f1 probably = tyre bits

aau lorry = crumbs

Crisp sell-by dates are always a Saturday; that is a nerdy fact (the kind I like:)) to amaze or bore your friends [delete as appropriate]

You're not alone! We all do!

It all started for me when someone told me that, so I checked a few crisp packets, but didn't believe that it was every crisp packet, so I got in touch with Seabrooks (true story, on some pretext about researching a TV documentary I think, can't remember what story I made up:o), spoke to the PR lady there, she wasn't sure, so she asked the Seabrooks production manager, who confirmed that, yes, it was true; apparently, it originated when the stock change-over day for crisp retailers was a Saturday, and when sell-by dates were introduced, they just followed that tradition.

Some people don't get bit. Does anybody get bit too much or too little? In which case what is your blood type? There are meant to be some blood types that mozzies don't bite as they allegedly find it repellant, but I don't remember which one it is!

When I lived in Scotland I seem to recall that you didn't have to go too far out of the cities before you were eaten alive by the midges, especially in the west where there's a lot of temperate rainforest.

I remember when the atkins diet was all the rage and some people said it seemed to stop them getting bitten by insects. Something to do with low carb changing how the blood smells to the insects and repelling them :eek:

And people who eat garlic, apparently; that is, eating it regularly or a few hours beforehand, rather than chewing on a clove:eek:; though I've heard that this is a bit of an urban myth.
Though if it's mosquitos, it's only the female ones that do the biting ... typical:rotfl:

I need a glitch on apples (and, indeed, other fruit as well wouldn't be disliked!;)). I am opening the last pack:eek: of Jazz apples tonight.
