Two Margarines on the Go
I’m ill and busy at the moment—-not a great combination. To anyone else in my position can I prescribe the perfect medication? Take one listening of Two Margarines by John Shuttleworth every 24 hours. It’s a dramatic reconstruction of the domestic disaster of having Two Margarines on the Go (i.e. opening a new tub without realising that there is one tub already open), and set to a samba rhythm.
Two margarines on the go It’s a Nightmare scenario Two margarines in my fridge It’s enough to end a Happy marriage
Side effects may include Lemsip shooting from your nose.

Might I suggest http://askaninja.com/ too. It's buckets o' laughs for me. Nothing funnier than a guy with a big vocabulary (including words he makes up) in a ninja suit taking on the spectrum of Science, Relegion, Politics and other ninja-related delimas.

Heh, reminds me of when my sister got so excited about being accepted to the University she'd been hoping for that she poured herself a Diet Coke, and then proceeded to go get a class of water, not even realizing that the diet coke was still there waiting for her.

I heard this on Radio 4. It is fab. May his toast always land margerine side up.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling unwell and hope you get well soon. I just finished reading "Adrian Mole & the Weapons of Mass Destruction" last week, and it had a similar cheering effect. It is also the most brilliant piece of comic writing that I have read in the last few years.

Jonathan Briggs: I know---we're almost feral out here
. The clock is set on my server, and I can't be bothered to toggle the setting for BST twice a year. It's only an hour here or there...
JonH: Thanks! Still sniffling and coughing.
Justin Palmer: Heh, that's great. I like the ninja chat-up lines.
Steve: Groan :-D
nourdine: Wasn't actually me with the margarine, you know...

I do that kind of thing all the time without getting excited. It's called getting old.
Jonathan Briggs: OK, I ought to ban you for that kind of pun!
Nick Booth: Yes, I've heard it a couple of times (on his radio show, and also on Front Row). The 'Ken's Computer Corner' jingle always kills me.
ThoughtBadger: Haven't read that one, I don't think, though I loved the earlier Adrian Mole books in the 80s.

I must say, it's funny to think about that, as in imagining the whole situation. It's like when you lit a cigarette 1 min ago and the another, not remembering that you already had one. As for margarine, it took butter's place in my fridge a while ago, and I'm not happy with it, but there's little I can do, considering the prices.

The chap I set next to at work has "Two Margarines" as his ringtone - finally, a phone that makes all the right noises!

You may laugh, but there's nowt worse than two anythings on the go at the same time. Best thing to do is take the plunge and choose the oldest looking one. You might have to give them the sniff test first. When done, the freshest of the two should be tightly wrapped in bubble wrap and hidden away. It's the only way...

Benben - by all means but don't put them in the fridge with the perishables.
