That's just thick...

If you're the last person to post ever - how could anyone else be able to confirm or deny it?

or are you just talking about the last person to post, before this line of irrelevancy reaches it's zenith?

oh dear.... :-[

i think that might be the point.

Its a clever little thing called wit.  ;)




I'm still winning though  ;D

I have tried lime flavoured jaffa cakes actually, though can't remember what I thought of them.  I think they were better than the blackcurrent which were a bit of a disappointment really.  I think I came to the conclusion that Jaffa cakes need to be made from a citrus fruit which was why the lime ones weren't too bad.

Appearantly Terrys used to make a chocolate apple before their chocolate orange, and I think they even made a chocolate pear! 

I'm full of confectionary trivia you know, I have won the Cadbury's World World chocolate Quiz 3 years in a row.  Also whilst I am on a roll here Cadbury's Fudge used to carry the message 'Mr Fudge - he's such a loon!  He can often be seen running around cadbury's land firing fudge sticks out of his hosepipe'!  What kind of message is that for kids?

I think we can all learn a little something from that.

Sound advice for a better future.

I thought the reversed Jaffa Cake was the equivelent of the brace position you're told to adopt if you are in an aeroplane thats about to crash. The heroic last jaffa cake presents its cushioned underside to the outside world protecting its fragile chocolate shell. Of course this raises more questions than it answers, like 'How do they turn the last one over?' is it a special machine, or teams of little old ladies with gloves on? Is the last one a bit special, requiring grooming from before its a completed Jaffa cake, or is it selected at random, or is it actually every twelfth Jaffa Cake made.


what a website??!?!?

That website is causing me to lose what little power for rational thought i had left.

Why the feck am i reading about '100 year old ghost wants tea, cake and occaisonally biscuits' and thinking 'hmmm....thats interesting'?

I think I can answer that one.

It all hinges on the fact that we are British.  Us Britons love a nicely brewed cup of tea and therefore, everything relating to the 'world of tea'.

It's baffling how it can be approaching 100 degrees outside, but we still click on the kettle for the all important brew.  I am currently sweating from my eyes, but still enjoying a nice deep mug of tetleys (the tea, not the bitter... it's a little early for me).

observe the official stance on this from the Britsh Tea Council http://www.tea.co.uk/news.php?showItem=174

'In hot weather tea refreshes you by gently raising the body temperature momentarily, causing mild perspiration, which cools the skin.  This is why in India, where temperatures are currently between 38C and 40C, people are queuing up to enjoy a refreshing drink of tea!'

My dad has always said this and will not hear anything against it.

Fortunately my mother is a doctor and she knows the scientific laws that govern body temperature.  As a result she has taught me that the best way to keep cool in the hot wheather is to wear as many clothes as you can (to keep the hot out), and to drink lots of beer (because it is cold).  It is also very important to wear black clothes because the sun can't see black.

It has never seemed to work for me though  :-\

You do not want to get on the wrong side of the British Tea Council.

Think yourself lucky, some bastard appears to have stuck a dead pigeon in my recycling bin.

Which would indicate that someone has been walking around with a dead pigeon trying to find somewhere to put it, odd. :-\

'The Giant Jaffa Cake has a long history; McVities once went up against the Taxman to prove that the Jaffa was a cake and not a biscuit, and therefore exempt from luxuries tax. To prove their point, they baked a giant Jaffa, and showed it to the jury, arguing that if this was a cake, why wasn’t a normal sized one?'

WHY DO I CARE?

OH GOD! why am i reading this nonsense and actually caring?

Sorry mate.

I appear to have won this competition without even trying. I was about to post a message of congratulations and accidently slipped into 1st place at the final second.  :)

But all is not lost, you win second prize which is a very very broken Imac that smokes when booted. (collection to be organised by yourself)

Well done  ;D
