I've very recently (last night) discovered Garibaldi biscuits, never tried them before in my life, they're a revelation, had to stop myself from eating the whole pack last night in one sitting.

Next week, Bourbons!!

Then a whole month of fig rolls.

As a teenager I wolfed down two packets of fig rolls in less than a quarter of an hour. I'm not sure I've ever eaten one again.

I do like a fig roll (or two).

I have a mate who calls everyone Bernard. No idea why - he does actually know people's correct names when push comes to shove - but it always amuses me.

I licked the icing off a full packet of iced coffee biscuits as a young lad. Must have been like sandpaper, made my tongue bleed.

Is his name Richard Curtis?

Nah, it isn't that, it's a Heffalump.

Depends which way up you hold it

Just been down to a new rifle club. Using its BSA Martini Inernational, I put 50 rounds down the range
and achieved very satisfactory results...

...with an unfamiliar gun...
...on my first shoot in about two months...
...on a new-to-me bench rest...
...at 25 yards...
...with iron sights!

only 17 more visits to lose my probationer status.

It's a small victory and very pleasing.

Using a really good pepper grinder. A lifetime of crap overpriced rubbish makes you appreciate when you get a good one. Peugeot make some of the best by the way - seriously, look it up.

Spending £30 on a pepper grinder because you read something from a random on the internet at about the time you decide your existing pepper grinder is rubbish and needs to be replaced and finding out that said random was actually not talking loblocks.
(Thanks Torques)

Listening to the Stone Roses full of rum is a wonderful way to spend an evening that really does please me more than it should!

is that an actual thing ?

surely imitating the genitalia of a female, [ or the genitalia of a man identifying as a female , phew, saved that just in time ]
is easier with skin folds, how can one possibly fashion a reasonable imitation of the testes ?

[Gallons Per Mile]

Unwrapping a Cadbury's Creme Egg and keeping the foil perfectly intact. Then flattening it out to make a nice flat rectangle of foil still with no rips.

Almost as much fun as the chocolate. How do you eat yours?

[rufmeister]

The cool side of the pillow.

Especially when it’s cooler than you expected. Lovely!

[RC1807]

Beaten to - cold side of the pillow.

Maybe because you can't consciously recall that you shat yourself?

(I do like a fig roll too, but since my wife doesn't, I can't recall eating them in more than 20 years... To be rectified on next Blighty trip.)

Last night: a trip to BK!

With care you can make the peel look like a stick figure with the bit that in the middle of the segments becomes his willy. A very pleasing thing to do well, especially in female company.

When you go to kfc, have a meal with chicken pieces in it and they’re all the good ones.

You peel one strip off around the middle about 2/3rds of the way round, then ease the two side bits off and bingo, you have either an elephant as mentioned, or turn it the other way round and you have a lighthouse standing proud with a big rock each side.

Very childish when you are 67 but very satisfying.
