    Marrow Hunter

    I quite agree: marrow is a disgusting vegetable, and deserves to be hunted to extinction!

    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

    I used to be conceited, but now I'm perfect!

    Sporting Gaffes

    A couple more... sorry I can't remember who said them: "Now we're just in time to see the pole-vault coming over the satellite" "Steve Cram is well in the lead, but out of sight round the bend you can see......"

    Epitaphs

    Don't know where this is from, but I believe it really exists: Here lies John Bunn He was killed by a gun, His name was not Bunn, but Wood, But Wood would not rhyme with gun But Bunn would. And I think this one was made up just for fun: Here a glassblower lies at rest Who one day burst his...

    Red Quinoa - what do I do with it?

    My experience of it was at a conference centre, so presumably they knew how to prepare it. One or two of the vegetarians at the conference ate it with no complaints, but a good half of those present took one mouthful and found it more than enough. Yuk! Its not just the taste but the texture...

    starting Victoza injections

    Everyone is different, so give it a go and see how it works out for you. I was initially put on Byetta and couldn't tolerate it....was swapped to Victoza after a couple of months and after initial nausea settled down everything was fine, now been on it a couple of years. It will depress your...

    What to do with empty test strip pots?

    I use one as a receptacle for dead hearing aid batteries. I also thought they might be useful for storing garden seeds, but I'm not sure if the drying agent built into them would be good for this, or bad.

    Victosa side effects

    I've been on Victoza for more than 2 years now, and do get bouts of diarhhoea fairly frequently. But I'm also still on Metformin which I never tolerated well, and I put the trots down to the Met. (Also on Gliclazide, but I don't think I'ver ever had side effects from that. I happen to be on...

    Gliclazide

    I always take mine (and my Metformin) with my breakfast and evening meal...not before it. That's what I was told to do and I've been doing it for years with no ill effects (apart from the usual Metformin ones!). The personalised label on the box just says to take twice daily, and the leaflet...

    Elephant Jokes

    How do you stop an elephant crawling through a keyhole? Tie a knot in its tail! How do you know that the elephants are in the same swimming team? They all have grey trunks!

    Alphabet by Alliteration Game

    Irene Ibbotson is in Iceland introducing international igloo-improvement initiatives. I imagine it is increasingly irritating if itinerant interlopers irresponsibly interrupt important informative intelligence items. Ideally Irene ignores interfering idiots, idolising ingenious intellectuals...

    Ghastly George greedily gobbled gherkins, grreengages and grapes, then gurgled gratingly, giving gorgeous Gabriella the giggles.

    Its my birthday on monday and were going out for a meal, help!

    If its really a one-off, of course its OK. You're new to this, so I hesitate to encourage you to fall off the wagon at an early stage, but my philosophy is that having what you really fancy once a year isn't going to do too much damage, and it will be something to look forward to, and...

    Problems with Mac/Safari?

    Yep; there have been world-wide problems today. If you use a Mac you may be finding you can't use Safari to search the web. The problem is known to Apple, and there will be a permanent fix in due course, but if you need a temporary fix go to Safari Preferences, then Search, then disable...
