Lamingtons are only good when filled with whipped cream, I've never been a fan of the "diet" ones (as my Mum calls them!). I also prefer raspberry ones, which you don't often see in these parts. They've been around for ever (well, for my lifetime at least) over there, so it's amusing to see them popping up on posh cake stalls.


Friands... Having grown up in NZ, lived there for 26 years before moving here, I had never heard of them until August when my Mum seemed to be buying them at every opportunity. Didn't think they were particularly nice.

What Rosie said. Word for bloody word!

WHat about muffins??? For example - chocolate chip. Promise so much - all those chocolatey bits on top and shiny sticky gooey-looking surface. You think - maybe this one will be different, maybe this time it'll be a good'un. Underneath - shitty crumby crumbly stuff that gets EVERYWHERE - guess this pleases passing pigeons - and is usually dried out! Like most cupcakes - style over substance ... discuss...

I personally think that cupcakes and their obsessive production, are a manifestation of repressed sexual desires and frustrations.


Otta alludes to this in his last post (as I read it)


>decorate cupcakes with little shiny balls which are meant to be edible<


If that's not "Vagazzles" on a cupcake then i'm somewhat mistaken.



Actually, are Vagazzles edible ?

    • It  might have been a stop on a car i think as there was a car with blue police tape on it and smashed windows on drivers side a few doors from my house but I didn't see or hear anything 
    • Silver ring with blue stone found in Dulwich Park today. Please contact me at 07438359765 
    • Does it deal at all with the question of the anticipated per capita future costs of necessary repairs to or upgrading of the ?still largely old underground piping across their area, and how that compares with future risks existing in other areas?  I wonder too whether the latest apparent concentrated spate of leaks is attributable at all to the heat. TW say that they have not made any dividend payments to external shareholders (among them a Candian teachers pension fund) since 2017.    There have been like payments, though, to their holding companies (?Kemble, and Thames ?something), reportedly I think to service debts to them. Thames Water annual company reports are available online.  Ofwat have also published about leakage.
    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
