    Lately at the weekend when I'm in the midst of my late night gorge festival, I finish my tayto cheese and onion sandwich and just can't resist making another one straight away. The white bread, the real butter and the tayto cheese and onion is just a match made in heaven. Why must it be unhealthy? Why? *bawls crying* :pac:

    You're all giving me the munchies and my choices are a bread stick or a cracker. It's no wonder I'm drinking!

    How bad! I love bread sticks dipped in butter! they would great with beer!

    Seph, you're a genius! Sure the cholesterol will melt from my arteries with the beery butter.

    Tell Duvet. :pac:

    I've never had my cholesterol checked. I should probably go for a check up some time although I'll probably have this thought again in two years time. :D

    Once you turn 40 you'll be hard pressed to get out of a gp surgery without a cholesterol check and an ecg. I can only guess that come my next birthday they'll be doing cognitive capacity testing on me as well.

    I can't remember when I last had a check up with the GP but it's a very long time ago. Should probably get around to it.

    I only go if I'm unwell now. About once a year or so. They nab me with a needle and the ecg machine when I get in there. This is followed up about three weeks later with a phone call from the practice nurse:'pre-diabetic, blah, blah. Cholesterol borderline, blah blah'. In other words, my cholesterol and blood sugar are at the higher end of normal. Annoy me when there's actually something to worry about. I don't drink or smoke and have absolutely no social life at all since I became a carer. No one is taking my only pleasure and vice (aside from what I share with Mr Sardi, obviously ) away from me.

    I'd kill for a tayto samgwidge right now. ...

    (That sentence auto corrected to "kill gorgeous a tautology!" I think I should dust off my philosophy books again.)

    I thought Golden Wonder crisps were a thing from my youth.
    Don't see them round these parts anymore.
    Walkers are awful, the taste of oil off them.

    To thine own self be true

    My diet isnt great but its definitely hereditary also,my dad and younger brother both got stints in the last couple of years. Butter is definitely a huge problem for me,I just love it,I could pick up a teeny weeny piece of bread and put about half a pound of butter on it,I just love it.
    Is a life of green leafy veg,pulses and oats even worth living?
    Seph, you're a genius! Sure the cholesterol will melt from my arteries with the beery butter.

    Tell Duvet. :pac:

    I use to butter my ex's toast sometimes and I don't use that much butter myself, I scrape it on sparingly and anytime I would butter her toast for her she'd give me some look, as if to say, "ya spread a bit more on there now fella" 🤣🤣
    Come into my parlour said the duvet to the dude...��

    *walks into the parlour innocently*

    Oh hey there duvet.......watcha doing with that whip there and that butter......? 😜

    Really? Best practice now is for everyone over 40 to have one included in their annual check up. Maybe it's cos I'm a fatso.

    I may even have written that down in an exam. Pity I can't make it make sense to me anymore. Definitely going to do an hour of philosophy reading a day from now on. My brain has turned to sludge.

    They can fUK right off with that. I unfortunately did not spend my youth living me age for reasons too dark or too dull to go into here. Once I'm free from my role as carer I fully intend to live it to its fullest. 25 here I come again.

    I should go to bed. Should I bring the ancient Greek fella, the 18th century Scottish fella or the 19th century Danish lad. I could always bring the 20th century French/Algerian...
