    About 30 mins after eating asparagus my wee absolutely stinks. Is it just me?

    That's the thing, they didn't even do that! So, either they were crappy asparagus, or my sense of taste and smell have gone to pot.

    Locked myself out of my apartment... again.
    Needed milk so got the baby into the pram despite his best efforts to squirm away, realised as soon as I closed the door that I'd left the keys on the table.
    Milk that should cost 75 cents suddenly cost me 150 euro and a 45 minute wait for a smug locksmith who told me I should try be more careful and always check i have my keys before leaving the apartment.
    Thank you Captain Obvious for pointing that out. Here I was thinking how much fun being locked out with a newborn wailing is ��

    Porklife congratulations ,delighted to hear you have had the baby.Boy or girl.Sorry if ive missed it

    I subscribed to a new magazine, issue #1, the day it was available, and after a month of waiting, I ended up getting two copies of issue #2. Apparently with every subscription you buy, you'll receive a copy of the next month instead of the first month, so unless you physically go to a shop to buy it, you'll never receive the first issue.

    The problem with this, for me, is the magazine I'm subscribed to is fair difficult to find in shops, which is the whole reason I subscribed online in the first place. I ended up wasting my entire credit on their landline asking for it to be sorted out. They said they'll send me a copy of the first issue and extend my subscription by an extra month.

    DON'T ADVERTISE A NEW MAGAZINE IF YOU CAN'T GET THE FIRST ISSUE ONLINE - DOPES.

    Yes, I still buy print magazines. :D

    I love asparagus and have a big bed ready and prepared for planting in the autumn or spring. Then wait till the third year before I can harvest it.

    Had some in my old garden and used to eat the delicious spears raw straight from the plant sometimes.

    Grilled and served with bacon and a poached egg is also delicious. You wouldn't touch shop bought asparagus once you have tasted fresh from the plant.

    Same with cherries, but beggars can't be choosers.

    But asparagus, the white ones especially, can still be delicious (although I agree with you, they lose a lot of flavour after picking) - I've bought freshly picked ones from places that had them in vats of water, they were to die for. These Lidl ones were dire.

    This year and last, we've been getting it direct from a farm - picked that day.
    It's expensive but it's a treat for a few weeks of the year.
    We ate, literally kilos of the stuff!

    Dear God. I can't believe I didn't think of that when I got married. Asparagus would have definitely been on the menu :pac:

    Same in mine. It's so you don't forget your key in the car.

    TA'd when apps you've been using for a long time force you to update and the update is full of annoying, intrusive ads.

    I had a freak-out with black stools a couple of years ago.

    Black (or white) stools are supposed to be the two you should really worry about. Internal bleeding shows up as black stools.

    Turned out to be a stupid charcoal-infused black burger bun I ate at a restaurant that was trying too hard to be cool.

    White? :eek: haven't known of a white one since the white dog poo phenomenon of the 1980s.

    I once dropped a glass one litre bottle of beetroot juice right at the tills in a big Tesco and it exploded everywhere. It looked like a horror movie with the deep red on the white tiles, and all the grannies were gathering around saying, oh Lord Jesus what's happened, Mary and Joseph help us would you lòok at that. And it went absolutely everywhere, took ages to clean with threee of us doing it, and the streaks from wiping looked like bloody handprints dragged across the floor :)

    IIRC, white (or very light coloured faeces) are a symptom of pancreatic problems.

    no its a Toyota Yaris... annoying as hell - and no need for it imo. like as if you would forget your car keys.. I'd actually love an alarm for when you leave your lights on.. there is one but it only sounds inside the car.. not much use if you get out v fast.. as a result I have left my lights on a few times... hope my battery is ok... my previous Yaris had such an alarm but you could hear it clearly when outside the car.. much better grr..
