me! 'gasps the jelly baby, rubbing his bruises.
    I was, 'replies the smartie. But those lockets are flipping MENTHOL!!'

    Just want to ask, i want to get some of these for when i go to races, so i can hand them out, so, wheres the best place to buy them, would it be better if i seperately bag them up, or just have a bag handy?

    Was asked to hand jelly babies out for Sundays race, sadly this race i cannot attend, but in the future races to come, i just wondered...

    You expect me to give out pork pies or you prefer to be called a pork pie instead of a runner, mmm Skenn!

    I get them from supermarkets, quite often 3 for 2. Bags that is

    if handing them out at a race best bet is to open all packets in to an open box so they are easy to get to. esp if it's a shorter race. the runner will run past and grab a few. easy

    trouble is by the time you have dropped off the fell, queued up at Sainsburys and rejoined the race, everyone will be in the pub and packed up

    Has anybody got anything against using cheapo JB's rather than the expensive bassets.

    Because sainsburys do their own brand and you can get nearly three packets for the price of 1 expensive ones.
