    Amazing how positive they all are - no-one's a "golden delicious. Bland and the texture's a bit odd. Keeps a long time, though."

    Or "out of season plum. Looks all right, but taste is pretty awful and goes mouldy fast"
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    No point in me taking the test.

    I'd be a ripe Queensland mango. Slightly wrinkly but apart from that completely wonderful.

    I'm a grape too....
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    A third banana here. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Or a grape. Completely pointless unless crushed and then locked in a cellar for a year.

    I too am a grape. I am happy to be a grape and was starting to worry as I dislike bananas almost as much as mushrooms.

    In other news, how amazing is the news coming out of Australia this morning?

    That with no wreckage, no flight plan and the main tracking devices switched off, they have come close to finding MH370. If proven, this will be the most astonishing feat. It is also one of those rare events that makes maths look very sexy. Brilliant work by great and determined minds, as well as dogged determination and skill of those searching. Amazing.
