Travis at Glastonbury?

[Justiceforcedave]

Now that is being damned by faint praise indeed !

[davidd]

Imagine someone passionately telling you how shit Rich Tea biscuits are and how much they hate them. It just seems like a pointless exercise, a bit like yelling at a piece of wood which you've stubbed your toe on.

To expand on the analogy, I'd never buy a pack myself but if someone offered me one, then I wouldn't turn it down. They also remind me of my grandma's house.

fox chunky

[Justiceforcedave]

They are literally and figuratively the beige of the biscuit world. An edible travis if you like. Now,what biscuit would the stones be .......?

[fatyeti24]

whatever biscuit the Stones are it has a BBE of 1972.

[glasto virgin]

travis are trios been and gone

[davidd]

The wagon wheel. A old classic, gone through many variations over the years but the original is the best. More exciting...nay, more of an event then a regular biscuit but many people still complain they're not as big or as good as they used to be. I often find myself forgetting about the wagon wheel but whenever I have one, I remember why I enjoy them.

[glasto virgin]

garibaldis are by far the nastiest biscuits of all time im telling mick

[Justiceforcedave]

Never a big fan of the wagon wheel to be honest,never liked the fake chocolate. Would plump for the Garibaldi,slightly eccentric but somehow thoroughly english ,for the stones.

I'll be honest I was very much centring my comparison on the "not as good as they used to be" complaint. I can go with Garibaldi.

On a marginally related note, if they were a chocolate bar then I think they'd be a snickers where as the Beatles would be a Mars.

My Grandad used to tell me that the raisins were flie

sure mick would love the fact your comparing his band to a vile current sandwich

[pedmills]

Comparing bands to food is definitely the way forward I think.

Ack! A world where everyone politely disagrees about everything while never pushing the boat out further than a rich tea biscuit proffered by their gran!

For me it's more like this: I've just wolfed down an entire pack of Fox's Golden Crunch Creams for the first time, and they tasted f***ing delicious- I'm high from the sugar rushing through my veins, my head is spinning from savouring every morsel of the sweet goodness.

I run down the road trying to tell everyone about this nectar of the gods, but everyone I encounter is slowly munching a solitary Rich Tea biscuit, talking about how cool they are. I then turn the corner, and there is a huge throng of people all queuing up to buy Rich Tea biscuits. Fox's Golden Crunch Creams are a quarter of the price, but no ones interested- they just want rich tea biscuits. They love the Rich Tea biscuits, and have no interest in the Fox's Golden Crunch Creams. They say they taste too exotic. I get more and more frustrated- why don't they like the Fox's Golden Crunch Creams?! Why are they so enchanted by the bland, Rich Tea biscuits?! they're one step up from cardboard. My confusion turns to frustration- are they tasting something I'm not?! The Fox's Biscuit company files for bankrupcy, while McVities profits soar on the back of Rich Tea Biscuit sales.

My frustration turns to anger and I curse The Rich Tea Biscuit and all those who devour them at every opportunity! What would otherwise have been a bland and non-discript disc to be dunked in a cup of tea, has become symbolic of a grave injustice due to it's levels of success being completely disproportionate to it's merits.
