I have just eaten a box of Cadbury's milk chocolate fingers and I'm contemplating opening a Terry's Chocolate Orange.

I'm sure (hope) this pales into insignificance next to your best (worst?) efforts...

Or just call me a bat fastard.

Ah but... you don't really get THAT many fingers in a box of Cadbury's fingers these days do you. I think you're fine to start on the Orange.

From 22:00hrs on Friday evening until 12:40hrs on Saturday, it was strictly Nil by Mouth for me.
Apart from some squirts of banana/fishy-flavoured numbing spray followed by a thingy with pretty lights on the end of a length of shower hose.

Fun fun fun. frown

On the positive side, I was safely sheltered from the Wrath of Amy. cloud9

The results of the biopsies should be revealed in two to four weeks' time.

I used to think all inclusive package holidays were far too chavvy for me..

..until I went on one and enjoyed myself so much I came back with gout

I very rarely have chocolate in the house for this reason - I don't have an off switch for trays of chocolates, maltesers, jaffa cakes, any chocolate in fact.

When i was 17-18 i used to go out on a friday night, drive home and sit watching late night TV into the early hours. I'd get a loaf of sliced white, a jar of peanut butter and carry the toaster into the lounge and work my way through the entire loaf slathered with Sunpat's finest while watching Moviedrome, Hit Man and Her, and The Word.

Don't think i could do it these days

On a trip to Amsterdam in the early 90s severe munchies kicked in.

I ate a KFC family bucket including the chips and vienetta.

Myself and my wife, when we first got together decided to go to Amsterdam

Predictably we got absolutely mashed and then got the mega-munchies after we had stopped laughing our heads off.

We went to a local supermarket, filled a basket full of crap (crisps, sweets etc) got back to the hotel. Demolished that, then worked our way through the basket of chocolate treats in the hotel room.....then ordered a Pizza !

Never again....was funny though. biggrin

I had to stop keeping chocolate in the house because there was a time I would wake up in the night and remember there was chocolate in the fridge, then go and get it and get back into bed. I would start eating the chocolate then fall asleep, then awake in the morning and find melted chocolate over my face and pillow and in Mr hair. My current addiction is the yuzu lemon Jaffa cakes.

A family member (not related), goes out with us from time to time for an Indian at a restaurant.
He will ask EVERYONE at the table when they've appeared to have finished 'Are you eating that?'
He will ask and eat what they leave.
He's 50, 5'9", and about 20-22 stone.

My wife when at BTaP won Porsche driving experience for herself at Silverstone with a 3 course lunch for 2 in the raffle which was delicious.

We then went out for dinner with her parents that night for another 3 course meal at a nice steak restaurant.
The chocolate fudge cake at the end was unnessesary. hehe

It's a fine line between "Bon goût" and bad gout, and no mistake. biggrin

We were on a cruise a few years ago, standing on the deck and it hit me. We were pointlessly sailing around burning thousands of tons of fuel, food was available 24 hours a day, and every where I looked there were big plastic bins just full of bottles and cans of drink.

I said to my partner this was the definition of consumption, and in decades to come people are going to look back in amazement that we lived like this and thought it was just normal.

Was Mr hair very annoyed?

I went on a 4 day trip to the lovely Melia Durres hotel in Albania last year with my dad and my 2 brothers.

We had all inclusive so we would hit the buffet at 7 for food and pudding, then go for a full 3 course meal straight after.

I apparently came back visibly fatter despite it only being 4 days and I ran every morning…
