The first time dunker
4 August 2009When entering into the exciting world of biscuit dunking it is important to build yourself up gradually. Start with soft, absorbant biscuits engineered specifically for dunking, the rich tea is an obvious choice, progress through the hob nob. I had a friend once, virgin dunker by the name of Norman and his first time was with a ginger snap. Big mistake. [...]
The puzzle box
30 July 2009Okay imagine the scene. You find yourself in a room with a box. A sinister voice says “open the box”. Inside you see a biscuit. The voice says “If you eat this, then a random stranger will die” Do you eat the biscuit?It would be hard not to, I suppose. Unless it was a pink [...]
Its the dog’s biscuits!
30 July 2009So there I was at the Kelvingrove Art Galleries, trying to steal money from the donations box. When challenged, I simply said it was conceptual art and got a ripple of applause. So afterwards I was ready to be replenished by the world of biscuit. But I had none on me. Outside I saw a [...]
The parable of the eroded pink wafer
23 July 2009As you know, when you are a guest at someone’s house it is standard etiqette to eat at least one of the scabby pink wafers from the biscuit tin, (to avoid accusiations of being a choco-hogger)then with clear conscience, one can munch of the chocolate tempties. However I recall one of the worst moments of [...]
Philosophy and biscuits is back!
6 July 2009So, after a massive screw up from our hosting company back in March, I’m delighted to say that philosophy and biscuits is back! Apologies that it has been down for so long, I have been busy researching new and exciting biscuits for review, some with chocolate, some even with jam. Currently however I am munching [...]
What Constitutes A Biscuit?
5 October 2007Myself and my associates have had many a debate over what exactly constitutes a biscuit (see this post). We all know the grey areas, i.e. Kit Kats, Twixes etc, but opinion is always varied and a concensus never reached. The excellent Nicecupofteandasitdown.com makes a decent attempt at exploring the taxonomy of biscuits, however, it does make the controversial [...]
Drinking On A School Night
5 October 2007Myself and The German overindulged somewhat last night and are suffering the consequences this morning. Drinking on a school night is never advisable. Started the day with a trip to the local van for a roll and sausage and egg. The girl that served me looked a little like Nelly Furtado. When I say a [...]
Return of the Wispa
3 October 2007Chocolate lovers may be aware that Cadbury have bowed to pressure from the internet community and have relaunched the Wispa bar, which disappeared from our shelves 4 years ago. The Wispa was first introduced as a trial bar in 1981 and proved to be highly successul, prompting a full national release in 1983. It was Cadbury’s answer to Nestle’s [...]
It’s Your Turn To Make The Tea
2 October 2007We take our tea breaks very seriously in Thin Denim. After all, your brain needs a rest from the hard work of cracking one liners, avoiding phone calls and creating funny photoshops. Until recently we had countless arguments over whose turn it was to make the teas (or coffees). That is until the ingenious Tea [...]
Lionel Richtea
27 September 2007I still think this is one of the best uses of Photoshop ever. Sad to hear of the passing of famous mime artist Marcel Marceau this week. Apparently there are plans to honour him with a minutes noise…
