Throw down your nose files, hold up your hands and wave them together to celebrate

INTERNATIONAL RANDOM DOUGHNUT DAY!

Yes indeed, for no reason whatsoever I hereby declare this day International doughnut day! Go buy a doughnut and sing their virtues, better yet buy a pile load of doughnuts and give them to your work chums - you'd be amazed how pleased yet slightly disturbed they are when you tell them why.

But why doughnuts? Well they have been under pressure in the news, for being fattening, for all those sleaze allegations and even for their part in supplying components for the Iraqi supergun - but I for one am willing to forgive them for their soft, squishy sugary texture and their dangerous payload of shirt covering jam/custard/chocolate/etc.

But, where can you worship these doughnuts even more? Why by at the SHRINE OF THE HOLY Doughnut, the wheeled cart that appears, magically so they say, in Camden down by the food court - it is truly a Mecca to those who appreciate sugar and hate size zero.

So! What is your favourite doughnut, For myself I will choose two, because I invented this day so it's my rules bucko!

My first doughnut, the luxury decadence doughnut, is the coffee glazed and coffee filled chocolate sprinkled doughnut. Lush
My second doughnut are those ickle dinky doughnuts you get at fairs, just large enough to fit on a finger before you chomp

All hail the doughnut!

Ah OK. Did you see those caffeinated donuts a few weeks ago? Was on Yahoo news.

See you tonight, I'll be at SC around 11, I hope. Sadly on my own, as M has something better to do. :o(

I usually associate doughnuts with Channukah, but I don't mind having them again. :)

Your rambling monologue is my command. They do indeed look pleased. They're long past looking disturbed when I tell them 'the Internet told me to do it' though.

Maybe they're just too busy thinking of doughnuts!

I do a famous desert that includes a donut ... called the Ringer Dinger - i used to work in a complex making freeesh donuts (actually making them, not just pressing 'go' on the machine like most places nowadays) and the restaurant used to do this diet-busting sweet ... cant tell ytou what's in it until it arrives on your plate!
