Typical. I post a thread about turnips and it gets hijacked by beetroot.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

CUK HEALTH WARNING

Friends Agents and Daleks

Given the recent focus on Beetroot I need to alert readers who may have been inspired to consume more Beetroot of the following concern.

Whilst Beetroot has many health advantages there is how ever one side effect which altough benign in its natrue may raise undue alarm.

After Beertoot consumption it should be noted that ones stool may well appear a distinctive dark red colour, which to the casual obeservor may be mistaken for blood in the stool.

In fact my Mother who worked as a nurse can confirm that many people worried by apparent blood in the stool upon questioning revealed that the person concerned had recently consumed Beetroot hence the concern.

However in extermis should Death occur its a good idea to consult your GP.

all the beetroots you touch
all the beetroots you see
all the beetroots you taste
all the beetroots you feel
...
...
all the beetroots you beg borrow or steal
the pickled and the packaged are in tune
but, my son, you are eclipsed by the moon

Gadzooks !!!

Are you saying theres somebody in my head but its not me?

And if the code youre working on
Starts playing its own tune
I wills see thoust upon the Darker Side of the Moon

Hit that bug myself recently.

My Workaround ?

Invest in a jar of pickled Beetroot, not quite as fresh but you can load and go without waste, as they say it the IT world.

you raise the blade
you make the change
you rearrange me till I'm sane

[AlfredJPruffock]

I'll tell you why beetroot sales are booming, I wanted one for a salad but had to buy a four pack instead. Three ended up in the compost heap.


bl**dy packaging. Sales should be in the red , not the black

Shine on Alf, you crazy diamond!

Very nice Alf.

I especially liked the bit about "scape the serpents tongue".

"Give me your hands if we be friends."

Whilst everybody has their own criterion for humour I realise that I may have unwittingly caused offence.

Therefore I offer my sinncere apologies for raising the Beetroot issue.

If Old Alf has therefore offended, think but this; and all is mended.

That you have but browsed this board while this thread did appear and this weak and idle Beetroot theme is no more yielding but a dream.

Bogeyman --do not reprehend if you pardon, we will mend.

And, as I am an honest Pruffock if we have unearned luck.

Now to scape the serpents tongue.

We will make amends ere long else AJ Pruffock a liar call.

Give me your hands if we be friends.

And AJ Pruffock shall restore amends.

Very nice Alf.
