Trial by combat ! The unworthiness of your Bourbon shall be proven in the best of 3 HU games and the most revered Ginger Nut shall reign supreme once and for all.

I was in the process of discussing the biscuit discussion? between yourself and Mal.
As much as i like bourbon biscuits, i have to tell you of when i was a lad. I used to love sucking milk through a ginger bisuit.
Weird? maybe, but absolutely georgeous. Later on i contemplated trying to make a milky drink with a hint of ginger, but never got around to doing so. I think it would have gone down a treat in schools(Money maker). Well somebody has probably making something similar nowadays. There seems to be all flavours of everything.

Which brings me back to biscuits, and there are some very nice biccies today, but do you remember the likes of lemon puffs? Mmmm!! or the small biccies with cream and a little jam inside(can"t recall their name).

I can see this thread is for your hds up challenge, but you have awoken, dorment long forgotten childhood memories, and i can"t believe i am talking biscuits on a poker forum..Lmao.  But there you go, continue in your quest with Mal and may the best man win.

P.S. I can"t see how this will decide the tastiest biscuit though? Bit of a personal choice, as is how you decide to play your heads up match. G.L.

Don"t knock it until you"ve tried it Mr Moderator, and i was only 5 yrs old or so. I don"t remeber how it got started, but it was to die for. If that s mental, then bring on the men in white coats.

Lemon Puffs are still good, I may bring some to Dublin. Or better still some gingers and a glass of milk.(Cows milk is all I"ve tried, so i can"t say if it"s the best). I do recommend Mcvities though for the biccies.

The great biccy debate has raged for enternity, well a while now.....

You"re both wronger than a wrong thing.  The truth will be outed, like the bright blade of thunder, like an avalache of noise......

Hobb Nobbs are the best!


Great for dunking (just like the ginger nut)(or for sucking milk through)!

And you can eat a whole pack without feeling even a bit guilty about not sharing.

Others that get a notable mention are the gariboldi (spelling not my strong point)
The ever humble Rich Tea.  You can have a fun game whilst dunking them, seeing how long you can dunk without in breaking off into your cup.
And the Cow biscuits.  Which have different pictures of famous cows on them. (like
Cow-as-aki, Bull-dozer. To name but a few)



Which brings me back to biscuits, and there are some very nice biccies today, but do you remember the likes of lemon puffs? Mmmm!! or the small biccies with cream and a little jam inside(can"t recall their name).


Do you mean The Jammy Dodger. Yeah they"re not bad.

Biffa
Protector of Elkes,
Defender of Foxes
and all round good guy..... ;D


P.S.  You"ve got Lithium.....SHARE i say, share!!!!

.....They"re coming take me away haha.....

Ok, without wanting to share the obvious medication that biffa, Cyntaf, Mal and (especially) Bainn are on, I feel the need to join in the great biccie debate.

Choccie Hob Nobs and a pot of tea after a long bike ride is my idea of heaven (http://blondepoker.com/forum/Smileys/default/drool.gif) nothing else comes close.

Hobnobs, bloody HOBNOBS ! ? ! ? ! ? ?

How dare you even mention those ! They are pretenders to the crown of the Chocolate Digestive and are nothing more than the scrapings from the floor of the Alpen factory smeared with chocolate......

WoW!!!
          Who would"ve thought biscuits could start a war? Well war of words anyway. Yes Biffa rich tea dipped, and then 2 at once dipped, stronger? or heavier and therefore 2 lots of biccie in your drink.??? I"m sure you have experimented. just like the rest of us ;)
And no not Jammy dodgers although they were nice, but these were smaller and with a little cream in also.
I don"t fancy the Tim TAms, as i don"t like tea. Would be alright to try it with milk? Or a pint of Guinness? ;D :D ;D

I don"t want or need the lithium, i haven"t even got a cigarette lighter ::)

But me do"s want the precious YES!! me do"s!!

The best biscuit hands down for a cup of tea (or even for sucklin milk!).....GINGER NUT!!!....nuf said! we will accept no substitutes!

A close second would be some shortbread mmm, but with the guilt of extra calories and fat i just cant bring myself to eat them at the same rate!! "dont deny urself" "dont deny urself".....damn u temptin voice in my head........ ;D

which leads me to another question if its a biscuit and found in the biscuit aisle, why is it called shortBREAD  ???.....

Here Here Bainn, Jaffa cakes blow!

Shortbread is always a good dunker!

Choc Digestives are ok, but the new Yog Digestives are better! both really good dunkers especially if you dunk two at a time choc to choc (so that your fingers stay choc free, but it all melts between the layers.

I became aware of this thread in Dublin. I have spent 24 hours cogitating and inwardly digestive-ing as to my response. A biscuit thread. One of my specialities.

Let me first declare my obsession. The Sog. "What is The Sog" I hear you cry?

The Sog is that finely balanced judgement you have to make when drinking piping hot tea accompanied by a Rich Tea biscuit. Or Six.

Can you dunk said biscuit in the tea to the stage where it is very soggy, but not so soggy that it falls into said tea and becomes, quite frankly, a right bugger to extract without burning yourself and ruining said cup of tea?

I think I have mastered the Sog at 13 seconds. 15 is too many, 10 too few. Years of practice at the threat to my sylph-like figure has proven this to me.

Biscuits are a passion. From the cheeky chocolate covered varieties, where often only four fingers will do, to more savoury confections such as a nice classy shortbread, the sort of biscuit that was like my ex-wife...all to ready to turn its nose up at you if you treat it wrong.

Not a great fan of the garibaldi, as raisins should be neither seen or heard in a biscuit consistency.However most other biscuits will do.

Thank you very much to Bainn for his ginger nuts at the weekend, most delectable.

I am now off to find some Custard Creams. Which are definitely not Custard Cremes as often referred to in socially mobile circles, however mistakenly

Many thanks to Tighty for sharing his insight into "The Sog", a wonderous combination of skill and art that has taken many years for him to master. I can only hope to one day achieve the perfect "Sog".

I took 3rd through consumate skill and scary powers of perception, as to the David, the Ginger, He went out in 5th or 4th when I took him out with Jack Six. In my defence should he post on here, I did say at the time that "I sholud"nt really call".....

Hhhhmmm, I do seem to recall the event started with 4000 chips and not the 8000 mentioned by someone, so that made the price I was charging for the PACK of chewing gum at 7.50. I ain"t cheap you know.....

Hi Bainn, you took me out in 5th in the end. Was a throughly enjoyable tourny though and was good playing with you on the final table. In the end, the blinds were so high, my game totally disappeared as a result, and I think actually thinking about it, if you didnt put me on KK, which you couldnt possibly do, then the call was probably right in terms of pot odds.
Anyway, a hello to Billyho and g-idiot (is it graham or greame). Was great playing poker with you guys and Dave and charlie :P too, oh and of course having the most delicious steak in that little place near Temple Bar! Did you have a decent journey back home?

Aha, thanks for putting my mind at rest regarding where you went out and I enjoyed our chat and playing together on the final 2 tables. If you ask me nicely, I will let you know how I knew to put you under pressure when you had a marginal hand.....

Thinking about the Jack Six incident a little further, I was probably something like 47-48% against your unknown hand but as you say, odds likely said to call.

3, Showed you were a true Scotsman by retrieving and eating said Gum.



I never have, and never will be a student!

I just realised i didnt even wipe the chewing gum after picking it up. My breath smelled so bad that wiping was not even considered.

I went to the casino last night and had my 3rd bad hand in a row in tournement play. My top pair (10) was called all the way to the river for 7 bb"s in total for a runner runner flush :(

Good to meet those of you who were there in Dublin.

Have to say, this is a great thread!  

All the best folks!

Jaffa cakes-lovin Harmony  (tho" partial to Bainn"s Ginger Nuts...)


Apologies for my ignorance but are you the "Can I have your autograph" girl??? If so I was chatting to you both around the final table on Sunday but had to head downstairs as I was keeping time for the 30euro game blind levels. Was nice meeting you guys.  8)

Yeah, stupidly just figured that one out. Who was the girl from Manchetser who asked TK for his autograph? She then got ripped to pieces all of Saturday & a good part of Sunday as well  :D Rightly so!

PS I sent you an e-mail to g3lboy did you get it?

Yeah, I think u started that p*sh when I was dealing.

You were mucking hands that often I didn"t feel it worthwhile shoving the cards all the way to you. It was just taking longer for you to get them back to me.

I"m sure the table contained grease from your beard and it was stoppin the cards sliding all the way to you
