I think Mumra is on the right track. It depends on the context. After football, no dinner because of too many beers, and needing a rapid snack the gluten-free custard creams I found in the cupboard really hit the spot. I thought they would taste like cardboard. On reflection I think Mrs Mac stocks them for our coeliac friends so I'd best replenish...JM

It is pointless I know, so apologies for bumping it, but.....


Barry, let me get this straight. You went for a chat, they asked you to bring biscuits, the chat became an interview and they offered you a job. They are now sending you photos of themselves eating the biscuits?! How do I get a job there? I know my biscuits!! [Not sure about jam and cream in a *Jammy* Doddger thought....]

Yes, that's exactly what happened. It's pretty sweet. If you know your biscuits, I can only recommend you touch base in the next month and plan for biscuit eating and tea drinking within the next three to secure a position there. From what I can tell, they're expanding.


p.s. My new boss told me he actually contacted the british biscuit appreciation society (or similar) to refine their list of biscuits for meetings, no joke. Go here The Alternative Contact Pageand click on the biccie booker. Please note I gained extra respect in my first message to them by pointing that in fact, a jaffa cake is not legally a biscuit. I just didn't want to start that argument earlier (thanks for bringing it up, SpadeTownBoy :-) )

probably a wise decision to go for the fingers rather than the regular ones,as depending on the size of your cup dunking the whole regular biscuit can sometimes be a problem requiring several goes,whereas the fingers are narrow enough to achieve whole dunking in one go. congratulations on your choice.

      Up the reform

      By diable rouge · Posted

      As with Brexit, everyone who votes for Reform isn't a racist, but I'm confident in saying that the vast majority of racists will vote for Reform, like they did with Brexit. So, anyone who considers themselves as non-racist but is considering or will vote for Reform, needs to ask themselves why is that the case? Why do you never hear Reform promoting equality/anti-racism? Instead, Farage is now copying Trump with anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) rhetoric. It can't be any clearer where Reform stands when it comes to such issues...

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      By Sue · Posted

      It was lucky nobody was on the bridge beneath the tree when it fell. It's hard to see, but it doesn't look like a whole tree, but a branch? Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? What seems to be the point where the branch (?) joined the tree - or else the point where the whole tree broke off - (on the bottom left of the picture) looks like quite a clean break. It couldn't have been deliberate, could it? Or has someone trimmed it after it fell? It's hard to see how this could have happened accidentally. It has been a bit windy, but surely not enough to cause this. Shouldn't there have been a risk assessment when the bridge was built, to include assessing the risk of nearby trees falling?
