I felt I detected a teensy hint of scepticism earlier when I mentioned the Guardian's long ago sensational scoop about the connection between Spike and the late Queen Mother, so I thought you might like to read it for yourselves.

Shocking revelations behind cut







Bet you never realised Weetabix was that interesting, did you?

:D Every time I walk past a shelf of Weetabix, I start grinning like mad! Every. Single. Time! Without fail.

:) Pity it tastes like wallpaper paste, isn't it?

Try him with Shredded Wheat. I expect the effect is pretty similar. :)

Also, at least the Queen Mum still had her own teeth. Not bad going for 1000, or however old she was when she died.

Sounds like I should be happy we don't have them in Sweden, eh...? ;-)

[shapinglight]

What, Weetabix?

Frankly, whatever Spike may say, you're not missing anything.

So ... the Queen Mother is a vampire, right?

[gillo]

Until she was dusted in 2004, when Charles found out the real reason she was still going strong at 102.

[shapinglight]

By George! I never thought of that.

*hoots* Nice one. :D

:) Can't beat an oldie but a goodie.

Oh that's perfect. Bless the Grauniad. And you, for keeping and posting.

[shapinglight]

Bless the Grauniad.

I wonder if Lucy Mangan wrote the copy?

[gillo]

Brilliant - but it's scary that his vamp teeth are slightly better than hers.

I always wondered about the "texture" aspect - Weetabix really just makes things soggy. Perhaps the writers really meant Shredded Wheat, which does have texture?

Thanks for the clip!

To be fair, there isn't a big age difference. :)

Bwahaha :)

I loved the weetabix moment on Buffy because to me it was like Britain's national food. I was so glad when they first started to appear in local supermarkets.

[shapinglight]

Did you actually try it? Horrid stuff. Tastes like wallpaper paste.

[flake-sake.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I really really like it. Not alone, but with bananas and maple syrup it's very yummy (it kinda soaks up other tasts and blends them, so it makes perfect sense Spike would use it for blood :D).

I have to admit, I really really like it.

Ah, okay. I don't mind it myself too much either, as long as it's with warm milk and plenty of sugar, but it still has the texture of wallpaper paste.

Now if you had kept that to yourself it would have made an excellent quiz question at WriterConUK...

[shapinglight]

True, but maybe everyone will have forgotten by next summer?

[quinara]

THIS IS AWESOME!! Heeeeee...

[spikesdeb.livejournal.com]

*snigger* This gave me happy thoughts. Thanks for the memories :)

[shapinglight]

My pleasure. :)

[ex_peasant441]

This is why I love you - you kept something like this.


Spike saying he likes the texture in his blood is bringing horrible images into my mind of him using Fybogel...
