Subject: Hobnobs v Digestives

both office golf and office rowing are excellent. Coxed fours are particularly good.

I agree they are very versatile around the office... as door stops, drinks mats, frisbies, draught excluders, window wedges (in warmer weather)... just not for eating!

Golf, football, cricket and tennis are in there. Tennis can develop into a tedium of let plays, too close to monitor, window, wall, chair etc.

Rowing, hmm, not in there yet. I don't think we have the office space here for that, need an open plan modern office I feel.

No way in could stand a full cup of tea for long in enough to justify being called a 'drink mat'. A CD is perfectly good but biscuit, nope.

Are you friggin serious, window prop. Your hobnobs superglued together?, Ah maybe thats why you don't like the taste?

Warm weather, right, that was them couple of days we had last week. What use is a window prop the other 363 days of the year?

I'm from Aberdeen. its June and we had hail a few days ago.

I personally don't like warm weather, I reckon thats cuz Im not used to it cuz we don't get much. Our Aussie in the office has an artificial daylight lamp to avoid slipping into deep weather related depressions.

yes, you are right, you do need a bit of space...

this sort of thing
2009-06-09 12:50:19
Yep, I had that same clip in mind when you mentioned the rowing. Quite dull rowing though, not very interactive. Kinda of a do it once sort of thing.

the window prop option is more for our continental cousins, or when that global warming malarky finally delivers a warm summer here in blighty...

You never know. I'm from Yorkshire, but was in Edinburgh for the Marathon 2 weekends back. I actually got sunburnt in Scotland - surely an oxymoron :)

Looking back at the digestive pic, does look rather bland. But this should be judged on taste, and both these biscuits are fine, in a bland, reminiscent baby rusk kinda way.
2009-06-09 12:57:26
Now hang on a minute, you can't start comparing these poor-excuses-for-biscuits to baby rusks - Farley's Rusks would win this biscuit WC hands down.
2009-06-09 12:59:25
Are you 2 years old?
2009-06-09 13:04:59
No, I'm nearly 4 ;)

Anyway, what's wrong with rusks?

I didn't say I still ate them, just that imo (from memory) they're far superior to most of the biscuits on offer here.

Im guessing your more of a cake lover than a biscuit lover.

I prefer my biscuits to conform to the original concept. When you start adding fancy cream, jam, too much frilly bits. Then your not a cake but your certainly mimicking a cake. Thats wrong in my book (not that I have one). But if I did it be in there on the wrong list. In should be outlawed.

When is a biscuit a cake, when its a jaffa. No I know there is law determining what is biscuit, what is cake. Im not attempting to stir up that eggy, flourly, vat mess. Its got a certain air percentage, blah blah.

Biscuits should not have fancy ingredients, they should be simple creations. Cakes, go to town, do what you like, its a cake, meant to be fancy. Now a fancy piece...

True, you can't really go wrong with cake and fine wine...

Ponce. Perfumed ponce!
