I had a bowl of all the broken bits in the bottom of a box of Special K earlier. Definitely not the best, but under my hungover circumstances, it sufficed.
I wouldn't like to be pinned down to any firm opinions on breakfast cereal in general, at this juncture, however.
That said, Cornflakes are the classic, aren't they.

I can't drink milk, so I don't eat breakfast cereals very often. I eat the occasional cereal bar, but that's probably beyond the scope of this discussion.
ETA: I had Kellogg's Frosties with lemonade once. They were pretty lively.

It's pretty easy, thicker than water but not as thick as most soups. If you focus you should get the hang of it. Trick is to try and be relaxed about it, if you tense up you might have difficulty swallowing. Also don't put too much in your mouth at once, start small and work your way up.

I don't know how this has happened, but you seem to have misinterpreted what I said. This is rather embarrassing for both of us, but do bear with me as I try to explain in slightly more detail.
While I do have the physical capacity to consume milk, I also suffer from some sort of allergy that causes my lips to inflate, blister and even bleed if they come into contact with the aforementioned cow-sourced fluid. This feeling is very unpleasant, so I try to avoid drinking it where possible.

Also, you don't really drink milk when it's poured over cereal. What happens is that quite lot of the milk is soaked up by the cereal (the longer you leave it, the more will be absorbed -- generally speaking you're aiming from a mix that combines softness and crunch, which is one of the main charms of cereal), so you actually eat that milk, rather than drink it. The remaining milk in which the cereal sits or floats can of course be drunk, but generally it's spooned into your mouth as you scoop up the cereal, so, again, you're eating it, like soup, rather than drinking it, which is how you would tackle lager, for example.

Sorry for the confusion!

Ok, but milk is just a soft white goodness full of calcium and vitamins from the grass that cows eat...
...perhaps it could be an abusive partner, waking up before you in the morning, eyes bloodshot from yet another sleepless night, caused by you snoring/fidgeting/stealing the duvet/wanking?
Looking down at your drooling, snoring mole-like face, suddenly flying into an uncontrolled rage and then raining a few blows down right on your cake hole, before running spent into the bathroom for sobs and remorse?
...sure blame the milk if you want, but just have a little think about it eh...

Dearest Tilde,
The continued concern that you demonstrate in your reply is both welcome and genuinely touching, but in this case also rather unnecessary! Excuse me as I delve yet deeper into my description of this phenomenon in the hope that you might take away a greater understanding of its effects on my ridiculous, faulty little body...
As soon as the milk touches my lips, I become aware of a tingling sensation. This builds as the moments pass into what can only be described as a 'raw soreness'. Unless I hasten to rid my lips of the white liquid deposits, they proceed to swell until the fleshy matter within can no longer be contained by the tender layer of surface skin - causing a most horrible tearing. I'll spare you any further description, as I'm well aware of your squeamish nature.
I hope this clarifies the problem, and puts your mind at rest over the thought of spousal abuse. Sometimes I wonder where you get these terrible ideas from! Not from personal experience, I trust.
Your friend in good times and bad, Misc
P.S. Will you be gracing us with your presence at the polo this Sunday? I know the piles can be a terrible burden, but your absence last week was rather frowned upon by many of the old-timers.

Misc, have you considered soymilk? It's not quite a completely disappointing replacement for the cow-sourced white fluid which apparently causes you such labial discomfort.

Well I think we've made some good progress here. Myself and mart have offered some great milk drinking tips, we've dealt with misc's domestic abuse problem, although obviously he's still in the denial stage, we'll just have to bear with him on that I guess and wait for him to break through the other side.
But still we haven't really come to a consensus on just what is the best breakfast cereal.
Posters conspicuous by their absence include:
Kanye I imagine he doesn't eat cereal, probably he has broiled Lark tongues served with a creme de meth coulis. Or Japanese Tea Egg, with tabasco sauce and a focaccia. Or maybe just a diet coke, a pint of resolve and a packet of nurofen.
Thorn and Octavia I Imagine him and Octavia sitting at a round table gently encouraging screaming baby Thorntavia to eat her organic baby porridge at 6.00am. Octavia seems to have a penchant for leftover food, so maybe a stale dumpling, an out of date cheese string and a sherry. Thorn I imagine making a point of eating some unbranded musli, then secretly once he's out the door, guzzling Lucky Charms straight from the box.

Black Mask A self confessed comic loving foodie, BM flagellates himself with a bicycle chain sprocket remover whilst chomping on whatever cereal he picked up from Tescos with the bestest picture of a cartoon character on it.

Dang Goes into the kitchen... no bowls in the cupboard... has to wash up a dirty one that the kids have left in the lounge in front of the TV that's still on even though no one's there. Grabs a packet of cornflakes.. empty, *sigh* tries a packet of weetabix.. nothing but weetadust left.. *sigh* picks up the bran flakes, tips them into his bowl, opens the fridge.. only a pipette full of milk left in the 6 pint carton *sigh*. Decides on a slice of toast instead.. only the nobby left *sigh* says to ex-wife "I've only got a little nobby" ex-wife: *sigh*Posts: 1641

coffee and nurofen usually, maybe a couple of blasts of sudafed spray, and a cigarette. I try not to take codeine in the mornings now, I find that it can leave me feeling a bit too chilled to get work done.

We could just make do with the name Baby 2, which is going to be its RL name if it's a boy.
Breakfast is muesli. Supermarket own brand: one half Taste the Difference, the other half Basics. Makes it go further. Muesli and a cup of tea. So a fairly accurate guess from Tilde. He was dead wrong about the kid, though. The trick isn't so much getting her to eat, as getting her to stop. Her breakfast is Weetabix, toast with marmalade, and banana.

There's something ridiculous about a sugar free Red Bull. Surely it's not really the sugar that's bad for you? It's not the sugar that leads countries to ban it, is it?

What if Portal 2 or Half Life 2 Episode 3 are going to be released the week after the opening ceremony? You don't want to miss out on those by killing yourself in front of millions of onlookers.

Well, this is even more reason to look after your health! You don't want to die before you kill yourself.

Someone has run onto the pitch with a loudspeaker. It's a woman with a loudspeaker. She's about to speak, security have stopped as she clearly has an important message to pass on to all the millions of watchers.
"I'm sorry but Kanye cannot be here today. He's feeling quite ill and has a really bad hangover. He's got an awful cough as well and just doesn't feel quite up to disembowling himself for your entertainment. He's going to get some rest and hopefully he'll be better by Monday"
