My birthday's not listed either even after requesting it to be put on the b'day list for over four years... so don't feel bad...some people just don't rank.

Scout - "...My birthday's not listed either even after requesting it to be put on the b'day list for over four years..."
Perhaps your wisdom is ageless?
BUT - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! just the same and when ever appropriate!
M ....and: Dear Land Lady, Happy Birthday+19!, B'day '09 D-346!

So please level your analysis at their errant country, not at the Mother Country that made you what you are today - escapees from a tea party. Indignant of Leamington Spa Sir Hunk of Indignation: Of course we had to escape...Would a loving Mother treat her children thus? We generously share with you chaps a delectable confection, and how are we thanked? Can Oreo win over British biscuit lovers?
Quote: But self-appointed biscuit expert Stuart Payne, author of A Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down, says he was under-whelmed and disappointed by them. "It's like someone rudely coming into your home and telling you how to arrange your settee. It arrives here and says: 'I'm Oreo and this is what you do with me'...Well we've had biscuits for a long time and we know what to do." Quote: I've been eating Oreos for a few months and while they are nice enough I have to say that the whole twist thing is rubbish. You cannot just twist it apart if you try it will just shatter in your hand. I found that you have to use the same method used for the custard cream ... bite one half of the biscuit off. And taste wise the custard cream beats it hands down, all in all i cant see it beating our British fave anytime soon. Quote: I've tried these, and was disappointed. The dark colouring makes them look as if they'll be really dark-chocolatey, which would be great, but they aren't at all. Give me a plain chocolate digestive any day!
Quote: Ugh! These monstrosities, like Hershey's revolting "chocolate" just go to reinforce the stereotype that Americans have no sense of quality. Give me a custard cream every time!
What manner of barbarous language manglers would call a cookie a biscuit? And would prefer something called a digestive?? And don't even get me started on custard creams...whatever the heck they are. (No, seriously, don't get me started on them; they sound high caloric.) cefil Full story here: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7376123.stm

Scout,
I know it appears that I control everything but, alas, I have no control over birthdays. The only way to correct it is to register again and enter the correct day.
Happy Birthday +1!
Diane

The great British public will never take to a foodstuff that was shown in a certain movie to be orang utan fodder. The taste buds this side of the Big Pond have been refined over many centuries of cultured eating. Such delicacies as faggots, fish chips and mushy peas, Yorkshire pudding and spotted dick make it impossible for us to enjoy the taste of something that aspires to be a biscuit but does not merit the name and is only enjoyed by Clyde and you colonials whose taste buds have been destroyed by the rise of the fast food fetish. I would also add that your own humour hero, the great Spike Jones, did NOT sing "Pass the cookies Mirandy" and for you to overlook that fact is asking to be drummed out of the City Slickers Fan Club. Lastly young man, get your teminology right. They are Custer creams, sir, Custer creams - only truly enjoyed when they are licked. So you'll just have to accept it - that's the way the biscuit crumbles. Dennis Bloodnock (Major)

My dear Major -- at least the SpikeMeister knew the proper use for your biscuits: "I'll use your biscuits for bullets; I'll put [you] varmints on the run..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgn_aNCBXKwcefil P.S.: You should probably get some treatment for that spotted dick...It likely comes from eating all those "faggots, fish chips and mushy peas"...

Osric, now then crafty colonial, don't try and discombobulate me by playing at semantics, imposing sin tax and twisting granma. The BISCUITS sung of by the Jones Philharmonic Loonies, as depicted in the youtube video clip, are without question AMERICAN in origin as the action is taking place in a hillbilly shack so cannot be my (or United Kingdom) biscuits. That the said foodstuffs are useful as rifle ammunition comes as no surprise. They are undoubtedly early Oreos and as they were destined to kill you slowly anyway, it was a blessing to be shot by them and end the misery more quickly. As for the spotted dick, it is a dish named by Custer himself in homage to the problem he returned to West Point with in August 1859. Aloyisius P. Silvester Stallion III
