Not a treat :(

[Chickenagain]

AIBU moaning about the biscuits? Do dark chocolate digestives count as a treat. After helping my boyfriend in the 'fun factory' he disappears off for some what I hope is 'chocolatey niceness' comes back with a pack of dark chocolate digestives as they were 'on special'. Not even a small packet - a GIANT - packet. They are sitting there on the desk, taunting me, pretending to be chocolatey when they are not.

Obviously I can't buy my own lovely biccies as I am on a STRICT DIET and only other people's biscuits contain zero calories.

AIBU to insist he gets what I like so I can indulge and remain guilt free?

BTW he didn't get the shite ones to 'support' me - cost was the only consideration!

I love dark chocolate digestives. The King of all the biscuits.

I love dark chocolate digestives. They're one of the only biscuits I like. On that basis YABU.

F*ck it

I want a biscuit

I've just had an apple.

And I say YABU. VVVVU. Not to mention vvvv spoiled and vvvv ungrateful. How can you be so cruel as to start a thread turning your nose up at Digestives (be they plain, dark or milk chocolate) when there are people like me who live in places where they are unobtainable or at least very difficult to find and very expensive if you do find some? People like you make me bloody sick.

Awwww, be nice to the OP! She might be a bit off the wall but it made me smile!

Send him out again. Dark chocolate is rank. Caramel digestives all the way.

That Co-op is far too close! Yes they were bargain Co-op biscuits!! I'm so glad the offer is ending tommorow - maybe I'll get a decent reward for my labour!

The Fun Factory is so called as it is a place of great joy, mirth and well, fun (not). Picture a huge industrial building with blokey toys - machines that go bang & swish & diddle & ping, servers that run continually slow (causing more fun & mirth) and the ceiling fan makes an irritating noise. House music is playing thump thump thump and I am squeezed into a little spot putting fiddly little things into tiny little holes in a certain pattern. There you have the fun factory !

Coming round to the Nutella/Philly idea.

Plain chocolate digestives and a mug of tea, I can eat six before drawing breath. Dunking obviously.

Uuuuuurgh bloody things! Even the dog won't touch 'em!

WTF? You are assuming that people know (or care) about the details of your life

I care. Deeply.

I still wish the answer had been hand job though.

Next boyfriend i have, i'm going to offer to help him with his fun factory and wink bigly and make a wank gesture. Or maybe just next guy i fancy in the pub. Or maybe in the lift.

I would have thrashed out the details of the reward before commencing work in the fun factory. Can you go to a union?

Could you crush them up and tiffinate them?

YABVU - dark chocolate digestives are the best biscuits ever!

He had the cheek to ask me earlier if I was right handed! How can he not know? So I demonstrated (mimed) right hand ...... left hand.... know he knows 👋👋👋

They're the best biscuits for dunking into really hot coffee (briefest of dunks with mouth ready at the rim of the cup).

What were you hoping he'd bring back?

Boyfriends with Fun Factories are great fun indeed and to be highly recommended. Off now to play with the Skil saw 😊.

Clopy I think 'wink bigly' is the best phrase I've ever heard. I'm going to do it to strangers tomorrow. Minus the wank hand gesture.

Dark chocolate is one of the best things ever invented.

Like an arcade?

YABU I love them and the thin versions which have zero guilt attached

Obviously I can't buy my own lovely biccies as I am on a STRICT DIET and only other people's biscuits contain zero calories
If you actually want to lose weight, stick to your diet and stop thinking about biscuits.

If you don't really care about your diet then eat what you like.

PCL - I have been given apples (which is what I asked for) but the are like frozen cider bricks :(

I was just hoping for a sugary appreciation - but you are quite right. I'll quit my grumbling and get on with my work 😇

'Fun factory' reminds me of the 'his little shirt' thread from a few weeks back

Dark chocolate digestives are passable. Maryland triple chocolate are the best. Can't eat anything gingery without thinking of morning sickness.

Good grief, humour transplant needed at CatLady's house, stat.

furryturnip i couldn't think how else to describe it without using about 12 words, so wink bigly was born. I'm quite proud of it actually.

I'm gonna wink bigly tomorrow too, will think about the wank gesture.

OP YABU. Dark Chocolate digestives are heavenly. I used to not be able to control myself when they were on offer. I don't eat them anymore as they are calorific and have a lo of salt in them, probably transfats too.
