What happens at 4hrs 22min then?

I've been watching the TV tonight and low and behold a advert for quaker oats of all things came on. Now apparently Quaker oats can keep you going for 4hrs and 21 minutes. Now two things spring to mind, firstly where did they get that precise a measurement from and secondly what happens when you get to 4hrs 22. Do you just keel over?

Talking of Adverts, we also saw that Skoda advert where they make a Car cake. Which is the same size as a full scale car. Grumpy always asks this so just out of interest does anyone know what they did with that cake after the advert finished? Please let me know so I can then at least answer Grumpy and make sure it stops asking the same question, again, again and again.

I had a new bugbear! Yes it's people who write emails using text speak. I have only one question, WHY?

Grumpy decided we were going to have something different for Tea tonight. He decided to do chops and sausages. Don't ask me why, he just did. Well at least it makes more sense then when he serves up baked potatos with Sprouts and cauliflower.

We've only got two more weeks of the eternal marriage course, then we'll be on double lessons of the old testament course until easter. This weeks lesson involved the importance of Faith, Hope and Charity and it's importance in dating. Which is true, I have Faith in the hope that one day a girl might show charity and agree to do on a date with me :-)

anywy, it's the weekend now. Time to relax and most probably spend my weekend the way I usually spend most of my weekends. Do nothing constructive and just lazy around :-) Tis the life!

later!

Ask and ye shall receive...

Hi - I can advise that once filming was completed, we would have liked to have offered the Fabia cake to local charities, schools and hospitals. Unfortunately, as the car had been under studio lights for several days, it may have posed a health and safety risk if eaten and we were therefore unable to do this.

Some goodies from the car were preserved and vacuum packed such as the marzipan wing-mirrors, chocolate speedometer, wafer engine fan and the Fabia badge icing, and will be held as mementoes of the production.

It was decided that as we were unable to donate the cake to charity, the cake was instead recycled. It was taken away and composted, so that it could return to the natural environment. The cake was taken to a place called the East London Community Recycling Project in Clapton. The project has been set up to provide local residents and members with quality compost for use on their gardens or allotments.

Yours sincerely,
