I ordered a watch, with a package arriving this morning.

Having opened the box this afternoon it had been badly taped-up, with an empty watch box inside and no watch

Now on the phone to Skagen / Fossil and we'll see if they can track it through UPS, who were the delivery company.

Oi, where's mine, then?

I guess you ate the other one in the box, I suppose...

I tried to trebuchet a Cream Horn once... It ended in tears.. And a mess!

So *that's* why the girls were helping themselves to the cream they found...

Oh. That's not good. Hope you can get it sorted pdq.

Had a chicken, bacon & sweetcorn sandwich (wholemeal bread) for luncheon, along with a banana, a pear and two

@Grant Fondo 's beef sandwich sounds good too. Maybe with a dab of mustard or horseradish to go with it... And yeah, there's nowt wrong with leftovers - sometimes they're better than the main event.

If you can’t manage Cream Horns don’t even attempt Vanilla Slices or Chocolate Eclairs You need a degree in advanced munching

As does raspberry turnovers, neither of us can eat one of those without making a mess, the same with apple turnovers, the trick with these seems to be putting them in a dish and covering them with custard.

Vanilla or cream slices...

Twist the top layer off and put it upside down on the plate. Then take a cake fork and eat the bottom layer. Set the cake fork aside, pick up the top layer with your fingers and scarf it.



Maybe I should see the results of letting you lot loose on my giant profiteroles...

reminds me of a "lobster tail" ice cream sandwich, they sell around here. basically ice cream in a croissant. definitely need a plate to drip over

I could really go for a cannoli right about now. I don't know why. I've never tried one.

Perish the thought It would not be a pretty sight !

A cake fork where’s the fun in that

Jam doughnuts are another cake to beware of. A careless bite into one without first checking where the little hole is could result in a messy shirt.

@Reynard - Remember four matches ago when Arsenal had a half way decent team? Where did they go?

must get them fresh. meaning, if they are already filled, don't buy them, because they will be soggy. chocolate dipped w/ chocolate chips, with a fresh Italian coffee, of your choice, is the way to go. no chocolate is very good too, I like a sprinkle of confectioners sugar though

I know... Sunk without trace, methinks.
