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!

@SinnerBoy it's definitely cricket. There may be more than one species of mole cricket. You can see why the European mole cricket got its name though.

I don't know what's going on, I just miss Tunnocks because the only time I had them was when I was in Edinburgh (I am American) and I was in love. I could probably get some at World Market but I just don't think it would be the same.

Different species to the one I've seen, European mole cricket

Am I wrong? That was the closest to the picture online...

Yes, these were - I think - Two Spot Mole Crickets and have their wings folded back, uncovered. They're right little bruisers.

Mole crickets are awesome. They can fly?

That's an impressive array of creepy crawlers. Are you currently in a warm stretch of water?

We're between Faro and Portimao, hoping to get into port early. We're inundated with grasshoppers and a few mole crickets, they saw a whale earlier, I was asleep. We've had the odd bat, too.

SupportRobin someone over on the batshit therian thread has suggested that no-one identifies as a dung beetle

That's right, they prefer to be known as 'salted caramel truffles rolled in cocoa powder beetles' now. Their new name badges are huuuuuge...

There'll hardly be any room for the pronouns.

lcakethereforeIam · 08/08/2024 09:22

Are they staunch British insects going on their holidays or filthy immigrants trying to sneak into the country to take our jobs and marry our wimmin!?

If it's the latter, can I have dibs on the dragonfly?

Hmmm, are you the oracle?

Totally! But then I'm usually to be found on my back waving my legs in the air!

Don't you be telling everyone I stowed away on your boat.

They all look well fed at least, I trust they've found the catering quarters!

I found a great diving beetle on deck. He's very, very lost.

What happened to that thread, I read a bit of it (mountain wolf/dragon/summat else would make a spectacularly naff t-shirt)?

That thread was relatively 'don't worry too much, they'll grow out of it' until that utterly batshit self proclaimed therian came on.

SinnerBoy · 27/07/2024 16:29

Those beetles are very shiny!

Never mind the name I can't find my way out of this field!
