In 1942 a team of scientists headed by Harry Coover Jr, accidently discovered a curious substance that annoyingly stuck to everything it came into contact with, within seconds.

From medical to veterinary, rock climbing to forensic science, the uses of superglue are endless.

The British comedian, Peter Kay, has a famous sketch where he describes the Hobnob biscuit as the hardman of the biscuit world. Whereas other biscuits like Rich Tea cry, wither and then quickly disintegrate in a hot cup of tea the hard nut Hobnob is the commando of the biscuit world.

I am going to swear in this blog a lot so ‘biscuit’ will be the new swear word of choice.
