Its great having a friend who will do anything for money...
As the many people who have one will testify. One of the funniest things I've ever seen is my friend Matt, having been bet £10 by two of us (so £20 at stake here) that he couldn't eat an entire bar of lightly salted Anchor butter, take on the challenge.

Just recalling him unwrapping, and biting with gusto into, that bar of yellow, salty goodness like it was a giant Mars Bar, only to stop munching on the first mouthful like a startled sheep because it was "fucking disgusting", gives me the giggles.

Not particularly heroic or outrageous but if anyone knows someone like this I wholehearedly recommend any kind of raw-butter-eating related bets.

Reminds me ...
I had a history teacher at secondary school who was teaching us about the Masai in Kenya, explaining that they had such healthy looking skin because they washed themselves with vegetable fat, which, he added, is essentially soap.
"Fat=Soap=Huge strapping glowing fuckers with spears? Fuck me, that's a winner" I thought.
As soon as I got home I got the Flora out of the fridge and smeared my whole face with it, thinking I'd immediately develop the swarthy virile sheen of a West African tribesman.

Funnily enough, I just looked like a really shit piece of toast. And my mum bollocked me for wasting good spread.
