    Pop them in some hot water.:eek:
    (it will soften them, but they may end up red:))

    PS,

    Don't walk out of the office and say you are just going to empty you plums.

    I can't help wondering if he breathes on them to give em a polish!


    some of these suggestions are ridiculous.

    Being rough with the plums will bruise them which will also speed ripening.

    But then you have a bruised bit.

    Can't hold back much longer...

    So, Graham, are your plums juicy?

    (I think actually you've all just sunk to my level...;))

    They will be once I nurtured them enough. Just hope the juices don't dribble down my chin when I finally get to savour the goodness. I'll have to suck as I eat to prevent that misfortune I think :)

    (Am i sposed to take any of these suggestions seriously? I now have one of my plums next to a banana, in the bath, with warm running water and I'm slapping it around a bit).

    What about popping them in your mouth to soften them up. (not yours specifically but the owners. err dig, dig.)

    Graham no need.:)

    But the hot water one is true and not a torture. You can do it with all soft fruit. :)

    Both of my suggestions are perfectly legitimate. If people choose to see them as otherwise there is litle I can do about it.

    Putting them in a paper bag might also help.

    I'm going to create 68 AE's just to give this post lots of thankings for the giggling fit it has given me.:D
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
