I like some items in this list. It wouldn't be a healthy diet on its own though. It's not a complete list either - it's just what I can think of now.

I've just got out of the bath. Although the water was steaming hot, as soon as I put my toes into the water they felt ice cold for a few seconds. Sometimes this happens; maybe it's a problem with my circulatory system - I don't know, I've never mentioned it to the doctor.

My extremities; feet, fingers, nose, ears [and yes, even my penis sometimes] also feel like they're burning when the weather is really cold.

I noticed that they were selling faggots cheap in town this morning. When you've got itchy and sore piles like I have though, the last thing you need is faggots.

A teenager called directory inquiries to book a taxi but ended up having a cabinet delivered – because she asked for a “cab, innit”.
The 19-year-old Londoner wanted a taxi to take her from her home to Bristol Airport, and first asked for the number using the Cockney rhyming slang “Joe Baxi”.
When the baffled operator told her she could not find anyone listed by that name, the teen snapped back: “It ain’t a person, it’s a cab, innit.”
The operator then found the nearest cabinet shop, Displaysense, and put the girl through.
She then spoke to an equally bemused saleswoman and eventually fumed: “Look love, how hard is it? All I want is your cheapest cab, innit.
I need it for 10am. How much is it?”
The sales adviser said it would be £180 and the girl gave her address and paid with a credit card.
The next morning, the company delivered an office cabinet to her home in South London.
The girl then called back in a fury and Displaysense finally realised the mistake.
The firm, of Bishop’s Stortford, Herts, has now apologised and refunded her cash after the mix-up two weeks ago.
Marketing manager Steve Whittle said yesterday: “We thought it was a joke at first but the girl was absolutely livid.
“We have suggested that maybe she should speak a bit clearer on the phone.”
