it's a sad day when 20-somethings resort to Meals On Wheels .....

Thank fuck I'm 30. I can assume you're speaking about someone else.

Honestly, holly.

I can understand people paying you to lounge around in your pyjamas all day, but I thought there would be a little more to it than that.

Also may I point out saying the name aloud makes me feel a bit strange, but the food is good and he is a nice man so I don't mind.

haha... oh that's perfectly okay then

actually, i think this is a really good idea

i wish i lived in Collingwood again....

This Herbie bloke.

Does he have a proper food premises? Or does he just whip up a batch of whatever in his shed, where a family of cats live, at home?

wow what an idea

everything is made fresh in his car

But WHAT a car.

No, I don't know. He has a kitchen in Thornbury. It's all vegetarian stuff, and fucking goodly cheap.

how's he managing to do it so cheap?

i wonder how long it will be before he has to put his prices up in order to survive...

You want some brake fluid with that?

I was gonna start a business a while ago called "Barbie in a Box"

Where you got everything you needed for an instant Barbecue delivered to your door, including beer.

Except, I don't have a car.

I have no idea shygirl. I'm just trying to get in on the ground floor so that when he puts his prices up I'll be able to throw a public fit.

beep beep!

lunch is ready.

Economy of scale, shygirl, he probably does shitloads at once.

and he'll give you a special deal hollyc cos you were one of his original customers

b a n a n a s

even so modi, 5 bucks is damn pretty cheap for good home-delivered food

For a single trip, yes, but he's probably doing more like a paper route than a single pizza delivery

nah, indicators more the latter, ie it may be back one day.

he's busy driving around the city right now.

Aw, that's sad. Why for that?

WHY FOR!

i know i wasn't getting herbies these days, but still, the love was there

But why, you ask? (Or maybe not).

The impetus of our first year of trading which gave me the confidence to expand our operation (and increase our overheads) at the start of this year hasn't continued.

as far as i can figure

herbie has a few customers ... they all tell their friends, gets mentioned on forums, big boom

rents big new kitchen, hires new chef, stuff for future growth

future growth never happens, hits plateau

can't sustain
bzzt

sad

Ah. That sucks.

Sorry, herbie.

horse hit it on the head; well done, son :)

thanks for the support and commiseration, y'all

um, seems quite a few people are going to miss the Big H experience. like I say, there may come a time... but really, M_H said it all before

sad but true

sniff

btw mad props to the graphic anon - and it's Herbie's vintage too :) he he he

• bust it! -

im really sorry herbie, thats really sad :( all the best in your future endeavors

ha ha ha lmfao anon! when did you raid my cd collection?

shoulda done a mix CD herbie.

Come back Herbie!!

so, from what i can tell Herbie went out of business and it was basically HollyC's fault.
am i wrong?

ha!

i think he's on facebook, ask and find out.

she made herbie too popular and he couldn't cope.

i wish herbie was back in busness, i'm in a position to actually eat herbies now!

Maybe Herbie should partner up with the Tiffin guys.

hmmmm
