Dunking? Fig Rolls? I...I...I...but...but...it's...I...

Please DON'T tell me what you dunk them in; I've had enough shocks to my system for one day!

[Nice ferrit magik, BTW - you must be a natural. Loved the puppy! ]

This is getting ugly , so I'm going to make it uglier.

Jaffas cakes are just tax dodging biscuits

Ferrit magic is how to insert the URL and instead of the stupid address you can write your own message I had

been trying to work out how people did that for ages.

I'm on the biscuit side of the jaffa cake, but I wouldn't condemn someone who thought of them more as a cake. The fig roll on the other hand is 100% biscuit, there can be no debate.

If it goes soft when stale, its a biscuit. If it goes hard when stale, its a cake.

Fig rolls are cakes

People who leave cakes or biscuits to go stale should be guillotined.

I wouldn't be seen dead being executed by such an unpatriotic mechanism, whatever my crimes against British biscuitry!

I'll have you know that us Yorkshire folk are quite capable of constructing our own neck-chopping equipment without any help from those dastardly foreigners (who probably stole the idea from us, anyway). Behold...

The Halifax Gibbet


They didn't used to muck about when it came to things like that up here - as immortalised in the medieval Thieves (or Beggars) Litany...

"From Hell, Hull, and Halifax may the good Lord Deliver Us!"

The best I could think up of Welsh torture is picketing as Sir Thomas Picton liked to do it , or possibly watching the Welsh football team

Yes, I see what you mean, they do rather take the fun out of participating in the torment of the condemned, don't they? A Halifax execution was a grand day out for the whole family. They even used to throw the rope that dropped the blade out into the crowd, so that no-one had to miss out on having a go at lopping someone's head off - even the farm animals used to get a turn!* I fear we'll never see that kind of community spirit and collective responsibility again in Britain, what with ... mumble, mumble, ... youngsters these days... moan, moan, moan, ... "anti-social media" as I like to call it, hahaha ... mumble ... harumph, harumph, ...

Honestly, I've spent far too much time on Wikipedia pages about old-fashioned ways of being incredibly nasty to people!

[*: sarcastically put, but all documented. Steal a sheep, and you got executed by a sheep!]

Well, everything's going to plan here. I stayed up all night so that I could start bang on midnight and pace myself more easily, and it's now about half-six in the morning and I've just opened my twenty-fourth packet of HobNobs. I'm looking good for the full body-weight this year I think!

Happy Eat Your Weight In Biscuits Day Everyone!

Unless this counts as a lawn (it probably doesn't).

Well done Trog, I'm beginning now.

IMPORTANT QUESTION our weight in biscuits before we start or should we match the weight we are towards the

end of today (there's going to be a dif after all those biscuits)?

I think it should be the latter. I am going to need more biscuits.

Happy Eat Your Weight In Biscuits Day Everyone.

Important question...

Is this eat your weight in biscuits thing pre-dunk or post- dunk? Clearly post-dunk affects the biscuit weight. Unless there are heathens on here who don't dunk at all.

I failed I have no biscuity food in the house and can't face leaving the house.

Special day at my work today so they have laid on cakes, pizza etc.

I feel like I have stretched my stomach and it will never go back to normal!
