What I thought was a picture of a steam pioneer was in fact a timelord. My wife said "It's not Watt, you know: it's Who, you know?"

I once met an Alien so I asked it why they are green and have weird round heads.
"We come in peas," it replied.
Who knew?

This Kinder egg is empty. No surprise there.

If I told you my crossword had the clue 'Royal Celebration (7)', would Jubilee fit?

I bought a novelty Wombles pepper mill recently.  It was rubbish. Everything is either over-ground or under-ground.

My friend suggested a boating holiday to help with my gambling & stealing addiction. I thought it was worth a punt, so I took it.

Despite people saying it could never be done, I've perfected a beer made from dead weasels. So, ferret ales really can come true.

That's when he really took a tern for the wurst.

Chocolate Biscuit Orientation

Yahoo Chocolate Biscuit News

You’ve been eating chocolate digestives wrong this whole time

What you are about to read may shock and alarm you.

Ground-breaking revelations coming from McVitie’s HQ today have knocked biscuit-eating as we know it on its head.

The company has confirmed that the chocolate layer is on the BOTTOM of the biscuit, not the top.

An inquisitive Redditor wrote to United Biscuits to confirm the widely-agreed composition of a biscuit (chocolate on top), but the reply was pretty shocking.


For your information, the biscuits go through a reservoir of chocolate which enrobes them so the chocolate is actually on the bottom of the biscuits and no on the top.

It was later confirmed with a spokesperson by the Independent:
The McVitie’s stamp is on the other side, which is the top of the biscuit.

You’ve been eating Digestives, Hobnobs, and Jaffa Cakes, among many others, the wrong way up.

We need some time to process this. Leave us be.


Independent (Newspaper) Chocolate Biscuit News

Chocolate Digestives revelation could change the face of biscuit eating forever

Shut the biscuit tin, defenestrate your cup of tea, this is serious snack news: you have been eating chocolate biscuits upside down.

Biscuits in fact have the chocolate on the bottom of the biscuit, not the top, McVitie's have confirmed, meaning Digestives, Hobnobs and more have a history of being eaten the wrong way up.

The news sent shockwaves across the UK's subreddit, after a user posted an email from United Biscuits explaining their composition.

"For your information," a spokesperson wrote, "the biscuits go through a reservoir of chocolate which enrobes them so the chocolate is actually on the bottom of the biscuits and not on the top."

Language And The Public

These extracts are all, purportedly, taken from letters received by the former Ministry of Pensions.  The Message is usually clear even if the presentation is somewhat distracting.

1 In accordance with your instructions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.

2 I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why this is?

3 Milk is wanted for my baby as the father is unable to supply it.

4 This is my eighth child. What are you going to do about it?

5 Mrs R has no clothes and has not had any for a year.  The clergy have been visiting her.

6 In reply to your letter.  I have already co-habited with your office.  So far without result.

7 I am forwarding my marriage certificate and two children, one of which is a mistake as you can see.

8 Sir, I am glad to report that my husband, reported missing, is now dead.

9 Unless I get my husband's money I shall be forced to lead an immortal life.

10 I am writing these lines for Mrs G who cannot herself write. She expects to be confined next week and can do with it.

11 I am sending you my marriage certificate and six children. I had seven and one died which was baptised on half a sheet of paper by the Rev Thomas.

12 Please find out if my husband is dead as the man I am now living with won't eat or do anything until he knows.

13 In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a little boy weighing 10 lbs. Is this satisfactory?
