We're not ones for shying away from the serious issues, so this week we've been thinking about horses, and why they are a bit crap. Horses as everyone knows have largely been been redundant since the introduction of the internal combustion engine in 1894. They should have known they were up for retirement when James Watt started rating his new engines in horsepower. Up till then horses were gainfully employed by mankind for a few thousand years.



LOL

Oh yes. Here we go again.....

"The overlord of the Tea Cakes is the Tunnocks which registers a Victoria Plum, possibly a Clemetine on the fruit and nut scale of measurement, intimidating its Walnut sized competitors. While on the subject of competitors, they all seem to need intricate plastic trays to protect their puny chocolate shells, whilst the Tunnocks makes do with a bit of tin foil and cardboard box.


What really sets the Tunnocks apart from its Tea Cake brethren is its marshmallow which is based on egg white rather than gelatine. This gives it a consistency somewhere between shaving foam and bath sealant. The process that actually places this stuff on the biscuit base and then covers it in chocolate must be a miracle of biscuit engineering given the super sticky nature of the mallow. The fact that the Tea Cakes exist means that there isn't a machine somewhere Scotland buried under a mountain of proto-tea cake gunge.


Finally we must note that the Tunnocks contains no jam, which again I assume is a level of extra gunge that would push their manufacture into the realms of fantasy."

Scotlands biccies are hard as nails!

Being in the middle of reading the George Orwell anthology I find myself strangely fascinated by the fact that he apparently wrote an essay on brewing the perfect cup of tea.

By following links that don't have any mention of sexual stimulation?
