But that sounds about right.

# You bite the opposite corners off the Tim Tam
Dip it in your tea and suck the tea up through it. When soggy, slam the biscuit in your mouth.

An Australian taught it to me during presentation training.

# Ah-hah!
A more detailed/specific version of what I'd heard, I thank you Miss.

# copy/paste time
The Tim Tam Slam, also known as the Tim Tam Suck, Tim Tam Explosion, Tim Tam Orgasm, Tim Tam Straw, Shot-gunning a Tim Tam, or just plain Tim Tamming is the main form of Tea Sucking and involves biting off opposing corners of the Tim Tam and then using it as a 'straw' to suck up a hot beverage (usually tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or Milo) and then, just before the biscuit falls apart, it is placed in the mouth. The thicker chocolate coating on the Double Coat Tim Tam offers a more stable exoskeleton to help ensure the biscuit does not collapse prematurely. The Chewy Caramel variety also has an advantage for performing the Tim Tam Slam since the caramel centre helps to hold the biscuit together for a slightly longer time. The Arnott's company prefers the name Tim Tam Suck.

# as much as I like Tea, I prefer dunking biscuits in coffee for some reason.
And my fave biscuits for dunking are chocolate digestives, Hob Nobs, or even better - CHOCOLATE COATED HOB NOBS. Yum.

# Sorry to TJ but...
I got a problem and you guys are probably the only ones that can help!

I got an interview this afternoon, and I had one more piece of work to add to my portfolio (the 'money shot' as it were), and the goddam file is corrupt.
It's a .psd file. Tattyshop just tells me it's not a recognised format. I've tried dropping it into Acrobat, openign it with other software, nothing...
It's on my flash drive, I've got no way of accessing the computer it was created on (that'll be my home one, I'm at work).
I've tried it on Mac and PC, but no joy.

My entire future rests on you guys hefty shoulders.

Please help.

w/y/h etc...

honesty best policy

i once went to one just after a flood had attacked my portfolio (back in the days when you showed the printed versions) - half the pages were missing/ruined, so i spent the interview saying 'now here was a rather lovely logo done for a clothing firm, looked a bit like...' then using a marker pen and whiteboard.

didn't get the job, somebody better did, but they phoned back to say they were very impressed with my bluffing skills, and was i interested in account management. i wasn't ;)

I managed to bluff my way through an interview by demoing a website that I hadn't made yet. I claimed that I hadn't been able to afford the hosting for the last few weeks but I'll email a copy after the interview.
