Can't argue with thatAs Del tells me: 'A nag is only a repeated request, so if the request is fulfilled at the first time of asking, there's no need to nag!'

Hot Cross Buns are being advertised now. Does anybody actually like them?
It's a bit like Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding and mince pies, only for the occasion. I wonder why, surely if they were properly nice folk would eat them all year round?

I do! Lightly toasted, bit of butter - yummo!
I wouldn't eat them all year around though, just nice as an Easter treat (I say Easter, I mean late January to early May).

Well if I was looking through bakery products, I'd somehow find myself drawn more towards the custard slices than Hot Cross Buns.
Same with Christmas pud, it's never really appealed, I'd opt for apple crumble & custard any day!

Oh yes, love everything you mention - mind you, lots of supermarket hot cross buns are just too bland for me.
Decent spiced bun with butter
All the Christmas ones I prefer with a Malt or Armagnac or Port, bit of a pattern emerging here

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Well if it was a toss-up between a slice of Christmas Cake or chocolate gateau, I reckon most would opt for the latter.
