two weeks pass...

fine

― anthony, Wednesday, 3 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hello.

― Tom, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

its done
but nyplm ?

― anthony, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, hey Tom. How's today? I emailed you about how much I like hobnobs. I do not expect a reply.

― Sarah, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hobnobs are nice, though.

― Matt, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, aren't they? They really come into their own with a nice cup of tea.

― Sarah, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I always think chocolate hobnobs are an embarrassment of riches though.

― Pete, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I bought a packet of rich tea biscuits last week. I had forgotten how much I like them. A drink may or may not be too wet without one, but sometimes when one is dealing with biscuits, choosing simplicity pays dividends.

Tom, I haven't e-mailed you about anything, but would appreciate a reply anyway. I sent a text message yesterday which I guess you haven't picked up on account of telephonicular breakage. I do not expect or even want a reply.

My life remains a ruin.

― Tim, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

are y'all taking the piss.

― anthony, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not. I just like talking about biscuits. Tim is right about the rich tea thing. The hobnobs have now made me feel quite funny. Perhaps combining them with a lethal amount of rosemary/garlick/sea salt kettle chips is a bad idea. Yurgle.

― Sarah, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Summerfield's Rich Tea Biscuits are TERRIBLE. Avoid.

― Andrew L, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Furthermore it occurs to me that "a drink's too wet without one" is a cruel and unusual slogan to stick in a fellow's mind when he's desperately attempting to rehydrate and avert additional ruin.

― Tim, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

they shd move to lambeth and call themselves Edgy Tea Biscuits

― mark s, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i would be *hugely* surprised if there hadn't been a biscuit c/d/s/d thread yet. but put your hobnob to the side and recognise the Toffeepop as the only biscuit that really counts.

― nickie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think I've heard of that one. Hey, wait a minute, is the toffeepop the one about the same size and shape as a Rich Tea but with a shiny brownish layer on one side?

― MarkH, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that is a marmite-nutella cream, markH

― mark s, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NONONONO! The brown bit is actually *meant* to be there! It is attached as part of the manufacturing process, rather than being the result of some mentalist's gastro-perversion.

ps: it's kind of caramel-y.

― MarkH, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

huh! sarah i have emailed YOU (albeit yesterday) with an URGENT AND KEY QUESTION and yet you do not reply *sob* nah only joking i 'spect yore just busy. i have also emailed anthony! hurrah for me! (ps as any fule kno BOURBONS are the best bikkie evah)

― katie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I had dark chocolate ginger nuts the other day, they were very nice dunked.

― chris, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

dark chocolate ginger nuts. oh dear, dang perry to thread!

heh i just realised: BOURBONGS! num-ulous.

― katie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i also just realised: DUNKED ginger nuts! my he will go bananas!

― katie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Right, fuck this, I'm off to the shops to buy BISCUITS.

― Matt, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Possibly with CHOCOLATE

― Matt, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

markh you are otm. the bottom layer is an interesting shortbread-biscuit fusion and there is toffee on top and also chocolate.

i hate biscuits. bloody harpies of the food cupboard.

― nickie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ktee - I are not getting any email from you yesterday, methinks you might need to resend! Urgent and key questions I am good at! (I am v busy though but I always haf time to avoid wurk heh heh).

― Sarah, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ick. Dunking is a filthy habit.

― Emma, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

right Starry check yr yaWHOOP mail!

― katie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Emma, thou hast no soul.

― chris, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if you don't like dunking you can always just stir a dollop of marmite into yr cappuccino: TANGY!!

― mark s, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I may not have a soul but nor do I have a revolting sludge of dissolved biscuit lurking gloopily at the bottom of my teacup. This is reminding me of my horror of getting bean juice on my sausages / bacon / egg. Keep the wet foods and the dry foods apart (though I'm sure I could think of some exceptions if I tried hard enough).

― Emma, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ah, but my chocolate covered ginger nuts left no sludge, yet the chocolate melted ever so slightly = perfect dunking.

― chris, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

dunking is also effective lurgy deterrent. that's where you went wrong

― Alan T, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

BN BN!

― Graham, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If I wanted melted chocolate on my biscuits I would sit on them. Or something like that.

― Emma, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

b-b-b-b-but Emma, now you are talking madness!

and you would never sit on a choccie biccie would you? Shorely it would ruin your edgy fashion-wear, unless of course you were implying that you would be...... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

― chris, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I was envisaging the biscuit still being in its packet / wrapper. I hate melted chocolate on my biscuits, there is a time and a place for melted chocolate and it's not on biscuits.

(Oh yes which 'edgy fashion wear' are you on about?)

― Emma, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i know the rise in the use of "edgy" is largely ironic, etc, but does anyone else here associate it primarily with "nervous". i certainly was feeling v edgy on monday morning. oh and tuesday all day.

― Alan T, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Slightly off the biscuit topic. Tom I sent you focus group type things yesterday, but e-mail is truly buggered. I have no incomming mail at all, but outgoing seems to be working in bits. Net access also crap, took me five minutes to load this text only page, so I'm off again now.

(Standard hob nobs better, dunking rules, there's a difference between 'edgy' and 'fashion wear'.)

― Anna, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Abbey Crunch!

― jel --, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Intended to buy biscuits, instead have bought vodka. oh well.

― Matt, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Matt is a mang after my own heart. am now going to swing by sainburys on the way home for bourbons and pimms!

― katie, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Toffepops make me think of those ones in the Faraway Tree books... what were they called? Pop Biscuits? They tasted of toffee and exploded in your mouth. Being magic and that. Mmmmm magic sweetmeats.

― Archel, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

When come back, bring rye.

― Sam, Thursday, 4 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, bring rice
