I enjoy a couple of tins while souping or tv-ing, but that gives me the munchies. Laid off those couple of tins for a few months now… no munchies… two stone gone…. Gotta stop now… as soon as I go below fourteen stone I look like a skeleton. Cheers Tom. Terry

Terry, I know machines are programmed, but that would really piss me off! Big time!

It’s an old gag, but I like it. Terry
