    It would seem that Ocado deliver HCBs all year round nowadays.
    All the supermarkets now sell them all year round. (I've been getting done since November.)

    Don't know why they don't use the same recipe to make buns that taste the same without the cross.

      Just popped up to the Amazon Locker. It is, shall we say, bracing out there

      But I now have a fresh supply of tiny bottles of olive oil for squirting down my ears; for my right ear has suddenly decided to accumulate wax again

      Now to rest my head on the arm of the chair for a while in the hope it'll trickle down to the tympanum in the desired manner

        Or make them with other symbols such as crescents, stars of David, and pentagrams (your choice whether to eat them inverted or not)

          You can buy olive oil in any supermarket, you know, it's no longer restricted to chemists

            There is the (Scottish) saltire variant too

              Yes, but the ordinary stuff isn't sufficiently filtered for sticking down your ears; it can contain tiny bits of vegetable matter and so on, which you don't really want festering in there.

                I believe the issue was getting the duct tape off the old one.

                  It'd be a tad embarrassing if NF turned into the Greenchimp version of the Green Man.

                  Or even a green monkey, though that might be inadvisable for various viral reasons.

                    Wondering what time the Sainsbury's delivery will turn up. They're usually early for these late evening deliveries, but probably not tremendously early, so I can probably go to the Chinese at the usual time, I reckon. Anyway, it's only three minutes' walk away so if they're that early, they can wait

                      Now you know they do dodgy call routing you're more likely to answer the phone too
