Ah, I've worked out why teacakes are twittering now, but can anyone clarify why tambourines?

@EmbarrassingHadrosaurus That's a fab idea. Sounds delicious. You should definitely suggest that to them!

Enough4me · 27/10/2021 22:43

YYY @EmbarrassingHadrosaurus they sound lovely, ideally with dark chocolate.

@Enough4me

Tunnocks should capitalise on this. Perhaps sponsor women in women's sport, women in business or women only refuges.
Special edition Suffragette Teacakes? Blackberry, lime, and vanilla marshmallow fillings?

Locally Waitrose and Coop are sold out of Tunnocks Teacakes.

TW: parental neglect.

Turned out poor DD had never in her 10years had a Tunnock's teacake. Prompted by all this I bought her a box. Every time the poor urchin bites into one she says sadly, 'But why did I never know about these'.

New customer for life. She's still to try the caramel wafers. That's next week's shopping. Smile

Your anecdote is truly one of the very few occasions in life when

Repent MotherTunnock's

nearly makes decent sense. Grin

I'm adding Tunnocks to all food shops Grin

Scots nationalists tried to have tunnocks cancelled during indyref. Think sales increased. 😂

Thank you @FindTheTruth, I’m reading thru this thread and getting caught up. It’s been a busy weekend on Twitter.

I’m in the US, and Margaret Atwood is trending. Why is Maya Forstater referencing this?
TLDR: MA dared to tweet an article which upset the TRAs, she got vile abuse. MA then appeases the TRAs tweeting a video attacking JKR and Maya and a pseudo science article www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4379188-Margaret-Atwood

@WarriorN

I hadn't seen the film; hilarious.

But also worrying. I found those people intimidating. Standing with arms out in that way was v suffocating.

I think it makes it very obvious that it’s entirely different for a man to stand up to this than for women. He manages to do it while looking reasonably relaxed and maintaining humour and gentleness.

I’m very obnoxiously loud mouthed about this publicly at schools and so on, I find it easier to not apologise or justify my feelings than to worry about what anyone might think. But the idea of anyone physically facing off/controlling my space would be terrifying for me. And that’s before the very real risk of being shot in America once the weapon threat is yelled about.

I'm handing out tunnocks for Halloween. 🎃

Repent MotherTunnocks

I'm in stitches!

Rightsraptor · 24/10/2021 13:14

I'm thinking of naming my house 'Tunnocks'.

Enough4me · 24/10/2021 00:27

Tesco online groceries are down in many areas, I know it isn't really, but I'd love it if it's all the Tunnock purchases. I've set up an order for another store and added lots of Tunnocks to my order.

The funniest thing was Tambourine Person could be heard politely calling "Excuse me! Excuse me!" presumably as they were pushing through the crowd and then went all contorted face and "REPENT MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

The irony is that DC hilighted that exact behaviour when he was out at dinner
Approached DC
He was being filmed to see his reaction
DC engaged the ones filming
They called the cops

Here
The guy was counter-protesting in a really joke-on-you if you engage way
The netflix group moved in on him
He retreated the is physically accosted and has the sign destroyed
The yell weapon or "immediate threat to life here Security/Cops come with guns out please"

To get an idea of how dangerous it can be in a crowd the video below shows how the police respond to a call for a gun in a public park
