wytchcroftwhat a thing is the joy that a postbag can bring;
therefore and without ado, my response to being asked if i would consider volunteering as a neurological test subject, given my oft touted (i.e. under souled) interest in the science of the neurals, is this:
... he came back from the Cantab research centre with the head of a gorilla and the body of a sea urchin. "I'm perfectly comfortable, thank you..." he replied as we lowered him into his rock pool with a copy of the Times, he was fond of crosswords, "...only head-butting the crabs is so wretched tiresome."
elsewise, whilst some have remained silent on the topic (by 'some', of course, i mean most everybody) one or two unwise urchlings have requested the punchline to my Thought for Food entry earlier - especially in regard to Sauerkraut and its noted benefits.
weeeeell...
alack, alas - (and typical comedy) it now transpires that Sauerkraut is something i am not supposed to go near - along with the apparently now evil Broadbeans!!
*cue ridiculous ominous music*
this is coz of a high amount of potentially brain/eye aggravating Tyramine. Yes, i know that that sounds like something Trek's Engineer Scotty or my beloved Chief Tyrol from BSG would wanted mined and sent to the processing plants right now Godsdammit! - but take it from me; the only thing it fuels is migraines.
Foods - J'Accuse!

*le sigh.*
anyhow, my general investigations continue - but i call to your attention the following practical public information and helpful advice.
in case of attack by killer broad bean (aka Fava Fav)
lie flat, face down, DO NOT MOVE.
do not attempt to engage the bean in conversation - affect nonchalance
do not hug the bean!
do not hug the bean!
in case of sauerkraut attack:
do not attempt hand to hand combat!
instead - dial the emergency help line and wait for the response team;
they are trained and have the necessary tools:
good luck!

and with apologies to gord, jay and bean (no relation)
