off the biscuits (1 Viewer)

[Lefty Frizzell]

I remember Time bars and Bee Bars - so they're Irish.

Are you talking about Big Time bars?

You can get em in Kavanaghs on Georges Street. They're just as rock hard as i remember them and so deserve an old fashioned softening. Place one between the cheeks of your bum and start jogging towards Rathmines, when you hit Portobello bridge, remove, unwrap and enjoy.

I can get ye a big time bar, anyone who wants one.

GET IT IN YE.

Sorry.

Uh.

ETA: Actually, no, scratch that. They're not for general consumption, only for special occasions.

Sorry.

Why? Because I have "soft teeth", but mainly because I was feeling Owned by biscuits.

I have been owned by the nutella department of the Ferrero Corp since the age of 5, eating on average a jar a week. I need two more fillings. Feeling some pre-wedding portliness, I had a nutella-free month and now, two weeks later, I'm a little afraid to go back. Matter of time, though. Big jar sitting in the cupboard downstairs. I just know if I have one sandwich, I'll end up gorging on nowt else for a week. It's a conundrum.

seriously, old, you're thinner than 2 dimensional space. you're the thinnest person in the world. when they filed your marriage certificate you were in the folder as your own identification. you're so thin you make thin people look fat. you've got chronic skinnyness. you model for spaghetti manufacturers. there's so little room in your torso you have to keep your vital organs in a purse when you leave the house. you are bereft of girth.

that's all a bit lame, but dear god, don't complain of portliness when you're as thin as old (which, as stated earlier, is very thin).

 

[old]

It was the fear of portliness rather than the portliness itself, I'll grant you.

 

[Anthony]

still off them. Can't see myself going back. yet.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Chocolate burbons are terrific.

 

[Anthony]

sssshhhhhhhhhh

 

[nlgbbbblth]

good one Anthony.

I am slipping again...

back in the glory days of 97, the local londis had extended offers of four packets of marylands for a single quid. Not out of date or anything. Chunky, cheap genius. Very rare these days.

how is everybody getting on with this now? ive only bought a few packets since july and i dont really get the longing to buy them anymore but I know if i do buy them i'll still eat the lot in one go... I do eat the odd biscuit if theyre around, especially at home in my parents where theres always loads but i think ive broken the packet-a-day habit.

when I have a proper full time job where I actually get paid a proper wage I shall shop in M&S all the tme. Oh yes. I love everything in there, they even make their veggies look really good - and they taste damn nice too, best sugar snap peas ever!! And their organic grapes are yummy, and their chocolate, and their crisps, and they oh-so-bad 'all butter' shortbread....MMMM!

 

[sweetoblivion]

my best friend's mum always has M&S biscuits in the house. Everytime I go there (which is a lot), we have green tea and M&S biccies. Delish.

My mum always buys fairly crap biscuits at home though, thank god. It's my brother's chocolate bars for his lunch that I have to be careful around...
