Hi there!
We're replying to the e.mail from Julie hardcastle about the coloured biscuits from the seventies.
We also remember these biccies very well. They used to have a sticker with them, or a rice paper monster design on the biscuits themselves. they were definately monster themed. However (and its a big however!) I also for the life of me cannot remember the name of them!
There must be someone out there that does! |

Esteemed Mr Nicey,
People lying on a table, with biscuits placed on and around them? And where else? There are special websites for people who get their kicks from that sort of thing. You have to be over 18, of course. Keep it decent, Mr Nicey! Please don't go any further than the navel, which is of course the place into which one sweeps one's crumbs afterwards.
Yours very respectfully,
Brian Barratt |

Hi Nicey
A colleague informs me that when she went to Sorrento last year all the tea (and she sampled several pots in different establishments) tasted like fish. I have never been to Italy myself, but perhaps others have experienced this phenomenon while holidaying there?
Loving your work

Nicey replies: Oh how I wish I had a fish icon. |

Dear Nicey and the Wife,
A friend of mine recently persuaded me to attend a crystal healing session. This basically consists of lying flat on a table while crystals are placed at various strategic points on and around the body. I am not convinced of the healing properties of crystals and wondered whether using biscuits instead would make for a less intimidating experience.
I would suggest using digestives to "ground" the energies since these are practical, robust and (according to the original claims) have a beneficial effect on the digestive system.
I am given to understand that colour plays a major part in the process and therefore iced gems would be the obvious choice for opening the chakras.
Are there any "biscuit spiritualists" out there who can shed any more light on the subject?

I am hoping that you can settle a discussion that I have been having with a work colleague on the subject of chocolate biscuits.
I am of the view that chocolate biscuits should be stored in the fridge in order that they do not melt, particularly in the current hot weather. However my colleague says this is wrong as biscuits stored in this way taste of 'cold', whatever this means.
My personal belief is that my colleague is from another planet, however I have no proof of this.
p.s. Great website
Regards,

Nicey replies: Lee,
Well I think there is something in both points of view. Personally I would say the chilling the biscuits will affect their flavour, with it being diminished somewhat. However, I don't much care for limp on the verge of melting biscuits. So yes keep them in the fridge in the summer, but allow them to warm a little before eating so that the flavour can be appreciated.
If your colleague is from another planet then he will most likely have a very different appearance, perhaps extra limbs and he may not be bilaterally symmetrical favouring some higher order of symmetry such as the five fold symmetry of the Echinoderms such as starfish and sea-urchins. His body chemistry may also be very different requiring him to breathe a mixture of gases that would be toxic to us. His eyes may be sensitive to parts of the spectrum we can't see like the ultra violet. He may also be adapted for life in a gravity field that is weaker or stronger than that which we are used to, with a short stocky build or long graceful but brittle bones. Does any of this ring true? |
