    Breakfast cereal claiming to be healthy. They're not.

    Diet foods claiming to be healthy. Low fat, but added sugar. Not even remotely healthy, like breakfast cereals.

    I have a gluten intolerance and I can safely say that bread is nutritionally devoid poison.

    The price of anything ever. It will always have a healthy mark up. Gougingly so. You see things drop hundreds of euro a few months after release, and then get reduced further, and then go on sale, and at that stage the person trying to sell you the thing is telling you there barely making a profit on it. Bollox. China has anything bulk made going for pennies. Good food being an obvious exception. I'm sure there are others.

    Gobstoppers never shut anyone up.

    Used Always. Did not have a happy period.

    Tried Frosties. They weren't that great.

    Had a McDonalds. Wasn't lovin' it.

    Bought some Ronseal. It didn't do anything that it said it would on the tin.

    What a disappointing day. Screw it, I'm going to bed. Bed doesn't lie.

    If it did give you wings, why did Felix Baumgartner need a parachute?

    And it was a book about a never ending story. (well, technically a book about a book about a never ending story. And it was sooo much better than the shyte films.
