Poor impoverished student my arse!!!!  You students don't even know you're born these days.  I remember when I was a student, I got no food all day, had no shoes and got cained everytime I farted in class.  Sheesh, you young 'uns, you have no idea how it used to be.  I was in the war you know...... (fade out)

[Mike]

Ahhhh, but do you remember Nam? I lost a few good friends
that day..........

[becca]

was that a yes then??

[Mike]

That'll be a no. Nothings free in this world my dear!
Actually I lied....I've been paid, so the tin is now overflowing!
Choccie digestive's for all........

[Collie]

I'm fed up with Chocolate digestives, nice when you haven't had them for a while, but when you have them too often they're a bit crap.  Like Custard creams.... too many custard creams spoils the broth.  Or something.

[becca]

but... but... they're on offer at safeway at the moment!!

[Mike]

God, some people are soooo bloody picky!  
Well then Col, what do you want instead of choccie d's then?

[Collie]

Sponge finger things.  Haven't had them for years.  Suddenly have an urge to have a few.

[Mike]

So, you want Sponge Finger Things? What the hell are Sponge
Finger Things?? Do they at least have a name???

[Collie]

Yea, "Sponge Fingers."

They're long crunchy-ish biege colour (possibly) with sugar on top.  About 4 inches long.  Usually found in a clear plastic covering stacked up 2 high with about 15 across.

Like so....

ooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooo


Wow, ascii illustrations!

Actually the description was right, the name wrong.  I think those Sponge Fingers refer to another snack.

Well they're biscuity fingers.  You can even stick them in your ice cream or tea.

[Mike]

Ahhhh, I'll keep me eye out for 'em then!

[becca]

.....its happening again!!

[Collie]

It is?  Er what is?

[becca]
