CAN I HAVE A NICE CUP OF TEA AND A BANANA PLEASE NICEY? JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WOULDN'T BE BREAKING ANY RULES. |
Nicey replies: Of course, as you're pregnant you have a license to eat anything at any time and I'm sure biscuits will get a look in at some point.
When the Wife was pregnant with younger member of staff No 1, she had a big Spinach craving, and I was sent to get the only Spinach growing in the garden, a gnarly looking specimen which randomly had appeared from some compost placed under the privet bushes in the front garden. This was boiled up and she had it on toast, Hoorah! |

I should like to add my dissatisfaction at fruit teas to that of Penelope Reid. Fruit teas smell *amazing*, prompting you to ask the owner of the cup for a taste. However, they inevitably taste like they've been watered down with approximately three million parts water to one part fruit and, like a similarly diluted homeopathic remedy, totally fail to satisfy.
Yours, etc,

Nicey replies: Yes and I have just realised that I can use the 'fruit' and the 'tea' icon for this.

Fruit tea! whats the point of that then? my workplace canteen is only offering flavoured teas at the moment. They offer no caffeine or dunking possibilities, so how can these tepid ribena like offerings possibly share the nomenclature of the honest cuppa? Any ideas? I believe we should
implement tighter controls on the use of the word 'tea' in descriptions of warm water based beverages to avoid further torment.

Jacob's Mikado Review |
Ahh..fond memories. Maybe it's just me, but I used to eat Mikado biccies by scooping the jam out with my finger, then pulling off the marshmallow.
As for Iced Vovos (or Iced Volvos as my hubby used to call them) - they're a pale shadow - they're too flat & nowhere near spongey enough.
As for me, I'm a new Tim Tam addict, and have the suck down pat. And yes, they remind me of Penguins too - but has anyone tried the tea slurp through a Penguin yet? We need to be told.
I'm looking forward to a 2 week stay with my parents to relive my biccie fantasies very soon!

Hi there all at NCOTAASD.
I thought I'd let you know that one of my favourite bands, Delririous?, have put a page on their website devoted to tea and its usage to them in the recording studio.
For any tea and music lover, it's a great page!
Thanks
Dan Hames
