Dear Nicey,
What a fantastic video that was, contributed by you readers Nick and Tom, I think the Top Trumps are an excellent idea long overdue, and the mix of psychedelic visuals and the cheery, funky tune will keep us smiling for days to come. However I was distressed to note one dangerously disturbing part of the video seemed to be encouraging the practice of allowing the teabag and milk to cohabit within the same cup at the same time. At best this sort of display should be accompanied by a strongly worded warning and at worst it should be outlawed, punishable by enforced arrowroot biscuits for week.
Whilst a largely liberal person, I think we can all agree that there is a limit, and when that limit is crossed we must all don our grumpy hats, and write grumbly letters to the relevant powers-that-be, be they MP's, Terry-Wogan, or in the case of biscuits, your good selves.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew. |
Nicey replies: Very quietly
Yes the Wife does that from time to time, and its all a bit wrong. It also makes a really repulsive sort protoplasm slime at the bottom of our teabag-bin. |

Nicey,
Possibly a little away from the mission statement, but a debate has sparked off in the office regarding the proper topping (if any) for crumpets - namely, sweet or savoury?. Responses thus far include:
Sweet - jam or honey
Savoury - butter
Savoury - cheese
No topping
Crumpets are evil
Anything up to and including a full egg and bacon crumpet sandwich.
Your views or those of the NCOTAASD community would be most valued.
As ever, you humble servant.

Nicey replies: Here at NCOTAASD HQ it is butter, or butter + jam, or butter + peanut butter.
I find the 'nothing' troubling, and possibly in contravention of a crumpet's basic rights.
Sounds like a poll. |

 Foxs Party Rings Review |
Nicey, Wifey and all at NCOTAASD,
I was recently at UWIC University attending a UCAS convention, picking up information on universities and the like, everyone was handing out prospectuses, so off we went collecting them when we walked passed Essex university stand. Now I had not previously considered Essex University, but I could not help picking up a prospectus when I saw it. I brought it home eager to show the staff at NCOTAASD. I am sure you will appreciate the prospectus and despite not having read the prospectus, myself and others are now considering Essex University for our education based on their dedication to Party Rings.

Dear Nicey, I have recently tried some "free from" biscuits - alas I have a gluten allergy - and found them to be so obnoxious that I have opted for a measured intake of the real thing and stomach ache afterwards, rather than these imposter peculiarly powdery confections which actually fizz in the mouth as if they contained explosive sherbert. Also - Some of your lady consumers might like to try the following as a remedy to a crap nite out. On arriving home, make a cup of tea, put your handbag on the floor and go into a biscuit frenzy around your handbag. This is the Biscotheque and with the right music of your choice, it really does rock.

Nicey replies: Betty,
Several problems here. First we don't sell biscuits we just review them. Second it appears from your mail and your desired biscuit that you visited Germany, and we are based in the UK. Good luck with your quest, perhaps if you have the wrappers left you can contact whoever makes them and see if they have a US importer. |
