BLUEMOMENT

OK, so here's a new Topic. Many years ago when I was quite young I used to patronise a sweetie shop with a comedian behind the counter. When I asked him for a topic he would respond by suggesting a discussion on nuclear disarmament, or whether we should join the Common Market. I had to respond by larfing politely before he would willingly exchange a Topic Bar for some coin. I don't know what happened to the Topic, perhaps like Marathon they have been rebranded.

I do find a Snickers Bar quite comforting at sea when the blood sugar gets low but it is a stupid name. Do fellow sojourners have chocolate related stories to contribute

Well I was going to tell a storey about a certain coloured ***** Magic, but cant use the word, so be it.

I once heard a story about Marianne Faithfull and a Mars bar which would be quite a comforting thought at sea but I've forgotten what it is.

I have been invited to phone my Doctors Receptionist about the small matter of a possibility that I may be developing glucose intolerance.
This would sadly curtail my wholsale consumption of chocolate, and thus there would have to be a fire sale of chocolate from Full Circles cavernous choccy mine.

I therefore decline to take part in this somewhat painful thread any further.

I must admit that I have bags of the small mars bars and milky way's while at sea. When I'm home, I never bother much with chocolate, but at sea . . . . .

If you are diabetic, the good news is that chocolate is actually quite a good energy source with the fat and sugar combination simulating low GI food

I'm surprised, given your alleged location. I would have though every visit to your fine vessel would bring that old tale back to mind.

Maybe she was singing, "SOME DAY I'LL GET OVER YOU" to it!

In the story I heard, Mick Jagger was eating one end...
