See how easily they unravel:<br /><br />1) Flatness: what is one of the most popular cakes in the entire world? The pancake. <br /><br />2) Smallness: size matters in the bedroom not the kitchen. Judge Yoda by his size do you? As well you should not, for his ally is the force and a powerful ally it is.<br /><br />3) Stackability: a wide variety of cakes can be stacked including sponge cakes, brownies, our aforementioned friend the pancake and of course, ring doughnuts.<br /><br />4) Packaging: this is the crumbliest argument of them all. A lady of your good sense and wit surely knows better than to judge a product by the wrapper in which it comes. I could store my Jaffa Cakes in a biscuit tin for a week and they would still be cakes.<br /><br />5) Desserts: oh dear, please ignore comment 4) about the packaging argument being the weakest. This one is much weaker. All that has to be done is to Google "Is cake a dessert?" and the answer is plain to see.<br /><br />I hope this rather critical examination of your views is of use. I do find that when someone holds a belief very firmly they are sometimes unwilling to listen to reason. Still, I live in hope. xx<br />Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-48191890889064963532017-10-01T15:27:21.083+01:002017-10-01T15:27:21.083+01:00Yeah, use minions.Yeah, use minions.Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-42497074481435774302017-10-01T01:34:41.860+01:002017-10-01T01:34:41.860+01:00We do have a saying here "dyed in the wool&qu...We do have a saying here "dyed in the wool" which I thought meant immersed, serious about the subject.

However, if you were to replace that base with jaffacakes, it would no longer be a biscuit base. Their texture is too soft to be included in the biscuit category. Granted they are unusually firm and more closely resemble stale cakes than fresh ones but cakes they resemble nonetheless.Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-17550523091215690052017-09-30T11:49:14.306+01:002017-09-30T11:49:14.306+01:00Is there much slack in your timetable or will you ...Is there much slack in your timetable or will you always be this busy?Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-87528701442275758392017-09-30T06:48:26.128+01:002017-09-30T06:48:26.128+01:00I looked them up.

A lot to carry, two candelabras, one large print of cupids (I was resisting, but only $4, ) a clock, 14 iron candlesticks, two large vases, a raincoat, hoodie, Mexican drinking glasses, numerous fushia and pewter organza bows, two cream brocade cushions, and something else I can't recall. <br />Oh and the dj pulled out, so I have to find another. He said he can't get time off work to set up on a Friday. <br /><br />Running on empty https://www.blogger.com/profile/05668554083864151638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-53530237667466606372017-09-28T17:19:17.228+01:002017-09-28T17:19:17.228+01:00Why?
