Chuck Out Cherimoya...

Cherimoya. "The velvety flesh is a delicious, custardy blend of banana, pineapple and strawberry notes. Mark Twain once characterized the cherimoya as 'deliciousness itself!'" - http://www.calimoya.com Shame Mr Twain forgot to mention that they're also "the diet-ers fruit". It's certainly sweet and tasty, but also kinda pointless - it's 95% seeds, 4% skin and only 1% edible fruit... You'll also be pleased to know (thanks wiki) that the seeds are poisonous if crushed open and can be used as an insecticide. Oh and you ought to avoid eating the skin as it may cause paralysis for 4 to 5 hours. Nice one Mark; you didn't tell us about those either. (Image: http://www.pcfma.com/ with thanks!)

Mmm, butt-warmed blankets for my cold feet. I have a lovely man. He's been sat on it to make it all toastie! Which makes up for a pants week so far. Yesterday, a transformer blew on Watercombe Lane and took out most of our systems. Interestingly, only half of the building. Turns out we're on two circuits - but the half that went took out the servers, so we had to close for two hours. One poor bloke upstairs had his printer running, but neither his computer or phone had any power, and one poor me got stuck outside in the cold and wet serving customers.

I did have to smile though, I nipped onto Neopets to pick up my advent calendar prize, and won a metallic christmas tree and a box of baubles! Hurray!
