My wife has bought some coffee mugs. My biscuits won,t fit inside them. Yes, I could break them first but I get shouted at if I leave crumbs..
Should I divorce her after 49 years - and perhaps marry Madonna?. I feel i've got at least another 6 months in me.

Happy days

you might get a good price for her, on Ebay!
LOL
shows how inconsiderate she is, she should have taken a biscuit sample to try in the mugs before she bought them..
LOL

You won't get biscuits with Madonna.You will have to have all that organic stuff.

I think you would probably do better with somebody like Rosemary Schrager.She looks like a woman who would enjoy a biscuit or two.

Thank you. Like most men, I just fancy a nibble occasionally. Would I get that off Madonna -(I should be so lu...)

lol what a lovely thread! I'd give your wife another chance Harry, why not ask Santa for a dunking size Mug ?

or....you could ask the missus (nicely) to bake some biscuits perfectly proportioned to fit the coffee cup! On the other than, Harry, if you want to sit dreaming about Madonna, well dream on!! Mwah! BC XX

Thank you Liz. Good thinking. What a time to be up and about.
BC - you are getting bitter as you are approaching middle age.

Thanks to all. Happy days

Perhaps Harry you could " accidentally " drop the offending mug ( might result in you getting shouted at ) but then you could go out and buy one that has the correct dimensions.......maybe one with a picture of Madonna on it ( best of both worlds ).........lol

What do you do Harry when you drop the biscuit in the cup, and it sinks to the bottom. Or dont you do this?

My OH is always doing this, and trying to fish it out.

Mo,
I liken myself to the Queen and Prince Phillip - One only "fishes" it out if your partner is not looking. ( "I should be so mucky", to continue the Madonna theme).

Happy days

You have to buy your biscuits according to your requirements.Petit beurres are useless for dunking.Jammy Dodgers are quite good because the jam keeps them together.

I had to edit that.I had put Jammy Didgers and it looks rude doesn't it?

Beware the biscuit with the invisible fracture......the chain reaction when it plops into your nearly full mug of tea / coffee can be devastating........many a scaled lap or soggy carpet has been the result of the dread biscuit fracture..............lol

I always do the gentle strength test on each biscuit before dunking.........lol
