Egg Orientation

Red_in_SE8

When you have a boiled egg for breakfast which way up do you put the egg in the egg cup? Thick end up or thick end down? I need to know! It is important!

These high brow technical discussions are usually way over my head but as an occasional egg eater I can recommend the thick end down.

Thick end down

I am with MCS, thick end down

Always thick end down. There is an ancient law stipulating this you know.

Way more fun to go upstairs, hang out the skyline and lob them at passersby.

Then eat some bacon.

I was always told thin end down because it's easier then to get your soldiers in.

Careful now guys, wars have started over this sort of thing.

OK, so it was only in Gulliver's Travels, but you can't be two careful. :-)

This is fucking madness, it's thick end down, that's the way it is.

But this makes perfect sense.

Don't you cut your soldiers to suit the egg?

I guess I do, but a wider hole would give me the flexibility to go with a chunkier soldier. I feel like I've wasted 40 years.

I don't think we want to persue this further Morts.

Anyone with any class would put thick end down.

Depends on the size of your egg cup and the size of your marmite soldiers....

MCS

Marmite soldiers eh!! Thats a new one for me, have to give that a blast.
