Further biscuit supplies

[davidn]

Having been in sore need of some familiar comforts recently, I was amazed when this parcel arrived from my parents in addition to the Christmas presents that we knew they were sending over. It felt a lot heavier than it looked, because it was crammed to the brim with these:


These were added to the Fox range (terrible news channel - great biscuits, though) at some point in the last couple of years, and they're made of some sort of honeycomb-like substance with chocolate spread on one side. They, like most of their biscuits, are absolutely wonderful - and unlike the Creams, these ones have the added bonus that my weird friends can't make any dirty jokes about their name.

Nothing to concern yourself with, just some swamp gas distorting some moonlight and refracting it in an odd way.

A twisted if otherwise rather accurate depiction of what Scotch children's television is like. Whitney thought there was something wrong with the television when she first saw this stuff, because they just stopped inventing words for it a hundred years ago, and it really does sound like unfamiliar spitting noises peppered with English words like "Koes agh haiche helicopter".

"Scotch" as in the producers' nationalities, or as in what they were drinking when they made that?

Every time I try to describe things I grew up with in Britain, people think I've taken a significant quantity of hallucinogenic drugs - socks that speak Gaelic are only the tip of the iceberg...

I did grasp about every fifth or sixth word or so, yes.
