Thanks Steve. The icing was very well done & the record actually had grooves but everybody wanted to eat it so I'll never know what it was (Sugar Sugar?)Quote:

Frightening thought, John Henshaw is the same age as me.
Could have been worse, it could have been McArthur Park. They left that cake out in the rain you know.Quote:

Yes that would be much better :)
I probably shouldn't be talking about cakes, I've been cake-free for 2 months now. But my sponsor thinks the more I talk about it the better. Cravings have reduced quite a bit, though I find I'm smoking more to compensate. Small price to pay I suppose.
Thanks for the new avatar Marco, this pic was for your eyes only, and a few select friends. Now you've made it public, how will I ever be able to show my face at the Masonic lodge? I'm not even a full member yet.
The twelfth step is the hardest, where you have to go round and apologise to everyone for eating their cakes.Quote:

The vet gave me a scrip so I'm back down to two chocolate eclairs a day. Feeling strong enough now that I think I can cut down it to one by the end of the month.
Resplendent in pink, dahling...:DQuote:

Thank you for sharing. A truly inspirational story.Quote:

I don’t quite know what to say about this, so I’m just leaving it here. The caption did say it was fully functional. So where does one buy the tiny records?

Amazon(ian Shrunken Heads). The catalogue is quite small, but they've just added "Giant" by Rag 'n' Bone Man/Calvin Harris. Gonna be huge.
Just got this worktop saver [emoji4]

Marco.
Not a suntan mate - I warned Mrs. Pony to bin that week-old kebab. As a result she had a ten second warning in the wee small hours, and as she climbed over me to get to the bog, did the mother of all wet trumps on my face. I slept through it, and by morning it had dried on, and nothing will shift it. There was a very tasty little pip stuck to my nose though, which I couldn't resist :)Quote:

While I'm on here, can anyone tell me if it's possible to view the selling history of a particular item on ebay?
Yes. Use the advanced search and tick the sold box.Quote:

Ha, I used to go for a regular evening pint in the local, but not done it for about six years. Mainly because the pubs round here are total crap now and I need to keep an eye on the money anyway.Quote:

Havent had a drink for a couple of years...certainly feels that long [emoji23]
Lol - the idea is that you choose something difficult to give up, so it tests your willpower. In reality, in that respect, I'd be harder for me to have given up listening to music, watching TV or posting on here for six weeks, than alcohol. I don't really miss it, save when I sit down to a nice Sunday lunch with a glass of mineral water, rather than Margaux!Quote:

Marco.
Forgive my ignorance, but is Lent a Catholic thing? I, and most people I come across aren't Catholics, but I know lots of these folk have "given something up" for Lent. I suppose lots of people embrace it for other reasons, making lifestyle changes, albeit temporary, rather like that most temporary of changes, the New Year resolutions.
I have given up pancakes for Lent, and as I didn't have any on Shrove Tuesday, Lent will be particularly lengthy this year.
Talking about pancakes has now made me want some, so sod it, I'm going to make some! I'll just abstain from having them with ice cream :)
I actually did have a pancake on pancake day this year, first time in decades. It was from Asda though :(
Never tried shop-bought ones, I assume you would just microwave them for a few minutes.
I should give them a go - the shittest part of pancake days for me is that I get the job of making them, which means about an hour of making the damned things for everyone, with just a few minutes eating them.
About 30 seconds in the microwave.
Prefer the American style short stack with butter, ice cream and maple syrup myself. Could eat that right now in fact.
Read post #2941, daftee. You quoted me saying that it was a Catholic thing... Pay attention at the back!;)Quote:

I know you said that, but I was questioning whether it might extend to other varieties of Christian. My ex missus came from an Irish Catholic family, and they'd do things like not eat meat on a Friday. But they would never have given up alcohol for Lent. No way.Quote:

As I said, giving up alcohol for 6 weeks really isn't that big a deal. as alcohol doesn't rule my life. In fact, I'm not addicted to anything. I miss having a few glasses of wine with a nice meal at home, and if we're going out to a country pub, I miss having a pint of real ale, but that's it.
It would be much harder giving up home-cooked food, and eating ready meals, or Mc Donalds for 6 weeks!!:eek::spew:
