I've found saying that Churchillian comment with a tinny and clipped 1940s wireless voice, really sounds convincing. I imagine saying it with one of Tim's biscuits in your mouth would replicate the effects of a cigar muffling the speech nicely too. And if you ate several tins of the biscuits, you'd be well on your way to a slightly rotund Churchillian physique. These biscuits certainly could transform your life!

Yesterday, June 5, 2008 - a date which will live in gluttony - Dale Slamma was suddenly and deliberately sent biscuits by the cooking and packaging forces of Tim T.

This is a better Churchillian version, technically. "Never in the field of biscuit bakery has Dale Slamma owed so much to Tim T."

Hitler, JFK and FDR like biscuits too.
