When they came across they'd be laden with suitcases full of different flavoured vodkas, I would swap a suitcase full of designer clothing for a suitcase of vodka. The best thing about their arrival was the obligatory tasting session, where we'd try all the different flavours. It was at one such session that I first encountered Bison Grass vodka. When I enquired what it was flavoured with I was told, "whatever the bison do on the grass"

Advice from yourself and DG taken on board.
I had to make do with some slush before I went for my morning paper mind.
And the t-shirt was totally out of the equation. I adorned myself with woolly jumper and Hull FC padded jacket.
It's fooking Arctic here by the coast!

Wrights also make wonderfully, beautifully brittle brandy snaps.

I never eat brandy snaps until they're at least three days old and have begun their journey to sogginess while retaining a modicum of backbone.

If forced to eat immature brandy snaps I dunk 'em to within an inch of their lives in Assam tea.

I did half a large packet of milk chocolate digestives in whilst watching Lord Of The Rings on Film4 laat night.
Never seen the films so giving them a go.
Part 2 of the trilogy is on tonight and I can't envisage any possibility of there being any digestive survivors after tonnghts screening.
Me bad?

I'm the opposite, I keep the packet sealed until I want to eat the brandy snaps.
I never, ever, dunk them ... the splintering toffee-flavoured shards would be all gooey and that's just ordinary toffee.

Sometimes, maybe once a decade, I'll go to the trouble of piping raspberries and cream into them ... but they must be eaten within the hour to retain the contrasts between the splinter-factor, the cream and the tartness of the raspberries.
Heaven, that is ... and no cup of tea required.
