I have seen it quoted on here for many years that Tunnocks are to be supported as they support women's rights. I have looked on their website and social media and can see nothing to support this rumour. Does anyone have any evidence? Thanks.

I sympathise. The box of six teacakes I bought.....yesterday? I had two. I've just put the empty box in the bin.

I don't want pretend Tunnocks on my tree. I don't want actual Tunnocks on my tree 'cos the tree would be undecorated in minutes. I really want a huge stash of Tunnocks where I know where they are and nobody else does. So call me selfish but do you really disagree?

So... Let me get this right, you want all the Tunnocks, BUT hidden Tunnocks, location unknown to anyone but yourself, close to where you can quickly stuff three in your mouth whilst other people are out of the room (slight add lib from my own lived experience). That's not selfish. That's Tunnocks addiction! I applaud your dedication to the Tunnocks!

I'm down to Two tea cakes, obviously I have other products available but I'm getting twitchy at the thought of tea cake withdrawal.

Liking the idea of Terf Tunnocks Tea cakes! Although I suppose you could make your own version with some tin foil and some sharpies! Oh and a ruler!

The solution is to buy many, many Tunnocks. Prépare half for the tree and keep half purely for eating. However many you put on the tree, have that number ready and waiting to replace them. Is it possible to buy in bulk from Tunnocks themselves? Alternatively have a large stash of edible Tunnocks next to the tree or in a locked chest nearby and have only fake ones on the tree.

Bad news on the craft front in that the caps are too small and won't fit the thread through. I'll keep looking.

Boiledbeetle · 14/08/2023 20:25

@CervixSampler you're on a bison aren't you 😁 or rather a mission, bloody autocorrect, but I quite like the image of you on a bison eating a tea cake!I

I need a shoulder massage so bad, but as the cats are set to receive mode only in that regard I shall just have to reward my hard days work with a caramel wafer!

Id forgotten how uncomfortable my desk chair is!

Was CervixSampler on a bison or on a buffalo?

What is the difference between a bison and a buffalo?

You can't wash your hands in a buffalo.

I'll get my coat.

Tunnocks Sisters

Rise up women!
Come one and all,
Come with your Tunnocks
Whether wafer or snowball
If a teacake's your thing
Then you must of course bring
A box or two, or three or four
And share them with your sisters as we march on tour
Fighting strong,
Marching long
Never wavering
From that sweet flavouring
We all do adore.

Flavour not flavouring that should say. Stupid autocorrect.

Tunnocks are definitely having their own chapter.

I'm out of tea cakes and the caramel wafers are a bit thin on the ground.

Still got a good few caramel logs and snowballs though!

Boiledbeetle · 15/08/2023 21:32

Oops, where are My manners! I really should ask before I pilfer your poem.

assumes best Paddington bear hard stare.

Can I put your poem in the book?

Obviously, big sigh, you CAN say no.

It's not advisable though! I'm prone to sulking!

😉😉😉

CervixSampler · 15/08/2023 21:41

Please do! I'd love to see it published. I used writing poetry to get through my teenage years. The Tunnocks is just a little ditty for fun. Rereading the word flavouring still goes as it rhymes with wavering so I'll stick to my original version.

Love the badge💚🤍💜

My nasty, sarky, tongue like a farrier's rasp me would say

Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.

Or, failing to plan is planning to fail.

The other me feels your pain.

Boiledbeetle · 15/08/2023 21:51

To be honest it's laziness.

The tea cakes were sat on a tin lid.

The caramel wafers are in the tin the tea cakes were sat on the lid of.

The caramel logs and the snowballs are in a tin under the tin with the caramel wafers in which had the tea cakes sat on the lid.

The merkin lady herself was enquiring earlier about the possibility of doing a live event with some of the poem writers.

Just putting that out there.

You heard it here first.

Literally. I haven't mentioned it on the actual UTDOD thread yet!

I'm trying to get this straight.

There is a tin that contains caramel logs and snowballs. On top this there is another tin which contains caramel wafers. Then there are teacakes on the lid of the caramel wafers tin.

That sounds pretty organised to me.

As it did to me! But try opening the tin with the caramel logs and snowballs without the tea cakes escaping! Its why i had to eat them first, then the caramel wafers! It was like playing buckaroo mixed with jenga and pick a sticks.

Of course it would have been less perilous if I hadn't tried opening the caramel log tin without removing anything above it!

CervixSampler · 15/08/2023 22:56

Merkin? I'm confused now.
