This a good example of me liking a post by accident when going to quote :P

Food is sacred?
Does that include Maccas? y:-?
Sugar is, which is why people worship it.
Have you ever tried a sugar sandwich?

I have. :)


Where is the drooling smiley? Admittedly I was a kid. It tasted great then anyway.

So much so they die for it.

PS. No need to be nasty Nessa! :(
Well, it was really a freudian slip like tricky ricky did earlier with me...where you like the poster so much you end up hitting the like button. Does that you feel better? :P

No, but you spelled color wrong. That u is not necessary. You Brits, and British prisoners, always want to complicate things.
John 5:24

I find Matt 5:18 very relevant to the US vs. British spelling debate:
  • "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass... until all is accomplished."
"Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Proof beyond proof that colour is not spelled "color".
