I'm not sure about those results. Wouldn't cookies with nuts in be more dangerous than a custard cream?+50 Xeno Geek Points

This sounds like an extension of the statistic that most car accidents happen within a mile or so of home or your destination. The theory is that you relax and don't pay as much attention.
What's more relaxing than a quiet cuppa with biccies?

I ate a whole pack of Tesco Value Custard Creams while drinking my coffee several months ago. At the time I had to keep a records of things I ate so I got into big trouble for that for a start. I had to keep the nutrition labels where I could. When the dietitian looked at that label she said that they were nearly poisonous considering the amount of trans-fats it had in them.
At which point I made an executive decision to leave and said that she was talking almost as much bollox as when B'Liar chanted "Things can only get better". Biscuits, dough nuts, chocolate etc with my morning coffee - luv it.
However, it could have something to do with all my clothes shrinking.
I've also managed to scald myself several times over the years.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

This reminds me of a domestic accident that happened to me when I was about eight.
It was Sunday morning and we were all getting ready for sunday school then weekly visit to nans.
So we were making toast in the kitchen, I was in the nuddie, beding over the chair buttering toast. My brother brought the next load of toast out from the grill and wondered what would happen if he nudged my bare bum with the toasting tray.
Of course the smell of scorched buttocks put everyone off their toast, not to mention the howls from a badly-bum-burned EO.
To add insult to injury, I had to pull my pants down in Nans to show the assembled extended family the two red raw stripes across me bum
