Mine's the same, never properly cooked since we moved here, apart from maybe a tin of beans once

I can't believe I didn't know how nice they were! I just tried 'Nature Valley' oats and honey crunchy granola bar and it is gorgeous each serving comes with 2 bars and I had the first bar before I went out, came back and had the second bar with a cup of tea, and when I checked the pack they are only 194 calories per serving (2 bars) yay! Mmmmm That should last me until dinner now.

I haven't had any today, but I have had a creme egg

I agree, Rob was nice

Noooooo not mint, my mortal enemy!

Haven't read that one, wasn't too interested in the movie at the time either.

It is a beautiful book, really a joy to read. You get sad when it's over and want to read it again

Ditto and ditto!

Thought I'd put a little note here too just so say the new cover is processed so from now on any copy you order will have the new cover, not the old one. The pic on amazon still needs to update though Thanks guys!

I didn't know what to expect when picking up a book of Steve Martin's, but this was such a pleasant enjoyable book it quickly became one of my favourites and has engraved itself on my memory ever since. Not sure what category to put it in - it's definitely comedy though, and so very hysterically funny at that. The book centres around the main character Daniel Pecan Cambridge, and starts when Daniel first receives a notification (and error) from MENSA with some bad news about his application. Daniel is a young man (never really establish his age as it changes a bit based on who he's talking to) who has serious problems and OCD to the point where he can't cross pavements unless there's 2 opposing scooped-out driveways, and can't function in his apartment unless there's a specific amount of wattage. He is also a genius and uses giant magic squares to help calm himself down. But this is such a lovely, heart warming book at the same time - Daniel starts out alone with nothing but letters from his gran and along the way he meets some great characters. I won't say anymore because it will spoil the story (hope I haven't so far, not used to writing reviews!) but I hope you will read it because it is most definitely worth reading and I personally love this book and have read and re-read it

I remember I got this years ago - I don't think I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would, but as far as I can remember it wasn't a terrible book either. Sort of middle-ground. It's been a long time since I read it though

Red pudding?! What is that?!

You forgot Sex and the City 2! That'll be 2010 too

Nope, always got it from the chippie before, battered like they do the fish. I don't like black pudding - granted, never really given it much of a chance but I don't like the reason it's black in the first place

Yes, that's why I miss it so much. I'd recommend at least trying one, they are yum (if you can find one, that is!) And if you do find one, let me know, I'll be right over there!

It's sort of like haggis pudding only much lighter and without the disgusting bits (I do like haggis occasionally by the way, but not from a chippie). White pudding is made from mostly oatmeal I think - it has bits of suet, onions and spices too (just looked that up) and it's also sometimes referred to as 'mealy pudding'.

What do Glasgow chippies have against the humble white pudding?? I can't find any fish and chip shop that sells white pudding in Glasgow, so can anyone inform me of one? I miss my white pudding and no I don't want haggis either.

Hello Batty, nice to meet you and welcome I'm sure you'll fit in here just fine

Good to hear! Yuck, mint!
