She created this one, and there's tons of discussion in it. People have presumably found it interesting because it's attracted a lot of contribtions.

Agreed

Also agree with kendra, I like a robust vocabulary, and someone who's not afraid to use it. Sorry, could be bothered to trawl through again and quote that properly. And I'm really not tolerant, anyone who knows me will tell you this. People in this thread seem to be depicting me as a saintly fount of reason and caring which really is an extremely long way from reality - I need Gaspode, and I need him now. Not like that.

Glucose is a sticky clear liquid made from Wheat Starches, and is a sugar, we use it in fudge too as it adds allot of Sugar crystals with very little moisture.
It has no taste, apart from sweetness obviously.

My mate said that if you chill down water and drink it it actually uses up calories, so instead of the Gym now I drink Super Chilled Carling, as this is actually burning calories I am sure, to date I have put on 4 stone, but I will keep trying as it's enjoyable.

eat a stick of celery with yer carling - that will help.

I find dipping it in mayo or some sort of garlic and chive dip helps.

Well post-exercise, it's possible. Milk is actually even better than both as a post-exercise drink though.

Aye, but do we not have problems digesting milk?

Don't worry you are still patronising and state your opinions as if they are facts.
