Well, always of the individually wrapped chocolate variety. No soggy biscuits for my boy!
Doozer was telling me how much he liked Blue Ribbands the other day. If I were a boy I think I'd like Viscount biscuits; boys can eat them in one mouthful which would cut down on the time taken to eat an entire packet. It is vitally important for men to eat fast.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

My boyfriend doesn't like biscuits. He's more a beer & spicy chicken wings kinda guy. Typical Canadian.Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. - Jefferson0

A little bit off topic, but I was in work the other day when two colleagues and I were discussing body mass index. One of my mates is a black belt taekwondo instructor and many moons ago used to be British heavyweight judo champion. My other mate is a bodybuilder (natural), goes to the gym several times a week and does a few long fell walks per month. I myself cycle well over ten miles every day, run the odd marathon and do other runs and triathlons.
When we actually calculated our BMIs we were all classified as being obese!!:rotfl: I think we must suffer from chocolate retention.0 -

And you were all in the same room together?

I hope you belong to a cycling or running club. There are sure to be females there.Cycling, weight lifting, running, computer games, repairing cars, repairing computers, stockmarket, antiques, coins, stamps, DIY, bricklaying, plastering, architecture, making music + listening too, mathematical problems, comedy, drinking + socialising, travelling, cooking, reading. So quite a lot and can bore people to the nth geek degree on any of my hobbies
I'm not cynical I'm realistic

Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, just forget everything else and get a pack of them.
There is no comparison.
As for all this martial arts, fell walking and weights. Sounds like a right load of hard work to me:rotfl:
All this BMI stuff can get a little out of hand. For various reasons I needed to see a consultant a little while ago, I weighed about 12 and half stone at the time (I'm 5'8") - to my astonishment he told me I was obese. I have no idea where these people get these ideas from.
I was referred to another consultant who I saw about three months later, my weight hadn't changed in that time, as I walked in, she looked at the file, looked up at me and said, "Oh you've lost some weight, it says here you're obese".
No wonder we're living in a society where children think eating disorders are the norm.
Anyway, all these stick thin women all look ill if you ask me.
A few curves are far more attractive, 50's style. Marilyn Monroe size (who I believe was around a size 14/16).:D0 -

Oooh, can this be a bragging match
It too am classified as obese according to BMI, yet did the UK's toughest 25 mile fell run in April, will be running the Snowdonia Marathon (Europe's toughest) in October, cycled 100 miles on Sunday over Northumberland's most unforgiving hills just for the hell of it, and regularly battle the North Sea waves after work whilst donning a sleek triath wetsuit.
And I rent and I'm single

All the testosterone flowing round this thread is making me feel quite inadequate. Time to start jogging again."Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
"I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.0
