      Hit me with an organic venti chocolate brownie caramel mochacchino, extra hot with one inch of foam, non-fat.

  2. Mum, 72, had a heart attack yesterday; she's in hospital and seems ok, but suddenly heart attack jokes don't seem so funny...

      Sorry to hear about that. My father had a heart attack just before last Christmas. The good news is that with modern medicine he is actually healthier now than he was before...

      Thank you; it does seem to be so common now that the Doctors were almost casual about the diagnosis...

  3. Could use a Pangalactic Gargleblaster right about now...

  10. Nearly blinded by a cyclist following my car last night with one of those super-bright quick-flashing headlight thingys...can't be legal, surely; what about people with photo-sensitive epilepsy?

      There's a bloke near us who uses one of those insanely bright headlamp things, and it's incredibly dazzling.

      I don't see how it can be stopped or mitigated unless someone tells the cyclist concerned about the effect of their flashing light, whether that's the unfortunate person affected by it, or a police officer (who might also have been adversely affected by it)...

      Being a former cyclist, I think the modern cyclist is his own worst enemy, red lights, undertaking, cutting in between traffic etc.etc. I got my eyes opened when I was commuting through Glasgow city a few years ago, absolute idiots some of them.

      I remember those! They disappeared in the late 70's/early 80's I think - they resurfaced as Romany Creams IIRC, but I don't think they exist now...

      Some people round here are also quite partial to the "5 a day" packs of own-brand ones that Morrisons do.

       

      They might not be quite the same, but at least most of them are based around fruit - raspberry - strawberry - apple - lemon - fruit salad.

       

      (OK - I know their "fruit salad" is more like flavoured custard - but you get the idea.)
