I think Lidl sells avocados for around 50p.

They’re not as good here as they are on the continent or in America.

We get gorgeous looking ones here in the markets which is a shame as they are full of good fats but I can't get past the texture...

I can't get my head round dark matter. I saw Professor Brian Cox on telly standing next to a giant waterfall, trying to explain it, and I sort of hoped it would suck him in. The only dark matter I like is black chocolate. Have a good time, missis.

Celeste will be at the vets until tomorrow evening and it feels really weird to be walking around the house without a kitten in attendance, wanting to know what I am doing and getting herself shut into cupboards....

I had a wisdom tooth out and it felt like I'd lost half my head

Which was the moment I realised I'm slowly losing my manhood.

Oh I love fish wouldn't have gone till I'd finished

Our group used to slag off each other remorselessly all the time. Male p*ss taken is a given from school and beyond especially in close groups of males. When one of the lads brougha new GF into the pub they were amazed and a typical comment was "i expected the tables to be going over"

Of course we had respect if someone had bad news. Well for a while. When Dad Balders died, I was like right stop walking on eggshells you *****

wo betide if you had a slip of the tongue. The lad who said Tottenham Forest dreaded Final Score for years

One lad was called custard cos he fad severe acne as a teen. his greeting was the Rhubarb and Custard theme

Yeah just hope it doesn't confuse me and go over my head

That's what I thought, but "large cod" in Weymouth is seriously large (they do medium and normal as well). I did actually finish the fish, but not all the chips. I've always asked for large of everything all my life, but I'm having to rethink that now that I'm not what I was.

It makes men sound like appalling bullies, but there's also a sense of support. After an argument with a woman, it's almost a relief to go out and get insulted by the lads, because it's basically meaningless, even a form of acceptance.

A guess. He looks a maverick. I dont know if that is an advantage as i dont watch it.

Always look on the bright side why dont you?
Try not to think of it as something you have to understand every bit of. Even if it is too complicated for you i am sure you will learn something, if not everything.

Even scientists admit they don't fully understand it, so just enjoy the fun of its weirdness. The more we know, the less we understand.

Ah, i think it is usually used to mean something is too complicated or highbrow i think? Anyhow, i shouldn't think it will be expected for anyone to remember it all. If you needed to then perhaps you could record sections of the lecture on your blackberry so you can re-cap later.

Children learn from repetition, taking in a little more each time, so you'll probably find that a bit more sinks in every time you deal with the subject.

Sounds interesting, hope you enjoy it.

Indeed so. You can't possibly retain information on something you have no understanding of!
