You know how some bottled water says "do not re-use bottle" on the bottle?
Yup, I went there.
Occasionally I don't brush my teeth twice in a day. Not because I forget. Oh no. Because I can't be bothered.

This is me, in the Ducati Museum in Bologna. That's Loris Capirossi's Desmosedici. Read the sign.
10 years ago PP! You wild man 🙂
I bought something off the classifieds today. Yep: Paypal gift.
I picked up a baby turtle once. It flapped its little fins about a lot. Felt guilty.
Off to Devon tomorrow so will be eating plenty of scones.
Cream on top of course.
that is [i]not[/i] going to end well.... 😕

I use a non regulation mug at my desk.Well I did until this morning until someone [s]nicked[/s] confiscated it.
That'll teach you, you bad man!
I have been known, on occasion, to swipe the free music cd of the front of magazines, 'cos there was nothing much in the mag I wanted to read.
I'm going to hell, aren't I?
someone earlier lied.
Days of Thunder was a PG not a 12.
pretty sure anyway...
although maybe i just made that up... who knows?
I put out both my green bins on Thursday even though I only paid for one this year
I received my water bill statement this morning, I don't pay by DD but prefer the once a year bill, I'm in credit by £312
Yay!
Who in their right mind would ever put jam on top of the clotted cream?
Nutters.

I'm neither from Devon nor Cornwall (Nottinghamshire to be truthful) and have no axe to grind.
So to me this is the sense:
If I was making a jam sandwich, the jam would go on top of the butter.
Butter is dairy.
Cream is dairy
Therefore cream is close to butter
So it follows the cream goes on first, then jam on top.
The cream is also more solid, so spreads better, and would slide around and push the jam out of the way if done the other way round.
I blatantly disregarded the "keep left" sign when walking up the stairs at a tube station yesterday when nobody was walking down.
It's how I roll, I just don't care.

Mrs Wally is still asleep, I might just get away with it. Smells like Naphalm this morning.

Where do you put the butter then? Weirdo.
I bought a 26" wheel bike. I don't care if it gives me bad cat aids.
Scone, butter, jam, then a dollop of cream. Obvs.
I'm currently running Windows on this MacBook.

I skipped breakfast this morning.
I don't hold on to the hand rail when walking up the stairs at work, despite the sign telling me I MUST.
I also don't always put a lid on my coffee, despite the fact that the sign says the coffee is hot and I need to put a lid on to avoid a serious accident.
Once I carried my coffee upstairs with no lid and I didn't hold on to the handrail!
Frankly I am surprised I manage to sleep at night 😉
Black belt....brown shoes.....I'm not proud of that one.

As well you shouldn't. That is one of the unbreakable rules. You'll be telling me you're wearing [s]no[/s] white socks next.
Mirror. Manoeuvre.
That'll learn those pesky cyclists to try and sneak past on the inside whilst I'm turning left.

I can't take this bickering about scone + [cream or jam]... I don't think there are any rules about what goes where, but I do think it should be jam first (as it's easier to spread) then cream (as it is easier to layer on).
I'm willing, purely in the interest of science to buy the required components and perform an impartial test of both methods and report back though. Just let me know and I'll et right on it.

Correct - Team Cornwall for the win.
Team Devon - Burn the heretics.
I once agreed with something JiveHoneyJive said.
My foil hat fits better these days....
People who meet me think I'm a people person whereas in reality I'm as misanthropic as Jonathan Swift.

Word,
I meet loads of new people for work. Some of them tell my workmates how nice I am or how warm and friendly, or how much I really care about their business.
The dark truth is I'll forget about them almost the second I leave their company and at best I'm indifferent about them only as long as their intentions are completely aligned with my own, if they start becoming a hindrance I can be one sadistic ****er.
I also use African American teenager slang unironically even though I'm Celtic, nearly middle-aged and live in Wales.

In the interests of improving human knowledge, I conducted this experiment. One half of the scone in the Cornish style (jam then cream, the other half Devon style. The answer is that you're correct - the Cornish method allows for a thick, smooth layer of jam and a generous quantity of clotted cream to be spooned on top. The Devon method just makes the jam slide off.
I've got Capt America on my left sock.....but Superman on my right. Mixed up socks...mixed up comic universes....beat that amateurs!

I drink my gaviscon straight from the bottle.
I didn't like Tony's coffee... Still got some great coaching though...
Went down the 'up' ramp in the multi storey to get out the other night.

It's like Emmets and Grockles innit...
Hang on, hang on - are we rhyming 'Scone' with 'Gone' or 'Cone' here?
Gone. Is there another way?
As well you shouldn't. That is one of the unbreakable rules. You'll be telling me you're wearing no white socks next.
You could even say it was a premeditate crime....I even thought yesterday evening, don't forget a brown belt....but I didn't get it out there and then and forgot.....I did try sans belt....but alas, then me pants would be showing.....and that's even worse than white socks.
Gone. Is there another way?

Is there another way?
The clue's in the question!
Gone. Is there another way?
The correct one.
So it's "gone" then. Glad that was resolved, back to the thread.
I often end a song on a dominant 7th

"Am I wrang?" he said in his thick , Weegie accent. 😀
I'm off to the Coop for a scone (rhymes with gone).
I'd like to think we can all agree this is wrong, however: [img]

Its a wasted opportunity if nothing else. Load up each half of the scone or you're missing a trick.
Quite.
And also, we'd all have the fondant fancy before the [b]SKON[/b] anywayI'd like to think we can all agree this is wrong, however:
Are those scones upside down?
I put bricks in cement mixers to clean them and bleed brakes backwards.
