They come in several varieties, including Double Coat, Dark Choc, Peppermint flavoured, etc etc, and two of the absolute best things in the world to do with a Tim Tam are:<br /><br />1. Get a cup of tea or coffee, not too hot. <br /><br />2. Bite off diagonally opposing corners of the Tim Tam.<br /><br />3. Insert into the liquid, and suck for all your life is worth. <br /><br />The colloidal viscosity of the outside coating stops the whole thing dissolving in your hand, but you get a mouthful of warm mushy chocolate, which is topped only by the instant insertion into your gob of the hollowed-out husk of the Tim Tam.<br /><br />4. Go & lie down.<br /><br />The other thing is to do the same with a glass of milk. Not quite the same effect, but nearly as good. Sometimes known here as "the Tim Tam Slam".Isabella Golightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06842996216646422271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-37586855368854818862010-05-06T18:42:01.287+10:002010-05-06T18:42:01.287+10:00oh man,

Totally agree with you about the Dustbuster...a worthless piece of wall art if you ask me. Also totally agree about the Xerox man. When I worked in the doctor's office, ours had the nicest pockets I'd ever seen. We used to leave little bits off things under the machine he was working on so he'd half to bend over and pick them up. Sexist, I know, but some days you have to get your fun where you can find it. <br /><br />Shorthand, now there's a lost art. I remember taking that in school, used it for a few years.

I realized relying on a dictation machine wouldn't be good enough (or to put it another way: shorthand would put me ahead of the competition) ~~ but I know exactly where you're coming from hoping to God to be able to read back the scrawls in the morning. By the way what type of shorthand do you use?
