Page 15 | Tunnocks Thread 2

The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides. I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

My calendar has an events view that only shows the days when something is happening. It only shows about 6 weeks atm but sometimes reaches out to 2 months.

My calendar is on the wall in the kitchen! It's lucky if the page gets turned to the correct month before halfway through the actual month I'm in!

And Sinner you may be right! But i don't want to have to get good at it!!!

I found about 40 errors last night. Tonight 8!!! I'm hoping that's because there isn't anymore to find!!

A lot of them have been Word changing things to what it thought i wanted!!

I've just realised at some point someone on here is going to be sitting in a hospital appointment and when the consultant starts showing you his smooth legs you'll go "so this is where Boiled lives!"

I've now updated my Christmas gift manager app to the correct. My mum will not understand a lot of what's in the book but I feel she should have her own copy seeing as her daughter and granddaughter are to be "published political poets" and she can maybe have a little boast at Pilates about it. She probably won't but nevermind. It's a shame she's no longer in touch with her elevenerife friend because I'm pretty sure this is the one thing her daughter or granddaughter won't have done. My siblings will turn their noses up. The wankerchief won't know whether to be outraged and call social services or be privately proud that he's had poems written about him. It would both feed into his narcissism yet be a savage attack on the nice guy he thinks he is. How delicious is that!

TLDR: I can't wait!

Regarding proof reading, the more you do it, the better you'll get, like most things.

Good luck having Dr. Creepy Baldy-Legs dealt with.

Costs....

So if I'd done it in two books of 80 poems like the first book then I'd have had to sell each book for £8 (printing costs have increased since the first book came out) to get £2.50 profit on each. But it's one book so to get £5 profit for For Women Scotland the lowest I can sell it at is £13.50.

So technically you could look at it as a bargain as it's better than £16!

It's less than 8 and a half pence a poem!

Gritty tea cakes had better be a bad batch and not the new normal!

And shit I keep forgetting about the next scan, It's because it's on next month's calendar page!

I will phone about leg man at some point this week! I promise! The more i think about the whole appointment the more my brain goes you know that wasn't right!

Reward yourself with hopefully non-gritty teacakes when you’ve done it. I hope the next scan gives you answers to your pain.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 23/10/2023 20:25

Gritty is the problem with mine too. Hopefully a bad batch we both got.
I can’t wait for volume 2, I’ll get the Tunnocks in ready ( several times over as I will keep eating them)

CervixSampler · 23/10/2023 20:16

You're doing a grand job BB!

I'll work the extra page cost into my Christmas budget🎄 I might have to forgo caramel wafers to raise the funds. How much do you think the books will be? Just do I know how many caramel wafers I'll be missing 😁

Found it. It was started in May and about the caramel wafers. Consensus was that they have changed for the worse. I haven’t noticed other than one a few weeks ago that was soft. I will finish the ones we have this evening to check them. It was my teacakes that seem wrong, but I tested all the box so can’t continue testing those.

@Boiledbeetle please do complain about the consultant, there is no excuse for his behaviour. But I get it’s sometimes one thing too many to deal with.

My current lot of tea cakes are really odd. I'm only half way through but the five I've eaten so far have been really gritty in the biscuit base and the chocolate tastes wrong. It's not stopped me eating them mind!

I've just checked an old box against a new box and the ingredients whilst changing layout on the box are still reading as the same ingredients in the same order and%s

But the wafers aren't tasting right either.

I'm wondering if whilst using the same ingredients they've changed supplier of one of the ingredients.

That or my taste buds are wonky.

I will phone about leg man at some point this week! I promise! The more i think about the whole appointment the more my brain goes you know that wasn't right!

And I have just discovered a poem that I've got as written in 2024!!

There's a thread in chat about how Tunnocks don't taste the same. They e either changed the recipe or there's a faulty batch perhaps.

I hope they've just had quality issues and not changed the recipes!

I can't envisage a situation where anyone would wish to see the Consultant's legs during their consultation. That is so much the wrong way round. 😬

Did you ever watch "A Very Peculiar Practice"?

IcakethereforeIam · 23/10/2023 16:50

Amazon can take more of my money. It'll be worth it. More than worth it.

Take all the down time you need @Boiledbeetle

The leg thing erm.... it was sort of related to the conversation, but I still didn't want my consultant showing me and going on about his hairless legs and how they are hairless because he has an illness - Unsurprisingly I wanted to know what was wrong with me.

I still can't believe I have no fucking clue!

I'm sure him and his legs aren't going anywhere any time soon, I'll deal with it later in the week.

I meant to phone to day but have instead spent the day correcting all the fuck ups I found yesterday and then tearing my hair out with the bloody Amazon cover creator, which is the wankiest piece of shit ever!

so I have a cover, I have contents. I will have one last check through tonight and then have a nervous breakdown tomorrow, then give my head a wobble and myself a good talking to and then order the proof.

You do all realise don't you that a book with twice the amount of poems is going to cost more than the last one (Amazon charge by the page).

I've manged to get it down to 208 pages.

That's awful Boiledbeetle.

I finally found caramel wafers and thought they tasted a bit stale. I hope no one is tampering with our Tunnocks.

All the Tunnocks @Boiledbeetle

LarkLaane · 23/10/2023 10:02

That's truly shit about the consultant Boiled. Seriously creepy. If you are being encouraged by the nursing staff - then that's tip of the iceberg I reckon.
Get that form in, and ask for another consultant if possible.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 23/10/2023 08:52

Totally missing the point as usual, but why did he think you wanted to see his hairless legs? Was it in any way related to your appt? Or did he just whip them out and say “da da dah” whilst you were discussing something completely different? ( obv not expecting details of your illness here).

Now I’m worried about teacakes as I also thought mine were off yesterday. I hope it’s a bad batch and not a recipe change.

Blimey, if the nurses are proffering complaint forms to you, he must be seriously crap!

That was my thinking. They don't usually seek you out and beg you to take the details for pals, so I'm guessing they are really really sick of this guy

Why thank you!

Oh what lovely flowers!

And tea cakes that aren't off! Such joy!

I am famed in my family for being the person who if it can go wrong it will go wrong. So Friday didn't actually register as being that bad until a nurse caught me as i was leaving to give me a complaint leaflet and to tell me that two nurses were going to be complaining on my behalf and urged me to. I suspect there is issues with this guy that the nurses are rather sick of!

So you think that you're getting shit. The nurses think you're getting shit. You are probably getting shit.

Give some shit back. Nil Carborundum!

No. Had an appointment on Friday that was completely pointless (and i do mean completely pointless, it was like talking to a brick wall for all the use it bloody was, but he did show me his hairless legs! I do wish i was making this shit up but I'm honestly not! And this was the consultant! Pals at my local hospital will be so sick of me foning up going what the fuck??) and I was left none the wiser as to what is going on or what they found on the bloody CT scan in August. But they are doing another one 1st November. At this point I'm just going with it! At some point i might get a consultant who realised the patient is the purpose of his work and not an interruption of it!

So sorry for you. The app has decided that I can only use text so I I'm sending teacakes, snowballs, caramel wafers and caramel logs together with a seriously big bunch of flowers.
