Perfect example of deflation, Totje, and somehow I doubt that quantitative easing, otherwise known as printing money and dropping it from helicopters, is likely to work on this one….

Hi C&C just passing through most of the time.
Anorak getting quiet makes it easier to resist the addiction.

But isn’t it interesting how the 108 reasons went down to 60?
1 year from now it’ll be 20…..soon nothing is left

I wish I’d kept Baby’s First Jar from the Bounty pack, instead of eating it before we’d even looked at the leaflets, coupons and whathaveyou. I still have the empty tiny jar somewhere in the loft though, and am mildly proud of myself for successfully resisting the temptation to taste the Sudocrem as well.

I was given a jar for Valentie’s June but its still unopened….. Deep down I’m an old romantic!

did you try the Champagne Marmite for last Valentines day? I still do alcohol and caffeine, but ditched the nicotine ages back

Aaaaah Magnetite, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine…. I remember them well. Sadly those avenues of enjoyment have all been closed to me. I probably shan’t live longer but it’ll sure feel like it! Boo Boom.
I still have the marmite though…..

coolandcalm, I used to love Holland and Barratt fruit teas back when I deserved to have taste buds. Years of strong coffee, eating marmite directly from the spoon and smoking like it was going out of fashion have dulled more than one of my senses. Enjoy those teas.

FWIW, I reckon TB’s heart is in the right place.
For Madeleine.

Ah I see. mr Bennet is making the false claim C&C claims he’s making money of the book ‘60 reasons’, because she didn’t say that.
And how would we even know he’s making a profit out of it or not?
Why did he even write it? For the few forum idiots who want to buy the Messias’ tales? To get his name in the papers? To attract McC’s lawyers attention? Because it won’t serve justice, on the contrary.
So I also think he’s imo an ambulance-chaser, and even a very dangerous one who might hinder by his actions the [investigation by the] authorities.
Now sue me Tony or send me a letter.

Magnetite

I was given a tea-box this week filled with an assortment of flavoured teas.

Now do ‘It’s Christmas In Heaven’ from The Meaning Of Life. Go on, it’ll be seasonal and everything. What? That was really Graham Chapman? Wow, he was good, wasn’t he? I’d rather read his notes to the milkman and assorted shopping lists than this.

Speaking of lists, I present my 6 Tea Reasons (six reasons to have a cup of tea) available for free below:

6) Those biscuits look too dry to eat without one.
5) Tannins, flavanoids and antioxidants abound within the humble cuppa.
4) It’s tea-time (of course).
3) You’ve just been in a mild accident or limited peril.
2) You are my mother, or the vicar.
1) You don’t really care for coffee.

Irreverent? Yes. Puerile? Yes. Just as likely to help find that poor kid? Probably.
