Originally posted by Indonesia PhilAs an ambassador for the biscuit capital of the world, you have a duty to set a good example.
Actually I have some experience in dunking, when in the UK it was Digestives, [2 seconds or less or there is danger of the biscuit falling in] but we can't buy them over here. Civilisation as we know it has yet to reach these parts, we are indeed pioneers in the matter of biscuits.
May I suggest you start the lads off over there with perhaps a malted milk biscuit?
It is probably best not to go in with the hard stuff initially (a chocolate hob nob or the like), give them time to understand and come to terms with the way of the biscuit.
Under no circumstances should you mention sponge cake.
Good luck.

Originally posted by Indonesia PhilMy dream is that the British Empire will soon retake the world and re-establish its colonies once the über biscuit has been completed.
You ask a lot, sir, but I will try to rise to the challenge. After all, was the British Empire not founded largely on the biscuit?
A biscuit of such devastating tasyness that the slightest site of an empty packet alone is enough to strike fear in those that happen across it.
As for your quest, did John McClane ever whinge about the tasks he was faced with?
Keep your nerve man!!!!!11

Originally posted by Indonesia PhilAre you able to source Jaffa cakes over there without too much trouble, or do you have to "air drop" them in?
I have long thought that the biscuit will be the next WMD, hitherto nobody has agreed with me. As regards my quest, I will hold true to my task and will not waver in the face of the wealders [how do you spell wealders?] of lesser biscuits. Man the tins!

Jaffa Cakes?? You jest, sir. We must deny ourselves many such pleasures in order to live in paradise. Which is ironic, really. Crumpets, there's another one, I haven't eaten a crumpet in years......
What do they have for afternoon Sunday tea if there are no crumpets???
Do you want me to nick a moped and get some urgently needed rations over there?
We have a Co-Op that is open until 12 tonight on the corner and I am pretty sure I saw some crumpets on the shelf earlier.

Never tried making crumpets, they wouldn't be the same anyway. Or Jaffa cakes for that matter. I make the best cheese scones in Indonesia, but we are moving into the savoury here. By the way Indonesians don't take afternoon tea, poor blighters.
OTOH, the British don't know the delight that is a good sambal (Simon Rimmer, that means you, damn you!).

Do it in plain site and stop what ever it is your are doing (unless it is brain surgery, then give it 5 minutes).
Have they even heard of extreme ironing?
