Cakearma... No. 2 in series.

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mr Kipling comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, cake for me.

And in my hour of darkness

Cakes are sitting right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, cake for me.

Cake for me, Cake for me, cake for me, cake for me.

Whisper words of wisdom, Cake for me.

And when the really hungry people

Living in the world agree,

Cake could be an answer, cake for me.

For though they may like savoury snacks there's

Still a chance that they will see

Cake could be the answer, Cake for me.

Cake for me, Cake for me. Cake for me, Yeah cake for me.

Cake will be an answer, Cake for me.

Cakearma...

And in the end....

..The cake you take...

is equal to the cake you make... (or buy!)

If Mungo Jerry had spent a summer in Glasgow they may not have been so upbeat!?

Tales From the Biscuit Tin - No. 5 in series.... The Empire Strikes Back

A frightening tale from the biscuit tin this week which tells the story of when the biscuit bites back!

It seemed the the destruction of the empire biscuit community was imminent as one hungry office worker systematically chomped her way through no less than 5 empire biscuits a week over a period of months. This scoffing spree devasted the Empire biscuit population and created a growing resentment amongst those biscuits who had so far survived her ravenous rampage.

This resentment exploded in violence last week when the empire biscuit that our hungry villain had her eye on literally bit back and devoured it's adversary with an appetite in two bites.

Her colleagues later commented "She had a sweet tooth and she just couldn't resist the cherry topped treat. That cherry was a beacon to her. A beacon I tell you!"

The Empire Biscuit community have supported the biscuit in questions vigilante actions and have pledged to carry out similar attacks on anyone who approaches an empire biscuit with a hungry gleam in their eye. So...

...beware when choosing your teabreak snack
that the treat you choose doesn't bite back!
The cherry topped empire looks so appealing
But if it bites you first then you will be squealing
Go for a hobnob or a pink wafer
Although a bit dull a wafers much safer!

The Terrors That Lie Within.....(No.1 in series)

The Terrors That Lie Within.... The Stationery Cupboard!?!

Beware!!!! Terror and Horror can lie in the most unexpected of places. A quick glance through any accident book in the workplace will reveal the stationery cupboard to be a dark place of danger. Almost 85% of accidents in the UK take place in office stationery stores and I myself have fallen victim to this terrible terrible place.

Beware when opening the Samurai envelope...

In 2010 I suffered a papercut so bad that it reduced my normally professional work place persona to a blubbering wreck. The villain of this piece is an envelope! OMG I hear you say!? Yes a seemingly harmless paper product most commonly used as a carrier for the delivery of letters from one location to another. But what happens when envelopes turn bad!? Unfortunately what happened is too gruesome and bloody to describe in this pre watershed blog so I will let your imagination fill in the blanks. Needless to say I suffered the worst papercut a human being could endure. It later emerged that the envelope in question had been a samurai sword in a previous life and had retained its lethal sharpness in it's new incarnation as office stationery. But how was I to know!? I can only hope that my story will serve as a warning to others to beware of the terrors that lie within.... the stationery cupboard!

... it bites!

Next time we hear about "The Terrors That Lie Within.... The Garden Centre." Where one pensioner recently got more than they bargained for on a trip to popular garden centre Dobbies... Watch this space!

Tales from the Biscuit Tin: No. 4 in Series... The Jammy Dodger

The Jammy Dodger - I wonder if he considers himself at home now he's behind bars.

A crime based tale from the biscuit tin this week with the story of the Jammy Dodger, who was recently apprehended by police for pick pocketing on the streets of London. Upon his arrest it emerged that the Jammy Dodger has been the leader of a gang of criminal street biscuits who have been targeting the pockets of Londoners and visitors to the nation's capital for years. The arrest of the Jammy Dodger followed an undercover operation by Scotland Yard where one of their officers Cadburys Twirl was initiated into the nefarious activities of the criminal gang. The Jammy Dodger was heard to remark upon sentencing "What's to happen to the likes of me? Just trying to make a dishonest living for himself." 


But the story doesn't end there... There has been claims of a second shadowy figure in the biscuit underworld who is really behind the biscuit based pick pocket gang. The Jammy Dodger didn't give up this crummy character to the police but an anonymous source claims the biscuit really behind the crime spree is a Mr Fig roll, who instructs the young biscuits to steal in exchange for a tin over their heads.


However, the mention of this villainous fig roll hasn't changed the fate of the Jammy Dodger who has now been put behind bars for his part in this crime caper. 


An Excerpt of the recording from the wire worn by the undercover officer Cadburys Twirl...


[DODGER (spoken)]
So, Cadburys Twirl, you're coming with me.

[TWIRL (spoken)]
Are you sure Mr. Fig Roll won't mind?

[DODGER (spoken)]
Mind?!

[DODGER (breaks into song)]
Consider yourself a cookie
Consider yourself one of the confectionery
We'll make a cuppa tea so strong
It's clear your going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself one of the biscuit tin
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares?..all of the biscuits share!

Consider yourself dunked in
We don't want to have no crumbs,
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself
one of us!
