Another No.10 petition...

[Pford75]

Don't mind marmite....but I've always been more of a Bovril fan

 

[JoceAndChris]

Er, better at what, Joce?

It's an after-several-large-glasses-of-wine discussion!

lime marmalade.

Isn't that taking the forum's mania for this breathable material a bit far?

 

[Jon Maine]

Done that, my wife and I, now all that talk about wine I think I need some more.............

 

[Flyfisher]

lime marmalade.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I really didn't see that one!

 

[Penners]

now all that talk about wine I think I need some more.............

I'll drink to that.

 

[Jon Maine]

now all that talk about wine I think I need some more.............

I'll drink to that.

So will I, I propose a toast to Penners the birthday boy

 

[JoceAndChris]

Mmm, I second that!

And are we drunk enough to do the whole "People who like marmite swallow not spit" debate yet? :lol:

 

[Moo]

Hic

 

[JoceAndChris]

hup.

 

[Jon Maine]

Speners neevr turned up to dirnk hsi share, hic

Swallow is my philosophy, have you tried marmite and peanut butter?

 

[FamilyWiggs]

I feel like I'm arriving the morning after.... Joce, I really didn't see that one coming!

At least that's my excuse... :wink:

 

[Ushy M]

have you tried marmite and peanut butter?

Mmm Mmm... my favourite toast toppping. Petition duly signed. Stop messing about with my food. Marmite especially good on our homemade spelt bread. Vegemite though... Yuck! our Aussie cousin is convinced we like the stuff and brings over vast quantities in his hand luggage. Anyone out there able to shift a 600g jar of the evil stuff?

 

[JoceAndChris]

have you tried marmite and peanut butter?

Mmmmm- delicious, had it this morning. The best is peanut butter and red hot pepper jelly, hot and salty is what I like!

Anyone out there able to shift a 600g jar of the evil stuff?

Definitely. Chickens love this too. Only pure carnivores do not enjoy the taste of salt: herbivores and omnivores can and do seek it out.

I thought they already added folic acid to bread
Will it mean that it's safer for teenage mothers-to-be to carry on smoking and drinking during their pregnancy?**

Anyway, what about fluoridation of drinking water? I don't like the idea of mass medication either but my son has only got one filling whereas I have a mouth full of them - and, before you ask, he was terrible at cleaning his teeth regularly until girls arrived on the scene (why do they always make us chaps clean up our act?).




**OK, cheap shot, guilty as charged. Although, ironically, it's probably biologically safer for teenage girls to have babies than 30- or even 40-somethings.

TEETH ! Now I can speak with SOME authority on that !
Funny thing with fluoride, it can actually CAUSE problems with the enamel, when "overdosed"making it white and chalky and infact MORE prone to caries, also it can "mask" areas of decay so that the outside of the tooth looks fine but the caries works away under the enamel and eventually the tooth enamel cracks off, in the worst cases leaving just the root ( with nerve exposure in some cases) in place, All that glisters is not gold !
As dental science progresses, we discover some amazing things, there does seem to be a genetic link to caries resistance, and so much more , but for now at least the best advice is still regular thorough brushing and flossing to remove the plaque, and watching what we eat between meals, to maintain the oral acid at about 5. FIN XX :roll:

 

[Ushy M]

Vegemite for chickens - excellent idea! Presumably it gets into the eggs, obviating the need to put it on your eggy soldiers. Maybe the eggs come out brown too! Sadly Joce, I think the postage costs would exceed the intrinsic worth of the stuff, so my mum's Silkies may be the beneficiaries.

 

[JoceAndChris]

so my mum's Silkies may be the beneficiaries.

Great idea, mix it in with some cheapo porridge and water, that'll get rid of it. Ahhhh, Silkies -xxxxx

:lol: I don't think we've had teeth on the forum before! 8)

Can I just pass on my ancient technique? Bicarb of soda is better than any toothpaste - if you have the understandable evidence of the stresses and strains of owning a period property- ie: coffee, wine stains - a clean dishcolth, dipped in bicarb, and polished on teeth, works wonders. Fine wire wool is even better.

Now judrop will tell me I'm murdering my teeth.

 

[Moo]

Joce's tip should be taken very seriously (the wire wool bit with a light sprinkling of salt, perhaps). Her teeth would grace any toothpaste ad.

 

[JoceAndChris]

:shock:
