Club still banning the use of dangerous pyros and flares in an attempt to protect fans and players. Outrageous in this land of the free, yet they allow H&S risk assessed and approved pyro displays prior to ko.

Why wasn't my seat heated? Last week it was.

Given that a regular Twix has two bits, but a single Twix when sold in multi packs or miniaturised in Celebrations is also called a Twix, there may be an argument that 'Twix', like 'aircraft' or 'sheep' may remain unchanged in it's plural form.

I always enjoy being out-pedanted, so take a

Yeah I reckon Twix was already in its plural when it was released with 2 bars. A single bar ought to have been called a twi or a wix. 2 x standard Twix ie four bars in 2 packets should just be called 2 Twix as plural, not 2 twixes. Or maybe a quax

Twix means ‘between’, there is no plural

Yes, we beat Marseille last night in the Europa League, yes there were limbs when Joao Pedro scored, yes it was the 100th goal of the calendar year scored by the Albion, yes we topped the group, yes Palace fans were sitting at home drinking two litre bottles of White Lightning whilst watching repeats of Would I Lie to You on Dave... BUT both the North and East stands had run out of Twixes by the end of the game AND there were not enough caps for cups of tea too so they could not serve them either.

We bought twixes along with delectable Lamb Kofta pies. I’ve missed the Amex. The footie was alright as well. Sorry for our contribution to the Europa Twix debacle though.

You should worry. Same in WSL and me and the boy had to suffer vegan KitKats. KatKraps more like. Utterly revolting. No relation to anything edible.

Take consolation, not being able to buy yourself a bar of Twix has probably saved you £50

 

[Eeyore]

Bottle tops were left ON in WSL. Absolute disgrace, club is going down the shitter.

I think that was a trade off for the flairs in the away end.

Or maybe UEFA like bottle tops.

 

[METALMICKY]

I was really bored the other night so I swapped all the Xmas sweets into different wrappers.

My wife wasn't amused and got her snickers in a twix!

 

[Stato]

Fair comment, as further research shows that 'Twix' is actually a portmanteau of 'twin sticks'. This means that it's already plural, but that a single bar would be a stick. Therefore 'Twix' is the plural, but half of one should really be called a 'Twick'.

 

[Jeremiah]

I was feeling sorry for myself as I chose to miss the game but "NO TWIX !" - I feel justified now.

Once again the steak pies were dangerously hot.

The sarcy emoji was aimed at the bit I'd bolded in your quoted post, not your comment about the plural of Twix, which was actually quite convincing . As a rule I almost never comment on people's grammar, especially in an age of unintended, quirky keyboard behaviour. But if someone makes a point of pulling up someone else, I do delight in pointing out their own errors. Sorry. I worked as an editor and proofreader for years and old habits die hard. But in fact, thinking about it, your point about Twix plurals wasn't really critical of the previous poster. So I think I owe you an apology. Forgive me.
