I got a large tin of liquorice alsorts for my birthday, contained almost a pound of sweets, took me 4 days to eat them all. That bloke in Canada just ate to much of it.

From my Facebook page this afternoon.
A young woman, with a baby in her arms, entered a butcher shop and confronted the butcher with the news that the baby was his and asked what he was going to do about it?
He said he'd offer to provide her with free meat until the boy was 18. She agreed.
The butcher had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day the teenager who had been collecting the meat each week, came into the shop and said, "I'll be 18 tomorrow."
"I know," said the butcher with a smile, "I've been counting too, tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is the last free meat she'll get, and watch the expression on her face."
When the boy arrived home he told his mother.
The woman nodded and said, "Son, go back to the butcher and tell him I have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 18 years and watch the expression on his face

But then, if you consume too much of pretty much anything, it can have a seriously detrimental effect on your health.

Dear God it was cold on the bike. Apparently the village, the Ribble Valley and all points east have been bright and sunny..........
...........so we headed north and west. About two miles in to the ride we encountered fog and mist. 
This lasted for 12-15 miles. Freezing, absolutely bloody freezing. Still sun came out as we emerged from the cafe.
