It's not even strange, buy a box of assorted cheese biscuits and there'll be some digestives in there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of cheese, digestive biscuits and Guinness, produce farts so noxious, that they contravene several international conventions banning chemical weapons.

How did this pass by without comment? I mean, digestives with cheese, sure, absolutely standard, no controversy there. And plain choc digestives on their own, 100%, totally superior to the milk version. But choc digs with cheese? And not just cheese, but stilton? Just... no. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just cheese, but stilton? Just... no. When I first heard about it I almost barfed in disgust. Then I tried it....I guess the nearest I can compare it to is a sweet and sour/savoury experience...the contrast between the two actually works (imho). Has to be plain chocolate though, for me. I mean....cheese and grapes/figs....even pineapple works, right ? I mean, it's not as if I'm advocating gravy on fish and chips now am I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're a very different kind of sweetness to chocolate. tbf, I'm almost tempted to try it. Almost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I once had a Japanese chocolate called Crunky that was cheese flavoured, it was… different, but really not unpleasant at all. It had rice puffs in it also. I’d eat it again tbh. Chocolate drizzled over lightly salted plain crisps and left to set is also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least two of those posts were by the same member I suggest you are one of a very small percentage of people that is actually using the term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Do other people visualise the week like I do? For as long as I can remember, I have visualised the week as a circle, effectively a clock but for a week instead of a day. It's split in half with Monday to Friday making up the right hand side of the circle, essentially 12 to 6 on the clock. Saturday and Sunday then make up the left hand side of the circle. Then wherever we are in the week, I visualise it as being a point on that circle, so I guess like a hand of a clock. Even down to time of day. So if I wake up at 6am on Thursday I'll automatically visualise the hand at the start of the thursday section, whereas when i finish work it will have moved to the end of the segment. I don't have to think about this. It just happens. It's subconscious. If I'm going out on a Friday I'll visualise it as being around about 6oclock on the clockface. I don't have to deliberately visualise it, it's just totally instinctive. I have no explanation for this. The only thing I can think of is I THINK I had a jigsaw as a kid that was circular and represented the week in this way. I have never been able to find evidence of this, but it's a very vague memory. And I think it just stuck forever Edit: I guess like this. This isn't the one, but it's similar But the proportions are off in my head. Half the circle is taken up by Mon-Fri and the other half is Saturday and Sunday Does anyone else do this?
