 Continuing my attempt to start non-lunch food threads:
	Continuing my attempt to start non-lunch food threads:My breakfast is 5 Rich Tea biscuits and a cup of tea to dunk them in.
What did you have for breakfast?
Alt: I reckon I could pretty much live on biscuits, what single foodstuff could you live on.
AltAlt: who do we think set off the bombs in Boston? Personally I'm hoping for white nutters rather than brown, so that the yanks have a harder time being simplistic about who they target. The Westborough Baptist Church, or maybe the Tea Party would be favourites.
Edit:
AltAltAlt: It seem Nakers and Hartly are confused and frightened by a simple biscuit. What confuses and frightens you.
