Strange compulsion

At the age of 50 why do I suddenly find myself feeling the urge to buy a Humpty Dumpty toy just like the one I had as a child?

Hi Webchat, welcome to the Fforum. It is a while since we have needed to remember where we left the drinks trolley, but I am sure that you will find it and please help yourself.
As always pies are available, today the sweet are to the left and the savoury to the right.

In answer to your question, does it matter? Just get one!

I say a Mr Bump beanie in the university book shop earlier and almost caved to its power. It's just something that happens.

Whilst in Cornwall I bought some Chilli and Lime flavored Chocolate.

It was very moreish but unfortunately a 300 mile drive to get some more won't do much for me.

I have a compulsion to eat crusty thick white bread heavily buttered and with slabs of crunchy peanut paste and blackcurrant jam.

Am I abnormal?

And if not, why not?

Crusty thick white bread heavily buttered and with slabs of crunchy peanut paste and blackcurrant jam is improved with just a dash of black pepper.
I kid you not.

Bah. Coward. T'was a braver one than thou who first ate an oyster, which is no reason to reject hardboiled eggs, honey and marmite.

Live a little.




Just a little longer.



Maybe.

We all know very well why you want it. Just go and buy one for God's sake; at 50 who's going to judge you?

Sorry, it's a question?
