Not exactly a blog, but currently number 1 on the ‘BBC Most Popular’ countdown: “Daughter’s Poo Made Me Obese”.

It raises the possibility that the generous of girth – who sometimes get short shrift here – may have another excuse for loading their shopping-trolley with stuffed-crust extra-loaded pizzas & mega-tubs of pudding: it was their gut-bacteria what made ‘em do it. Possibly.-

Presumably if you are extremely skinny, you could now make a fortune on the Dieting Circuit by selling shit.

Someone told me that this Post of mine made them cry for the truth as well as the past, so I recommend it for their sake. Honest.

Apparently supermarkets are being ‘asked’ (ie legislation next year)to separate displays of flowers and vegetables to ensure no ‘unwary shoppers’ (ie what we used to call ‘DIPSHITS’) poison themselves by mistaking daffs for onions or spring onions.
Don’t laugh (if you can whilst faceplaming).
It isn’t funny, come next Mothering Sunday Little Snoop-Jordan is going to get carded when he tries to buy that bunch of Daffs for Mommy…..-

Stage 3: Daffodils are declared a class 2 drug. Ownership is banned within the UK.
Stage 4: Daffodils are declared a weapon of mass destruction.

It’s not exactly surprising that these big organisations get confused.
“There is an important exception to the above- very strong liqueur chocolates. The Licensing Act 2003 (section 191) states liqueur confectionery means confectionery that-
(a) Contains alcohol in a proportion not greater than 0.2 litres of alcohol (of a strength not exceeding 57%) per kilogram of the confectionery
and
(b) either consists of separate pieces weighing not more than 42g or is designed to be broken into such pieces for the purposes of consumption
In other words, three variants of liqueur chocolate would be classed as alcohol:
• Chocolates containing liqueur stronger than 57% ABV
• Chocolates housing a lot of booze- more than 0.2 litres per kilogram
• A great big block, rather than lots of little chocolates
This is a common sense clause, designed to separate the majority of liqueur chocolates from highly alcoholic confectioneries.Strong liqueur chocolates that exceed these limits are classed as alcohol, are a licensable product and fall within the 18+ age restriction for alcohol. These strong liqueur chocolates, usually specialist luxury chocolates, are the products that Vince Cable referred to in his 2011 statement. With regards to liqueur confectionery, the Licensing Act 2003 has not yet been amended, and it is unlikely to be in the near future.

Did you know you have to be over 12 to but Xmas Crackers… and that until very recently the age was 16?

If they expand it to become the ‘Daffodil & Violet Licensing Authority’, they’ll have finally found a productive use for the DVLA.
(I recall that DAF once produced a model called the ‘Daffodil’ and Datsun made one called the ‘Violet’, so the DVLA is part way there already. Carefully placing anorak back on hanger in wardrobe…..)

I have long thought that daffodil flowers were edible. Just as well that I never got drunk on St.David’s Day…
