Is that ROI ?

Currently 434% for this year on 'Tilt, only a small sample mind you thirty-odd tourneys and all of them PLO.

Thanks and apologies for the late-night chirp.

Can everyone please stop including Ralph's pic in their quotes. he's put on weight and I'm short of bandwidth.

He looks like an inventor.

I still use loose leaf tea, no tea bag comes close. I have my wee teapot and strainer as well.

If I'm making a quick brew at home during a 5 min break in a tourney, I will take the Tea bag option but always using 3 Tea bags for 1 mug.

Agree with Tom, thick as tar with loads of sugar (usually 3 heaped tea spoons of sugar for me.)

Spot on Geo, I went to bags for a while but they just don't cut it, although now i'm back on proper tea i have to make my own as the wife says " i've not got time to fanny about with tea leaves "

I love it when we debate these cutting edge issues. this is the stuff that really matters.

I bet they don't get this on 2+2.

Now, what kind of biscuits do you like?


BTW- I saw this on a Jaffa Cake delivery van the other day - No Jaffa Cakes left in this vehicle overnight

Lol this is what current affairs is all about.

Chocolate hob nobs closely followed by chocolate digestives.

But i'm not a dunker though.

I don't dunk. Well, 'cept custard creams. You gotta dunk custard creams.

I shaved my moustache once and the dog bit me.

Tough one, don't think it was anything to do with the fashion industry though.

I must also say I can relate to the dog incident. I once went round my Girlfriend's with my cap on and her dog that usually loves me went ballistic. Its only a miniature Daschund though so its barks worse than its bite!

Just out of interest how long does it take from start to finish to grow a fine specimen of a moustache to that thickness and length?

You see I'm 24 (today ) and I'm still not sure I've started puberty, the cat licks my face and the hairs gone in one go lol.

I'm stuck with this tache. shaving it of is a losing battle. It re-grows within hours.

Just as well really. Without it I have a lip like a motherless foal.

I'm lolling hard at the mental image of that.

Jaffa Cakes are a biscuit-like cake in the United Kingdom and Ireland. There are a number of brands.

McVitie and Price introduced the Jaffa Cake in 1927. Its creation is largely credited to John Langlands, a director of McVitie and Price. The cakes were named after Jaffa oranges, sweet oranges native to Jaffa.[1]

Jaffa Cakes are circular, 54 mm (2⅛ inches) in diameter and have three layers: a sponge cake base, a layer of orange flavoured jelly and a coating of dark chocolate. [2] The basic way to prepare a Jaffa cake entails baking a fatless sponge and adding jam and chocolate to taste.[3]

Under UK law, no Value Added Tax (VAT) is charged on biscuits and cakes — they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are subject to VAT, currently 17.5%. McVities classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991, this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise and the case ended up before the courts.[4] This may have been because Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuit, and particularly because they are commonly eaten alongside, or instead of, traditional biscuits. The court asked "What criteria should be used to class something as a cake?"

McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes, producing a 12" (30 cm) Jaffa Cake to illustrate that its Jaffa Cakes were simply miniature cakes.[5]

McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is, among other things, that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard. It was demonstrated to the Tribunal that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale. Other factors taken into account by the Chairman, Potter QC, included the name, ingredients, texture, size, packaging, marketing, presentation, appeal to children, and manufacturing process. Potter ruled that the Jaffa Cake is a cake. McVities therefore won the case and VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes.[6]

You cant dunk a cake

See. I told you this was cutting edge stuff.
