Read a bit in the rest of that site. Interesting, gave me a chuckle, will return and read some more later.

Isn't Horlicks given to youngsters? Based on the listed ingredients, this looks like it's suitable only for adults. I'm interested in the unspecified ingredients mentioned at the bottom of the label!

That's the description of Inspector Japp in most of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot mysteries. I'm surprised that Philip Jackson was cast for that part. He's much better looking than "ferret-faced"! He aged well, too, based on a comparison between the character Gordon Simmonite in the three...

Coarsely mashed? They're in a class of foods that don't like me, so I've never tried them.

I've used a similar change purse for years!
