Page 9 | 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!

Proof of my disloyalty! I will say they seem to have shrunk considerably, they must have a i was forced to eat 3! and the mint bit is now tiny.

Happy new year everyone, I know I’m slightly late to the party with that one! Loving your sampler boiledbeetle, a very good looking beetle there.
Dull mens club over on fb were discussing viscount biscuits yesterday and quickly got on to how good Tunnocks are. So they must all be secret terfy mumsnetters. I am dull but not a man.

Bizarrely I have been forced to eat Viscounts this week as the Caramel wafers didn't arrive

How big is it, Boiledbeetle ? I'm trying to work out if it's badge sized, or a normal sized sampler.

130mm diameter

That's lovely. I'm a bit jelly.

Who was it who said that God had an inordinate fondness for beetles? Well, he's only human 😃

JBS Haldane apparently. Not JS Haldane as I initially misremembered, cos that's his Dad.

That's brilliant. A very special present made with love and humour. 😍

I wish to show off a christmas present that was made for me (and has only just arrived), but in truth it only makes sense on here... it's even in suffragette colours.

I will not be eating Tunnocks anywhere near it!!

Always wondered where the tiny voices saying ‘ eat me, eat me’ came from. It bought it was lack of self control but clearly not!!!
off to the shops and avoiding the tea cake isles ….

Merkins aside, just posting to say the new years diet is 12 days late . Have needed to wait until the massive supply of gifted tea cakes has been gobbled up as have no self control.
Starting diet tomorrow after having just eaten the last 3 I had in one sitting.
Going to have to abstain from the new addiction for a bit.
Is there such a thing as ‘ Tea cake withdrawal symptoms’?
… Am starting already imagining pacing in and out of the kitchen and being obsessive in searching of any hidden at back of cupboards….
happy 2024 fellow TC lovers ❤️

Psst.... Fancy a tea cake? Go on, dive in!

Only just over 8 hours into your diet and already temptation beckons!

God I'm an evil cow!

I'll have to bow to your greater knowledge @SinnerBoy 😁

It's just for Xmas.

I didn't think that merkins were typically vajazzled?

Okay, I think this was the thread I promised to post my festive merkin on. Sorry about the delay, I actually lost it. I thought I'd found it in the bath, but it turned out to be a spider 😨 Then I had a proper look on the tree and there it was 🎄 😀 I'm not sure about the baubles, they look a bit like boils.

At least they go knowing their sacrifice was in the noble cause of converting the innocent! Whereas most just lose their lives because people are addicted to the little sods!
