half man half biscuit - fitzbilly silly challenge

When WiryMan announced his retirement last Saturday, fitzbilly refused to accept his decision and “requested” an interpretation of Half ManHalf Biscuit. 

Now as it happens WiryMan is a big fan of HMHB, and has bootleg C60s of ‘Back in the DHSS’ and ‘I left my heart in Papworth General’.

He was intrigued to learn that the request came from the Cotswolds - he had imagined that the raw anger and uncompromising lyrics of, say, ‘the Trumpton Riots’ might frighten the horses in such a genteel part of the world.

Although his interest was piqued, he played the prima donna by demanding that one of Anniemay’s ‘flatnob’ biscuits take on the bakery role.  (Flatnobs are a cross between hobnobs and flapjacks - see extra).

I was unable to agree to this (the builders having eaten the last batch) but I did persuade him that Macvitie’s had the required acting chops for this particular gig.  Unfortunatley the budget didn’t stretch to brand names and I substituted a supermarket own-name digestive at the last minute.  He couldn’t tell. 

So fitzbilly, after a lot of cajoling and dressing room riders, here you have it - for one Saturday only - WiryMan as half manhalf biscuit.


And keep on rockin’ in the Cotswolds.
