    Bugger a dunking disaster. I had always thought malted milks to be a dependable dunking biscuits now it's floating around in my cuppa. Think of me at this difficult time.

    I suppose I could dodge bomb alley and nip to the shop next to the corridor of confusion and get a more reliable choice.

    I always find that ginger biscuits are solid, dependable and loyal to the cause.

    I had malted at work last week with no dunking disaster. You must have dunked for too long. Must have.

    It as less than 3 seconds as per the international standard of dunking.

    It probably won't help to hear this at the minute but things will get easier and hopefully you will have learned a lesson.

    I have retrieved some bourbons from the bottom of the barrel. Not my favourite biscuit but a solid dunking partner.

    Sometimes it's just better to go for the safe bet rather than risk everything pal.

    Sounds like a Lee Johnson quote.

    I bet he has all the Marks and Sparks choccy biccies lined up but consigns them back to the barrel and opts for a safety first custard cream stead.

    You should probably read articles by biscuit scientists before attempting your next dunk.

    Dr. Len Fisher has recommended to use a wide-brimmed cup filled almost to the top, to do horizontal dunking (so that only the bottom side gets wet), and then to quickly turn your dunked biscuit upside down so the stronger dry side gives structural integrity to the wet side.

    You could put together a scientific paper of your own and present it to us, the BBS dunking community, along with funky diagrams.

    The newest theory is that you don't dunk but USE your biscuit, and have protocol for when your biscuit's weaknesses are exposed, so swap 1 for 4-4-1-1. I can certainly dominate a biscuit one on one though.

    Without knowing it I am already a disciple of Fisherism. Wide brimmed cup check. Horizontal dunking check. Warm milk though that's a step too far.

    Forgive me father I have sinned. I don't like hobnobs. There I'm out I've said it. I feel relieved. I may now have the strength to come out to my family. Though my dads not going to take it very well. He loves a hobnob.

    Brothers in arms then mate. I don't like hobnobs either. Like cardboard.

    Use the 442 dunking method two quick dunks of four and a more leisurely double dunk however there's nothing can be done if you've brought in what you thought were hob nobs and they behave like rich teas.

    Stop dunking its easy. 1st bite off a bit of any biscuit and leave it in your mouth, while the biscuit is in your mouth have a drink of hot tea, swill biscuit and tea together until you have the required consistency then swallow. I know it's a new tactic and formation but it works you just need to think out of the box sometimes to get that winning formula.
