I have been at work (at the weekend, again) for some 8 hours now and I have eaten most of my Sainsbury's 'Taste the difference' Chunky chocolate and hazelnut cookies and drank all of my orange juice and several mugs of tea. The sheer volume of tea consumed meant I had to steal some milk from upstairs (I don't like black tea so it was a necessary crime). I bought some M&S all butter chocolate chunk cookies too, but I will save those for tomorrow. 2 different brands of high quality biscuit in one day would just be decadence. I think I did some work too but this was for only 2-3 minutes at the most.
I have to say that both the Saino's and M&S cookies leapfrog all my previous favourites in the biscuit stakes (see here). The Saino's ones are super nice on their own but a bit too crumbly - you can't dip in your tea because then you would just lose them. The M&S ones are fantastic. The chocolate chunks are huge and of a distinctly higher quality than your average Maryland choc chips. The cookie is both nice and quite resistant to dipping, allowing one to enhance the flavour with tea/coffee/hot chocolate without fearing the splash of wet cookie in their mug or on their lap. The only slightly bad thing about M&S cookies is that none of their other cookies are even nearly as nice: whenever I've been in recently, there has been a shortage of all butter chocolate chunk cookies but shitloads of other bollocks like oatmeal or sultana filled cookies. If anyone from M&S food is reading this then FOR FUCK SAKE ITS OBVIOUS THAT NO ONE BUYS THE SULTANA/OATMEAL/SHIT COOKIES BECAUSE THEY TASTE LIKE SHIT, THE ALL BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK ONES ARE WHERE ITS AT YOU LAZY CUNTS.
Somehow I don't think they will take this on board.
This cookie-orientated entry is basically because I have been doing very little apart from playing computer games and playing guitar. I blame this:
One of the new features is half-time team talks where you can tell your players that they are shit even though they are 5-0 up or praise your goalie for making Massimo Taibi style errors. Unfortunately the game doesn't really interpret this kind of sarcasm (or indeed any sort), so my digital statistical Ledley King is probably quite confused that I keep telling him he's 'clueless all over the pitch' even though he's probably my best player, if my digital statistical Ledley King was capable of being confused. I will probably have to resort to my usual tactic of looking for players with funny names to source some humour from Footie Manager until the day comes when the makers decide to make the players capable of understanding weird reverse psychology.
I think I've written enough about my adventures for today.
