    Aha! I had, on possibly as many as 2 or 3 occasions, wondered why such names are no longer used for dope. Moroccan Black, incidentally, seemed to be the roll-up additive of choice in Norf London when I was growing up. Although I suspect some of it was Knorr beef stock cubes.

            How about YOU wearing a heart monitor, connected to you mobile phone / GPS thingie.

            You should be able to program it such that if you heart is not detected, it could post your very own obituary to TPD. In fact, why not have it start a new thread specifically for the purpose?

            If you get it uploading photos and your co-ords to Facebook, you might be able to start a brand new craze: "the last thing I saw photo".

                The only times I've ever done it, it had no effect.

                Maybe I'm just boring.

                    It gets even more interesting a few days after that...

                    Speaking of uploading photos, I've started a new set on flickr: Food on the Pavement Outside the Pub

                      Strangely, I like Shredded Wheat.

                      I scrunch them up in the packet, put the little bits into the bowl & bung the milk on, mash it all down and then leave it for about ten minutes.

                      Yumski.

                      I do not understand why there's only two in the packets these days, there used to be 3. I've always eaten 3 Shredded Wheat at a time; two is a silly quantity. It's like eating a Weetabik.
