... up to the fact that discussing footy on this footy messageboard only leads to chew...so I suggest we ditch the footy side completly and discuss anything but footy............................. :laugh:

Top ten chocolate biscuits anyone?

I can just see it now.......... " OK I have an opinion about biscuits ...so what? Look..I'm not complaining and I'm not saying that orange clubs are a bad biscuit, but we used to have Kit Kats and they were much better with a cup of tea, if not coffee. I'm not saying buying clubs is a mistake, but they aren't the sort of biscuits I'd have bought and believe we should have spent a bit more and proved our ambition by buying real cream cakes to show our intention to get in a proven piece of confectionery and do the business with a decent cup of tea. There are those who may be quite happy with a packet of Rich Tea, but this only shows how easily pleased some people are and if they expect me to renew my subscription to the tea kitty they're gonna have to bring in the biscuits I want...!!! Mind you, I think the orange clubs should be given a chance. :roll:

See how we can have nice conversatinos when we avoid the subject of Pools!

ps, do they still make curly wurlies? Not seen them in ages

chessington · **Posted:** Thu Jul 12, 2007 10:03 pm

spooky Grave, I was just going to say my absolutely favourite choccy bar as a kid was a curly wurly. You can still get them today (i know cos I still buy them, for the kids of course...................) but they used to be about a metre long now they're about 6 inches long :grin:

... they probably produce an 'healthy ' version from lentil grindings and coat them with organic Bulgarian goats chocolate...YUMMY :evil:

The Orange Club - King of biscuits clappp

poolpower · **Posted:** Fri Jul 13, 2007 9:43 am

but if Wilson gave the lads HOB NOBS with their morning coffee
would it improve performance
and are the new signings up to taking Classic Assorted biscuits after such a short time at the club
the rumour was that Braka was released was because he insisted on dipping his penguin into his coffee
ok i am going no more football talk

Compo · **Posted:** Fri Jul 13, 2007 10:12 am

And Waggon Wheels were actually the size of real waggon wheels they've reduced in size over the years so that you now need an electron microscope to see them.

Ooops! Am I being argumentative?

I've said this before but it bears repeating:

Take one cup of tea and one penguin (the choccy bic before you start). Bite off one corner, bite off corner diagonally opposite. Dip one corner in tea and suck hard (ooer missus) till the tea comes (titter ye not) through. Then, shove whole bic in your gob. bbolt

I can see how the caramel/toffee?

stuff in it would add a whole new dimension to the equation, especially with a king size one.

I will be experimenting with it soon.

These types of experiments and behaviours should be done behind closed doors in private places. Thankfully, if society continues in this direction, that will be the case within five years and anyone breaking the new biscuit laws will be jailed.
