The Raven Demands A Garibaldi

Which might make you think that today will be very biscuity around deWeyden place. You will have to read on and find out. My step mother makes a wonderful fruit slice of pastry- mincemeat - pastry and icing instead of mince pies at Christmas. I have now discovered that in the mode of calling Garibaldis Squashed Fly Biscuits, these Christmassy goodies are known as Flys' Graveyards. None of which puts me off either Garibaldis or my step mother's fruit slices. This from Alexei Sayle:-

'It's quite interesting, y'know, the number of biscuits that are named after revolutionaries...You've got your Garibaldi of course, you've got your Bourbons then of course you've got your Peak Freens' Trotsky Assortment. Revolutionary biscuits of Italy Rise up out of your box!You have nothing to lose but your wafers Yum yum yum yum yum!'

Remember that? Is your name Toxteth O'Grady? Are you hanging from a lamppost?

Sorry! Where was I? Oh yes! Running a Windows console application as a service under XP. That's much more interesting isn't it?
