Actually it's not me, it's MN who ABU...

My fellow MNettes, I put it to you that they Mumsnet) are being thoroughly unreasonable.

Their crime?

To use a Jammy dodger (surely the Prince if not the King of biscuits) as a sign of annoyance.

Look at it... .
Imagine that lovely shortbread-y type biscuit with a lovely jammy centre. How can you not be happy thinking about it?

And they're not just a biscuit, oh no!
They've saved the world!

Oh yes, it's true!!!

The Darleks would have had us but for the self-sacrificing Jammy dodger mistaken for a self-destruct button.

Never has so much been owed to so few, in fact, one biscuit.

It's the favorite of millions, so why a "no comment" my friends?

No comment?

The Jammy dodger speaks loudly indeed.

For quality, for jamminess, for earth!

So why are Mumsnet running this dastardly campaign to do them down?

I put it to you my fellow friends.

Are Mumsnet being unreasonable?

In real life 'n' everythin' Suncottage.

(Doctor Who!)

mnabu, i put to you that bourbons are the shite of biscuits

the has been used too freely on too many bumsex threads for me to ever take it seriously again.

Or eat one.

I've been wondering why a biscuit is the symbol of no comment, have concluded it must be a way of telling the OP you're sitting eating biscuits rather than commenting on their inconsequential post.

LOL at the boob though!

Who should I write to thank them for saving my life (even though I missed it when they did) The Time Lord or the Head Baker at the Jammy Dodger factory?

I cannot undertand how this passed me by.

All Biscuits are great and whoever dared mention a Fig Roll conseder yourself spanked in a savage manner!

Why is it a Biscuit for no comment couldn't it be a Turd or something? I still really want a Cats Bum face smiley. :*

The no comment should be a raised palm as in 'talk to the hand cos the face ain't listening'

Check In Popular Culture Sun,

Surely a medal for going above and beyond the call of duty required!

a hand would have been better..i.e. "talk to the hand"

it's a sign of annoyance? oh shit...

It isn't a sign of annoyance, I got that wrong.

It is a booby though!

I bloody hate that biscuit.

I thought it was a doughnut

I think it looks like a flower

Summerhols - a doughnut with the jam on the outside???

I thought a Jammie Dodger was made with strawberry jam - why do they use plum?

Is there a reason for this?

[smirk]

Its a happy biscuit! Look at it - all yellow and red and sunshiney it brightens my day (until the dunked bit falls into my tea).

We need a more po-faced biscuit.

What does a whole packet mean?

I love a fig roll and I also dunk many rich teas in my tea.

The most boring, awful biscuit has to be the Hovis bread shaped thing you get in the selection tin thingy at Christmas. Bleurgh!

I think they're lovely with some cheese spread on.

Hecate, I was surprised to see that Morrisons actually sell them in whole packets

Blame Gordon Brown, he should of just answered the bloody question!!

Am surprised people are asking why MN use a biscuit for no comment...makes me feel like an old timer (preen emoticon) that I know why!
