Isn't every time, except perhaps when one is talking directly to Nicky, a good time to mention cats? :-)

Nobody's mentioned chocolate recently, so I'm going to do so now...
CHOCOLATE :-)

Chocolate!

You mean people, I'm still on that diet....

(By the way, it's not working very well. I've lost one whole pound in a week and a half... I've certainly 'not eaten' more than one pounds worth of things I wanted to eat!!!!!!)

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

Sarah - When something isn't working well, stop doing it and do something else. No use pouring all that effort into a plan that is not giving it's best effort back to you. I mean really, you've been so loyal and what has that diet done for you, nothing but a pound in a week and a half. I'd get rid of it and be done with it!

Sarah B, I am sending you seven half pound bars of virtual Galaxy. That's one a day for a week to take the edge off your appetite. Whenever you feel the craving for 'real' chocolate (a poor imitation of e-chocolate), just take the time to unwrap one of these quality virtual bars. Sniff the aroma. Delicately nibble or gorge, it makes no difference; all the calories are strained out by the broadband. Enjoy.

Should you prefer a different brand of e-chocolate, I can arrange for alternatives to be sent.

Tracy, which chocolates go best with red wine?

Dave R - the darker the chocolate the better.

Strawberries dipped in said dark chocolate is almost perfect.

Thanks Dave, for the e-chocolate, and Tracy, for the kind words.

I'll be sticking with the diet until the e-chocolate runs out, and then I'll re-assess the situation I think.

Problem is I can't give up yet - the thought of collapsing on a hill in the middle of the Pennines does not appeal to me.

Done it a few times, Queen of Fairies (BTW if sick of that just say so).

I used to go cycling in NW Derbyshire for 60 to 90 mile runs, and the hill that always got me is the one coming out of Hathersage towards Sheffield. It isn't as big as a lot of other hills in Derbyshire but :-
1) It was the last one going home
2) You cannot see the top until the very last moment.

Hence I used to take the hill from Ladybower into Crosspool, 1300 feet rather than 1200 from memory. Smooth slope and a summit you could see from way off.

Snake Pass is a doddle from the East as it's a very gentle slope to 1600 feet except the last 300 or so, from the West it's grim determination as it's about one in eight. Highest is Holme Moss, and least practical is Winnats' Pass - about a 900 foot rise at one in five pretty much all the way. Walk up it, and your heels won't touch the ground.

Every pound counts - eat e-chocs, so good for you.

Must follow own advice ---

Dear Tracy, attached half a dozen strawberries from the e-fridge, I've melted some Bournville plain over them - dark enough to make your tongue jump.

Dave I shall never be sick of being reffered to as 'Queen of the Fairies'. Besides, it fulfills PSD's requirement of me having a nickname...

(PS - Not as it sounds...)

Perhaps you can be fairy godmother and get me off the hook then?

Well I was being suggested as Prince Charming...

I don't mind whichever way. You shall have to bring it up with the casting committee I think!

Talking about which, I think we need a casting committee....

Good thinking! Tell you what, how about if we start a new topic dedicated to the Panto and recruit people from there?

Spose that's down to me really since I seem to have started the idea off, so....
