Foxs Party Rings Review |
Dear Nicey,
I’ve been trying to find a biscuit I used to have when I was little and can’t remember what it’s called. I’ve looked in supermarkets and online but still can’t find it. It was round with a frilled edge, and was mostly covered by a round, flat circle of icing, which was half pink and half white. I think there was another version which had pink/brown and white/brown as options too but I could be wrong.
Any ideas what is was? I’d love to get hold of them again!
Thanks
Rachel

Good morning Nicey, Wifey and YMoS,
In these dark days of hooded tops and youngsters turning their backs on grand institutions like tea and sits down, there is a small glimmer of hope - the UWIC Undergraduate Prospectus
I am a librarian at one of the UWIC sites and was perusing the stacks of new prospectus we had received when my eye fell on the cover of our very own - a huge chocolate digestive (I am using the distinctive ridge pattern as the basis for my assertion) with a healthy bite taken out. Further inspection of the whole document has each School and section represented by a biscuit - the mighty Pink Party Ring is there, the classic Chocolate Bourbon, and even the sometimes miss-understood Pink Wafer.
At least there is one academic institution that realises the importance of biscuits - and I am assuming tea - to the successful development of our future movers and shakers. Maybe NCOTAASD could become an advisor for any future publications to ensure the correct use of biscuits at all times?
Keep up the good work,
ttfn,
Aimee Jones |
| Nicey replies: That all seems very sensible. Wifey undertook a special solo mission to Cardiff a couple of weeks ago, and was very impressed by the the tea, biscuits and homemade cake rota at the place she visited. She also had an lovely sit down at the cafe at the end of the David Morgan arcade. She arrived back with talk of handing out special awards to institutions for outstanding tea breaks. |

Nicey, Wifey and all at NCOTAASD,
I was recently at UWIC University attending a UCAS convention, picking up information on universities and the like, everyone was handing out prospectuses, so off we went collecting them when we walked passed Essex university stand. Now I had not previously considered Essex University, but I could not help picking up a prospectus when I saw it. I brought it home eager to show the staff at NCOTAASD. I am sure you will appreciate the prospectus and despite not having read the prospectus, myself and others are now considering Essex University for our education based on their dedication to Party Rings.

Dear Nicey
Foxs party rings were a staple in the climbing shop I used to run. We also had a fetish for the similar cafe noir, but I can no longer get these. Somerfields used to stock them, but my enquiries have led nowhere. Shame, 'cos the two would counterbalance each other in terms of their geometry. Incidentally, Party Rings are especially good with Earl Grey tea.

'Try Rasping' is an anagram of Party Rings. I put one on each of my fingers, and it makes me feel like a princess!! |
| Nicey replies: Oh yes that is standard behavior for princesses. |
