new terror
Who would have thought that danger was lurking on the outside of every fridge? As the list of harmful things approaches infinity, I have found something new to fear, take note of this warning.
On a more reassuring note, this chocolate is gorgeous. Didn't think I'd like it, but I did. Worth every penny and a lot of pennies it was too.
Strange as it sounds, I haven't quite recovered from hearing about John Peel. I've been thinking about him all day and how important a part of my teenage years he was. The first time I heard Hand In Glove was on his show. I was surprised that Ms Ginger Cake was sad too, but it makes perfect sense-who else was playing reggae on a national radio way back when? More recently, I enjoyed listening to Home Truths and I know he would have understood my obsession with cheesy bugs. The saddest thing for me is that my neice will be fourteen in a few weeks, the same age I was when I used to listen to him all the time and she'll never have the excitement of 'discovering' his show for herself.

What an incredible warning! I now feel both educated and, erm, warned, all in one go!
Thank you for bringing this to the attention of your readership, Mrs M.

Well, once I knew I had no option, it was the only responsible thing to do. Can you imagine how I would have felt if I hadn't said anything and someone who read this blog had gone on to swallow a magnet? It's such an easy thing to do as well, just the other day I had to stop Mr McMuffin absent mindedly swallowing our Elvis magnet collection.

I had some of that chocolate in the summer holidays. It was very nice but a bit... gritty, didn't you think? (I had the Cinnamon one)

If they were big magnets, do you think they'd just get stuck in the stomach instead of going any further? In which case, wouldn't they all get stuck to each other in the one place, thereby making the amount of space available for food in the stomach somewhat smaller? So wouldn't that have a similar effect to having your stomach stapled, and thereby enabling you to slim?
Having said that, I suppose that 'like' poles would keep on rejecting each other, causing the occasional kicking in the stomach, not too dissimilar to a baby kicking in the womb.
Or do I need to take a basic course in anatomy? And physics, too, for that matter? ;-)
