I should have known better than to buy a huge bar of Fruit and Nut at lunch time shouldn't I?

I ate the last square before working out that's nearly 1000cals of chocolate I've managed to eat in about 2 hours.

I'm going to be looking like Mrs Blobby in no time

Ah love handles. Nowt wrong with them

In the words of Morrissey, you're the one for me fatty!

Never mind. The fruit must be at least one of your five a day, the nuts are probably a really good source of roughage, and isn't there a rule that if you don't know you're eating something really fattening it doesn't count?

I went round Cadbury World a couple of weeks ago, in the shop there they are selling huuuuuge 5kg bars of Dairy Milk. 5kg - that's 11lbs in proper measurements, can you imagine the calories (and spots) that would add to anybody?

Ah Cadbury World, I've been there a couple of times. What a great place!!! I was like a kid on Christmas morning in that giftshop afterwards.

I've been getting into dark chocolate lately, it's an antioxidant. I took it to the extremes though & ended up one week having a slab a day.

I'm well into Bournville and perhaps something up to 55% cocoa but the really bitter 70% and above stuff tastes awful .

I beg to differ! I much prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate. I love dark chocolate with high cocoa content (over 70%); I must have very refined tastebuds. Ooh, la de da is me.

It's the 70% i've been getting into. Have you tried the one with orange bits in? Oh my God, if only it counted, I could easily eat 5 of those a day.

I love the really bitter, really high percentage Lindt chocolates. You really know you've had some chocolate when you've have that!

A nice birra Cush'un for the push'un!!!

I'm a big fan of proper dark chocolate, but Mandrake - even if you don't like the high percentage stuff, get hold of some properly produced dark chocolate, around 50% or something. There's an absolute world of flavour and complexity to good chocolate, and if you taste it along side Bourneville you'll realise the latter is effectively just a block of tasteless sugar!

If anyone classes themselves a "chocoholic". it's well worth trying to "get into" dark chocolate - a great way to do it is to go to a chocolate tasting evening somewhere. Not only are the flavours so much better, it's much better for you because a) it's not full artificial c*** (not the best), b) it's full of anti-oxidants and c) you need to eat far less of it.

Two words ...

Hotel Chocolat ........

Ah, but then he can't make his mind up

How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say :
"Oh ! Would you like to marry me ?
"And if you like you can buy the ring"

Such wonderous events take place?

Of all the possible permutations of three words in the English language, the above is surely the second greatest of them all....
In case you're wondering, its second to "chocolate coated women"
